    Tell the shop, maybe they'll send you a free set of strings or something for your inconvenience of fixing it. Saves them having to pay to courier it back and to send out a new one. But ultimately, if its a dead simple, noninvasive fix, then doing it yourself saves everyone hassle.

    Very handsome sir!

    I think you're right, I've googled them from time to time but found very little other than my own posts about them and another post on TalkBass I think about a red one. If you can find one, snap it up! I've had mine in constant use for well over a decade (maybe closer to 13/14 years) and it hasn't even broke a sweat. No fraying, no loose stitching, absolutely nothing! Quite remarkable really...

    Then sir, definitely get a 6! The high C on a 6 string bass really opens up what you can do, especially for chord shapes and adding great melody. These days when I pick up the one 4 string I have left I am almost totally lost as almost everything I play uses both the C and B of a 6er. If you can learn 5, you can learn 6! 😁

    Don't you mean 'wal' made...* OK, OK... I'm leaving. *it looks slightly like a Wal.

    A Cort Artisan A5 is in budget, and they're excellent basses. But as many have echoed - there's a good few excellent 5ers at great prices in the for sale section. Why not buy one of those that takes your fancy, play it for 6 months and either sell it if you don't get on with it and go back to 4, or keep it... or sell it and buy another 5. Either way you won't loose money.

    @BillyBass - you're looking at this all wrong... ...get a 6 string bass!
  8. binky_bass
    Never! This is BassChat! We go all in or we don't bother. 😁

    They're definitely more expensive than a pedal sure, but in comparison to other amps, £975 for an Italian made 1400w dual channel (and that's 1400w through one channel) with built in tuner and a very usable overdrive is pretty decent! And all weighing a mere 3.5kg. And it swerves the need for adding a pedal to the chain!

    I have the Dual 1400 and it's killer. It'll certainly do what you want.

    I didn't think so! I had an inkling that was you in the Wal beanie... I'll actually say hi next time I see you!
  12. binky_bass
    In that case I saw you in 'the office' on the day I took that picture!
  13. binky_bass
    How dare you. But yes. Do you own a Wal beanie by any chance?
  14. binky_bass
    These two, plus the GR rig and Helix are my absolute staples at the mo until my next ACG arrives in a few weeks.

    Estrella. I came into possession of an estrella gig bag via a deal with @nobodysprefect near on 10 years ago and it VERY happily houses Binky (my 10 string) and my Conklin (8 string) with zero issues. Excellent bags!

    I am excruciatingly tempted to buy it and string it righty... £800 is literally pennies on the pound for this. A spec like this today would be north of £3.5k so at this price you're getting 77% off the cost of a new one!
  17. binky_bass
    These two are the super painful ones... A Nordstrand NX6 and Jean Baudin's Conklin PacMan 9.

    That link takes me to a strange, apparently hand made, bongo type bass...
  20. binky_bass
    And a near 4 year wait would also be a massive no! I am however looking forward to hearing what you can do with the finished product!

    You can't unfortunately, you'll need to create a new advert and ask a moderator to delete this thread.

    Aucun problème! C'est une belle basse

    Translation: I part with this beautiful Alleva Coppolo LM5 from 2010 bought in 2013 from an Italian (Roberto from the GrooveMania store). I don't have much to say again about what has already been said about Alleva Coppolo… It is really monstrous sound level! SARKY PUPPY's Michael League sometimes plays with an Alleva Coppolo. It's really against my heart that I part with it but such is life. Alleva Coppolo LM5 Transparent white finish (super pretty because you can see the natural side of the wood) a real vintage 70s Jazz Bass made by luthier Jimmy Coppolo. ash body, Maple fingerboard, Maple neck, Bead block and white binding, 34' scale length, 1 7/8' nut, Vintage tapered neck, 10' radius, 19mm spacing, Placement of microphones from the 1970s, Handmade Alleva Coppolo pickups, Handmade 2-band Alleva Coppolo preamp, Custom Alleva Coppolo Hipshot tuners. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information. A rare to find Alleva Coppolo bass for this model which is beautiful with a monstrous big sound.

    Nice, that was my first bass too! Yamaha RBX170 I believe?
  25. binky_bass
    Yes. The cat's out of the bag... it is I... BOJO!!! And I shall smite you all!!! (Also, I'd argue YOU'RE the government representative, editing my post to best suit your agenda!) 😂
