Now that these are a bit more freely available I picked one up a couple of weeks ago, and my impressions so far are kind of what I expected… it’s fine at what it does. To get some synthy sounds for a non synth playing bass player it’s probably the best compromise I’ve tried between form factor, quality of sounds, tracking, ease of use. Does it sound or track way better than a Future Impact (or any other solution I’ve tried)? I’d say no, but it’s a lot less fugly, and more fun to twiddle with than having to fire up an editor. Definitely feels a bit Emperor’s new clothes to me though, I’ll not be ditching the real synths for this.

Stripped like this? I left mine plain. That DiMarzio in that position is great for fretless sound -

Bought this 4003S ltd edition new from my local music shop in Morecambe last year. 2025 model and the Satin Autumn Glo is a UK/Europe only version. Recent purchase of a Custom Shop P Bass necessitates sale... I would grade this basically "as new"... fitted with Pyramid flats and set up by Promenade Music, I have played it for less than an hour. Priced at £2375 Comes with everything as new including hard case, original unused strings and I also bought some Tone/Volume marked knobs from Ricky Sounds which will come with it and these are shown in one of the photos, but it wears its original cooker knobs. Collection preferred from Morecambe or could meet Carlisle to Manchester M6 corridor. Happy to use a courier at buyer cost. Thanks-

Hey Guys, A strict “one in, one out” rule has been instigated with an incoming purchase, so I’m offering up my Squier CV 60’s jazz that I’ve had for just under a year. This is the much sought after Chinese made model that was released in the late 2000’s. When I got this bass, the electronics were not working correctly. I took it to Mark at Witls Guitar Repair and he replaced the standard stock pots with 250k CTS audio pots and orange drop capacitor. This brought the bass back to life with a much more responsive curve on the tone control and just overall more authentic jazz bass sound. Whilst he had it, he switched out the stock brass bridge and fitted a Fender Hi-Mass bridge. Aside from that, the bass is still in great condition for its age and is set up with a nice low action for that grindy Geddy Lee jazz bass tone! Here’s a video of it in action: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQKMooxjDMs/?igsh=ODdycDdqczA3OHVw I’m after £400. Unfortunately, I don’t currently have any means of posting it, so the buyer would have source that and cover the cost themselves. Otherwise, this is primarily a collection only from Bridgwater, Somerset. I can also meet up/deliver within a certain radius. I would potentially be open for a trade for either a Gallien Krueger 1001 RB head or EBS Neo 2x12/4/10 cabinet. Any questions please get in contact. Thanks, Josh.

Playing this polarising bass for two years now, here's a short review. My first impression was to hold a very sturdy built and looking bass. Fit and Finish were flawless. The action straight out of the box was high, neck had a slight backbow, but as I wanted to change strings anyway, a few little tweaks were not unexpected and no real issue. There are Thomastik flats on now. Although these strings are known for having low tension, the bass plays beautifully with a neck relief of 0,2mm and 2mm Action at the 17th fret (I've a lighter touch,so this might be not for all). So very good fretwork here. The neck is very stabil. Over time we had a humidity range from 40 -80%, and there was no need to adjust the trussrod yet. It's a medium sized neck with 22mm at 1st and 24,5 at 12th fret. This might sound a lot but it feels really nice. The tuners are good. No complains here in regard of staying in tune, but they are heavy and so they increase the neck dive, that can't be denied. The pots are not just on and off switches, they react to every slight turn. You might get heavy Rock sounds as well as motown without getting muddy. After two years now without being biased of the impression of a new aquisition, the o bass is my actual number one. The overall look of it might be not everyone' s cup of tea, but as I always loved Les Paul basses, the o bass is a GAS killer to me

Anyone needing a fat fingers mod, you can get these from thonk and they work great. You can either honour the original colour scheme or go rogue, your choice!

HX Stomp XL up for grabs. Boxed and in good condition bar a couple of minor scuffs. Non-original power supply. Obviously it’s a fantastic pedal, loads of effects, amp sims and IRs, but I've hardly used it since I got it secondhand last year: just takes up too much board space. So would prefer a straight swap for a Stomp, but open to a sale if no one’s got a Stomp gathering dust… Location is Midlothian and happy to meet up within a reasonable distance, or will post. -

Dramatic title but it's got your attention. Now these strings are not cheap and I have put a set on a StingRay special. I have EB cobalt flats on another Ray and Elixir nickel plated steels on another Ray and they sound amazing. I am really struggling with the DRs as they feel horrible on my fingers and against the fretboard and don't sound brilliant. To the point I don't even want to pick it up and play it. So my question is, should I bite the bullet and get rid or should I give them time to bed in? Will they get better in time? Anyone else had experience with these strings?

Music goes in cycles, loud guitars for a while, then pop with just singers for a while, then solo performers for a while, whatever the "in thing" is. I reckon we`re due some scallys with guitars again soon.

Alpher Custom Build, Did I get my Spec Right?
Hazza2004 replied to Hazza2004's topic in Bass Guitars
Im doing functions and a good amount of working gigs (mostly with my ultra 5 string jazz) but also have my own sort of Nu Jazz Quartet (Bass, Guitar, Sax, Drums) which this build is primarily for, I have to cover a fair amount of ground harmonically (especially during guitar solos) and am tired of switching B-G to E-C on my Jazz for gigs, rehearsals, recording etc. hence the need for a specialised E-C 5 string. I have played a few 33 scale basses and I have enjoyed them (a couple of my friends have their own custom basses for a similar purpose) and I like the slight bit of extra warmth you get on the High C. For me, im looking at the woods mostly from a structural/aesthetic point of view and have switched my spec to a thinline sapele body just to add a bit more personality to the bass. -
Are you interested in any trades?

I've got one of these, which has some cosmetic issues (someone's stripped it, badly, and undercoated it in white without bothering to tidy up the scratches first). But it sounds fabulous
