    Just picked this up, thanks I havent really pushed it to be honest but will give that a try

    It will be interesting to try the fretted version. Based on my past experience with an Esh, with a similar system it should cope with everything I throw at it but we'll see. I just love experimenting.

    Thanks, sound advice (excuse the pun) and its good to know I'm not alone. No more peeking at other basses for me for a while, well maybe a quick peek before I sleep!😂 Note: I'll know how the Spectorcore works by next weekend, maybe I try try a comparison

    Years ago I bought a crafter acoustic bass learned the hard way that "acoustic basses can be feedback monsters", so gave them a wide birth for years. That was until 2019, when I got my beloved semi-hollow Peerless Cassidy bass. Then a couple of months back I scored a smart, Gretsch short scale, which I noodle with and play at work when I'm learning stuff. All well and good but things have now got out of control. My aim was to sell but Instead of selling I traded my jazz for a Lakland hollow Body bass. I bought a Dearmond Starfire bass locally about 2 weeks ago, which is currently getting its electrics sorted, and now I bought a Spectocore fretted 5 as my spare for gigging. My head hurts! I consider myself lucky but maybe I'm just going nuts! 1. I can't keep em all, which do I keep? 2. Where an I going to store them even?? 3. Will the Spectorcore be good for rock and metal 😂? 4. Am I insane?? No need to answer the last one!

    WOW

    I'm sure they are fine for storage and occasional use but in light of your comment I'm glad I looked elsewhere

    Thanks, they look just the job but the specs say Fender FB610 Electric Bass Gig Bag, Black | PMT Online, which is why I discounted them. I do need the 40cm. Do they distort to fit? Ed
  10. Pinball
    Thanks for the replies, I saw the blake but it said no postage. I have messaged just in case and I need something that is 40cm wide. I may end up with a rockbag, but as carrying it on my back is the main purpose it doesn't sound ideal 👍

    Just adding that I can't see much else. A Mono Virtigo maybe but they are expensive bits of kit for occasional use Nothing else?

    Hi, can someone help be by letting me know the internal length of the above please? Update: now not needed thanks
  13. Pinball
    Was mine, I was tempted to buy it back. It does the biz

    Hi all, I'm lucky enough to own a JC and Lakland hollowbody basses, and would really like to get myself a decent gig bag to avoid lugging around. There are some posts on here but they are old and out of date? Anyone got any recommendations or selling. Both are pretty thin in terms of depth and the max body width is 41cm. I did find this on Thoman but would prefer to find something with more internal support Rockbag Starline Hollowbody E-Bass Bag – Thomann UK Any help would be much appreciated

    I was going to say Stingray lol The Anaconda basses have great pups, not sure if that qualifies as sissle though.

    Last push! Otherwise keeping it!

    Hi just updated the specs and weight above. Lots of great reviews out there (couldn't find a bad one). Here is an overview of a similar bass of a similar age:
  19. Pinball
    Its a nice weight, not heavy and well balanced. ill try and weigh it tonight. I have a bunch of questions to answer. I'll also try and find a relevent YT video . Apologies I failed with info on the original listing.

    Picture with guard removed as requested" Thx

    As my Spector hasn't sold yet so I'm putting up my Anaconda, which I bought used for a project earlier this year, which is now complete. Trades? A quality semi hollow e.g Chowny, Gretsch, Peerless *not a Cassidy" as I have one. 5's with a narrower spacing than this, 16-18 string spacing and passive option A bass 6/Vi, *not squier It is a stunning bass in fine condition. Also one of the most diverse and best sounding electrical systems I've some across. It sounds amazing both active and passive. From the serial number it looks a 2021 instrument. There is some light scratching on the back and pickguard from normal use and a small ding on the back. Otherwise it's like new. The neck is fabulous with wide string spacing. I'll put a set of rounds on it for the lucky new owner! I can post at cost but collection and trial welcome! Ultra J Essence Bass is one of the most popular brands at the moment, having won an award from the prestigious Bass Media (Bass Guitar Magazine). General SPECS Body: Alder or Ash? Neck - Maple Bolt on, Fretboard: Rosewood Dual carbon fiber rods Frets: 4 & 5 string - 21 Frets, 6 String - 24 Frets. Scale length: 34.5 Controls: Stacked Vol/Passive tone, Blend, Mids, Stacked treble and bass and an Active passive switch (see video below) Tuners: Lightweight Hipshot String Tree: Hipshot Bridge: Sung Il BB009 Bridge (4 string), Sung Il Monorail Saddles (5 & 6 String). All 19mm Spacing String Spacing: 19mm spacing at bridge (4, 5 & 6 String) Tusq Nut: 40mm Nut width (4 String), 48mm (5 String), 52mm (6 String) Weight: 4.5kg/10lb, which is on the light side for such a machine
