    What's the budget? I think you could be looking at the Ibanez BTB675 or maybe the Peavey Grind 5, Ibanez is just under 17mm not sure about the spacing on the Peavey. Another option might be the SRFF805. Until you mentioned the spacing, I was going to say forget about neck-through and look for an MTD Kingston. I've just picked one up from the forum and the low B is immense!

    Think your dimensions might be an order of magnitude out. 630 cm is 6.3 metres . that's one hell of a combo! I

    I just got back from a trip to patrikmarky in the wilds of Norfolk, to try out and buy a very nice MTD Kingston from him. Patrick made me very welcome, allowed me plenty of time to try out the bass and admire the view from his studio, and even made me a nice cup of coffee. Thanks Patrick - recommended.

    Chis just bought a VB99 from me. Excellent communications, fast payment, sorry that we weren't able to meet up for a handover in person, that's the only thing that I wish had happened differently! Recommended.

    [quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1429292640' post='2750195'] And Ivory? [/quote] Got a lot of basses with ivory fretboards, have you? If the folklore that ebony boards sit between maple and rosewood in terms of brightness is true, that blows away the hardness argument since ebony is a lot harder and more dense than either rosewood or maple. Beedster you need to get some otherwise identical necks made up with different board materials and test them all on the same body with the same brand of strings to eliminate as many sources of error as possible.

    [quote name='Hector' timestamp='1429284067' post='2750051'] So are those peak hour times CamdenRob mentions accurate? Seems a bit restrictive. [/quote] Depends on the line. He's spot on for the Central line.

    What about ebony?

    String spacing on the Ibanez SR series is 16.5 mm about as tight as it gets. The Yamaha is streets ahead of everything on your list quality wise. It you just want a great quality backup with a similar string spacing to your Carvin there is a Bass Collection SB315 in the classified for a bargain price.

    [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1428526741' post='2742233'] A metal kettle. But the most metally is John Kettley.

    Bump for sound files.

    The SGC Nanyo Bass Collection 4 strings are 7.5lbs and balance very well.

    OK - I'm not much of a guitarist, but here's a warts-n-all rendition of Somewhere In the Night by Michael Chapman, recorded with the mikes on my Zoom H4N https://soundcloud.com/eteoung/somewhere-in-the-night
  18. pete.young
    Nothing to do with SGC Nanyo I'm afraid -these are a much more recent thing, probably made in Indonesia. I think these are one of the better copies, so I'm not surprised it fetched a decent amount.

    This cab is now sold. Thanks everyone for the interest.
  20. pete.young
    How about Noteflight ? https://www.noteflight.com/login
  21. pete.young
    Thanks guys, it is indeed a monster cab. Bigwan, it would work very nicely with your Burmans - I ran a Pro 4000 through it and it sounded immense! Easter-type bump.
  22. pete.young
    Bump.

    I think if this bass sounds half as good as it looks, it'll blow most things into the weeds. Some mundane details for those of us in the real world: what's the weight, what's the string spacing at the bridge, and what is the distance of the MM pickup from the bridge?

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1427791792' post='2734179'] Not sure about using members 'copy' for a commercial magazine... [/quote] The Ts&Cs make it pretty clear that we have no say in this.

    For sale - an AMG-3 Tricone Resonator guitar, with a guitar neck (not a square Dobro-type). It's set up with a fairly low action and can be played finger-style with a bottleneck. A very substantial Kinsman hard case is included. This instrument has been drastically improved by Basschat's resident genius guitar builder kevin_lindsay, who buffed the finish to a semi-gloss sheen and added some Delta resonator cones which have transformed the sound. He also added the National decal to the headstock. Kevin's build thread is here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/183617-metal-bodied-resonator-guitar-refurbishment/page__p__1767710__hl__tricone__fromsearch__1#entry1767710"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1767710[/url] Taking pictures of this instrument now that it's shiny are quite a challenge The instrument is in excellent condition, with only one tiny mark in the finish on the head which I've tried to show in one of the photographs. There are some better shots in Kevin's original for sale thread, which I hope he wont mind me linking to. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/192584-sold-steel-bodied-tricone-resonator-guitar-with-hard-case-sold/page__p__1883235__hl__tricone__fromsearch__1#entry1883235"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1883235[/url] . Price is £350 plus shipping. The guitar can also be collected from Ipswich, or we can meet up in central London. I'm not really looking for trades but would consider part-ex against a quality old-time banjo.

It's become something of a tradition for donations to be made when this instrument changes hands, something which I will be glad to maintain and I hope that if someone buys it they will consider doing so too.
