Next? 

I'm concerned it's his last offering according to the thread title...🤔

Brilliant work, that neck looks fantastic 👌🏼

Thanks mate but it has been updated... I chose the Bartolini between the 3 pickups. As for the fretless, it's almost finished, I just need a decent player to make a good demo or I'll do it myself ASAP.

 

Meanwhile I thought I deleted it but no : https://youtu.be/cyG8TqB2hy8?si=bVhqellN9Y48scKQ

 

 

But it has 9J1 (original dual coils) in the end not 9CBJS1 (singles classic barts) but it's pretty close.

That sounds great! 👌🏼

Hello hello people

 

Didn't want to make too many updates for nothing... So now I am at 4 basses finished (or almost) including 2 as I consider good for sale.

 

Not really the question to sale or not to sale now but I'm more into a pickup contest... I can't decide between 3, or, more accurately, 2 sets of pickups. I've made a video (not including the fretless who is made with Jazz Bartolini 9J1) for you to help me. After many trying (I just received the Bartolini's today so I need a bit of recoil) I tend to exclude the EMG set ; it is good but for my tastes, too 'expected' sound... I'd rather go for a sound with more growling mediums. So far I still prefer the SSB for fingering, they have that smooth but 'in the face' sound. But the Bart's (coming right from USA) have some lovely, lovely clear highs and some crisp details in it. I recorded a very mediocre video with the Adam Nitti as a "reference" and just playing all open or bridge tone off (my most used configurations), sorry for P lovers.

 

I'd like you to give your opinion on this, if you have 5 minutes.

 

Here's the beasts on the wall:

 

 

The fretless is just a beautiful monster with a flamed maple / ash body and Ziricote fingerboard with fretlines. (black tuners are coming)

 

Here's the vid;

Thanks !!

 

You can also go to youtube and like the comment related to the pickup you enjoyed the most.

Tried to watch this video Marco using the above link, but it comes up as 'private', any ideas how I can view please 🤔

Excellent that 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Some great matching straps on here 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My two gigging basses have boring Kliq Aircel straps - at least they match each other 😆

Rick Danko of the band. Fretless with a plectrum, love the Ampeg bass!

 

That is incredibly precise fretless playing, especially when he's singing and his left hand is extra busy - amazing 😮

Brilliant band 👌🏼

Absolute stunner 😍

really helpful guy and you get 2 decals for about £10. I saw this as a just in case but it also persuaded me to buy a second bass!

 

 

Looks great Carl 👌🏼

I recommended Robs decals back when I refurbished the BlazerRay on here, good to see he's still going strong 👍🏼

Great work!! 👏🏼

YOB P. 🤩

Gulp 👌🏼

GLWTS

Another AJR beauty, fantastic 🤩

Bands I've been in have always been songs chosen by full consensus.

If just one member doesn't want to play a particular song - that's it - it's not even rehearsed.

Being in a covers band is all about every member enjoying what you all play together, otherwise - IMO - absolutely no point in continuing with the considerable effort of getting to a gig 😆

Takes a bit of time to get a decent set together, but when you're all happy playing what you've picked to play... result can be great 👍🏼

And FWIW - I've mostly been in bands that play tunes yer Granny can whistle along to -  the majority of the time 😁

For the heavy basses this: KLIQ Music Gear AirCell Guitar Strap for Bass & Electric Guitar with 3" Wide Neoprene Pad and Adjustable Length. Super comfortable.

Yup, my choice too, got these on both my gigging basses 👌🏼

A number of years ago I had first dibs on a 1979 Wal Pro11e in natural finish on here, my dream bass for a lonnnng time.

Incredibly, and completely out of the blue, a day or so later job losses were announced for a large section of our workforce, including me 😣

With four kids to support I couldn't justify the £1700 price tag.. 😟

It went to a fellow basschatter of course, and I pm'd him to congratulate him on his new acquisition.

But I've never quite got over missing out on that bass...

😖

Bit late to the party, but yet another superb example of @Andyjr1515 amazing skills, well done - once again, beautiful work 😉👌🏼

Absolutely brilliant that, imagine walking into a shop and seeing that band! Stunning, every bit of it. 👌🏼

I`m asking 5.900,00 GBP/ 6.900,00 Euro. Too much or too cheap make me an offer via pm.

Oh my....🤩

Well, it obviously needs to be much cheaper since you ask, I'm suggesting around £500 should do the trick and then this beauty could be mine 😁 

Only kidding of course 🤭 that is one lovely bass, GLWTS👍🏼 😜

That looks lovely 👌🏼

Tomorrow night, Dave Stewart and an all female band playing his Eurythmics songs in his hometown theatre the Sunderland Empire.

I'm really hoping Annie Lennox makes an appearance 🤞🏼

Three for me 👍🏼
