Thump

The Ibanaez btb fretless 6 caught my eye instantly. Already sold and probably for the best, thats what i'm telling myself anyway. I'd prefer a fretted 5 but i do have Primus aspirations

I love this swear filter 😂

Holy stinky poo that's beautiful. If you EVER sell it PLEASE pm me!!!

I only have 4 and i'm still collecting. So many basses so little time. Just one? Inconceivable for now

The best thing , besides from how it sounds , is the silence. The almost complete lack of any unwanted noise. It is a free noise gate

That's really nice. Like really , really nice

Hey! Hope this is in the right place , the luthier section seemed a little off for what is essentially a few mods. So, for my birthday the Mrs treated me to a bass i had my eye on and i was happy. Then it arrived and i could not for the life of me find the arrows for the 4 sting bow i had been sent. Neck angle was waaaaaay off and even with the bridge saddles absolutley slammed the action at the 12th was about 6mm... Unfortunately i have no pictures of just how bad it was, i'm not one of those who photos everything and shows the world what i had for dinner last tuesday. The finished pic i had to take for this post, its been finished for 2 weeks now. I had my eye on this bass as a project, a cheapo wonder to be improved upon with as little as possible spent but all new parts. Wanting to do things properly, or as properly as i know how i opted to copper shield the bloody lot. Turns out it was possibly the best £7 mod i have ever made and every instrument i own will be treated to the same eventually. The bass was £105. The parts (pickup , knobs , bridge , tuners ) inc. delivery were £74. Neck shims and p bass wiring kit delivered from Stewmac was £45. The time was my own , and it turns out it was well spent. This bass is incredible, Incredible to play, incredible sounding. I have never owned a P bass before and have been looking for this sound, Wow. Action is really nice too , the 1 degree shim was perfect. I honestly did not expect results like this and am kind of blown away. I still have a couple of high frets to deal with and they all need a good polish but that'll be sorted at next string change cos i can live with it as is until then. £30 quid a bloody pop for strings damn sure i can wait. Parts used were Wilkinson bridge , pickup. Northwest guitars gold tuners and knobs, Stewmac wiring kit with cts pots. Strings are DR fat beams. Sound is heavenly. A friend who had a go today commented it's so quiet its like playing with a noise gate. For a first go i think i did alright.

Hi John

That is stunning! the colour , the shape , the fretboard...everything! 😲

Nothing for me since sunday either. Desktop , Win10 chrome, white theme Edit: this post was taking a long time to appear, hit refresh and it was there instantly

There are readily available converters on Amazon for around £20 at a quick glance. Can't link as I'm on my phone at work (shhh) and it's refusing to let me copy/paste here

I've bookmarked the site myself now too, hadn't heard of them until now. Thank you, I'm always keeping an eye out for a bargain. Apologies, on phone and can't get rid of this damn tick now... ☑️

Hi Dave!

I'm a sucker for a nice Jazz and that one is lovely!

That looks gorgeous , really nice i like that a lot

I had to google that model, but it would seem so yes! Its an Ltd phoenix 204 with severely corroded battery terminals

This is my first bass, its in the cupboard next to me. Its been neglected for a couple of years and guess who left a battery in it...

Very much looking forward to seeing the finished instrument, great colour too

For 50 quid you'd have been mad not to have bought it. Nice find

Just had a parcel delivered yesterday (Friday) and had no issues whatsoever. I would imagine any returns service would be similarly hassle free as well

I know when Brian Beller plays Dethklok stuff he is in C and uses the 4 lowest strings from a 5 set

They remind me of the time I walked past a full length mirror butt naked apart from socks. Not a good look for anyone and these remind me of that due solely to the painted headstock

The Squier VM jazz in my profile pic is unbelievable for the money. Can't remember exactly how much it was but I know I'd buy another in a heartbeat. All I changed was the strings and knobs, rest is stock and it really sings. One that has caught my eye is the Sire P5 for £325 or thereabouts, looks lovely with the roasted maple and meant to be fantastic with it.

I'm barely good enough to play the Squier i have, but if i had the disposable income to buy such an instrument , was single , had no kids.... yeah , i don't know. Thats a hard question. Removing any family responsibilities from the equation then yes , if i could afford one i'd buy one. Who said only pro players can have a pro bass. At the very least it would inspire me to pick it up a lot more and get better. I'll never be Les Claypool good but i'll sure as hell try if i was lucky enough to have my own Carl Thompson bass

In an exam situation , would this still be an A?
