    You know you could be banned for having showed this... Nice work, that said and I like some Béla Fleck from time to time. 😉

    Waterboys at York Barbican in Thursday who were great. First time I'd seen them and rockier than I was expecting, not a fiddle, whistle or the like in evidence. They showcased the new "Life, Death And Dennis Hopper" album which I enjoyed, but those with me were a bit agnostic about, at best. Sound was a bit weird balance wise, with some instrumentation not as audible as others eg Hammond vs piano. Bass player was very "on it" (Aongus Ralston) using what looked like a Wilcock Mullarkey for the first section, before swapping to a P bass.

    The series before was called the American Special, wasn't it? There will probably be another similar product with a couple of small improvements and something taken away (my bet is truss rod above the nut and skunk stripe on the back of the neck, like the cheaper Mexican instruments and the newest American Ultra II.)

    Sounds very promising, except with the Full Circle... The electric bass sounds good too through this amp. Following this with great interest.

    You might already be aware of the 'blues note', which is a note that guitarists often use in their riffs and solos. If you use this 'blues note' in your bass lines or licks, your lines will sound more authentically bluesy. But did you know that this 'blues note' is part of the Blues Scale and that there are in fact two blues notes, the flat 5th and the flat 3rd? The blues scales are based off of the pentatonic scales and contain one extra note. It's important to have these scales under your fingers if you want to have creative freedom with your Blues bass playing. I’ve made a video lesson explaining how to turn pentatonic scales into blues scales. You can also download a free PDF containing handy fret diagrams of the various scales - link in video description. Enjoy!

    I don’t think they’re allowed to say ‘made in USA’ any more unless every component is made in USA. But yes, probably not much craftsman carving going on.

    Thanks fabbabass! Body is a standard P bass size and a fair bit smaller than the original Jazz bass body that it was attached to tbh- maybe the pics don't show that. I agree - the neck is beautiful and that's why I wanted to build my own bass around it... It's a bass for someone out there....

    Price drop £700- open to sensible offers For sale: my dream bass, built with no expense spared, using only the finest components. This was my exclusive bass for around three years, including on a full UK tour with EXTC — featuring Terry Chambers, original drummer of XTC. Specs: Neck: Beautiful quartersawn flame roasted maple Jazz bass neck, oil-finished with a rosewood fingerboard — hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds (Oxfordshire) Body: Alder, metallic grey finish — also hand-crafted by Neil at Custom Guitar & Bass Builds Pickups: Hand-wound by Jamie at The Creamery (Manchester) — custom 1960-spec Jazz Bass and 1958-spec Precision Bass pickups Bridge: Babicz Full Contact Bridge Electronics: John East Uni-Pre (customisable, 3-knob pickup controls) Tuners: Hipshot lightweight tuners Assembly: Professionally built to the highest standard Condition:Good- some scratches and dinks from regular use — see photos or ask for more details. I upgraded the tuners to Hipshots so there are some small holes left from the previous tuners. Includes a finger ramp- could do with a respray! (easily removable though – attached with double-sided tape). Sound:Massive tonal flexibility, amazing clarity and depth — from deep vintage warmth to tight, modern punch. A truly powerful, versatile bass that suits any genre. Reason for Sale: Only selling as I've now moved permanently to short-scale basses, and this is no longer getting the use it deserves. Price: £700 (sensible offers considered) Cost about £1500 to put together. Collection preferred. Happy to send more photos, recordings, or arrange a try-out for serious buyers.

  21. supabock
    5 string set of 3/8" Hipshot Licensed Ultralite tuners in shiny Chrome, all in great condition 4+1 configuration for a right handed bass. Have been in my parts drawer for a while and i've not got around to using them. Can provide more photos if required. Not sure what postage would be until packed ready to go, but I'm sure we can work something out.
  22. neepheid
    Not so - last time I took this deal, the points codes worked (and no, I didn't return the strings).

    Guessing people buy them, add the players points then return, rinse then repeat.

  30. Leonard Smalls started following Kawai Sleekline bass - Any knowledge out there please?
  31. Leonard Smalls
    I've got one of these as well! Bought it back in 1987 or so and replaced the pick-ups with EMGs - tis a surprisingly funky little number! Doesn't get much use any more I'm afraid...
  32. Si-Fi
    Aye it is me after a small stone nano but the one with gun metal grey and red chassis. Appreciate the heads up. 👍
  33. HeadlessBassist
    Possibly a good thing for us lot - Out of sight, out of mind (and hopefully less out of pocket!)

    Hence why you hardly ever see them for sale! 🙂

    That's the one indeed!

    Since entering the world of double bass ownership, I’ve watched a lot of the content put out by the guys at Upton Bass in the good’ol US of A. Last week they posted this interesting video of a combo they are developing specifically for double bass. Interesting combination of a down firing 10” woofer with a front mounted mid-range driver, built-in HPF and an eq ‘specifically voiced for double bass’. Still in the prototype stage, but I thought I’d share here. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJZ-FN3yk-b/
