  1. Ahh, can't believe i've never seen that before! Have a bump!
  2. A shuker I saw was 10lbs roughly which I guess is good for a 6 string, just wondered if any came in at 9lbs
  3. [quote name='Conan' post='1027924' date='Nov 18 2010, 01:52 PM']My Cort Curbow 5 is very light, so I don't imagine a six would be much heavier...[/quote] I'd like to try a roscoe one day, but I could never afford it. I reckon the Ibanez would be pretty much the same as the Cort. The Curbow however!! I saw a cracking player at Cardiff Bass Bash on a 6 string version, perhaps that was why he bought it.
  4. I really enjoyed playing a cort a6 which I should have never sold. However it really bugged my shoulder!! I never weighed it, but I was just wondering what is the lightest 6 string for the small guys?
  5. Only way to improve that is a new tortoise shell pickguard. Absolute blinder, don't how you get your basses to shine so much more than mine
  6. I don't understand why this has a natural maple top i've never seen one before. I though DC stands for double cut?
  7. That looks a stonker! I do love the paisley finish, for men with big cojones. Really nice figuring on the neck too. I didn't know of a Fender Japan Custom shop till this. The single coil P basses have a real something tonewise I can't put my finger on. Thanks for putting up the pics!
  8. [quote name='AndyTravis' post='1024120' date='Nov 14 2010, 11:13 PM']Well, offer stands...[/quote] Duly noted. And a fantastic offer it is too!
  9. [quote name='AndyTravis' post='1024011' date='Nov 14 2010, 09:25 PM']I'm not 100% on what you mean Oli?[/quote] Just that I canni afford the extra work i'd want to do to it, unless the ESP goes and I decide to stick with bass permanently. I love the jazz setup when its fretless, it probably tops the precision tone.
  10. [quote name='AndyTravis' post='1023833' date='Nov 14 2010, 07:51 PM']Bravewood?[/quote] BUMP! For something as nice as that you'd be looking for an overwater defret/setup which cost me £140 on a Cort A4! And that was before they raised their prices
  11. If I had this i'd defret it and it'd be incredible, not that it isn't already!!
  12. They have a flawless B string, but make sure your used to the 35" scale first! I had no problem with it but its definately essential for tension and clarity. I had a 4 string USA Cirrus and it played anything I wanted it to.
  13. [quote name='MB1' post='1021865' date='Nov 12 2010, 07:54 PM']MB1. Devina (i want rich and nourished blonde hair?) Mcall? [/quote] Haha that'd be the beaky moo, hangin around like a bad smell it seems - thought she'd disappear along with Big Brother, whatta dreamer!
  14. I like to see the grain through the paint (sunburst), or I also like the relic'd thing. If its a nice wood its awesome (e.g. Poplar) but natural Alder or Ash to me looks cheap and uncomplete. I also don't like pale wood basses but thats personal preference
  15. Reason I bought my Tele bass because of the Jethro Tull one, tone!!!
  16. [quote name='jonthebass' post='1018654' date='Nov 10 2010, 12:18 PM']ugh - Unwanted GAS. Thanks f*ck I'm skint [/quote] I know the feeling but its a good'un - a first rate vintage style precision without the baggage. It'll quickly become anyones flagship bass even a Jazzer.
  17. Gonna go for a sale now at £1100, justification for price above - firm and non negotiable. In no hurry to sell. Just giving it another review: The bass holds its own at really high volumes, no boxey bolt on break up. Unbelievably solid and resonant with fantastic sustain (without foam) - Really does sound like a piano on every note. The only thing anyone could criticize this bass for is whether or not you like the realistic worn finish...helps the tone/playability a lot though
  18. PM's replied - Fretless basses involving at least one jazz pickup are the only bass trades i'd consider. Primarily looking for guitar gear only.
  19. Muhahaha! No!! No! I really didn't - I swear on Devina McCall's life
