  1. Different body shape, different neck profiles, different string spacing.
  2. Pewter. Estimated age 2007/8
  3. Only user reporting it.
  4. Wow you got the Strat done in a matching sofa paintjob.
  5. To be honest I don't really have the time.
  6. Possibly. The saddles can move sideways but not sure about how much you could get away with.
  7. https://www.thomann.de/gb/5_string_p_basses.html?sw=Marcus Miller P7&smuuid=5cc176ca-1550-46f7-8469-80728489e326
  8. I'm far too fickle to assume i'll keep what ever i'd order from a custom luthier, and the depreciation on them is shocking (and the marketplace is flooded with boutique customs currently). I'd get a couple of £1500 ones instead, if not 3 x 2nd hand good ones.
  9. Update: Fender Precision, Dingwall NG-3, Fender Marcus Miller Jazz, Yamaha RBX775.
  10. This is equally hideous: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/181108334549003--fender-custom-shop-post-modern-p-bass-black-burst-spalted-maple And the price 🤔
  11. Uhoh.
  12. If you sell on commision you have to pay it all up front and recover the cost as it sells, but will get more money back than a pure trade.
  13. Because capitalism is what is driving the demand for the highly priced instruments.
  14. I'm not a massive economics scholar, but Hegel's Thesis/Antithesis/Synthesis does suggest it is inevitable, as well as circular.
  15. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminishing_returns
  16. Withdrawn.
  17. I'd have them on all my basses but just too expensive for me for the benefit.
  18. Hmm. In a fire i'd be grabbing the Miller to be honest.
  19. Well I had a bit of a splurge in 2018 after selling my house. Dingwall NG-3 - Wanted an NG for a while. Absolute stonker of a bass and does everything is should, purple is quite different, unsure if the colour works for me in long term. An Orange NG-2 may suit me more. Fender Marcus Miller Jazz - First played one in 2004. Always missed out/didn't have the cash at the time so this was an overdue acquisition. Darkglass Alpha Omicron - Somewhat of a necessary partner to the Dingwall. Haven't used it much yet but did get it for a good price.
  20. Apologies, can't make this as have my lad with me that weekend,.
  21. Poor analogy, as Fender have a wide range of products at every price point and could easily do this whereas Modulus could not.
  22. Oh go on then. I'll bring my Trace Elliot Elf / Eich XS112, along with Dingwall NG-3 with Darkglass Alpha Omicron.
