@Cuzzie?!

A whole lotta bass for not a lotta money. Lovely things. GLWTS!

At last!

Fantastic cabs. GLWTS

Might be worth specifying the model in the thread title...?

In a different price category but the best standalone headphone amp of all time for bass is the Phil Jones BigHead. If you don’t want to pay full retail price, they do pop up once in a blue moon on the used market for around £100-ish.

Oh man...major GAS has been activated here! 

I’m currently staring at my bank balance willing it to increase 

Bloody hell this sounds good.

Why am I still GASing for this 

Mystery solved! Kind of...

Is there a photo available of the entire bass?

Surely there has been an error here and the photo of the headstock is in fact from a different bass altogether.

...surely?

Do you have any sound clips of this?

Ooh dont need but tempted

Same here!

I used to own 3 of these in various configurations. Now down to 1 but if it weren’t for Covid I’d still own all 3. Frankly the best P basses I’ve ever played. GLWTS sir!

These are still here??

Oooh

Lakland 4460.

+1 to this. Such great basses. GuitarGuitar.co.uk often seem to have their Laklands on sale. Worth checking them out every now and then.

Fantastic strings at a very good price. I’d be buying these myself if I didn’t already have a set!

Very cool!

A handsome beast. Glad this went to a basschatter!

Just to add that when the factory strings die on my Xotic XJ 5er, I’ll be buying another set of Elixir nickels for it. I’m not one who delights in changing strings all the time (unless it’s rounds to flats/tapes or vice-versa for a completely different tone) so these are a no brainer.

Great, thanks, I’m going to give them a twirl on the jazz. I’m guessing the panto is covid dependent so fingers crossed for you. 

Thanks man, yeah it’s COVID dependent - hopefully by November it’ll be doable!

Re: the strings, I’d really recommend them, they feel nice under the fingers and sound the way good strings should. I got the Nickels so can’t comment on the steels from personal experience, but I’m sure they’re just as good if steels are your flavour of choice.

How are they (or did they) hold up?

They’re great. Can’t say I’ve noticed a change in tone to be honest. I recently changed to TI Flatwounds on the bass they were on (purely for the tonal variety of having a bass with flats) but it’s nice to know they’ll still sound good when I put them back on. I potentially have a long gig at the end of the year - a Panto in Wales with 8 performances a week for 2 months - that’ll be a serious test for the Elixirs as my hands sweat quite a bit when playing live!
