  1. Past hour
  2. I'd also point out that a higher string action will make your instrument project better and also let you dig in more.

  4. Definitely have it professionally appraised before proceeding down any route to sell it. There's a few luthiers and sellers in the uk that are specialized and/or knowledgeable with basses.
  5. Lovely bass by the way. I'm on the lookout for a slim necked Spector. They have a georgous US relic'd NS2 with the thin neck at Bass Direct, but its the thick end of seven grand, which is an awful lot of money...
  6. Thats a good question. Its easy enough to take a bit of depth out of the 'shoulders' of a neck. Its also fairly straightforward to make a neck shallower from front to back as long as you have enough clearance from the underneath of the truss rod. I think though that the Wimbish ones are 1.5" wide at the nut and the standard ones are 1.61" (thats from memory so I might be wrong on the exact decimals), so that would be quite a job, reducing the width at the neck and then in turn changing the taper of the neck from where it joins the body. I'd be interested to know if anyone has had this done?
  7. this is one of those subjects that you have lost before you have even started ...everyone has their favourites ...currently listening to visions of you by jah wobble.
  8. Today
  9. No, It Wasn't Him - Stacy
  10. I don't have a digital caliper to measure it with such exact precision. But I imagine those specifications can be found on the Fodera website.
  11. I have the same…..it sounds realy like an Alembic…..
  12. Price Drop To £300
  13. No more wenge necks in the range, which is a shame as they were what I liked most
  14. Hi there, just wondering if you’d be open to any trades at all? If so, I’d be happy to chat through a few options. Cheers!
  15. LOOKING TO BUY / WASHBURN S1000 STATUS BASS 

  16. Gotoh GB11W might be worth a look... https://g-gotoh.com/product/gb11w/?lang=en
  17. Hahahha thanks @Beedster! I'm looking for a quick sale so any offers will be considered!
  18. Yesterday
  19. £1k less and a pound in weight less and I would have been interested
  20. from that review.... basically what we all thought. Pretty cool bass but *massively* overpriced, unfortunately.
  21. Thanks @itu ! Lots to think about there...
  22. A floor is one big unit. The comparison between a tiny neck and an acre of maple is not fair. A carpenter told me that any wooden floor moves, no matter if it's oiled, painted, or lacquered. It should float, or it can be attached from one side, but it moves a lot. I've had necks that need a tiny bit of adjusting in spring and autumn, like the original Affirma fretted 4, but not the fretless 5. My basses with carbon necks are stable round the year.
  23. In Guitar Guitar Edinburgh I had money itching in my pocket after being paid for a big contract. The GAS was strong and I was uhmming about a Gretch White Falcon when my brother spotted a Hohner Jack Custom V hidden in the back and only £300. I'm a big Hohner headless fan having gigged a B2 for 10 years in the 90s, and this was the top of the range model. It was set up beautifully and immaculate. Said I'd have it... and they guy said I think there's a case. There was, with a decent strap fitted with Dunlop Straplocks and a quality lead inside.
  24. Too bad there's no shorty in new models.
  25. It depends on the individual instrument, as sizing is nonstandard. Measure the playing lenght on your instrument and refer to the string maker's specifications. You can put on a string that's longer than needed, but you can't fit one that's too short...
  26. I’m currently ok for all those dates except Sunday 17th May. Sunday 5th April is Easter Sunday, so that might not be ideal for some people.
