Try saying that fast after you've had a few. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MILLER-Carbon-Fibre-Fretless-Headless-4-Bass-German-made-c-w-gig-bag/162684917990

Beautifully made and very versatile, but dear god, that huge pickup is fugly...

Not for me, but might float somebody's boat... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STATUS-GRAPHITE-1980s-Series-2000-Headless-One-Piece-Carbon-Fiber-4-String-/322797241092

I know what you mean. When I'm not really 'in the mood', I find it helps to focus on one thing as a sort of pick me up - taking a couple of different basses on the gig for a bit of variety, putting on a fresh set of strings for that extra 'zing', wearing a snazzy shirt, stuff like that. I've just read that back and it all sounds rather shallow, but it does help! Or perhaps it's just me...

Graeme bought my TC compact amp. Great comms, very prompt payment despite geographical issues (!) and a really smooth transaction all round. Highly recommended.

After a quick google it appears it was 'King Thumb'... still giving lessons, although his website looks like it was designed in the 90's...

These are the basses that Henry 'Magic Thumb' Thomas used to endorse in the 80's, IIRC. Whatever happened to him?

Never mind what it looks like - have you seen the action on that thing? You'd need the hands of Frankenstein to fret a note!!

Y'see, it's not the bass I find disturbing, although I do. It's the thought of what the person who would buy such a thing would look like...

[quote name='LZD56' timestamp='1506273899' post='3377519'] Got to thank lowregisterhead for alerting me to the auction! [/quote] You are very welcome. Enjoy the bass!

[quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1506193681' post='3377032'] The seller probably would have got way more (£600?) for it if it hadn't been listed in Musical Instruments > Pro Audio Equipment > Software, Loops & Samples [/quote] Maybe they started typing Steinberg (er)... and then just clicked the first category that popped up. Expensive mistake.

[quote name='LZD56' timestamp='1506202222' post='3377079'] That'd be me then [/quote] Result! I fancy the CR5 Radius myself, but I was tempted...

One bid. Someone got a bargain.

Nice, looks mint... £400 and no bids yet... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NS-design-Wav-4-Radius-Bass-/302454996665

Especially as The Gallery have the exact same model (different finish, mark you) in virtually mint condition, ex-Dave Swift for £1500...

I don't think so! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Steinberger-5-string-XQ-25w-1991-vintage-rare-original-collectable-model-/152696350319"]http://www.ebay.co.u...l-/152696350319[/url]

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1505674670' post='3373505'] What are you using now? No hole in my midrange btw! [/quote] Well... seeing as you've asked, I reverted to my EBS Proline 410, then that morphed into two EBS Proline 210's just 'cos they were more manageable (getting old y'see) and as I stack them on their ends, they're actually more audible too. That was the other thing the BF lacked - that trademark EBS glassy top end, but I see you don't care for tweeters, so that won't be an issue for you! On the top of the cabs has variously been an EBS TD650, a Glockenklang Heart Rock II, a TC Electronic BH800, a GK MB800 Fusion, and now an Eich T1000. I have tried other Neo cabs in the past (MarkBass, EBS) but I found they just couldn't handle the bottom end... not my kind of bottom end, anyway.

Had a Big Twin T. It was very light and much louder than you'd expect, just like they said it would be, but the sound had a big hole in the midrange that I couldn't seem to EQ back in, and then the horn blew on the second gig. Returned it and got a refund.
