    Bump for a pretty bass. GLWTS

    At best, they are a matter of personal taste and merely something to skim over and not take seriously. They also suffer from the critics trying to be pseudo-intellectual and nominating unlistenable obscure people to show off how hip they are in choosing these people. If I listed my top 5 guitarists, people would disagree. I rarely bite when topics about 'best' players come up. Favourites maybe... best what's the point?

    Ok, some more info. Good news is that the bass and case weighs 16.5kg (some idiot was reading the lbs as kg - what was me). LEDs are operated by the switch near the horn and all work. The controls are a mystery to me. I assumed VVT and Boost but they don’t conform to that. The sound is good, strings are low and the neck absolutely insanely easy to play. It’s not even all the way up the neck. I’d recommend a set up and new strings. This has been factored into the price. On quick test, there is a crackle from the jack socket, but I believe this is from lack of use as it settled. No hums or nastiness. No major damage and additional pictures below. Price remains the same. I still can’t send this and don’t want to. I sort of fell in love with it a bit when I plugged it in so I won’t be sad if it remains here. It looks really, really cool.

    The walls of Gibson and Fenders with no price tags (for legitimate price shift reasons) were off-putting to a small degree. Of course you have to have the stuff in to sell it, but then again the store has to pay for it to stock it. The major companies insistence on stores stocking whole ranges in the past has led to stores dropping the make. Going in to drool over and Elite / Deluxe megabucks P bass is all very well, but the shop had to shift them, otherwise it was just all debt and dusting. The 'starter range' gear is useful to a limited number of people and as some say, it's seemingly a decreasing market. There was so much stock that never shifted. The rise of online shopping is disappointing because there's nothing better than trying stuff then buying it. The loss of PMT means Manchester doesn't have a lot of options left for buyers.

    I didn't know any details, but I know Lee is a good person so happy to help. Hope circumstances improve soon, whatever they are.
  8. Reggaebass
    I know some don’t like reggae covers and I don’t like them all myself, but I quite like a few eagles songs and I’ve never heard this Particular reggae version before, I think Carlton sharpe has a great voice on this and a good band

    All the best to you Lee in these difficult times, I do hope everything works out for you John 😎

    We auditioned our new guitarist on the 2nd (playing 4 songs). Got another 6 off at the next jam night on the 9th. Rehearsed two sets worth of songs last night. Yes, we are having to go for some 'quick wins', but we are out again in July. This is one of them.

    Supply and demand, i.e. D-Rocs are readily available. The Super P is new, more traditional and has sold out immediately, thus price increases are a safe bet for retailers (as well as some of the price increase being at source of production).
  12. Crusoe
    Some goth stuff on Spotify. Started out with all of Floodland, by Sisters of Mercy then it moved on to some Cure, Damned and Echo & the Bunnymen
  13. ezbass
    Everything sounds great when done reggae style IMO. If the song was great to start with, then it’s happy days. Not sure about the aesthetics of the Dean Dimebag guitar in this setting though.

    Reduced further for a quick sale, now only £1350
  16. lemmywinks started following Why does Thomann take so long to despatch?
  17. lemmywinks
    I ordered from them on the 6th (evening though) and it was despatched the next day, just been delivered about 1hr ago. So basically 5 working days which isn't too bad.
  18. BabyBlueSound
    It's about 2mm at the 12th fret, not terribly high but physically doesn't go any lower.

    Last bump before payday on Friday..yay!
  20. Mariner72
    Hi Boss tuner still for sale? If so, what's the condition out of 10 please? Pat

    This has been partly brought on by the insistence of Fender/Gibson for stores to have entire walls of their product. Now, I like a good Fender as much as the next guy but I have no desire to see a wall of them so I never visit. Shops with a wide choice of brands, a good used section etc will always win out for me...... be they specialist stores with a wide range like Bass Direct, Gallery, BassBros etc or a more general music store with a decent range like RichTone or Andertons.

    Fun fact but I did a session on one of these around 1999/2000 with Paul Weller's old bass player producing and I always swore it was one of the best bass sounds I ever had. The old 90s Danelectro basses are really decent. GLWTS.

    It's a shame but like others have said I've barely been to the Bristol store since they move to Temple Meads as its a pain to get to. I've bought a number of bits from them over the years and they were always helpful.

    I meant to also say that I intended to drop into the Birmingham PMT at some point - they moved to just inside the CAZ from just outside it, so as we didn't have a ULEZ compliant car I didn't, and after we finally got a compliant one I never got round to going there. They did have the occasional slightly interesting instrument in there, and in fact I bought my Crafter acoustic guitar from there.
  26. tauzero
    That would be a problem for any music store, keeping 4000 Precisions and 6000 Jazzes in stock before they've even considered stocking Squiers too.
