  1. And yet this bass is still, as of today, being sold on eBay with the misleading description of it almost certainly being a 70s or 80s model based on hardware. 🤨
  2. Absolutely love this 💙 Guitar reminds me of how Keith Levene sometimes played 👌
  3. My mid 90s FL Ray put an end to my ignorant snobbery of PF - it's got more Mwah than a couple of posh birds air kissing.
  4. Not sure ifPlease post here or PM for more pics.
  5. Sound clip... Preamp EQ is flat. Strings are well worn in. Played into Logic and Aguilar Plugin Suite, AG amp set flat, 2x12 cab.
  6. withdrawn now - it’s just too good really. Reluctantly listing this one - my modded ‘95 Ray gets more attention (as it’s a highly nostalgic bass for me) so as much as I like this Special I’m struggling to justify keeping it. Made in 2020, great condition, Ivory White with Rosewood fingerboard. Super comfy to play and sounds spot on - sound clip posted below. Weighs 4kg / 8.9lb. Comes with case and candy. Cheers 👍 Link to my feedback thread -
  7. Sorry to read that Bruce. This is a killer bass IMO, I had my hands on it earlier this year, the tone is really stunning too. GLWTS
  8. Which can only be a good thing then 👍
  9. I reckon Tim Burton might make his dinner in his Ninja listening to that track 👻 Yep, photo posed quite the challenge for me too (not a bad thing), so just knocked out a quick entry as my ‘jingle’ was doing my head pretty quickly 😂
  10. I’ve never been an expert by any means - every time I think the prices may have hit a ceiling, they continue to climb and climb….
  11. When I was working in the vintage guitar trade I was told in 2008 by a solid UK source that there is a group of vintage dealers in the States that get together each year prior to a trade show and certain vintage prices are set from there, and like you say, the rest follow and other vintage gear rises accordingly.
  12. First year, radio knobs, long poles… Mental price though 😊
  13. Wow, someone has beaten @Baloney Balderdash to the first tune posted! If 6 was 1 - You won't catch me singing, so because the Air Fryer poster said it's '6 in 1' I decided to do a little jingle in 6 styles.
  14. That’d be great, thanks. And hope to see you this month too, pick an inspiring picture for you! 😊
  15. Congrats @Wolfram, great tune 👌 Over to you for the October picture 👍
  16. I’d quite like this bass, but fear that it’ll always be making snide comments to me like “you ain’t half as good as my ex” 😬
  17. That’s definitely good enough, and helpful, as a decent tech will do the wiring diagram themselves and discuss options/possibilities etc. 👍

    Thanks, nice bit of history. Refund sounds good too - we used to call them 'Vintage and Dear' due to their prices, but I always got on well with the London shop folks. Cheers

    That’s cool, always nice to know a bit about the journey 👍 The acoustic tone is stunning, I often play it unplugged on the couch. It’s not looking like I’ll master fretless playing anytime soon, so this bass fits nicely in the fun to own category as it just seems way too good to pass on.
  20. Yep - still have to pinch myself that I sold it 😂 Oh well, we needed cash quick for a new floor and a couch and for some odd reason I couldn't justify keeping the bass 😕 Anyway, lovely playing in the vid Warren, and genuinely so chuffed you love it and use it. Though I very much doubt you'll ever move it on, and I can't blame you pal
  21. Nice bass. If the original guard has gone astray, I’m 99.9% sure these guys made the originals… https://pickguardheaven.com/product/pg-35022-music-man-usa-stingray-4-20th-anniversary-model/
  22. First time using the Aguilar plugin suite which fixed a problem for me, though a problem I didn’t quite fix was my intonation on the fretless Stingray I got recently and recorded with for the first time, so it only appears in 2 small sections by the skin of it's teeth 😬 Coasting - a deep dreamy kind of vibe that reminds me partly of holidays abroad years back, and partly of British summers in my youth - this tune kind of captures both for me. Though there’s a tiny bit of rock thrown in towards the end too as they were just sat there, scattered on the beach….
  23. Although I regularly use Helix for headphone practice, I found the bass amps/cabs to be more quality over quantity when i started recording with them.
  24. I like it a lot. Previously was using a Helix, though the Noble preamp replica most often when recording as I struggled with the amp options. I also sometimes used Logic amps, often with the Helix Noble, but again I wasn’t that fussed with them either. This plugin works for me as I like the tone of the AG amps, but also find the others useful. And the cabs work well for me too. I was debating the spend, but the ease of use and instant ‘better than what I have’ made it a quick no brainer for me. I expect other people’s opinions may vary.
