Little Dragon are a really really good band and do some loverly things live. I think the sonicstate live stuff with Gaz Williams has some good and bad points he is a bit chaotic but his linking ideas with lots of cheap(ish) tech to a midi bass shows potential and although you might not like his style or performance I find him and his reviews generally great.

This shows mr Gas Williams from about 44mins in using his midi bass https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=II5J46xAjhk

Big deal again?

I asked the question sent an email and they are made in small batches in Korea. Will only be 4 made all in the same finish but I didn't ask if that is a first run and will follow with more or not. They did say handmade not in a factory but small workshop. I haven't taken it any further though.

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1485355201' post='3223342'] I think the 0% finance only applies if you're 25 or under. If you are 25 or under then I'm extremely envious on both counts... 😊 [/quote] Unfortunately I'm not and what sort of a stupid system is that anyway!

Not to mention this showing up in the smoke also!!! http://andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=1222

That's a temptation that along with the Spector Shorty could be a great afternoon back to back comparison. And 0% available now to really get the GAS going.

Same just stumbled across it. Now debating if to try one out or not as it seems a bit of a bargain but that in itself makes me a bit cautious incase it's to good to be true. Think they do returns though.

Yeah nice chap good old school music shop really I should drop in next time I'm back visiting the parents.

Congratulations I just picked up a status necked Jazz also but cost me a hell of a lot more than yours. Guessing you stepped into Big Deal Music I can remeber lusting over some of the secondhand deals when I was a teenager in wolves. Bargain

Just found this thought they look interesting bit like a spector shorty. Anyone heard/got any experience of them at all? http://www.evolveguitars.com/shop/guitars/evolve-pact-bass/

I found a used Sterling Oynx in a shop the other day was really tempted but two things put me off firstly it wasn't in the best of condition but it still had something about it then it was 1400 which seems a lot even if it is 150limited edition I've seen sterilings for 700/800ish! The biggest factor was the Bass was totally unplayable strings on the board in a well known shop just couldn't bring myself to even debate with them.

Depends on what you are after I guess and the size/amount of gear I used to fit a suprising amount in my hatch (Mark 5 golf before a lorry took a liking to its rear) but if you need more you can pick up old estates like Volvo 850 for not very much. If insurance is a big factor think classic car you would be amazed how many cars are covered up to quite modern and it's really cheap my VW bay window (is not for lugging gear but I have used it) is under £200 for limited mileage.
