I had a play of a couple at NAMM last week, I have to say that the black 32" Sacramento I tried, with two BiSonics, was absolutely brilliant. Easy to play and sounded really really good! I want one! Si

Doesn't sound like an upright, harder to play than a fretless electric, swing and a miss for me. My only thought is that this is for upright players who want to play electric fretless, but don't like playing electric?! Si

All I can do is echo the above, the SC is the tonal equivalent of the G2 Compact & G2 Midget combination. I actually use a SC with a G2 midget on top a lot of the time, for nothing else than a little extra reinforcement closer to my ear (vertical stacking etc). Si

I also wonder whether some brands are using roasted maple fingerboards as an easy visual alternative now that CITES is making rosewood a lot more difficult. Si

It seems that you're completely missing the point of the video and tune. At no point does he categorise 'a whole race', but clearly the archetypes he references do exist. His point, which he gets across brilliantly if you watch the video right to the end, is that understanding can quite often come about by simply communicating. Si

Did you watch the full video? If so, what did you consider controversial about it? If not, do so. Si

Andrew at @Anaconda Basses is another excellent choice. Si

Haha, no, I am Novation Si

Saw these on the booth at NAMM, had a very quick unamplifed try, very nice indeed!! Si

Doesn’t look right to me, even the worst Friday after job at Fender wouldn’t result in ferrules like that! I think a natural US model would also have more grain in the Ash, that looks quite plain really (for ash). I’d leave it personally. Si

Love it, no scratch plate is the way!! Si

@Marc S This is basically the Normon Watt Roy bass, but fretless @SpondonBassed The ashtray pickup cover actually comes fitted over the neck pickup, I’ve removed it though. And Finn (my son) can be thanked for the rug, I actually like it for bass pics haha. Si

With JoCee’s 2nd album starting tracking in a couple of weeks, I wanted a few extra tools, a fretless is amongst them! I didn’t want a lot of money tied up in one, so I contacted The Bass Centre to see if they could do me a fretless Jive Bass in gold. They could, and with a 3 day turnaround too, meaning I got to have a few hours with it before I leave for NAMM tomorrow. So yes, a Bass Collection Jive in Jubilee Gold, matching headstock & an Omega bridge! So far i’m very impressed! I’ll do a review when I’m back! Cheers Si

Mono M80 gig bag, Markbass Nano Mark (will fit in the front pocket with your cables), Barefaced OneTen or Super Midget. Single trip rig with a spare hand, underground friendly. Done Si

This is partly with my Novation hat on, but actually mostly with my 'I love Knobs (the Youtube channel)' hat on! Very happy to be amongst the other incredible pedal & synth demos, check out the full channel when you get a chance: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCarxZ8bKjfFzUOgN5LjYOhQ/videos Si

It's a classic case of trying to solve a problem with a product, but the problem doesn't exist (or certainly only in very, VERY small numbers). Si

I do like the look of that 60w combo too! And it's far from new, but also still want to get hold of a Nano Mark......don't necessarily need it, but love the idea of an amp that fits in my gig bag Si

I've seen a few people use Stingray style pickguards on their Laklands. You won't find them stock anywhere though, you'll need to find someone to make you something and provide them with a tracing of the design you want I imagine. Si

So a few years after serving a cease and desist to Fuzzrocious for using the ‘Rat Tail’ name for their modded Rat clone....they use the Rat Tail name themselves? Nice one Pro-Co Si
