  1. You know you could be banned for having showed this... Nice work, that said and I like some Béla Fleck from time to time. 😉
  2. Sounds very promising, except with the Full Circle... The electric bass sounds good too through this amp. Following this with great interest.
  3. For those wanting a graphite neck at a silly price, here is a 26 frets Moses Jazz Bass neck and you can even get a whole bass including an original Kahler tremolo for ... 500 Euros. https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/jb-bass-mit-carbonhals.61515/
  4. A funny anecdote: As, back then, nobody wanted a Wal anymore, I traded my MkI fretless for a fretted Trace Elliot T-Bass (excellent bass) and I should have kept it, I mean the Trace Elliot, not the Wal even if they are highly overpriced these days.
  5. You can also add Acacia (I owned one) and David King (I owned two) basses.
  6. Indeed, but it's not up to the quality of sound of an original and I've owned each and every model (fretted, fretless, 4 and 5 in all iterations) along the years. 😉
  7. That said, the original Ibanez Affirma (AFR) designed by the late Rolph Spuler is becoming rarer these days.
  8. https://snarenshop.nl/rotosound-sbl110-losse-bassnaar-110.html https://www.muziker.ie/rotosound-sbl-110 Both have them in stock.
  9. Or turned them into firewood.
  10. I truly think intonating the G string will be a problem with modern strings that are far better crafted nowadays than when it was designed, and especially with todays round wound strings. It was designed to take into account the poorly made flat wound strings of that period...

    Yep, and it's often the case with everything as these items seem to be reviewed by small people for that reason, to make you think they are bigger than expected. 😉 Enjoy your new toy. 😊
  12. There was a fretless Atlansia for sale on here not long ago, was tempted... The Kleins do appear from time to time, and each time, I want to buy one, but don't.
  13. The Zon Hyperbass is on my wanted list... I tried a brand new one around 30 years ago and I really liked it, but not its price tag...
  14. Yep, they are rare, but not to the level they are supposed to be, think Wishbass with a truss rod, so a very expensive lamp... And don't read what Ken Smith says about him, even if they shared the basement workshop for some time, I don't know who is the more selfish.
  15. Not so rare, I had a few and sold them here before Breakshít.
  16. These string won't work with magnetic pickups as they need their magnetic field to be perturbated to produce a tension (induction) that can be amplified, hence metallic strings. That said, it will work with the integrated piezo pickup.
  17. Mine looks like this, it took 20 years of chasing to find this very one.
  18. It's an original feature, but it's not systematic as you can have notched on the treble side, notched on bass side, notched on both sides, and not notched at all tuners. Furthermore, these types of tuners can be mixed. The interesting thing is that, thanks to these notched tuners, you can narrow the dating to the pre-CBS era, if they are squared notched tuners.
  19. The Vigier Arpège Delta Metal is a pretty rare bird too.
  20. BassLab basses are super duper rare too, thankfully I own one.
  21. Remember that without any pressure on the top, the soundpost will have a tendency to fall, so you would need an access (hole) or the skill to put the post in place like the classical luthiers. Unless you use this adjustable soundpost (start at 2:20 to avoid the presentation): https://www.anima-nova.de/english-1/the-soul/
  22. As some original are too. Look my previous posts above.
  23. And here notched on both sides, same supplier again:
  24. This is not a reissue, but an original model from Andy Baxter's website. And here is another's oddity, notched on the treble side, but not on the bass side, again an original from the same supplier:
