I understand your curiosity ! but I'd rather not do it myself since the ramp seems to be securely attached to the body. I mean I don't think there's any problem removing it but perhaps during a routine visit to a luthier ? Thanks for your comment! -
Purchased from bass bros. Selling for 20% less to account for private sale. you may know these are rare. Collectors item. And I believe this is one of two in the UK. Someone can chime in to confirm. Willing to go for a trade more so on BC - before this ends up on a commission sale. See what’s about. Postage is possible. It’s in essentially showroom condition. Only signs of use are on the scratch plate - a case queen. New Enie ball lights on. 20 mins of play. on the heavier side feels around the same as my 2002 stingray and Jazz bass selling as I have not given it enough love. I’m too scared to dent it. To be honest it’s not even been on my rack as I’m worried to scratch it just sitting in the case. it’s a really versatile sounding bass. On my instagram @homebass.eadg you can see me playing it with tapewounds, and rounds. Lots of different tones available from classic stingray, to Lakeland mode, to Gibson HH mode to P bass mode and then finally EBO mudbucker sound. trades interested in cash available if needed: 70s jazz bass Spector Warwick streamer maybe a interesting modern instrument on some kind just hit me up with anything interesting. Thanks Basschat! -

It’s not really created by a luthier when almost everything is CNC/machine made and assembled though is it? I get what you’re saying though, the quality of lower end instruments is ridiculously good and seems to be getting better all the time. Not sure what it’s down to, competition or new manufacturing methods maybe but the cheaper end of the market has never been better. -
Cosmic Metallic pedal sold. I've been collecting and pedal-testing solidly since COVID but a lot's been happening this year and, as my priorities are changing, it's time to start letting some of these pedals go, including those that six months ago it would have been unthinkable selling. Up on the block are a couple of Doom 2s, one being the standard gain unit (in Cosmic Metallic (the purple one)) SOLD and a high gain unit (in Jade Sparkle)). Both units are from the limited runs of 100 in 2023 and are the latest spec. £360 each (including UK Royal Mail Special Delivery postage). Neither has been used on a pedalboard and they're basically mint in box. The Wicked theme was not intentional. I'm not really looking for trades at this point but there are a handful of pedals I'm curious about: COG T-70 v2; Hamstead Subspace GE, and Chase Bliss Spectre. -

Definitely noticeably stiffer, the exception being TI Jazz flats

Apparently it was the pick ups so getting repaired then will re list -
In fact, it all depends on what ergonomics you're after which will be highly different if you play sitting or standing, offering the best for both positions is the challenge. Having owned and played close 1000 different basses, I can tell you that this challenge is still up to date. For the sitting position, the Human Base ClassX is close to perfection as the body is carved for this purpose, putting the bass at the right position instantly. That said, as @Kiwi mentioned, the Strandberg design is quite effective too, if you put the bass on your right thigh using the closest to the bridge position. Also remember that headless basses are often more ergonomics as the tuners and the headstock are anti-ergonomics... For the standing position, I think the Leduc and Le Fay basses are certainly amongst the most ergonomics basses and quite right for the sitting position.

The only cable I use is ultra low capacitance, oxygen free, double wrapped with Kevlar, gluten free hemp covering and the copper was mined on a Tuesday. It’s the only stuff I use.

I just always seem to have some around when doing speaker things...

Last call for a Sunday lunchtime meet at say Clapham or Hammersmith. I bought this after seeing the Beach Boys bassist playing one. Not only was the sound great, I realised he must have specified it for their only 2 UK gigs. Clearly the Flea set a pro standard, and for two years it has never let me down! -
Another one I am really proud of (see the health warning on the website). This is the complete Reginald Veal performance of the Gershwin tune 'Embraceable You' taken from a live video of Wynton Marsalis recorded 27th December, 2013. A wonderfully profound performance of incredible depth and musicality. Took me most of a week to get through it but worth every second. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/embraceable-you-wynton-marsalis/

Honestly the bang for buck in the £200-£400 range is unreal these days. You can get a genuinely decent instrument with no major or minor flaws for not much. It makes that stretch to spend more ever harder to justify. I don’t think I’m ever going to buy a mexi or us fender again. I can’t justify it. -
I can’t believe nobody hasn’t snapped this up at this price! It’s absurd. I’ve got one for sale myself and I’d never let it go at this price. If I had the spare cash I’d buy this! Either, folk haven’t used one of these or, everyone is being more than coy with their money. You will never really need another amp or effects, this covers it all. Absolutely baffling. -

At first glance I thought they only changed the saddle design, but I see they went with intonation screws instead of the free sliding saddle that locked in place. Interesting choice.

OK - all done. The only photos that won't come through on the linked thread are some of the other members' ones (there aren't many of those that were also done on Imgur) as I can only edit my own posts. This was one of my absolute favourite saves - I am certain that whoever buys this will be delighted with it. All of the important stuff (pickguard, circuit boards, pup, neck & headstock) is full blown genuine Wal. All I've done is replaced the fretboard and provided a body to bolt it all onto -
****SOLD***** -
Unless it were made from something other than some type of metal, I'd not imagine sonic improvements would be any different to the majority of bridges on solid bodied basses. Even high mass bridges gain you fractions of 'sustain' and tbh 1/2 of the bass playing population go out of their way to avoid sustain! LOL

You clout someone with headstock at that gig and you might get barred. 😂 Dave 🎅
