Kev bought a PJB combo from me. Compete Gent. Turned up when he said he would, great communication. Top basschatter.

And it’s basically the MC8 cut in half. Morningstar controllers are wonderful things.

Shortly to be followed by the Ernie Ball Sterling Session Series by Sterling by Musicman

Thats a smart solution and looks OK! 👍🏻 I also use HD Dtuners but in PRSs so they stick out conventionally! 😁

About £50 a set. So not Pino Palladino flats expensive, but certainly a bit more than DR.

So are you now -B -BL & + C or +C+B - BL - Brass ?.....Confused Glad to hear it all worked out for the better .

Wow! Definitely not for the shy and retiring types.

Hey Moki, I did i did (a cube 20) and it was a great little thing,these days im forced to use cans (please keep that noise to yourself) now i can't recall if i sold the cube on or if it got put in the attic or workshop somewhere...humm thanks for tripping the grey matter i'll try and find it!

So like a Musicman by Sterling by Musicman

Hey Doooooooood /bow you still rocking/proging that custom 7 string? & Thx for the welcome back Yep i keep those basses around.....mostly as a ref for "how not to build stuff" & While i've been away from the Bass seat (i got into shred/fusion & classical guitar....sorry ) i did keep building stuff and even moved over to CAD/CNC just before Covid hit, I've been doing custom body and neck/fretboard work for folks who need a bit of help with their own builds or want replacement bodies for old gear etc etc for a few years now as well as some of my own guitar designs/builds, all spare/part time stuff but TBH im thinking of jumping into it full time later this year as a close death in the family has gotten me thinking about what i should be doing with my remaining days in this mortal shell (it also prompted me to pick up my basses again)...Im sure i'll get around to posting some build logs here soonish (i did post a few pics of current builds in the 3d printer thread) again thx for the welcome back You know if i only took note of YT as a ref for my question it seems you are 83.33333333333333 % correct ! (apart from the Warlock thing ) & YT was my first port of call to check in on what was New in the world of Bass....which i why i came here to ask the good Folk of BC for their input/output....seems Doublethump/sounding like a dotmatirx printer became a big thing ! Big thanks for all the feedback and replies /bow , Some of it is up my street, & other stuff not so much (although i am a lot more open minded that i was 15 years ago so i will give it all a listen) Other guys i've had on the new bassist (to me) playlist these past few days are Antoine Fafard (Sphere & Ad Perpetuum are both KIller prog/bass/fusion albums) & Felipe Andreoli - Resonance Johannes Zetterberg, some late 80/90's style fusion very CC EB Again thx for the replies and keep the rec's coming Cheers Gizmo

Lovely bass. Could definitely be bluer though.

I went for a Phil Jones 17 combo in the end. will report back when it arrives as to what it sounds like.

Let’s stick together. Roxy

So how much are they? I am (unfortunately) into Cobalt Flats for my fretless, and they too are expensive, seem to last so far though.

That is the first properly shonky Yamaha I've ever seen. Maybe the guy that was doing the book-matching for the Cort Space basses got moved to the Yamaha facility.

There are some new Sterling by MusicMan basses, one is called the Session and is a recreation of a 90s/00s Stingray, and actually branded as MusicMan logo on the headstock. Looks like a nice Stingray option for those that like a new bass, but at around £1400 you could get a ‘proper’ one secondhand.

They really really really don't want us putting aftermarket preamps in these, do they?

Two bodies needing an additional rout, ideally I’d be able to do it by post/courier 👍

Plus I made a (short) video this afternoon

I also have a BP-2, such a great pedal. Need to check out that United Vintage DI, defo looks the business. BTW, did I buy your BR15 from Reverb? 😅

The bridge rails use saddles of a Gotoh 12-string guitar bridge. Plus custom made base plates. My sister Pauline is a certified gold-smith. And she made the bridge plates from a brass profile: I sprayed them black with a 2K spray can to match the rest of the black hardware. The crazy graphics were done by cutting the pattern in a low tac film. Then spayed the black over the Lake Placid Blue layer. After it dried I peeled off the low-tac film.
