    Well given that most other posts are either "Bass Direct are great and here's why" or "Bass Direct are stinky poo and here's why", thank god for tangents 👍

    Interesting question, care to share the answer?

    This is a recent purchase from Bass Direct that is probably not going to work out for me either live or in the studio, which is a little disappointing as it's a stunning instrument, with build quality, finish, and playability at or above that of Fender Custom Shop or of a very good luthier (which of course Sims are). If you've ever seen a refinish by Martin, you'll know just how good Enfield finishes are, and the neck really sits at the interface of art and engineering, it's lovely. And of course, it has the amazing quad PUPs! But I feel about this much as I did about my fretless Wal 12 years back, an outstanding instrument on every level, just not quite the instrument for me. Having said that, I play it a lot and enjoy doing so, so I'm not going to get stressed if it doesn't sell (in fact I was going to try it as a fretted instrument for a while before I let it go but I have a fretted bass that meets all my needs so that would probably only have delayed the inevitable). It has the SIMs neck LEDs which I've yet to use as, embarrassingly, I couldn't work out how to turn them on, and a rather easy to remove magnetic cavity cover which makes battery replacement very simple. I'd prefer collection from just outside Whitstable, Kent, but can post also Original listing is at https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Enfield_Fusion_Fretless.html Pics are from the Bass Direct listing but are accurate and current 👍

    Wow, just wow, many thanks Chris, I've really struggled with some sections - and as you can see from the O/P for over 13 years - so this is going to make my life so much easier! Much appreciated. Chris 👍

    Thanks @agedhorse, I'm rather enjoying being back in the Boogie Gang 👍

    Thanks so much for that mate, really helpful. Looks like I'm sorted for the time being on this (got lucky with a used H2N here). Why I sold my old H2N is beyond me

    Whatever it is, I'd kill to get that tone. Interesting that live tone is nowhere near and very electric by comparison?

    Thanks for all the replies above guys, good to hear that unlike some other territories, buying from Japan appears to be a consistently positive experience 👍

    Thanks Steve, yes there are a LOT of dealers there, I've not bought from Japan and I'm guessing things are a little different there. It seems that in the US (e.g., Talkbass) buying from Japanese dealers is very common, but less so in the UK and I'm feeling a little out of my depth on this. Despite the bass being around half the UK price (although I have to factor in duty/VAT etc), it's still a lot of cash to part with....

    Thanks for posting Frank 👍

    Do you have any sound clips Jonny?
  19. Beedster
    I'm after a Yamaha SLB300 and keep missing those that arrive in UK stores (missed one at Bass Direct and at Bass gallery). It seems they're a whole lot cheaper in Japan and a lot of the sellers offer free shipping also so not only might I get an SLB300 a lot quicker which would help with a few gigs coming up - I'm being told new stock in 2023 by UK shops - but I might also get one cheaper 👍

    There's a moment in Fans by Kings of Leon when I'm sure that this guy, singer Caleb Followill....... Mentions this guy, the gloriously talented French Rugby star Imanol Harinordoquy No idea why he would really...... 🤔
