I like Ken;s videos you can tell he's passionate about his company and i like that the tech's sign off each guitar - this is why i went on the road trip to have a go for myself

What the necks like on these? The main thing for me is a nice neck - then sound - as I find you play better and that improves your sound if you feel “at one” with the bass

Thanks for the tip - I’ve just bought a Fazley Outlaw Peacemaker in green which boasts an oiled body - rolled edge, roasted neck for £161! So mod platform inbound https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/electric-bass-guitars/fazley-outlaw-series-peacemaker-plus-red-electric-bass-guitar-with-gig-bag

There may have been there was about 30 basses there and as I got sidetracked by others but yeah not for me

So I woke up early and thought why don’t I make a 400 mile round trip up to Glasgow to go see the Reverend bass collection at Merchant City Music - I may have a problem - I’m selling most of my basses but keep seeing the buzz and Reverend - and had day free so hey. Anyway tried the Decision P which was ok - neck was alright but i can’t get over the extra offsetness of the bodies. Next I tried the Triad and it had 2 really really nice pickup options out of the 5 - the bridge pick up was thin but the neck and middle together was great. But the aesthetics are not for me. Whilst I was there, the staff were attentive but also let you get in with it. So I tried some more options- JMJ Mustang - yep good 👍 Nate Mendel P - awful set up and just wasn’t feeling it - FGN Jazz - didn’t note model about about £600 - very great playing neck - sounds good but not for me - then the Gold Foil Fender Jazz - WTF is going on with MIM Fender? The neck felt awful- £1300 to feel fret edges under binding - it just felt not worth it. Then at more than 6 times cheaper the SX P £200 - great neck - the pups had less output - but some good pickups and maybe bridge upgrade/ tuners could be a really useful back up. I stupidly didn’t have a go of the anniversary 4005 Ric- can’t afford it anyway. Had quick drive round the city then drive home £60 petrol and no bass bought but tempted to get an SX and upgrade it

£29.99 from RB Pillans (earlpilanz) on EBay - tons of colour options - took 2/3 weeks as made to order which is good https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/earlpilanz

I’m loving it - works for me

Feels like I’ve had this bass for a long time. Total keeper for the money - it’s quite dark sounding which I love - might try half-rounds on this instead of the la Bellas eventually

Yes it’s how a bass should feel - I’m doing a low key gig tonight and am thinking of taking it instead of the Starfire to try it at a gig

Can we get a GAS button? 😂

Not passive tho

Been sat playing mine all evening- just feels great - I keep looking for faults but just finding more tone - the mids are like a P on steroids

Rehearsed with it last night - yep does the job - loving the neck - might end up with groundwounds to up the bite - but thumpy goodness for sure
