  1. Probably worth changing the thread title. Somebody out there will be "I've been looking for years... !".
  2. Welcome DiMarco Forum mod is indeed thankless. I did it for a while (not here) and it's no fun at all.
  3. Nice
  4. The pics display at larger size if you click them. Even better, they go back to their previous size if you click them again (I'm a tester, I test stuff...)
  5. I read that as "strings", and wasn't entirely surprised.
  6. Started on fours, moved to fives, went back to fours because I wasn't doing anything sensible on the low string. I went fretless last year, and I'm now moving back to fives.
  7. Kudos on naming the strings. How many times have I wondered "what's on this then?"...
  8. I like his stuff. But I seldom mention players.
  9. Steeleye Span.
  10. Ah, I knew I'd seen it before. If it is the same guy (and I'd be surprised if it wasn't) the Stagg EUB I bought off him was fine, no issues.
  11. I could walk there in half an hour. In fact I think I might have dealt with this guy before. But I don't need any more fours. Honest.
  12. Good deal, by the look of it. Collect-only. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Squier-Jazz-Bass-fretless-guitar/322899766666?hash=item4b2e536d8a:g:bAoAAOSwc~laFsc-
  13. I can't get on with the necks. I've tried, and tried again. Ah well, someone else's gain...
  14. Thanks Mick. I'll add the guy to my "never" list.
  15. In a few years "retro" will mean "painted in a single solid opaque colour"...
  16. Thank goodness it's a four...
  17. I guess the other thing is, most bass players don't hear themselves. I didn't like it much when I first heard myself recorded...
  18. There's a sudden rash of stuff I know nothing about on eBay, it seems. Jerry Bix fretless. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jerry-Bix-Custom-Fretless-Bass/132404525906?hash=item1ed3ecbb52:g:xTAAAOSw63FaEYM2
  19. I think I'd like it better in black, but that still wouldn't make me pick the thing up, never mind buy it... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MB-Guitars-headless-short-scale-aktiv-handmade-Bass-v-1980-unikat-u-vintage/292337330980?hash=item4410a9ab24:g:5L4AAOSwQcJaEaMf
  20. Looks as if the body bouts are easily changed? Not much use if you haven't got anything to replace them with, but... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RKS-5-String-Bass-A-Thing-of-Beauty/172988792662?hash=item2846ef7f56:g:zggAAOSw43haEbMG
  21. What I've heard is that they are decent enough at the price point. Can't remember where or who from though.
  22. Yeah. Especially if it sounds monstrous. The only reason I haven't got one is the neck dive.
