    If anyone has any ideas for a possible replacement pickup, let me know. The Kent Armstrong sounds good but I'd like something a bit more growly, more pre-EB sounding and preferably with visible pole pieces. What to go for? Aguilar? Nordstrand?

    So I had incredible GAS for a fretless Stingray bass. I was looking for one when I found this oddball at the London Bass Gallery: Sterling Ray34 body, Kent Armstrong pickup, fretless Status neck. It was affordable and I lóve the look. So it arrived today and I absolutely love this bass. Great sound, preamp sounds great... I might replace the pickup with something more vintage sounding (any ideas? Nordstrand? Aguilar?) but I'm very happy so far. It's currently strung with D'Addario strings which I don't really like so I ordered some Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkies which should arrive tomorrow. Super siked!

    I took my new van der End out to rehearsal yesterday, it was the first time I actually had it in a context of a band. And boy, what a bass...so dynamic, crisp, clear, great EQ... Totally awesome. And it was cheap. What a cool bass.

    Added a stunning Andre van der End built fiver to the collection (upper row, second from the left) so dragged everything on the couch again... I'd never expected to have 10 basses again at any point. Yet, here we are.

      Oh dear. I'm up to 8 now.....

      Don't know how that happened?

      To be fair, 2 are self builds from bits I found hanging around.

      I am currently at 10 basses total, half of which are Jazzes. I really really like Jazz Basses ;)

    So I've been a fan of the basses by Dutch luthier André van der End for about 20 years now, and have never owned one. And then this baby and I crossed paths... She's from 2000, electronics as of yet unknown (I think the pickups have been made by André himself), amazingly pretty body. It needs some new strings and a good setup, but boy is she amazing. Also makes a pretty good pair with her 13 years younger cousin from De Gier: So that makes bass number 10 for me. I'll post a new family photo tomorrow😁

  15. BassAgent
    Still very, very curious about these basses.
  16. BassAgent
    Our guitar player/singer mixed it! But listening back to my track, he barely did anything Soooo thanks!
  17. BassAgent
    As a matter of fact, I did not mix it

    Ohhhh you bought it! I was seriously considering it. That thing has sooooo much mojo! Amazing! Can't wait to hear and feel it someday. Man. What a bass.
  23. BassAgent
    What's better than one bass? Seven basses!

    I'm currently at 3 guitars: From left to right: 2018 Fender American Performer Telecaster, 2019 Eastman E1OM, 1959 Höfner. The Höfner is a bit of a story: I got it for super cheap from a friend. The neck needed a reset (so it got one). The knobs aren't original of course, and neither are the pickups: the neck pickup is a 1970's DeArmond humbucker, the bridge pickup is a 1970's Gibson T-Top. It feels and sound amazing, but a bit fragile at the same time.

    I've uploaded a few covers lately. Not very spectacular, but fun anyway.
