That’s a shame the store is closed , because there’s not many places left now where you can actually try things out, the Romford store is more equipped for studio equipment but they have a good selection of basses and a nice practice room 🙂
When I was looking for a 62 RI jazz, there was only 2 for sale with the spec I wanted, one was in Australia and the other was in Dirk Witte Amsterdam , which I bought with no problems and it arrived 3 days later.
That was a bargain lownote, ☝️ I also have the Ashdown mag head , and the 115 deep cab (on the right) and the markbass ny 115 , which I mix n match, even the mags compressor isn’t bad.
I really only use labella LTF’s , so I know the measurement from ball end to silk , but if I’m buying new strings I try to get the string length specs up to be sure, as I’ve been caught out a few times .
I’ve been in their shop in Romford many times to try basses they are quite a reputable company, but I’ve never bought anything online , I would have thought you will be fine 🙂
This is what I do now, and I find it works really well, I get really obsessive if I can’t nail a bass part , so if I find myself getting frustrated I take a break and come back to it until I’ve got it down 🙂
I missed out on a 78 P bass with an A neck, I really wanted, a while ago because I hesitated for a day, if it’s something you really want, just go for it 🙂
i started playing this last night and in this video he uses open strings, I tried this and I preferred fretting the notes, do any of you peeps play this, and what do you do, cheers 🙂
