    Thanks so much for all the info everyone, these forums are pretty quick, I didn't expect this so soon so sorry for not replying before Understandable my fear was that picking up an older Asian brand bass because I like the aesthetic might produce bad results lol but if that's the case then it's great. These were all among the cheapest in my region so it's great to know this is the case Got it. What I heard is that the shielding often isn't good so there's noise when the jazz pickup is on and this is what I saw on a Saturn review but then saw other people commenting on that in a broader sense. But if you never heard of it I assume its people who aren't fans for other reasons being nitpicky! Thanks a lot !! These are a bit more expensive around here. The GSR200 I have seen a few listings for, including a very well priced one so I asked the guy but they wouldn't deliver and I didn't want to travel to get it, lol but that was my first option. Thanks Got it, that's a term I saw floating around but didn't know what it meant. That could be what they meant indeed. Do you think that's what I should be looking for for the genres I want to play ? Thanks

    Well not sure what to write really 🤔 .. bought some strings off Tom, they didn’t arrive (Tom showed proof of sending via Royal Mail) then RM sent note saying insufficient payment, apparently they see package as small parcel .. Tom paid the extra though was a pissed with RM coz he’d sent similar before with no issue .. unfortunately when package did arrive it was empty Tom seemed more pissed (understandable) & feels ‘fleeced’ & says ‘he doesn’t know who to trust’ .. which kinda implies I might have taken them or something .. I asked him if he could ask RM about this .. his response unfortunately was to ‘leave the conversation’ hence my reaction is to write this feedback I’ve been a member on here for 18 years, never had bad feedback etc .. Looks like we’ve both lost out but I would expect at least a bit of courtesy shown …

    I don't really know how to describe this one... can be a preamp, DI, Fuzz, Drive or EQ with a particular flavour of it's own. Great condition, Price includes UK Delivery.

    Given the nature of the Bird... I'd prefer collection/Delivery but well packaged and very insured postage is possible. This one has been my gateway drug, and before i knew it i've bought myself an old single pickup model. It's in mint condition, and comes with a great padded gigbag. Pretty light at 3.8 kg, and personally I haven't had an issue with neck dive as these sometimes suffer from. These are proper neck-through models like the originals. As always please hit me up with questions/photo requests! .

    Here the tradition is to wear the wedding ring on the right hand. This happens to be the hand that (in my case) plucks the strings - excite them, you may say - so the ring dont cause troubles. Maybe a coincidence, but we also drive the right side of the road.

    I've never had a problem playing with a ring on.

    Those unevenly spaced tuners on the bridge are driving me mad...

    Thelema Instruments website at thelema-instruments.de no longer exists. However, it's on the Wayback Machine and the Antbass is a different kettle of fish. https://web.archive.org/web/20131207080247/http://thelema-instruments.de/antbass.html So the original question still stands.

    so I went down a rabbit hole. Got my multimeter out and tested the Bart’s and the original pickups. barts are 8.67k (ceramic) and originals are 9.39k(alnico). My squirer pbass is 7.7k (ceramic but not in the league of Bart’s at all) when I got my bass from Bassbros I took it to a local Luthier to look at. He worked or learnt at Monty’s guitars. He told me don’t change the original pickups as they are great sounding. I was after the paul jackson sound so I did lol.

    Wish I was closer as I feel like getting my first "traditional" type bass! Sadly very far away!

    I'd seriously love to relieve you of the burden of bumping this, but now is definitely the wrong time for me to be weighing out for this. I'll keep coming back to it just to torture myself though. Somebody buy it - please!

    My daughter has decided that she needs a bigger guitar. She has been using this one for nigh on 8 years and it has done sterling service. We did not buy it new, so I am not entirely sure of specs, but the internet is strongly suggesting the following - and I have no reason not to believe it Solid Engelmann Spruce Top Solid Rosewood Back Solid Flamed Maple Binding 5mm Abalone with Fibre Border Rosette Mahogany Neck Grover Rotomatic Gold Machineheads 2 Way Truss Rod Shadow Performer Tuner Preamp / Shadow Nanoflex Pickup Hardcase Included. The present model goes for a grand-ish. But it has a little cutaway for the widdlers in our midst. OK, ok, for the people who like different chord voicings. It is a lovely guitar, but she is not about to start a guitar collection (who would do such a thing?). So it is one in, one out. Especially as I will be fully involved in augmenting the purchase price of the next one. I think the asking price is fair and I will not be motivated to bring it down. There are one or two dings photgraphed with flash for clarity. They are not that obvious away from the flash. These are reflected in my valuation. Any cheaper and I will keep it myself. To add to my collection. Don't judge me. Let us split insured shipping costs like grown ups.

    I’m the same. Don’t do any jewellery at all, and haven’t worn a watch since leaving my day job 33 years ago! Incidentally, after reading how many people do wear rings on here, has anyone ever damaged the neck or other parts of their basses due to them? Must admit I’ve never seen anything that resembled this when buying s/h instruments.
