  5. Silky999
    A car place would need the body only so you would have to take the bass apart. It’s also depends what type of finish you would want. A car sprayer would probably use 2k type paint, so paint and a hardener. It’s quicker to apply and also doesn’t need cure off for as long before polishing in the same way nitrocellulose or 1k poly would. 2k is also quite toxic hence they should use proper air fed respirators and decent extraction. They may not do nitrocellulose if that’s what you wanted. So from a luthier perspective, you are looking at stripping the bass to body, taking any existing clear coat off, prepping the colour already on, priming, new colour then clear coat, cure, polish, reassembly and set up. As a rough estimate, I allow poly clear coat 7-14 days to cure and nitro 14-30 days before polishing. Poly consumables - £140-215 Nitro consumables- £150-260 Total Polyurethane Refinish: £350 – £450 (Primer, colour, poly clear, materials, and labour included.) Nitrocellulose Refinish: £400 – £550 (More coats, more labour, longer cure — hence the higher price.) I hope that helps.

    Ibanez SR500 in Brown Mahogany. Lovely thin neck as you'd expect from an Ibby.. No major dings that I can see other than some buckle rash on the back. Currently strung with flats but can supply with round wounds if required. Currently offering with collection only but I could sell this in a brand new Ibanez MB300C fitted hardcase for an extra £90 if you were prepared to organise your own courier.

    Holy Forever and Make Room are particularly favourites of mine! We did "Mary did you know?" as a choir piece last Christmas and I used the Moog Little Phatty for that one. We're also doing "Angels we have heard on high" modelled on the Planetshakers live version which is a cracking Christmas song!

    Thanks for these. The singer is female and was in my main band for 11 years. Her voice is less suited to female sung numbers but we just down tubed where we had to. Guitar player is the drummer in said band but he’s decent on guitar and proficient on banjo !

    Sire P7

    Davy posted a topic in Basses For Sale

    Sire P7 Antique White. These basses are great value for the money with features you'd expect from a much more expensive basses. The previous owner replaced the original knobs with chunkier versions and lightly sanded the neck so it now has a nice satin feel to it. Collection preferred but I could possibly source some packing materials if you're prepared to arrange your own courier.

    You didn't say if your singer is male or female, or if your guitarist is rhythm or lead or both. These are maybe less well known and probably work best for female leads.

    It's an option to consider if a luthier proves too expensive, but I initially want to explore the lazy, one-stop-shop option, of handing the entire instrument to one person.

    Another short solo bass piece from Jorge Roeder's 'El Suelo Mio' album. The tune us called 'Bounce'. It's a choppy little number and will test the best of us, even if the reading is not massively taxing in itself. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/bounce-jorge-roeder/
