Anyone know which brand / model of bass this is?
Mikey D replied to Undertone's topic in General Discussion
The headstock shape and 4 control layout with jack on the side makes it look like some form of Atelier Z like attached or linked: https://www.ikebe-gakki.com/Form/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?shop=0&pid=794063&bid=ec Not sure though. -
The bass I was selling this for went but I've found another way to source an almost identical one. So now £1200. -

The talman is amazing value for the money. I play it more than most of my basses. I upgraded it too with Aguilar. Not a small job but made a massive tone difference. Dont forget the EHB range for short scales too. I had the 1505sms and only sold to fund another more expensive bass. Great basses. I played them both with low B and high V. I'd you can find used they are great value too. -
They have a lot of confidence building and positive PR to do in a year if they want to do an event next year.

I didn't see it but kept going back to the page more than is healthy. Especially since I just bought a buckeye burl one. Lovely looking bass!

Was it the recent flame top one or the older red one?

I've been extremely skeptical since it was first announced and how slow the information being shared was. Then when we got more detail the organisation on the day didn't seem to have any logic of clarity to it. Plus the shocking use of poor quality logos in the website just added to how unprofessional this was looking. The informal bass bashes organised by people voluntarily on here seem to have more thought into things.

Ok. Who bought "my" seafoam burner before I could? 🥲

YAMAHA TRB6i (Slap Cut) with Bartolini electronics! - *SOLD*
Mikey D replied to Chris81's topic in Basses For Sale
I regret every day selling my 1994 trb6. Lovely bass. -
Still available. Now open to trades. Six string ideally.
-
Yes. I also mentioned in my posts but I like taking it from brighter to darker. So it goes through majors to minors then augmented. This allows the ear to hear the relative changes between them too a bit easier.

I have a copy. Well a copy of a copy. Back when I was studying at a Conservatoire me and a fellow mature student got VERY into it. It gets pretty heavy pretty quick, but if you're into that sort of thing...

Tell me about it. Preference would be to never sell it but I can't justify it with the other bass I want. B string has good tension on it and very playable. Good sound across length of neck. I have action fairly low too.

Increasingly hard to find (rare?), I've hunted one down for years as I think they are one of the best Ibanez Basses ever made, and finally bought it end of last year. Immaculate and case also in great condition with all the case candy. Not far from all new. However 'the' bass has come up for sale which I didn't expect and regrettably this is the only way to fund it. If that bass sells, I'll take this one down. Thus sensible offers if you can move quickly will be considered. I can take more pictures if needed and you're more than welcome to come and try it. Made in Japan Body: Alder w/ ash top and back Finish: Transparent Orange Bridge: Tight-End Bass 5 (18mm string spacing) Knob style: B20 (volume & balancer) & B15 (3-way EQ) plastic knobs Hardware color: Cosmo black Neck: Grooveline-5 Neck material: 5-piece wenge/ bubinga w/ KTS titanium rods Scale length: 34" Fingerboard material: Rosewood Frets: 22 / medium (Prestige edge treatment) Nut: GraphTech Black TUSQ XL (45mm) Machine heads: Gotoh GB530 Pickups: CAP Sonic Arch5 bridge and neck passive Electronics: Ibanez E5 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch Controls: Master volume / balancer / EQ toggle / 3-way EQ: treble, mid, bass The G105 was discontinued in 2015 along with the entire Grooveline series.
