Well it does indeed look like a Rob Allen, you guys are great, thanks.

Calling all bass detectives out there, please let me know what this five string fretless is, looks and sounds pretty amazing (the latter is, ekhm, 'partly' down to the awesome player that Wojtek Mazolewski most certainly is):

Thanks!

OMG, and at this price it will be gone still in 2014 ...

Seriously, dude ...

Have a bump on me, bassman344.

The tuners arrived today. They've definitely improved how the bass balances. Very happy, and at half the UK price - which is a shame, really.

I've been once, and perhaps it is noisy but we go to gigs or play on stages that are waaaay noisier than this so I don't get what people's problem is. Want a quiet day out - go to an art gallery (perhaps not Tate Modern, overcrowded with disinterested chatty tourists...).

Will I go again? I'd love to check out the Maruszczyk's, say hi to Adrian, or drool at other extravagant gear at prices from outer space. But the admission ticket for 1 day at £20+ is a bit steep. If there were shop stalls with gear we always buy like strings, cables, etc. that sold this stuff at prices below the usual bargains you can find e.g. online, then it makes sense. At the moment I am not so sure.

Many thanks neepheid - so this A style hipshot is out of the question then, don't want it that much as to go all DIY on that funky Squier.

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Does anyone know if [/font][/size][color=#323232][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hipshot A style bridge, .718/18.24mm string spacing will fit with no mods? Asking because there is one on sale here but could not find anything online to be sure of it.[/font][/color]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][color="#323232"]Thanks in advance.[/color][/font]

My thoughts exactly neepheid - but then again, I have two Tribute G&Ls and absolutely love them

Somebody, treat yourself to outstanding bass quality for really silly money. (I'd have it but with the size of my palms, I struggle to get on with a jazz neck, sadly.)

Hello

Anyone has experience of swapping the stock Squier VM bridge with a higher-mass better-intonation-setting bridge, like a hipshot A style or Gotoh?

Looking for something that will just fit, no drilling etc.

Thanks!

miles'tone - thank you

Ah, perfect. If only it was lined

Hello BCers,

I'd like to put Hipshot's Ultralites in my Sq VM PJ, simply because the body is light and it does not balance that great. Which ones will fit- HB6 1/2" or 3/8"?

Also, you mentioned that buying form US ebay seems to work. No duty tax etc.? Can you recommend a seller on ebay?

Thanks!

While I would tell you, no, not interested in headless, white or graphite - damn, this is one COOL looking bass.

Hi,

Interested in trades?

Thanks

$450 and it does not go to 11? Meh.

PMd re the Jam

Ha, so no owners yet, no opinions, only instant GAS! BCers, you all need therapy ... Me included

Just came across this brand, cheaper than Squier VM or CV, similarly cheap as Harley Benton, stocked by the London's Bass Gallery, I am intrigued: http://www.revelationguitars.co.uk/bass

Anyone has one, tried one, opinions?

I'd definitely attend a London bash! And if I can cycle there, phwoar, it's a winner.

Because of a gig I went to last night, it all got a bit jazzy for me at the moment. Tomasz Stanko, one of my true musical heroes:

PlungerModerno, thank you, that's very useful.

In the end I think I found a very close match, of the 3 Pozi ones in this set, the middle one does the job: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/rolson-6-part-screwdriver-set-n66ct (and the smallest one fits perfectly in the intonation screws in the Squier VM bridge).

Funny thing about the saddle-lock screw in those G&L bridges. When I bought my first G&L that screw was missing so I emailed the shop, they apologised and sent me one in the post. That was in the L2000, I put it in, tightened it, thought it actually made a difference in the phatness of the sound. Great.

Some time later I bought the M2000 and once I did the intonation setup I tightened the screw, then when I tried untightening it it just stayed in place.

Turns out there is a piece of plastic between the screw and the G string saddle which I was unaware of since it was not there in the L2000 bridge. I tightened it too much so the plastic compressed and would not move back (in fact, would not move at all). I had to dismantle the G saddle to get it out, had to discard it and it is now just the screw tightening the bridge, just as I have it in the L2000. It probably does not make a huge difference and I am not sure why that plastic thing is there at all.

Anyway - I hope this is enlightening to those who have that bridge and were wondering what the heck is going on inside of it.

People, just wanted to draw your attention to this young cat from NY. Saw them live last night at the Barbican and while I do not play DB, this man was very impressive, such beautiful feel, so much melody, and one solo he did was just unreal.

Please share your opinions if you are familiar with this player, opinions, recommendations all welcome, thanks!

well it sounded alright, I guess, it occasionally sounded a bit muddy but I think it's just how the FOH decided it should sound. Quite a good band btw, interested to see how they develop.

Having said that, the band after this one had a classic P and it sounded proper! (But with their own sound guy behind the FOH board though...)
