Uh-huh. The bestest.

Indeed, but it's not up to the quality of sound of an original and I've owned each and every model (fretted, fretless, 4 and 5 in all iterations) along the years. 😉

Like new, because it is new. I bought it from Thomann about 6 weeks ago to use in my solo bass set up. It spent a lot of the 6 weeks in its box. I've decided to revert to using a MacBook-based system. It's an incredibly powerful little gizmo, offering you the ability to create the pedalboard of your dreams. I believe some of the earlier models suffered from background noise. This though, is totally silent in that regard. It comes with the all the original packaging, cables, power supply and the case. -

Only bought this a couple of weeks ago from another Basschat member, given it a run out at a couple of rehearsals but just isn’t my kind of sound so I’m listing it back up for what I paid for it. Rat based distortion with bass and treble eq controls, can do the lower gain thing but really shows what it can do at higher gain sounds. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers! -

The newer versions put out in more recent years are hard to find as well.

Neck fit is getting closer - this is all hand tools shaping so it can't be rushed. Looking a bit rasp-rough at the moment ... but lots more wood to come off still. One issue that has been highlighted is how bodged the previous neck re-glue was and how 'out' the original neck pocket was built. I wondered why the neck appeared to have been glued in without being fully seated in the pocket = in other words glued to the sides but not even touching in a lot of the bottom of the pocket. Well that would appear to have been a bodged attempt to face the neck properly down the centre line of the body. with the new neck properly seated and its mating face at exactly 90 degrees in all directions the neck and the fingerboard (strapped on with tape for the test) point way too far over to the bass side f hole. The whole neck pocket must be out of true with the centre line. The solution is to plane and use a cabinet scraper to deliberately take the back of the heel down on one side - thus pointing the neck/fingerboard once more along the centre line. For those into tools - the lion's share of the wood stock removal on this project has been done with the 'rip' side of a 250mm Japanese Ryoba hand saw. I really can't speak highly enough about how good these saws are. Maple is hard = and a bitch to hand saw - but not with one of these. The Ryoba cuts like a sharp breadknife through a fresh sourdough loaf ... so satisfying. -
I play mostly in Church bands. Currently my main bass is a dingwall d-roc and I'm just trading a fender P in to get a Dingwall NG3. Play mostly DI into PA systems but also have an Aguilar Toneahammer and SL cab.

That said, the original Ibanez Affirma (AFR) designed by the late Rolph Spuler is becoming rarer these days.
-
I’ve owned 2 USA Fender Ps and a Jazz, all sold and currently have a Mex P. I can’t tell the difference except the neck is on the Mex P is more like a Jazz. I like them but I don’t think they are particularly different to other basses.

Use an octaver and play it on your regular bass.

Last summer I saw a garage sales. There was this pearl white Charvel. Beaten, 3 strings, dirty. If I was into 80's hair metal, that would have been it: cleaning, new strings, and lots of playing. The price was something like under £100, but it wasn't for me. Some 15 years ago I saw a pearl white (what?) Ibanez that was also beaten and dirty, but as I do not like white colour (although the fretboard was rosewood), I left it to the shop. £120 or so. Both would have been good instruments with some care (cleaning, setup, strings). Try to find one now, doable, but the prices are crazy.

Let me fix that for you

You and @Jack are gentlemen with impeccable taste.

I'm not sure it's going to work. Their new material is written in drop G. I can't get my 5 string that low without the first seven frets on the bottom string all sounding the same. I think it needs an extra long multiscale and I'm not sure I want to invest £1000+ in a Spector Dimension or Dingwall (cheaper multiscales are a bit shorter) without knowing it'll work out.

I choose what bass I play 🙂 Jazz bass compared to p-bass? Just crank the gain a bit and enjoy the versatility.

Do that blind test with similar strings and come back to tell us your findings.

I would have gladly but the order went from “available in 2-5 days” to “in stock within 10-13 weeks”, so I’ve cancelled it. They also decreased the price as soon as they went out of stock. Seems like the dirty tactics are still rife almost ten years since I got out! I might order elsewhere at a later date, but for now I’ve just used my discount on an alternative set. -

My formative music years began in the early 70s, through Radio1 and Top of The Pops. I personally think the quality of the ‘pop’ music (i.e. 45s heard on the radio and seen on a Thursday night on the telly) were as high as in any era. Many years later artists like Bowie, Roxy, Mott the Hoople etc. are viewed as seminal and influential acts, but to me and my mates at the time, they were the just some of the pop stars of the day. Other than Slade Alive and the first Roxy album, all I’d heard at that point were singles. So there’d be the aforementioned, along with the likes of Alice Cooper, T Rex, Sweet, The Faces regularly appearing on the telly on a Thursday evening. It was all we knew, so felt the norm. And then it would be discussed next day at school, in some detail! This is not to denigrate or dismiss other eras (and most folk probably feel their generation was/is the best) but I feel blessed that I grew up when I did, for many reasons, but especially for my first steps into music. That’s a long-winded way of saying “I agree”!
