    How high is your action? It’s almost certainly your intonation but if the strings are too high it will always be out as you play higher up the neck.

    Thanks, they are great basses, well made and distinctive with the f hole.

    Spector Spectorcore with chambered maple topped body weighing 3.5kg and a lined ebony fingerboard, 35” scale. Amberburst gloss finish. EMG pickup and Fishman piezo bridge. Strung with LaBella low tension flats. Good condition, one screw missing on back access plate, it broke early on and the plate is marked where I had get the screw out. See photo. Would consider a trade for a reasonably lightweight Precision, not necessarily Fender, either fretted or fretless 4 string preferred but not necessarily. Open to suggestions.

    If only I needed another 5 string bass! Great looker, love the light weight, but I must resist, I must. GLWS

    Thank you FDC48450. That’s very helpful, if even more than I thought.

    I’m sure this must have been covered before, but having searched I can’t find a thread, and it may have changed post Brexit. I know if I buy from Japan I will have to pay VAT. There is also import duty but I can’t figure out the % from the government’s website. Is it 4.5%? Are the taxes and duties also based on price and shipping cost? Can anyone enlighten me?

    Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. It has an enormous boot ( 660 sq.ft. I think ).

    Hideous, why did they bother?

    Can I add some questions. Having played BG for more years than I can remember, my wife and I were enjoying a jazz trio where the bass player was using the Yamaha SLB and she said “why don’t you get one of those?” She’s never suggested buying an instrument before so I think I’ll take her at her word. I have a small car so size is a concern. The Yamaha and the BSX breakdown but I imagine that reassembling at a gig can be a bit of a bore so I am also looking at the NS and Ibanez versions, but how do others find the very small body? The “wings” on the Yamaha seem a necessary part to stabilise the bass. I’ve also seen an Aria SWB lite at a decent price but does any one have any views, I’m not sure it will be small enough to get it in my car either. What would BCers suggest / advise?

    The T also looks very similar to the Tanglewood logo.

    I’m shocked. A Mike Lull with a dodgy neck! When you spend that sort of money for a “quality “ bass, you should be able to rely on it performing the functions it was made for.
