  1. Yes, plus they look good and this is a very nice finish too
  2. Hi Chris, could you tell me Something: I used to own a Blackstone 5 but had concerns about the neck's stability. In fact it has a slight bow even when no strings on. The guy behind the brand (I forgot his name) told me it happened sometimes and that he could mill a truss rod channel and install one, but in fact he gave no sign of life quite soon). I ended up selling the bass cheap (around E 600) -mentioning my concern- though the sound was really really good . Did you notice this slight bow with no strings on too?
  3. Very nice instrument. Pro level for sure. Propain's Gary Meskill also used one too back in the early 9O's
  4. Owning the 8" model, I highly recommend this piece of gear. True bliss for the bassist on the move.
  5. Amazing playing/ beautiful sound.! I'm amazed Ovation already used carbon back in the 70's: is it the black part of the neck's back ? What is the weight, please?
  6. Very nice. btw looks more like honeyburst to me (which I prefer). Not very red for a cherry. Or did it fade a bit?
  7. Nice you posted that, I've even seen the boss of a big music shop, and former bassist, very experienced man about guitars, ruining a set of strings (one actually) in front of me some years ago. Quite typical, said he. This bridge is quite a PITA, I Believe Some years ago the Factors were very much cheaper on the second hand market, it's a bit pricey now.
  8. Japanese Fenders are quite a GAS and a fashion too. They tend to be a bit overpriced now and though they are often very good Indeed I had one or two that were very mediocre. @gottastopbuyinggear : The copper one sounded great, but maybe not the white one
  9. A white or chrome cover, a lipstick or bronco type PU would have been nicer IMO.
  10. I agree with Andy, this JB pickup is aesthetically a shame.
  11. Very nice but the spec sheet isn't the right one: these RW , unlike the older cheaper ones, are finished in nitro, has the fendass bridge, etc. What is the weight please?
  12. I've learned Something today. Thanks.
  13. I Don't get how one can make a top with holly. I only figure holly as a bush with red balls It is superb anyway.
  14. When he's sober, I confirm. Wish it was fretted, it's gorgeous.
  15. Reminds me of the little girl hearing a Toad near a pond : "Hey, I'm a musician, I've been cursed by a witch, just kiss me, I'll become normal again and marry you …". Then the girl just puts him in her Pocket, and goes away, saying "I'll earn way more money with a speaking Toad".
  16. Oh my, it's a big one! What a beauty!
  17. Very very nice. Tu nous l'as cachée, celle-là?
