ped

Already restricted, thanks. We’ve previously banned him but this time we’re going to make his posts and PMs visible to him only so he’ll have no idea. Theres a warning at the top of the wanted forum Cheers

Hi kieran i think it’ll simplify things if the bass is shipped as a purchased item, in other words decalared at full value with the relevant forms. You’ll have to pay duty and handling but it’ll be a small price to pay. Undervaluing the item will likely lead to it being ‘inspected’ and delayed, gift or not.

Zoom B1on. Portable (tiny, light), battery powered and lasts ages and sounds great.

They look good but I’d miss the tone print function because you can have a brilliant compressor on board with that

I normally like them in isolation and some even sound good live, however I always find the mostly slab shaped body and often present plastic pickguard and big bulky neck joints make the overall aesthetics of the things feel a bit poor. Especially for the prices they can often command.

I like (in order of best to worst) AN (sounds nice and buttery) Y (a little more hollow sounding) VM (has that hollow sound that I dislike about P basses)

Hated the old ones. Rattly and the nut comes loose after about ten mins no matter how tight you screw it on. Always thought the design was a bit clunky.

I use Elixirs now and that last about a year but before I switched I used to use ‘Fast Fret’ which worked well.

It’s Jeff.

Will do 🤔

@bass_japan_direct

There's a button in the top right. Only to be used in cases where we can actually do something (abusive language, wrong forum, etc) On mobile it's a little flag icon.

Always buy from an official retailer or from amazon themselves (not a seller ON amazon) Quality is worth paying for. These strings last me at least a year a set so even a £50 pack saves me tons a year.

Yes, someone just made a mistake

There is, but the default forum search calls forum areas ‘topics’ instead for some reason. I’ll see if I can change. In the meantime try the filters as shown. Cheers

I'm not calling him again

If you want me to put you in touch let me know - there may be a deal to be had, if for example you'd be happy for others to try it.

Weird, I haven't noticed that before. Normally the fretless (non delta metal) ones don't have dots, either. Maybe it was a Friday afternoon job. Possibly some strange tuning thing? EDIT: Just called 'Phons, he said: It has the phenowood fingerboard, but with the fret markings in the position they would have on a fretted bass - you have to push down the strings BETWEEN the fret markings, not ON them. See you later ped by the way can you come to my barbec....( I hung up)

The basses in my pic are (L-R) WIngbass Vigier Passion Vigier Arpege Vigier Arpege fretless The pic you posted is Alphonso Johnson trying to look like me. He cals all the time, bit annoying actually. I call him the 'Phons

Welcome, thanks for joining in. Let me know if I can help with any site related questions. Cheers

Yeah they’re alright 🤔 Had one, sold it to buy a car years ago. Now I have the series one fretless five, on the right. This is even rarer, and sounds better.

Ah I see, thanks for confirming that.

Wasn't very easy getting it all in one pic, but here we go. The 'amp' here is my headphones from the VB99 synth and the BH800 under my monitor powers the TecAmp bassboard under me' chair.
