I have to say. The problems that the "tuning system" solves seem to me like they are issues that are solved by a well built/set up bass.

There's something special about having a bass built exactly the way you wanted. It's one of the many things I love about my ACG. The fact I know it's one of a kind. The wait is the hardest bit however!

Frank Zappa would be my addition to this list.

MXR Power Brick for me. not had any issues with it and it does 18 and 9v.

I do want one but just can't really justify the expense at the moment. Someone put a bad review on here for my wallet please.

Steve bought a pedal from me, easy and smooth sale Cheers Steve!

Look forward to it. Always enjoy your builds.

The musics not my cup of tea but I can't fault it other than that

I caught the local (to me) CC trying to shift a LTD 5 string for £180 but it had a previously snapped off headstock which was very very close to snapping off again. They weren't impressed when I offered them £20 for it. They paid £95 for it if I remember rightly.

I like it better than other Ken Smith's I've seen...still wouldn't buy one though.

ACG would be my recommendation. Definitely doable with that budget.

Can't say for ABZ but it's not as thin as the AB1 neck although it's still a relatively thin neck. Very comfortable and doesn't feel like you're holding onto a big plank. If you're anywhere near Glasgow/Lanarkshire at any point you're welcome to try mine.

When I get offered a bass in a trade for way less than I'm asking I just say no thanks. When I see an ad elsewhere that's above New price or just wildly unrealistic I sometimes send a polite message. More often than not they just didn't bother researching it.

Bought some straplocks from Simon. Great guy to deal with, cheers again

I would go for it. As much as I love Warwick basses, the MEC preamps arent great (IMO). The East pre would only improve it. I can't see if really taking away any of the core tone either. Although I could be wrong. only one way to find out!

I haven't read the comments here as I can't find the arsedness but I'll respond to the original post. I have what I would consider to be rather high end equipment (everything except a cab) and I don't think for a second that anybody but me cares what I'm using -despite being asked at almost every gig I play-. My reason for having them is just that I want to basically. I get more enjoyment from playing my ACG or Dingwall than I get from other basses but nobody really cares about that! I have a lot of the gear and will be the first one to admit that I have no idea! I'm not a particularly great player in any aspect but I like it

California by Mr Bungle. Incredible and weird album. Fantastic from start to finish in my books.

How do you know they are non-musicians?

[quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1440478934' post='2851067'] How much does that cost? [/quote] £4

Sir Dukes always a good option. Has groove and the unison part is fairly flashy. Although as far as 'impressing non-musicians' goes. Even the most basic of slap stuff seems to impress so many people.

I think Delano also make pickup casings to order as well.
