Nice work! Getting a cool lookalike/soundalike for not a lot of cash. Certainly less to worry about on gig duty.

I like the look of the Gold Tone micro basses. They do one with a longer scale length so prob better intonation and also an electric cutaway version. The UK stockist is Eagle Music.

Haven't played one just watched reviews on youtube and fancy a portable upright-sounding bass. I can't see the ME on the website at the moment to verify the price.

I contacted Eagle Music about getting a Gold Tone micro ME bass, fretless left handed version. Very helpful and turns out the factory in the States will do any mods before shipping. I play with the strings upside down and asked for a right hand bridge and nut fitted. Still deliberating as not sure I can currently justify spending almost £400 ( which includes fee for the mods )

Pics aren't showing on here for me but interesting about the P basses.

Nice subwoofer you got going on in the back of that Mini!

One of my favourite ever basses to play was a beatles bass copy by Tanglewood. Being a copy these days doesn't mean its going to be any less a bass than the real thing. Especially the typical sound from a semi-hollowbody.

Love that colour combo. Both P's look fab.

And to think that Flea was given the bass by a fan! Also, how long before there's a Limelight copy?

I'd love a lefty one of these but I doubt that's gonna happen. If anyone is interested I spotted a Flea signature on ebay at the moment for £690.

Here is a pic of the underside of my Eden WTX262. Look like the stick on rubber type.

I used to pay £60 a pop for the privilage and was never satisfied so began doing it myself with similar results. Not too difficult really if bass is a good player in the first place.

Be interesting to know how the bass plays strung as BEAD with the longer string length on the lower strings.

Thought it would be cool to have a place to show off basses seen online that may be of interest. I've just spotted this at my local music store. Drool.... http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/left_guitars_detail.asp?stock=160308295921002

The Ibanez Mikro Bass overall length is 39", the body is 12" wide at the lower bout and the length of the body from strap button to stap button is 19". Fits in any six string guitar gigbag I have tried.

My lefty Ibanez Mikro next to Fender J for size comparison.

This arrived a few days ago to accomodate my short-scale Ibanez Mikro bass. Excellent quality guitar size gigbag. More like a case than just a bag. Fits the bass with room to spare. http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_premium_gigbag_eguitar_br.htm

Just ran this setup at home as a test for almost 5 hrs with no issues and very quiet. A 600w inverter connected to a 12v battery powering an Eden 250w head playing through a 4ohm 12" cab. Should still be loud and portable enough once I get a small trolley.

Certainly would have wanted to see that one in the flesh.
