So, the fretless version I have is full scale 34" ... Which makes it a big instrument!..I expect that the medium ones are probably easier to bag up?... The Ritter bag I now have is good for full scale... & reasonably priced at just over 50 quid...
-
I didn't know that they did a fretted version! .. that must be a recent thing? What gig bags/cases do people use for these? I had a rok sak bag that it just about squeezed into, but it's a pretty long bass... (I think it comes in 2 sizes? Full scale and medium...) Recently found that the Ritter Carouge Acoustic Bass Guitar Bag (RGC3-AB) is a pretty good fit!

We are all individuals! ..not sure the link works... But it's the 'Life of Brian' ... we are all individuals.... I'm not! ....bit! trying for humour.. but might have failed!? .. 🤔😊

Fair enough... I understand why that works for you... I find the flats bring a life to it that I really like... Always subjective this game! ... Vive la difference! 😎

Thekla is a great venue!.. played there many times in the past 😎 Looks a great bass set up... What kind of stuff do you play?
-
Recently used it in the studio...it recorded really well, sounds quite a bit like an upright...
-
1st actual gig with the 'A little more Gilmour' band https://alittlemoregilmour.com went well, I think....
-
I have an Epiphone Embassy which I really like the sound of..
-
I've not found any problems without a finger rest... I like to pluck from different places to get different tones.. right up the neck end is quite upright sounding...

Yes I put La Bella flats on mine.. makes the sound really authentic... Didn't like those weird bronzed rounds at all. I took some advice from someone on TalkBass and got a lighter gauge than I would normally use, so they fit in the nut grooves, which would've needed making wider otherwise.. (La Bella 760FX Deep Talkin Bass Guitar Strings - X/Light 39 - 96...) sound is still fat and the strings feel right.. 😁😎 I have a guitar guy who sets up stuff for me (lazy!) but not much had to be done to it...

Doh!... Been a while... Soz! ☺️🥳..if there is any interest still, here is the YouTube link..... A little more Gilmour It's been fun, proper gigs start in October...

Totally... I agree... B & C direct are also UK based & the factory is in Wakefield ... What has been described to me sounds like of similar quality.. but not received it yet, so we shall see......

I've just ordered one for a Warwick Gnome 2/10/4 from Bags & Covers Direct https://www.bagsandcoversdirect.co.uk/ .. after getting a quote from Roqsolid for £78 (including postage) Bags & Covers Direct have priced it at £32!... Communication has been good with them, looking forward to seeing what turns up... I've used Roqsolid for years but they just seem to be getting more & more expensive

Ok, thanks mate 🙂 -
Is this still active? It was a while ago, I guess! I'd be interested in one if you still have any
