Thanks guys. Sorry, my post might have been misleading - I’m not thinking of selling. I think this bass will go to my grave with me! I’d also have no clue what it’s worth.

Buy a 3 strings bass, or start a D-A-D cover band. 😂😉 Funny as it's often the opposite, the thicker string being used as a thumb rest... Strange that you find that the notes normally played on the G string sound better on the D string as they lack depth and harmonics (you can't change the laws of physics). That said, if it suits your needs and playing, why bother except for that unused string you throw away at each strings changing. Perhaps, just buy 3 new separate strings instead of a full set or ask Newtone to make you 3 strings sets. PS: I've always used all the strings on my sixer (fretless) basses, but that's the way I play and I guess that's certainly why I exclusively play piano now as I wasn't a frustrated guitarist, but a frustrated pianist. 🤦🏻🤪😂

You're* *Sorry

Champagne & Reefer - Muddy Waters

Depends which Iron Maiden song I play , it's used a lot.

Unless, of course, it's Mudvayne... And I tend to use the G string all the time. It's useful for excessive widdling.

I’ve never seen one advertised at less than 4.3kg - I window shopped them for 18 months before buying mine (and promptly traded it a fortnight later! This is the bass that taught me a hard lesson in making sure you’ve played one before buying one! 🤣)

I like the general look of the two shown here, but I'm very much of the mindset that if the body design is asymmetrical then this needs to follow through to the headstock design (a la Gibson EB3) and conversely if the body design is offset, then then a Fenderesque is fine.

Off-the-scale craftsmanship

Cold Gin - Kiss

Nice! I hope there is some softening of the break angle at the nut. Your strings might not like a sharp transition.

Your G string is all yours.

My BB P34 was 4.33 kg.

I like these - it's good to see a builder with the guts to use their own designs. The three models appear to be the same apart from the body shape - the offset NQ appeals to me, the other two do look a bit neck-divey... I'd quite like to see that in confetti pink with a pearl scratchplate - in fact I'd quite like to see pics of a real one in any finish - I'm pretty sure the pics on the site are all digital renders.

Simple but with a lot of thought going into it. Peterson Strobostomp HD - Mojohand Cream Pie - Beta MK1 - Subdecay Noise Theory - Bright Onion Patchbay - Darkglass Element. This was basically my gigging rig until I got the Anagram, it’s just so blissfully simple, sounds great, easy to dial in, everything stacks. I have an effects loop where I can drop a filter or modulation after the noise theory and any other gain or octave pedals just slot in before the board. Gigrig Generator into a Cioks 4 gives me the ability to power the board with IEC or Usb C, also I can use the power out of the Peterson to power anything I add in the patchbay. Board is also tall enough that if I ever wanted to add something, the Element fits underneath. Very pleased with how this has turned out.
