Hello! I've alway been curious about those cabs... no trades, right?

What ya got to trade?

Bump

This superb instrument is a real bargain, with gig bag and Full Circle would be closer to £4k new!

Try Kolstein Heritage

Welcome to the darkside Gareth.

Might help to know a bit about the incoming bass, if it's pre loved maybe the previous owner could advise what they settled on, if any.

And pics of the bridge / wing slots with width of the slots would be useful.

Either a Bassmax or Shadow SH950 would be good for starters, both thicker than the Underwood and Planet Wing.

Enjoy your new bass.

Where are you? I'm in North Yorkshire

I'm experienced with SLB's & could set it up for you and advise how to get the best out of it with strings & pickups etc.

I bet you are - the big Daddy!

If you could ship it or meet up somehow I'd have it Chris.

Nearly 50 years playing bass I've found an instrument that should last me another 50

I can't put it down!

I need to practice it though because it's got a high C string and my old brain thinks I've got a 5 string with a low B

It's gorgeous, it weighs nothing, it balances perfectly on my leg without a strap, it's easy on my knackered old left hand.

Apart from all that it sounds amazing!

Wish I'd had one 50 years ago.

I had the same problem on the Steiney with the inner core pulling through and ruining a £40 set of T.I.'s, the solution is to leave as tight a coil of extra string length as poss which looks a bit silly but works.

Thanks Duncan

The Steinberger will accept normal strings or double ball.

Thought about selling the L2 now I've got the Mouse, but I use it as a backup bass when taking the upright out, it's so portable.

Anyone experienced either or both Labella S660 or Status Black Nylon Hand Wound double ball type for Steinberger fretless or similar?

I've got La Bella 760N on my Rob Allen and quite like them so thought I might replace the S500l's on my L2 with black nylons.

Lovely to meet up with Sarah again when I drove down to South Wales to collect a bass from ThePapabull and deliver a combo to Sarah, who put me up for the night.

Hope you love the amp Sarah and thanks for the hospitality, the bacon butty breakfast set me up for the 5 hour drive home X

Had the pleasure of meeting paul and his lovely wife on Wednesday when I drove down to Newport to collect the Rob Allen Mose he sold me.

Met up at Paul's home with Sarah Thomas and we were welcomed with tea and biscuits and invited up to his amazing studio.

Handed over a few crinkly fivers and I'm now the proud owner of a beautiful instrument.

Thanks Paul, hope you enjoy your MB2 as much as I'm enjoying the Mouse

I've just got a Rob Allen Mouse 30 5 with a high C & I'm loving it!

Strings are La Bella Deep Talkin 760N

Early days yet but I can't put it down. Picked it up Wednesday from ThePapabull and done 2 gigs on it already and played it a few hours today, prob another hour or so tonight with Phil Jones headphones.

I was concerned about the narrow string spacing but I'm getting used to it. And the C string sounds sweet and musical, prob due to the shorter scale. Anyway time for another noodle on it.

Dibbs on this please

I've too many amps & cabs that aren't being used so time to move some on.

PJB D600 2 channel head with gig bag, only gigged a couple of times £575 - sold

I tried TI flats on my fretless Wal, they felt nice but killed the sound. It's come alive again with GHS Pressurewounds

Any fretless Status owners out there?

I'd like to know how they sound.

Or can anyone recommend any recordings or youtube.

I can only find this vid

I've got a little used Acoustic Image Ten2 Combo that I might let go. Comes with the gig bag.

Also a PJB Superflightcase but that doesn't have XLR input.

I use a Wilson K4 on my Clifton bass straight into both amps, sounds great without any external pre amp

P.m.'d

I've got both the XT and Synapse cases, I could measure them tomorrow if that helps
