  1. Fortunately Rob was smart enough to do the Elrick one himself, and have Daric get involved too: Si

  3. Interesting on the Elrick front, I think I remember speaking to Rob about something happening with the 'Expat' range, wonder if this was it. That said, the Czech made NJS's are still handmade, but I wonder if these Cort ones will eventually supersede them. Spec wise, they look to be largely the same as the Czech built NJS's, but different bridge and no US Bart pickups, I'll wager that the Hipshots are licensed too, minor step down from the US Hipshots on the Czech NJS's. Nothing wrong with any of that at all, but as someone mentioned above, with the current NJS's fetching around $3k, I'd expect the Cort ones to sit around £1200-£1500 maybe? I bet they're fantastic basses in any case, got a lot of time for Cort built stuff! Si
  4. I might be alone in this, but would you also consider adding full size ‘fender’/elephant ear/paddle tuners? I’ve always felt that Y tuners make hollow body basses look a bit…..not quite right, they’re not of the right time/vibe imo. Si
  5. Winding isn't all of it, it's core size/shape too. Talk to Newtone Strings here in the UK, they'll be able to wind you a custom set of strings that have an appropriate tension for the tuning you need. Whether your P-bass neck can take that tension is another question, should be fine, but therein often lies the benefit of multi-scale basses or other more specialist/custom neck specs. Si
  6. SR5’s are 17.5mm aren’t they? Stunning bass though, Alan is one of the best! I’d like another someday. Si
  7. Yes, I remember a few people talking about these a while ago. The baby Sumo also looks similarly powered to many Class D amps in our sphere. Si
  8. That’s why I was quite interested in gigging the new Markbass power amp: http://www.markbass.it/product-detail/little-mark-vintage-amp-1000/ I had GR Amps equivalent, which sounded ok, but the fan was very loud imo. Si
  9. 100%, I bought it used as the sentiment was good around them, just ended up not being for me. Si
  10. I couldn’t sell mine quick enough, horrible thing haha. YMMV as always. Si
  11. I had a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 for a little while once, awful amp. Underpowered and couldn't get a decent tone out of it no matter what I tried. Not to mention it's Gain, Volume and Master control setup. I understand gain-staging, but come on! Si
  12. Nothing further to add I'm afraid. I didn't move on the Trickfish cabs and stuck with my Barefaced setup, which I know I love. I would have been changing for the sake of it. I wouldn't rule them out if I was forced to buy something new though. Si
  13. I don’t think anyone is saying that people shouldn’t be allowed to express their views, but freedom of speech is not freedoms from consequence. Say something that the majority believe to be abhorrent, as is one’s right, get excommunicated by the very nature of a majority not wanting anything to do with you. Si
  14. Just the skewed reaction was fascinating, nothing more. Si
  15. But you honestly see a difference between how you’ve communicated your ‘extreme boredom’ and when others standing up for what they believe? It reads like you put yourself above them in some hierarchy because they’re ‘offended’ (your words, not theirs) about sexism in this case, but when it comes to you literally shouting about it on a forum, that’s ok, you’re just extremely bored?! Colour me fascinated. Si
  16. All about these two for me: Although I would have put a dark fingerboard on the gold one! Si
  17. A reverse headstock? A left-handed neck essentially? If so that limits your options a fair bit, further than just buying some import from ebay. Probably your best bet is just a left-handed Fender placement like this: https://richtonemusic.co.uk/fender-player-series-precision-bass-lh-neck-22-medium-jumbo-frets-9-5-maple/?gclid=CjwKCAiA4KaRBhBdEiwAZi1zztKliyXQvL0KSy9aSCLsUDq9jowkqU7lU2K4e8Z7-b5ECeIC14SZFRoC9M0QAvD_BwE Cheers Si
  18. Letting us know the preferred specs would greatly aid in people giving advice Si
  19. See if you can find a Modulus Jazz bsss, or a graphite neck for your Jazz. Get the same brand of pickup in there too (Bartolini?). Optics of a Jazz those that care, a spec closer to your Modulus for you! Si
  20. What's the 1590a top middle? Si
  21. Who’s going to let Jaco know? Si
  22. Those BB P34/35’s do sound excellent, heard a few clips of them recently. Shame about the weird blue, but hey 😆 Si
  23. Very cool, great story! Well done Brian! Si
  24. Haha, sorry, it's too good a drive pedal in a small box to not have on the back-burner Si
  25. No, it’s a wonderful pedal (I won’t sell it), but the BB has better EQ and can be run as a clean boost too. Clean with a big of booster treble is a nice extra bit of clank to be able to kick in and out. The Cog Fuzz is giving me all the proper dirt on that board. Si
