    I believe it’s 41.73” - essentially the same as a 3/4 double bass. There are probably experts who know more than me!

    Here’s a lovely thing, my NS Wav 4 Bass. It’s the made on a China model but don’t let that put you off, it’s a beautiful instrument. I’ve had it 6 months but have changed to a Far West bass which is more like a DB (to me at least). The NS stand was awful, so I’ve swapped it for a really solid Pearl stand which functions perfectly. It’s a much harder-wearing stand, which means the bass is more stable and doesn’t sway (a problem I had with a previous Wav bass I owned). The strings are standard and, because I wanted the bass as a DB substitute, is set high. But this can be lowered. I’m happy to discuss trades. Based in Bristol, and no chance I’ll send this (unless you’re happy to pay the £40 quid it would cost me to do so). It comes with the padded case which is also in good condition.

    All that time and effort to be a flawless replica of someone else. I don’t really get that, but this is 100% nailed on awesome rendition. Well done to him.

    The clearout continues... All come with CDs and are in good condition, although have been used so a few marks etc. Standing in the shadows - £10 Portrait of Jaco - £8 Jazz Bass - £8 The others are all £5 each. Postage not included but should be about £2.80

    Bump. Price drop to 50 including postage and mains adaptor.

    Oh, and as for buying British I don’t think Brexit will change my purchasing habits. It’s more important for me to support local retailers than manufacturers (many of whom sell stuff made in a China anyway). That said I’d love to try an ACG.

    My gigging rig used to be two DR103s and two SE412 cabs. Quite how I found the energy to even lift a bass after lugging all that around I have no idea. Total bloody madness. It sounded monstrous (in a 60s style) but I much prefer my Aguilar/AER and Markbass stuff. Not that I’m gigging anymore really...

    I know I keep posting here but this is a truly exceptional Stingray in a very rare colour. Oh, and it plays amazingly well too.

    This is a brilliant book.
  11. Burns-bass
    How did they rip them off? I’m intrigued more than anything.
  12. Burns-bass
    On the balance of 4 pages, I’d say no.

    Ask them to order it and it'll be with you in a few weeks. Libraries regularly share books, it's why they're 100% amazing.

    Was on hold. Then off hold. Then on hold. Then off hold. (Keeping up?!) Still for sale!
  15. Burns-bass
    On hold

    He produces it, someone shares it, more people watch it, he earns money, we all scratch our heads wondering why we bother = internet.

    This is all solid knowledge, and why I love Basschat. The bass probably is a good buy, but weighing it all up (quite literally given the bass was on the heavy side!) I decided on the SS Jaguar. I tried it and found it a nice weight and well balanced, and about half the price (with the VAT off).
  18. Burns-bass
    Cheers Jono, brilliant info. In the end I decided to order my daughters a new Jaguar bass which I can use. The shape felt better in the shop and I get VAT off so it’s all good.
  19. Burns-bass
    Yeah, that’s good advice. I hadn’t ever seen one of these mini jazz basses before, hence me being interested in opinions. It seems they’re quite scarce which either means they’re rare and desirable or junk. I’ll sleep on it.
  20. Burns-bass
    I asked for advice precisely because I haven’t decided...
  21. Burns-bass
    It wanted advice as to whether the bass was worth the price, what people had found during ownership, how it compares to other short scales etc. Hopefully that helps.
  22. Burns-bass
    If we all thought like that out economy would never grow... It’s a fair point. To explain further, I thought it might be a good bass to have for the future for my kids to learn on and to have around the house and to use at practices. I currently only have one electric i use (my 1966 is stuck under a bed), so thought I might be a good back up. This is what I class as not really needing something.
  23. Burns-bass
    Good point. Jazz bass.
  24. Burns-bass
    I can’t see why you’d bother. Just keep it and then sell it the next time and Eminence comes up for sale...
  25. Burns-bass
    Right, advice needed. I’ve found a modern player shortscale. It has refinished in black and fitted with hipshots and Seymour Duncan’s. Needs a clean and a set up but I can do all that. It’s £300. I don’t really need it, but it played nicely. Any advice from current owners on whether they’re worth it etc.?
