    I've a potential buyer for the E and A but don't really want to be left with two strings so if you happen to be in the market for the D and G please let me know 👍

    A very interesting piece, bass and drums extracted from two different recordings of two different tracks 👍
  3. Beedster
    Thanks Tony 👍
  4. Beedster
    That's a beauty, a real beauty 👍

    Interesting and interested. It would be useful to see a photo of the whole instrument built up?
  6. Beedster
    It is yes 👍

    Wow.

    Ah, is she miming the vocal, I didn't spot that, in which case I take back my earlier comment about her being more talented than me

    Wow.

    Is she more talented than me? Yes Does that mean it was good? Not really Does that mean she’s wrong to post it? No

    It's a while since I owned one (I've had two) but you might find that if you take the pickguard off you'll see something closer to the original colour

    Many thanks @Linus27, look forward to listening this evening 👍

    Although I actually think you're gonna need two fretless basses
  12. Beedster
    That's the bottom line, informed trial and error is always the best bet 👍
  13. Beedster
    I'm very keen to hear that also @Linus27

    Find the core tone you want and work on things from there, I prefer the core tone of flats on fretless, but find TIs a little too flexible for FL, while for example La Bella Deep Talkin' Flats would be way to stiff (and I'm no fan of nylon strings for anything other than a very specific tone, one that I certainly wouldn't think of as versatile in any way). I do have a fretless strung with rounds and there are moments where I prefer it them, but if I had to make the choice it would be flats. Good luck 👍

    Seller thinks they’re being clever 🤔

    Love that track @Dad3353

    I had one of these about 5 years back, without doubt one of the best instruments I've ever owned and had it been a 4-string it might have stayed with me. At every level of scrutiny - and assuming it's similar to mine - this is a very very good bass 👍
  18. Beedster
    Can I take those @briansbrew

    Pretty standard mod and, assuming you've got half decent PUPs, it's a gamechanger for the bass (not everyone likes the game, but none the less it changes it). If I were doing it for the first time I's wait for one to come up used on here and buy, that way if you don't like it you can move it on for what you paid 👍

    Damn, would have loved this @pete.young, until relatively recently I was commuting to Colchester from Kent as well. Bit too far now i'm not Hope you find the right person soon 👍

    Salutary lesson about the value we place on things and the value others place on them. Makes me very sad when I see eBay listings from some old-timer who thinks his old ......... is a family heirloom but which, in real terms, there is no longer a market. The world simply doesn't value the old, the inconvenient, or the unfashionable any more. It's a very sad reflection of digital-age values, and quite likely something that will punish future generations in terms of the sheer waste of resources and associated creation of pollution involved

    I'm finding a lot of retail folk seem to be adopting a similar approach, acting as if every stage of your interaction with them is a form of 'service' or 'event' worthy of praise and/or feedback.

    Some bits of wood really do have serious mojo 👍

    Someone in online music retail refusing to accept it's their mistake, who'd have thought it 🤔
