These crop up only once in a blue moon - so Jumped on it as I’m doing lots of remote recordings for a singer/songwriter who asked if I had a DB... I recorded with my fretless J and it sounded great. But missing a bit of that thud. Was planning on a fretless neck for my 75p, and then before I knew it - offers to buy came in and one person in particular absolutely deserves it (YOB etc) As this was going on - just had a quick look online and found this. ”collection only” bah...In Bristol. “hang on @Cuzzie is in Bristol and we talk regularly” i thought ...asked the question...GO! It’s a 1991 ish Fender Japan PBAC-100fl. Catchy eh? About to be collected by DPD to arrive in the next few days.

Things have changed on the Travis settee...

yup 😉

My Metroline (2019 or early 20) is the best put together bass I’ve ever owned - closely followed by a Godlyke (also MIJ).

Looks like good fun to be a part of. Sounds...well. It’s certainly a sound. Surprised at my diplomacy there.

Yeah - I’ve just done it now. Have to remind myself every time I use it.

I’ve just bought some AKG K72’s for £33 from DV247

I’m a fan - Cory Wong’s solo stuff is better, Fearless Flyers too. But they’re fun, and look like they’re having a right laugh.

Would Rob Green not do it?

The older poly web elixirs used to do this if you looked at them funny. I wouldn’t panic.

I’ve just typed a big long answer. Then re-read the OP and realised I’d suggested things I had to pretend didn’t exist. as @Steve Browning states - get a nice mic in front of the cab. Although it’ll only be on one cone, so you may as well have the equivalent 210...or even a 110. And in the time it’s taken to edit that - you’ve said it’s not the option.

Yeah - elixir pattern baldness. WAs going to suggest they could be d’addario EXP’s but plain ball ends is elixirs.

It seems counter intuitive, but skip entering dimensions on the first section - UK to UK should be €15 or something. then when you put that it’s over 1m, it should allow you to enter your own dimensions and stay at about €15

Did you enter dimensions on first part or after your said it was a box over 1m? This threw a spanner in the works when I first used it.

Done

Pm me your number and I’ll WhatsApp you a load of pics.

@Bridgehouse I defretted a G4M 5 string acoustic bass a good few years ago. It came out so well - I was really proud of it. I then sold it to a guy who’s still gigging it with a jazz trio. I have bucketloads of pictures and hints if you need them. I also have some rosewood which worked amazingly well for filling the slots - should you need it.
