  1. Am I right in saying that BD are the only Uk distributor for the SL basses. Yours was a sweet looking instrument… I was very close to pulling the trigger on that!
  2. Wry lovely! There is one of those on the sale section at the moment I think… I have been looking at @Owen L1000… The colour is the only thing that has me on the fence… Having said that it would likely look great on stage!
  3. Beautiful bass shame about the scale length!
  4. I do like the look of some of the Ibanez stuff… maybe I should get down to guitar guitar and check some out… The SR5005 looks gorgeous but they seem to come in quite heavy…
  5. As the title says… Do any of you have any suggestions for a nice light weight passive 5 string? Preferably jazz style but poss precision as well, maybe even something a little different… cost wise probably around £2k… ish, will probably sell my Sadowsky modern to fund it
  6. What is the weight on this one please?
  7. Thanks for that, a little too much for my aging frame😭
  8. Any chance you could tell me the weight please?
  9. I think it is on YouTube… will have a look for the link…
  10. Congratulations, that is a really beautiful bass. Have never personally tried one but am very intrigued!
  11. How many years on BC and I didn’t even know this thread existed😂 Am looking forward to guesting at my old church tomorrow in the city centre, should be pretty cool. Awesome group of musicians and a massive p/a system🥰 They have chosen Firm foundation as one of the songs, sounds like it has some pretty cool fills and slides to have some fun with! Have any of you guys used that song?
  12. That is totally stunning!
  13. I might be tempted if the timing is right… need to save some pennies!!
  14. I might pick up a 5 string version in the future… they really are incredible instruments
  15. So… I treated myself to this a couple of weeks ago. After an initial wobble where I was tempted to move it on I have decided it is likely a keeper. Super lightweight at just over 3 kg and just about the best neck I have ever had the pleasure of playing. It does quite a nice P bass impression with the neck pickup and a decent Stingray impression with a little bridge pickup rolled in… And as for the wood choices… ♥️♥️
  16. Andy just bought a gig bag from me. Super easy guy to deal with, an absolute pleasure thanks Andy
  17. Hey, Thanks Mike I don’t want to post at this stage… I don’t have anything big enough to package it in and I am guessing from recent dealings with the post office that the cost would be prohibitive.
  18. Up for sale is a lightly used TGI Ultimate gig bag. It is in great condition and only around 12 months old. There is some light scuffing to the logo on the front and a couple of marks inside but purely cosmetic Collection from Leicester preferred although am happy to meet up within reason **Am away for a few days from Wednesday**
  19. Up for sale is a really beautiful Sadowsky Modern 4-24 featuring Akume body with AAAA Claro Walnut top, roasted alpine maple C shaped neck, ebony fingerboard with 12” radius, Sadowsky soap bars and pre amp. It is in outstanding condition, there is barely a mark on it (I actually can’t see any) There is a small amount of fret wear (pictured) but nothing that affects play and would be removed in a matter of minutes by a decent tech. The weight is 3.2kg so ridiculously light and it balances absolutely perfectly on the strap. The only thing that I can pull it up on is a small indentation to the inside of the electronics compartment lid that does affect the shielding contact. I use a small piece of foil to bridge the gap as a cheap solution however the ideal thing would be to buy a new cover which are available through Warwick. Not a biggie but would rather be up front. Original gig bag, tools, leather strap and paperwork all included.

  20. Lovely bass, congratulations. very jealous!
  21. Global eq adjustments are ok if you only use one instrument… if you play multiple instruments eg acoustic guitar bass and electric guitar then you are probably better off using an eq block instead.
