  1. Past hour
  2. Do they make a SS set? Coated round wounds could well be a good shout though as it would potentially increase the life span! Thanks
  3. I don't know who originally made it but I've had it a couple of years and added a Thunderbird neck. It's had a Rickenbacker 5 string pickup, so will need re-routing for another shape. Has a KiOgan wiring loom and the cavities have copper conductive tape. Paint job - not good - Halfords finest put on too quickly and not sanded down. Top is finished with a vinyl wrap (which doesn't hide the paint inconsistencies underneath). Great if you want that 'Rat' look.

  4. I'm going to throw this up as a quick feeler, I'll grab decent pictures of it when I get a minute. Neural DSP Quad Cortex, you know what it is! In great condition, couple of tiny cosmetic marks here and there but screen has had a protective cover on since purchase. Comes boxed with it's power supply and USB lead. Will be restored to factory and toppers removed on shipment. Cheers!
  5. I do remember this TV shows. They were great You may need a larger piece of paper for yours 🙄
  6. Aria Pro II Cliff Burton Signature Bass SB-CLB.
  7. Is this still for sale?
  8. Sorry, not my cup of Earl Grey, but thanks for sharing. I do like listening to new bands 👍.
  9. It's funny you say that, because the other day I watching some footage of MK/Level 42 where he was playing a King bass with what looked like the Parametrix EQ on it and it sounded like an Alembic. It had that extended, glassy top-end and super-deep punch you associate with a full-spec Alembic. It made me wish Status were still making graphite basses so I could buy another one. For me, MK's first solo album, Influences, is his best work. I remember when it came out in the summer of 1984. It really shows what he can do, and that his talents go well beyond the slap show pony tricks that really don't appeal to me. Tracks like Clocks Go Forward and the title track show the depth and subtleties of his style, and the slapping is super,-tight and appropriate where he uses it. Everything on that album sounds good to me.
  10. Yes, I was quite impressed to see their UK range
  11. No, simply an optical illusion I've tried a few multiscale basses, all really nice stuff, but I'm not sure that the fanned frets really makes enough of a difference to me at least. The physics behind it all makes perfect sense, but when it comes to actually just playing, I'm not sure it worth all the hassle. Being a bit of a short arse, and having played a 36" bass for a few years, I just prefer to be able to play without having to worry about the impact on my body. 31.5" just fits me perfectly with no real compromises. The low B at 31.5" works great with good strings, helped massively by luthier voodoo from Alan at AC Guitars, and everything above that seems all the better for the shorter scale. It has the weight and added low end you get from a short scale, with a bit more clarity and definition, and the G and C strings are super sweet and full sounding. Can you tell I love it?
  12. Conveniently enough, it's also the 50th anniversary of the Corvette Stingray. Missed a trick there.
  13. If the thickness of the base impedes setting a low action, a card shim at the back of the neck pocket should help. Assuming a bolt-on neck of course!
  14. No rehearsals in sight for the Glam band. Last gig Hogmanay and next one end Feb. Gonna be a bit rusty. Only 11 gigs booked this year compared to 24 last year. On the lookout for something new/else to get out and gig more but its finding something i enjoy and that will fit in around the Glam band. A few have come up but they want a full time bassist. Dave
  15. I had no idea Bunde (can't do umlauts on this keyboard, unfortunately) was German for fret. I used to live near the town called Bunde in the eastern region of NRW, back in the day. Anyway, bass looks great, good luck with the sale!
  16. It could just be a bit of an illusion, but is the Sona slightly multiscale?
  17. Looks like it a has a mid para EQ with is great news if it does. I have a couple of mid settings on my Microbass 3 that I use for different things. Would be great to have these programmed in.
