    It’s a great bass had since they first came out , but I bought an Atelier z 4 string and it has become the only bass I’m paying now . Thanks for the comments guys

    It's an earthing copper strip between the pickup cavity and the underside of the bridge. They had it on a lot of the early Jazzes to reduce 60 cycle hum from lighting circuits, etc.

    I’d certainly bring a car full, if this gets traction then I’ll put a current inventory of my gear up closer to the time. That way if there’s something of specific interest to anyone attending I can make sure I bring it along….

    Mmmm...... Did you use this to get your Zeller and Kolstein to sound more like their acoustic selves when amplified, or to make your Ali-Kat sound more like the other two?

    I’ve seen this on a few jazzes now but still none the wiser… what’s the line from the bridge, to the bridge pickup for?

    Is the whole bass an AI mockup or just the pickups? I love the look of that!
  13. Obrienp
    You guys are making me feel even older! 70 this year and I don’t remember whether we had Vim in Oz back then. Probably had another name if we did.

    Those are now sold out but I have ordered something similar for £33🤞

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286816725917 Knockoff Bongo? Or homemade? Listed by a charity so I'm assuming naivety rather than a scam.

    The neck pickup being that close to the fretboard would be a bit muddy. Better to have the additional pickup near the bridge to approximate jazz spacing. Imo obviously
  22. Jack started following NBD - Shuker JJ Burnel Zenith (50th Anniversary Limited Edition)

    I thought these were all sold, or was that the carbon fibre ones? How's the neck dive if its so light? ...asking for a friend...

    I love all the masterbilts.
  26. HeadlessBassist started following Sterling ray 34 history
  27. HeadlessBassist
    I had one of the early Ray34 models back around 2009(?) It was pretty good all in all, but the early pickups only did a 'fair' impression of the MM sound. I sold it on quite quickly when I got a proper natural SR4 with the Piezo bridge, and later a Stingray 5 from Nick Smith. I must say, some of the current ones around £12-1400 look lovely, particularly in the Spalted Maple Blood Orange Burst finish. Haven't tried one in a long time, though.

    Just picked this up, thanks I havent really pushed it to be honest but will give that a try
  33. dmckee
    Yeah, I’m about to retire (from work, not playing bass!) and thinking of buying it. 🤔😂
  34. Pinball
    Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. A Beautiful bass bought from here in 24, with a great sound, which I am just not using much. It is the real deal with gorgeous looks and construction in my honest opinion. Someone out there will love it. It is also loud enough to practice with without an amp IMHO! Happy to post as it comes with a generic hard case that fits archtop basses "The Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollow Body Short Scale bass guitar has a comfortably short scale at 30.25", and is armed with two powerful "Black Top" Filter'Tron™ bass pickups, giving it an electrifying deep-end voice and identity. The double-cutaway hollow and bound body offers full bass tone and balance, and is finished in Transparent Red." Note: I have been asked about neck dive, just in case you are worried about that this is my answer. "I can't say that it has bothered me,. Being an true hollow body/archtop It is very light and hangs horizontally, but it feels normal to rest my right arm on the body, which pushes the neck upwards to a comfortable, natural playing position. It also feels good sitting down. I imagine that the longer scale Gretsch hollows may have serious neck dive". G5442BDC Spec sheet.pdf
