Assuming you wanted the bass, would you buy a 5 string that weighed 10.4lbs?
-
Oh no.....a bass I've wanted for a while has become available. £2k+ though.....what to do!?!
I should probably go try it and hope that it's rubbish haha -
Just been quoted £100 for a custom tort Precision style pickguard lol

@Sibob I know nothing about it either, so maybe they can! But to cut a bevel round an irregular shape would be tricky, no? Again I don't know, being a Luddite. It used to be all trees round here... 🌳🌳
-
@discreet But.....but....computers?!?!?

I thought I could get away with buying a 3 ply white/black/white scratchplate for my Fender Precision Deluxe, for £30, and leave it in the sunshine to try getting it to a parchment kinda colour. Still waiting.... Its been like 6 months! The alternative was buying a Parchment Scratchplate but it wsa 3 times the price before it even got here from the USA!

@Marc S You're quite right, certainly don't need it....but always been curious about Mustangs. Think it's going to be fantastic for recording and gigs where we don't have much space to transport gear. Also my wife has taken on some bass gigs, so will be perfect for her too (she plays a Mustang guitar).

Something nice in the post!!

@Bridgehouse You win it all, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

@discreetIt’s only an 80’s bass if it’s headless and white with black hardware!
-
Just picked up some KZ-ZS10 Pro in-ear monitors for £42 from Amazon. 5 driver per side, very impressed with them for the price!

These are excellent - very detailed sound and comfortable to wear. I've used some of the packaging to store them in a small plastic box in my gig box.
Thanks for the tip @Sibob

Just realised I've been on Basschat for 11 years ....not to mention it's previous guises!

@discreetWas on Bassworld too, although don’t recall how long that was for!

Been playing my Lakland 55-01 almost exclusively over the last couple of weeks (through necessity for an upcoming gig), and it's just brilliant. These hit so far above their weight for the money!!

The US models have a much more vast selection of woods available to choose from, quarter-sawn necks (more stable) etc etc. But they can cater for a lot more than I think people realise, so for example; want your 55-02 but with two humbuckers instead of the J, or a P and a humbucker, or three humbuckers!?! They'll likely be able to hook you up with a custom 55-94. Want a passive 44-94 with a P/J setup, they'll build it.....that's what I got :). They built a very cool short-scale Decade with MM/J pickups for a guy in america, sonic blue colour, no scratch plate, looks like the lovechild of a 44-94 & a Decade, really cool.
-
Sure, they have amazing custom options etc, I mean more in terms of pure function. It's hard to beat the 55-02 for what I want in a 5 string, especially with the US pickups & pre-amp, it being pleckd, then getting installed/finished/QC'd in Chicago.
I am SURE if I had the spare cash I could easily find something truly amazing from Lakland USA!
-
Oh absolutely, don't get me wrong, the Skyline stuff, for the most part, is amazing if the spec fits your needs. I would only 'upgrade' my 55-01 to a custom 55-94 with two humbuckers if I had a fair bit of money to burn.......which is never going to be the case I imagine haha, just because the 55-01 is excellent.
-
Had a dream that I bought an SGC Nanyo Bass Collection strung with Labella Gold White strings for £250 from The Gallery.......it COULD happen!

NCFBD!!!

@Quatschmacher Ah awesome, I saw that posted on Instagram by one of the staff there, thought it was a great spec! Great job!

@Quatschmacher Will PM you

Anyone still doing Facebook? Just startered a Bass page for myself. If you’re so inclined, go and give it a like & follow!

That is a plan i'm still weighing up - whether to create a new FB account just as me the bass player/singer/musician/painter etc etc, and keep it for professional arts/music stuff, gig dates, videos etc.
But then again i realise the number of people who 'liked' my posts telling them about forthcoming gigs etc didnt actually translate into any of them actually coming along! I'd be better off just texting the people i know who live nearby and might fancy it.

Ok......I changed it

No, he’s even more crap at bass than I am @Happy Jack

Revisiting the Boss ODB-3......I mean it's crappy stock, but have ordered the Monte Allums Tri-Gain Mod kit to aid with that issue haha.
It's Boss, so features and functions are excellent, but hopefully this mod will make it more than useable sound wise!- Show previous comments 4 more

@Chiliwailer Exactly right

Eugh, first signs that getting my Moollon P delivered from South Korea is going to be a ball-ache! 🙄

@Quatschmacher Direct with them, i’m pretty sure they can do that :).
I think I actually saw a US Lakland with that setup on Reverb. Will drop you a message if I can find it
-
@Quatschmacher Ordered the Moollon directly with them

Really missing my old Lakland 55-01 today. I'm very lucky to have some incredibly basses, including another great 55-01......but I would have the original back in a flash!

@Sibob - the best you can hope for is a first refusal should he ever have a change of heart.
