    Stevie Wonder would say that's a nice looking bass...

    Learnt yesterday that the pronunciation is Sa-pea-lay... Goes without saying but I will anyway...good work Andrew...

    From my experience the most popular geeetars amongst geetards are Strats and LP style geeetars. Just been looking through the Marketplace and there seems to be a few Telecasters and/or parts thereof available suggesting Teles have a following. I have a Tele with Bigsby which I don't use but love the look of.... So what is the favoured skinny stringed weapon of choice amongst Bassists?

    I think that you may well be... Big case of Sellers remorse coming

    Probably not a winner but it seems to satisfy the title of the thread

    Here???

    Correct me if I'm wrong (happened once before), but isn't the pronunciation of the man's name "Wazz" rather than "Woz", hence the name of the band???

    From an aesthetic POV I think that the fewer materials in any build benefit the item. From this standpoint I'd go with the Wenge... Like @FDC484950 "I’m not getting into a debate about whether woods affect tone!" - even though it might upset @BigRedX.

    ...unless Che Guevara was in The Doors and nobody told me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Acoustic-Bass-GUITAR-STRAP-People-Are-Strange-The-Doors-lyrics/201005804161?hash=item2ecce12a81:g:G9cAAMXQlgtSsIWr

    Thanks...now what can I spend that on???

    I saw the HB on eBay and was tempted - I must have about 10 sets of unused strings in my parts drawer though..(thanks D'Addario and the Beta group)

    Personally I'd have the same timber from the headstock as the pick up surrounds

    I'd like a SC but would need to sell most of my gear to afford one. I could last Friday's EuroLottery win (£3.30) towards it.

    Me too...probably the only way to get Gary's from him.

    I have a Spectorcore fretless 4 in Blue - haven't seen another. Anybody??

    No longer a member of this club...sold my BBN4 11 recently...how can they build such good basses for the money??? Are "Fender" stickers expensive to produce? If not, how do they charge so much more for basses of, IMO, lesser quality?
  17. TheGreek
    Have you spoken to @Andyjr1515 about building one to your spec? Seems there's nothing on this bass that he hasn't put on a build. Fairly sure he can be competitive and as a returning customer I can tell you the build quality (check the various build threads) is up there with your high dollar builds. You can only ask...

    I had a headed 4 string - nowhere near as nice as this... I'm jealous.
  19. TheGreek
    Perfect opportunity for me to ask... I bought one of the Fender hi-mass bridges to install on my Squier Standard JP but I'm not sure whether I'm going to keep the bass (several other basses with similar configuration) so haven't installed it (yet). I was wondering how much work is involved...do the screw holes line up with those from the BBOT without any mods??

    Alice strings sell for around a fiver - used them on one bass for what seemed like forever - sold the bass before they went off... They've gone up..£6.87 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Light-4-String-Electric-Bass-Strings-Bass-Guitar-Strings-Nickel-Alloy-Wound/222569602427?hash=item33d22e9d7b:g:wmkAAOSwyltZW0gT

    There was a yellow 4 string for sale on ebay recently for around £250 IIRC. You could always have a bid on this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KALA-U-Bass-SUB4-mini-electric-bass-made-in-USA-AWESOME/223936306595
  23. TheGreek
    I've been looking for one at a reasonable price (you don't see them very often - even at unreasonable prices) to see how it compares with my Kawai F1. TBH £2.5K as near as damn it stops this being attractive as an Alembic replacement.

    Here's some former shrinkage you may have forgotten about @Andyjr1515

    Bought a Mahalo MEB1 mini-bass from eBay. So many things wrong with it that I'm having to send it back.

      Unlikely...there's a used, red (a No-no for me) Kala for around the same money.

      I think I'll wait for another to come along...or @Jabba_the_gut to sell one of his creations.

      I did look at that red one momentarily, but I've got a few projects on the go and wouldn't play it.

      Never heard of it so had to have a look. I'd be a bit drawn if there was a fretless version. I assume build/finish was disappointing though?
