    Possibly related to the body thickness before and after? Would that not alter one of the resonant frequencies of the body?

    Went for £490.

    Nice! I particularly like the way the tort scratchplate makes it seem to be sunburst without actually being GLWYS!

    That's sort of a telebass Yamaha BB, only more so...

    IMO the major use of a 5 is to make playing easier (two octaves almost under the hand). So I disagree; because making it easier to play means that the players can make music more easily.

    Wow...

    Firstborn child, probably.

    Got to be "scratchplate". "Pickguard" is both harder to say and harder to type, and therefore is officially Silly.

    The Sinsonido is a nice bit of kit, IMO. Good to travel with, makes a noise all its own. Sadly they never made a five-string.

    I'm tempted to nab it and get it defretted. But since I'm probably going to be laid off next week, that doesn't seem wise, somehow Good luck with your sale!

    I was thinking of the Cherrystone. I did find the Sandalwood up on eBay, but it obviously wasn't the same. Possibly it's just really light? Some people might think that was enough, perhaps?

    Couldn't find one on eBay. I'll keep my eyes open. Possible they're not made any more though.

    I like it. Just so long as it's not in the same room as me. :reaches for garlic, stake and crucifix:

    These or something extremely similar pop up on eBay now and again, new I think. I can't remember the price or the name. (Helpful, me.) Possibly the bouts are dismountable for travel? Don't remember this as a listed feature though. Possibly someone tried to work out what it was and saw pics of an Aria Sinsonido (dismountable wire bouts with foam padding) and thought "Oh that's it"...

    Moved jobs since then, but yeah, collection would be a snip. Ah well. Sorry

    Nice! If I didn't have a BEX-4 I'd be after this. I do like that white lining in the F-holes, very elegant
  17. alyctes
    Lovely :) Thanks!

    Erm, "no income" is not a first-world problem! Good luck with your sale!

    I like these, but 38" is too long for my 34" basses GLWYS!

    Bloody hell. From bitter experience, I know that cracking in the hard outer shell of the luthite body acts as a weakness and makes the lower horn very fragile. And the upper horn too, I have no doubt. Avoid like the plague.
  21. alyctes
    Saw that. Not pretty, is it.
  22. alyctes
    Somebody demoing a Vox Standard. YouTube video. A pro, way better than I'll ever be.
  23. alyctes
    No bids. Worth keeping an eye on.
  24. alyctes
    Social distancing by having a bloody great cab next to you. A system we can all applaud

    I think that's more mauve than lavender? Purple, anyway. (Disclaimer: I have no idea what Sandberg calls that colour )
