    New bass day

    Duroc17 replied to Duroc17's topic in Bass Guitars

    I did sell it- that was very thumpy and has a wider neck - might get a long scale one one day. I’ve always liked Mustangs though
  2. Duroc17
    Just got one of the new FSR Squier Mustangs as I miss having a short scale. Forgot how small the necks were prefer chunkier Vintera. But at this price point set up is great out of the box. Very low action, intonation 90% there already. It’s fun and colours look great. Now waiting on the postie with GHS flats to get some thumpy tones
  3. Duroc17
    Thomann have them in stock. But I’ve just order GHS Light flats less money than la Bella but 32” seen good reviews so thought I’d try those

    la bella do mustang flats La Bella 760F-MUS Deep Talkin Bass - they say on the blurb made for string thru - i had them on my 66 and 77 and Vintera mustangs - just ordered the Squier FSR Orange- so will get some la bellas again

    PM'd you
  6. Duroc17
    you'll like la bellas then imo they have more tension, i really love the TIs were my go to for years but last 2 basses used la bellas great tone better than TI, less clack but i'd prefer a lower tension like TIs as i play really soft and like the action low as poss but tone is all for me - so la bellas win this round

    For me it's a frame of reference to bass sounds on records from the 70s that I like, like David Hood's Muscle Shoals work, flatwounds, quite muddy sounding, or Superfly bassline by Joseph Scott (Jazz bass with flats) - I dont really listen to a lot of 50s stuff apart from Jazz but that's mainly double bass, though i'd like to get more into Monk Montgomery's electric bass stuff. It's based on 54/6 as I guess that's when the contour came in on the body

    I did ask for 4 saddle but then went old school and it’s intonated ok - I don’t go up the dusty end much - maybe the odd chord. That said I wanted the truss rod at the top, so I could get at it - so not too traditional

    I’d been thinking about it for too long so had to try it. Got an idea for another down the line
  10. Duroc17
    Had this made by James Mitchell in Electric Relic Co in Bath Lot of thought went into what i wanted - aftermarket natural 54 contour body in alder not ash, chunky neck no fake logo, hand wound Fralin pickup, cloth wiring, 0.10 orange drop capacitor, old bridge, low tension La Bella flats and then let James do his thing - had to tweak it a bit since getting it and had one proper rehearsal but love the thing already - took 8 weeks from order to delivery approx and sold 2 basses to pay for it - inc one PB that I loved - but I'm happy - it's fairly lightweight and sounds like the 70s - I doubt i'd have the money if this was original - it wasn't cheap but it's a lovely thing

    This is the by far best P i've ever owned (of all the basses i've had) - mojo city - when I got it it needed serious work for the price I paid- got the neck straightening and electrics sorted - needed new volume pot - the knurled knobs are reliced ones from Netherlands as someone put on witch hats that looked awful - I got set up with TI flats and it's the lowest action ever (the video below was supporting Peter Bruntnell and Pete their bassist said it was the lowest action he'd seen and loved the bass) - just plays like a dream but due to stupid GAS i'm funding a custom build (dream 50s P with my slant on it) - so I'm selling this (my band are going to not let me forget this due to my gushing about this bass - but I can only have on P at a time -i'll read this back in a year and realise i'm an idiot but GAS is real) it deserves to be gigged and recorded. It weighs about 8lbs and is pretty light - the pickups are superb - super P sound - the frets are about 80% still great. I've put on a black scratchplate but comes with original red tort one. No gig bag As you'll see for them pics that it has aged beautifully - you'll also notice dings - scratches where there used to be an ugly sticker - it was imported from Japan (duh the CIJ bit obv but stickers were awful) but on the front there's what i think is a pretty cool sticker and considering i play alt-country and the colours go with the cream scheme. Some people will be put off by this, whereas if you're like me it just adds to it and makes it unique and be hard to nick and sell on. Price reflects this as i'm taking a bit of a hit on it after luthier work, pot, knobs plate and flats cost. I have a fender box i can ship anywhere to uk inc in price - though happy to knock off £25 for collection or within 30 mile meet up

    Hear it here (here hare here)

    Selling this lovely sunburst arch top Rivoli 98 reissue in great condition from Peerless factory- set up with low tension la Bella flats (my new fave string topping TI flats) the tone is superb and I’m only selling has the neck feels too narrow for my meaty big paws - it’s a pity but I prefer a wider neck. It’s 38mm at nut and about 8lbs in weight The baritone switch has been taken off the circuit. One thing to note the jack needs a locking washer - it loosens occasionally but only a tad - there if you stand in front of amp there’s a hum like 60hz but if you angle away then quiet. Might find if locking washer might get better connection - it’s not a major issue but I believe in stating everything in the ad Comes with hard case and scratch plate which I’ll reinstall Priced to sell £600 firm price - £20 delivery to uk or pick up/ meet up Clitheroe or North UK - an hours drive from Clitheroe acceptable Thanks for looking any questions let me know.
