Welcome Del, go on then tell us about your EHX stuff!

Quick snap of my top three! Or is that two and a half 🤔

I very rarely see a combo in a tilt back stand, but I see what you mean. Horses for courses I suppose. One is as annoying as the other (and you have to take a stand with you!)

Makes sense on a combo, so you can look down at the dials - otherwise you have to crouch down in front. Kinda prefer it tbh.

I still can't 100% get with headless basses (except of course my mini bass lol) but I do think this one has a certain something. Headless or not, Bacchus basses are up there with the very best I've played.

Just a quick note guys due to previous legal threats and posturing by Rickenbacker Corp, please keep any personal feelings about John Hall to yourselves and make sure you don't accidentally post any links in here to any Ricks for sale, home made or otherwise. Otherwise go for it - we love seeing home builds! Cheers

That was a Bacchus too but a jazz bass type. Yeah it had a Villex booster and a Bassmute on the bridge. The model above is a headless version of their 'TwentyFour' shape. Mine was gloss black with wood covered pickups, rosewood fretboard, five string.

Yep they're great - I had a headed version and it was superb. Can't really remember why I sold it, think it was because I needed a car at the time... but I ordered it directly from Bacchus who sourced me one from one of their shops in Japan.

Well, don’t worry - just jump in and buy the one you like the look of. Starter basses are so good these days you can’t really go wrong.

Welcome and good choice of basses too. Try and play them if you can but otherwise go for what you like the look of and enjoy it.

Pics!

I'll stick to what I know - forums - not much else - but happy to provide the facility if anyone gets a group together!

Get them from strings direct 👍🏼 You'll love them!

Welcome! Always nice to hear how people end up here. Hope you enjoy the site. Great setup - can you reach the knobs!?

I didn’t read it like that, although maybe he could have added ‘for me’ to the statement. Not a big issue imo

You’ve reminded me of how much I used to love the Biggles books! Remember to pop over to Guitarchat.co.uk for any guitar based posts

It depends though on how you play and the position you have your bass in. What dives for some might not for others I guess.

Transferwise is my choice. It’s excellent - cheap and really fast. In terms of being protected, just make sure you use fully insured shipping. Job done! P.S if the item is really expensive, consider a cheap flight and a 24hr break abroad. You can always meet at the airport 👍🏼

I just checked your account- it seems you paid the £7 but haven't yet used your token, so you haven't listed the item basically. Maybe you started listing it then paid for the token afterwards, but as it shows in the text above the price box, you need to have an active sub or a paid token before you can submit the post. So - in short, go and list it now! You've paid already so you'll see above the 'price' box on the form it'll say 'Sales Remaining = 1' Any problems let me know! Cheers Chris

Justpark is great but check the location via street view beforehand - quite often I've turned up and found the space to not actually be a legal space and/or i've been blocking someone else. Once I was told to park down an alleyway where I could barely open my door to get out. But that was a few years ago when it was called 'Parkatmyhouse' so I think it's been improved since!

When they work, these sound great!! Well worth repairing I think

Anyway moving on...

My fretless is fanned but each fret is fanned in a different direction, that’s what I tell people anyway
