    Anyone know where I can get a custom TRC for a Ric? I’m want a ‘CurvyBacker’!

    I’ve been playing short scales for a long time. Started off with Danelectro Longhorns, and still got one. More recently it’s been a Squier Jaguar, Sire U5 ( which I’m going to sell on here soon, plug plug), Fender Kingman v2, as well as really short ones such as Taylor and Ibanez acoustics. I still use long scale basses but must admit I’m finding the shorties that bit more comfortable these days.

    I like a nice bit of Sapele. Those bodies are looking good.

    I certainly do gig with one, I find the string to string balance and thickness of the notes high up really useful. The Fallout is a pretty versatile bass....I don't sound that different whatever bass I play, for better or worse, after all these years.

    I'm selling this Eden EX210 300watt 4 ohm speaker cabinet in good condition. It's not as hifi as the D series but it's very portable and gives you all the clout needed for a lot of gigs. Includes press on castors (never used as it's small and light 20kg) and manual should you want it. Full spec here: https://www.edenamps.com/product/ex210/ Collection from East Finchley London N2, now £125.

    Here ya go Post a pic of the body, better still start a thread in the build diaries

    Nice Post... I likes an oil finnish. Satisfying to apply without that spray faff There is a most splendid post on the very same by our @Andyjr1515 I'll do a search and link it. First couple i did was Screw Fix Danish Oil. Can stay quite tacky. Tru-Oil is much easier to apply, less mess, and you can apply a bit if wax after, gives a much better feel. This body mod 'n oil on this SR300 thanks to @Andyjr1515 And an SR500 i did with Tru-Oil applied with one of those green scourers. Oh, and a Harley Benton... You get the idea...
  16. Franticsmurf started following Does anyone gig with a shortscale? and Semi Hollow acoustic Bass / choices
  17. Franticsmurf
    Ibanez AGB200 or the tastefully reliced AGBR200. They are short scale basses but very nice to play and a lovely 'woody' sound.

    I used to gig with an Epiphone EB 3 which had awful neck dive and sounded very muddy. I've used Gretsch Electromatic which looked nice (I love the Les Paul shape) but lacked definition as well. That's moved on to a better home (my dep in the band). I have an Ibanez EHB1000s which I've used as my main bass where space is an issue, and as a back up as it's small and convenient and I can dial in a decent sound. I also gig an Ibanez AGBV200 semi acoustic. Short scale basses are easier to play for me as I have guitard sized hands, but I still prefer long scale. But if I have a tricky fast piece to record, I'll usually reach for a shorty.

    The Thunder 1 on the right sounds more like a P-bass than my Precisions do.

    I’m up against mr travis and his all-consuming GEAR maw no chance, I see that bass being dragged to a Manchester address, probably leaving scratch marks on the pavement as it is sucked in like some poor dachshund caught in a wizard of Oz style tornado Briefly. 😛 I Wish I could buy this. GLWTS
  26. Stub Mandrel
    It's not the issue he's making it out to be. The screws often lightly touch the neck pocket holes, but I've never found one where there was enough interference to stop the screws tightening properly.

    Hmmm. Interesting. That's lovely flame. I'll measure my E5LX tomorrow. This dimension that directly affects the geometery and playability of a bass is something rarely discussed (if ever).
  28. Berserker started following Separate marketplace section for EU sales?
  29. Berserker
    Just wondering if it would be an idea to have a separate section for people in the EU to sell? The marketplace section is flooded with EU sellers, and you don't know that until you click on a listing. It's a UK website, and in reality most of us in the UK probably aren't going to buy something in the EU due to customs and tax charges.

    Do a search on the make and model in the basses, amps, etc, for sale sections. The sold listings will give you an idea of what to ask to get interest. Then do listings to test the market. It takes a bit of effort but you are listing in the best market place: no fees and no time wasters.

    worst piece of kit: LEKATO In-Ear Monitor System MS-1 Bought on an impulse to test against my xvive system, and as a back up. Really flimsy, and every connection crackled on even the slightest bit of movement. Dont send many things back. I returned this.

    Cost me about £350 back in the day and was the core of my board and IEM setup for a number of years. Essentially it’s a 2 channel mixer with a DI, balanced and unbalanced out for the bass. With a 2nd input for an IEM feed, this input is switchable mono/stereo. So basically allows you to take a really great FOH signal or utter trash. I use to take a passive feed out of the back of PA speakers. There is then a thru for you to pass this feed on to other band members and I’ll include a 4 channel Behringer Headphone mixer (that currently I can’t find the 12v adaptor for) and you have an all in one IEM solution. So you have a control for the bass volume and the feed volume. Allows as I saw above to just grab anything from FOH and you’ll always be able to hear yourself. I do the same now with my Darkglass Anagram and in a pinch Element. Open to offers and as above will chuck in the Behringer 4 ch headphone amp and 2 pairs of 🤷🏻‍♂️ KS10’s (without tips for hygiene purposes) to give you a full wired simple IEM rig for those wanting to try it all out. Can also be used as a headphone amp with a Twelve South Airfly to add Bluetooth. This was made about 15 years ago so to me is noisier than I would like and the pots can be a bit crackly, but I’ve never sprayed any switch spray in there. Just part of my never ending clearout.

    I thought I'd share my bridge/body measurements as I have a Korean Skyler Acord model (love it!) and I really appreciate that the neck is further in on the body than most other 35" scale Spectors I've seen. Though it's a tougher reach to the highest frets past the horn, I don't use those very often and the rest of neck is easier to get to for me.
  34. Obrienp
    Yes. I gig a Guild Starfire 1 and a custom made shorty in one band. I also gigged my Acinonyx quite frequently. In my other band I use a Maruszczyk Elwood medium scale and either a Greco P/J, or Hartwood Satellite medium scales. I also have a U5 fretless that I want to gig, given the chance 🤞. I only have one full scale bass these days but never gig it.
