    Exactly what I was going to suggest.

    If you want a p bass then get a jp...what you want and a bit more.

    I have two of these: https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/product.php?product_id=G705100&source=froogle&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnP-ZBhDiARIsAH3FSRf1kuQi_EKtRehx4xVqCzHbA-pVUukMGFC3c2KKZd6S1Lu1PU6YuToaAroAEALw_wcB So happy with them that I just store basses in them. My go to case is a Body Glove which fits most of my basses. I couldn't find a photo online. I did find this which looks like good vfm at £31 https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_elite_gigbag_ebass.htm

    Hope this helps

    My Psilos bass has a fretboard level with the body. As a result it's more difficult to get that traditional slap tone as the strings don't hit the fretboard in the same way as a stepped neck. We're not too far apart if you want a closer look. I'll see what the photos show.

    " owned by a professional who looked after it..." Too ashamed to take it out more like. I'm having problems finding any redeeming features TBH. Make your own mind up...

    Volume issue on the bridge pickup so a call to Martin Herrick was a necessity. Just sorting out the details.

    I went through a stage of buying these, TBH I think that the colour has little bearing on the tonal quality of the strings.

    Lovely looking Bass...I'd be tempted to buy it if I saw it. Now I know....

    My kawai f2b has kawai only sealed units which are a weird size. These look like standard p pickups but it might be worth checking.

    I love shopping... If I bought this I'd have the perfect excuse to go shopping for a new scratchplate - only Stevie Wonder could find a blue bass with a red tort acceptable..🤮🤮🤮

    For cynical b'stards like me, it's good to see that there are still good people in the world. Hope that the build goes well...🙏

    It would be against the rules to post this in the weird and wonderful thread (not from ebay) and I couldn’t find what was the "Jap crap" thread so having to start a new one. Seller has a number of doubtful items which you probably wouldn't want. This is possibly the pick of his collection. A Maya Rick copy which he acknowledges has been played with. Not cheap...

    Looks like somebody used up all the bits in their parts box

    I have a Caline PS which I rarely use but wouldn't part with. I think I paid a tenner.

    You'd think that after a while you've seen most everything - never seen one of these before. At £100 (currently) it would be a steal but I expect the price to go through the ceiling. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185595584295?mkevt=1&mkpid=2&emsid=e90001.m2368.l2649&plmtId=700009&mesgId=3041&mkcid=8&ch=osgood&bu=43851974399&trkId=355825b6-7429-45f5-a668-3cf236bd9335&cnvId=700003&recoId=185595584295&recoPos=1

    Everybody should have at least one "real " Trace Elliot....and I don't mean an Elf!!

    The head's name is confusing. It's 450watts - the 2x10W refers to the 2x10 drivers in a wedge cab.
  20. TheGreek
    Can confirm that this is a monster cab. The ergonomics and design are well ahead of anything else out there. Loads of interest in the heads, no idea why this wasn't snapped up ages ago. One of the best cabs on sale here for sure. Far too cheap IMO.

    I sold one of these recently. Amazing Amps...if you don't need to move them they're everything you could ever want. I maintain that gear hasn't got better...it's just got lighter. GLWTS

    I have the same issue with my Yamaha TRB 5ii ...I'm using reflective tape on the top edge on the fret line. Not ideal but it'll have to do till I can fund a visit to my local luthier. Beautiful bass, hope you don't regret selling.

    Just learned about the connection between sound and science. Lots of video footage on the subject.

    5 String Advice?

    TheGreek replied to Grouse's topic in Basses

    My first few ventures into 5ers resulted in playing lots of bum notes with my right hand. Affected my confidence so they all got moved on. It wasn't till I started playing with a floating thumb technique that I overcame the problem. Lots of videos on YT but Scott Devine and Mark Smith both have videos on their sites.

    I tend to push them up - gives a phatter tone
