A Chinese made Roasted Jazz neck alone would cost you more than that. To be able to get a hand stained natural Ash jazz for that is just giving them away. It's the old adage of 'stack em high, sell em cheap'. Even if the pickups are hot garbage, you can replace them with some nice Fender Pure Vintage 66s for just over £100, thusly more than doubling the value of the bass, he said.

If you look at the specs, it's a cheap laminate ply bass. Strings will probably be utterly terrible and watch out for the tail wire explosively failing. Those are the good parts it'll be missing. Guaranteed. Fazley are the same people that sell brand new higher-tier Precision-style basses for about £140 brand new.

Ah ha, it was you who suggested the side by side set up. You, Sir, are a genius! It worked a treat!

Forgive my ignorance of these matters, but I am curious about double basses. I have always assumed the 3/4 is the one to get. Even though the 3/4 is more money on this site, they are offering a 10% discount too, and free delivery. So once it's in the basket, and the code applied, the total price is just £428.40. This seems outrageously cheap for a 3/4 double bass. What am I missing, is it made of matchwood? Thanks, Rob

Things such as this are often lauded as absolute bargains etc... yet nobody pulled the trigger and it is relisted. LOL From the lack of bids (zero), it clearly isn't a bargain and needs to be cheaper; how much cheaper will dictate its true 'value' but not a bargain if absolutely nobody is prepared to drive to Bristol to buy it..

Anyone received the BigMuff 2 yet? Can you give us a quick review?

Maybe the HD thing was not a good analogy. As I said in my original post, I know nothing about motorbikes, so I defer to your obviously superior knowledge. Mea culpa. That notwithstanding, this is still a great rig for a very good price.

Have a look too in the for sale section on here 👍

Thanks. Yes I was having a look at the Markbass cabs. They are a bit out of my current bass gear budget sadly, though will still keep them in mind if I can find the extra ££. I will certainly take another look at the Fender Rumble gear. 😎

Can we get a quick review of the Big Muff 2. I'm still waiting for mine here in the UK.

Thanks for that. I guess that if they knew there was an issue with the old tweeters then the replacements would be in the new cabs!

Well there you go, that perfectly demonstrates 'One man's meat...'! LOL I keep the finger nails on my right/picking hand at a length whereby I can use them to affect the sound but not so long that I can't change my position and use the flesh. Sometimes I also play the string below the one I am playing almost percussively with Ghost notes (I'd never analysed or even thought about it till someone asked me how I do it), a DB technique in a way; some tutors would find this an anathema to 'proper' bass playing but it works for me.

We bought my daughter a HB copy of a PRS guitar last year and its great. She was loaned a budget PRS (double the price of the HB) for a few months and preferred the HB. The only issue with it was the neck was really dry when it arrived but a couple applications of lemon oil and it was sorted.

Thanks. I have reached the stage in life when I have realised it is better to actualy get the facts rather than guess. I now have the facts.

You may have an idea of how you sound, but a looper is very good tool to reveal details from your playing. Instant playback, cheap units are really cheap.
