Recently bought this to stick behind my amp as backup to my P bass at gigs. However, the wife has finally signed off a dream purchase to scratch my rickenbacker itch so this goes towards the funds. Really nice bass this with excellent tuners, Bassline PJ Pickups and what looks like a slab rosewood fingerboard. Ive strung it with my favourite Elites Groundwounds which give a great growl but also a nice fundamental. Ive also swapped out the cheaper looking dome knobs for more traditional flat top ones. There are no major dings or dongs and everything works as it should. The one caveat i will add is this is not a particularly lightweight bass. Ill dig the luggage scales out but id envisage it is around 9lbs+ I currently have no means of packing this but that may change in the near future. As such at the moment it would be collection from Bolton or usual basschat meetup. I use a dual gigbag so dont have a case/bag for this though i could try and source a cheapo one if needed. Any questions please just fire away. Pics will follow asap-

£18k Is a crazy amount of money for a guitar but if I was lucky enough to be in position to buy that Jazz bass I would. Yes you can buy many much better basses for that kind of money but it's not the point. I saw an advert for a mk1 Ford Escort being sold for £25k, some for much more. My £2k Vauxhall Astra is a much better car in every way but it's not a 50yo very cool and desirable car to certain people.

I have an identical one of these. Its an absolute joy to play and sounds as good as any pbass ive ever owned. -
I disagree because I believe i can hear a difference, even on the clips Andy Baxter puts out. If there wasn’t, are all those professionals who play them live and in the studio putting up with the maintenance and potentially devaluing their asset for nothing? if you do believe it’s a placebo, more power to you because you can buy a much nicer instrument or custom shop copy for a lot less.

This is my favourite bass drive pedal, but I just got an Anagram so needs to go. It's a Rat based pedal, designed to emulated Justin Chancellor's tone. Comes with original box, price includes UK shipping.-

If I recall correctly, the BBVI is the BB1600 for the Asian market, I’m sure someone will correct me sooner rather than latter 😎🤘

I've found a few open Mic nights this eve on your rec and so I'll be checking them out in the next week or so

My brother In law is a drummer and we've jammed before and I spent months looking for guitar players and a singer which we did eventually find but after one jam he backed out sighting life issues and the other three just fell apart sadly

Swallow It - Brandon Flowers

Are there any open mics or jam nights near you? Would be worth exploring if there are. Also, are there any rehearsal studios around by you? They're worth checking out for adverts and putting your own adverts in. Bassists are generally quite in demand, almost as much as drummers.

Ibanez LACS. Anyone got any hands on experience with one?

Very nice. And, fortunately, sold (not to me). -
Basic personal hygiene - bath or shower at some point in the day before going to audition. If you're nominally clean-shaven, shave too. And make sure your clothes are clean. From the "auditioning them" point of view, work out whether they're roughly as competent as you. A bit better is fine, it'll pull you up. A little worse should be OK, especially if you can pull them up. On which subject, work out whether criticism can be given and taken if you can.

No, your browser auto completed your password for you, the web site certainly didn't, otherwise what would be the point of having a password? So maybe in the time since you last ordered you have either changed your password on some other device, or put it wrong on that computer or they have auto changed their passwords a while back, but either way it sis wrong. But no, no trouble ordering with Gear4music last time I did it which was last month.

Well, I am sure it isn't easy to accidentally release them. I am not a dingwall fan, but they do put effort into their custom hardware, so I would imagine they have thought it through completely. I don't want one anyway, as i have been put of dingwalls, but like to see a bit of innovation where it happens.
