  1. Past hour
  2. You may have something there. My Sandberg is lacquered and the neck is pretty stable, more so than the 2 oil/waxed EBMM basses.
  3. The answer is always Torte! Especially if that's preceded by the words Schwarz, Walder and Kirsch...
  4. With a multimeter or continuity tester. TBH, If you don't have at least one of those you probably shouldn't be doing your own wiring as you have no way of checking what you have done wrong if it's not working properly.
  5. In One Ear - Cage the Elephant
  6. This is really hard. I want to cast a vote on them all. So many great contributions this month. I'll have to ponder more and come back and listen again to every one of them again, before giving it my final decision.
  7. Damn what a beauty
  8. Edgar Meyer's recordings of Bach's cello suites are sublime as well! I also enjoy David Friesen's modern approach, and Glen Moore's bass compositions.
  9. I'd love that pdf, if you don't mind sharing!
  10. Is this where nut width matters?
  11. I'd also point out that a higher string action will make your instrument project better and also let you dig in more. Of course, you might have a high action already... I'm sure the riser will help. When I got my first bass guitar, I haven't had an amp for a while. Practicing, sitting on my bed, I've noticed that the bass was amplified by the one-piece headboard that I pushed the bass' body onto by accident. I played in that spot all the time. 🙂
  12. Vincent - Don McLean
  13. Definitely have it professionally appraised before proceeding down any route to sell it. There's a few luthiers and sellers in the uk that are specialized and/or knowledgeable with basses.
  14. Today
  15. Lovely bass by the way. I'm on the lookout for a slim necked Spector. They have a georgous US relic'd NS2 with the thin neck at Bass Direct, but its the thick end of seven grand, which is an awful lot of money...
  16. Thats a good question. Its easy enough to take a bit of depth out of the 'shoulders' of a neck. Its also fairly straightforward to make a neck shallower from front to back as long as you have enough clearance from the underneath of the truss rod. I think though that the Wimbish ones are 1.5" wide at the nut and the standard ones are 1.61" (thats from memory so I might be wrong on the exact decimals), so that would be quite a job, reducing the width at the neck and then in turn changing the taper of the neck from where it joins the body. I'd be interested to know if anyone has had this done?
  17. this is one of those subjects that you have lost before you have even started ...everyone has their favourites ...currently listening to visions of you by jah wobble.
  18. No, It Wasn't Him - Stacy
  19. I don't have a digital caliper to measure it with such exact precision. But I imagine those specifications can be found on the Fodera website.
  20. I have the same…..it sounds realy like an Alembic…..
  21. Price Drop To £300
  22. No more wenge necks in the range, which is a shame as they were what I liked most
  23. Hi there, just wondering if you’d be open to any trades at all? If so, I’d be happy to chat through a few options. Cheers!
  24. LOOKING TO BUY / WASHBURN S1000 STATUS BASS 

    1. HeadlessBassist

      You do realise that the Washburn S1000 isn't that good, don't you? You'd be better off looking for one of the wooden necked real Status models like an Energy/Series I, Groove, Barracuda, or Eclipse. They at least have the true Status sound and build quality. There's a very nice Claret Red Groove for sale on here that used to be mine.
