Ah OK. That's a different kettle of fish. Best of luck with the claim. 🙂👍

When were they supposedly delivered? If today then they might well show up tomorrow. I've had this and they mark it delivered due to targets/bonuses/penalties/paperworl, I don't exactly know why but it happens. Hopefully they'll show up.

Maybe a G&L Kiloton? The same but different.

@Paul S I still get that childlike wonder when I plug one in. Here's this bass that, let's face it, feels and looks like a toy, then you plug it in and WOW, that tone. It'll go from dark and thumpy to very Bruce Foxton-esque clank easily, but wherever you have the controls it's got clarity. I don't even think I'm going to do much to it, a good clean and polish and wear those battle scars with pride.

Get a Rick then.

I literally posted "I'm in", closed BC and opened Facebook and it was staring at me. Slightly tatty, but local and half the price it should be. I love a Dano bass so thought I'll add it to the project pile. In my defence I've just packaged up the more expensive Ashdown bass to go back, so I'm already winning... aren't I? 😁

'A' Bomb in Wardour Street - The Jam

Well this is embarrassing... I'm out! 😳

Actually, count me in. The plan this year is to focus on finishing all my embarrassingly neglected projects and maybe even sell some of other basses. I'm pretty sure I've got all the bits I need for each project so shouldn't fall foul. I've got three more days to go to beat last years attempt. 😄

My brain can't work it out at the mo but would the fret spacing work to the scale length? If the first three frets went, then the old 15th fret would become the new 12th, would this be halfway between the new nut and the bridge? It might well be, say if 4" was chopped off but the space between 12th and 15th was 2" then all would be good, wouldn't it? 🤔

Better get a Marshall full stack for rehearsal 😁. Great set list. I've said it before and I don't mind saying it again, Another Girl Another Planet is the finest pop song ever recorded IMO, perfection from start to finish. Congrats and enjoy the skinny strings 😎👍

Well it's going back. 😔 As I said, the neck is gorgeous, the body and finish is great, it's relatively lightweight and plays nicely. The hardware is fairly generic and the bad fitment is easily rectified. But, it just sounds so bland. No character of its own at all. For £300 it's OK, no better than Harley Bentons for half the price, but OK. Anymore and I'd really struggle to see what you're paying for. The 'proper' Saints are £850 from Ashdown, far more on pre order from some of the big shops, over £1200 from the one of them. I think these are a Chinese made budget version of the Korean made The Saint basses, but the only difference I can see is that the tuners are Wilkinson (I think) rather than Hipshot licensed Ultralites. The pickups might be cheaper as well but the proper Saint doesn't specify what pickups it uses, just says P and J style so I'd assume there just a fairly generic pickup set anyway. I guess the actual price and level of QC will determine whether these sell or not when they're released. As others have hinted at I'm not really sure who these are aimed at, too pricey for beginner/budget instruments, and not high enough quality to be in the over £500 bracket. Oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained. 🙂

Hard to Handle - Otis Redding or The Black Crowes

I'm not planning on buying anything for the rest of the year. 😁
