That is pretty bloody sexy but I'm not a fan of the PJ configuration. Just not my taste. Binding, oly white and tort pickguard is amazing though
-
Might also be the quality of the video, and I think the ZON is tuned like a tenor bass. Very different sound.
-
Look who I found playing a ZON on Dutch tv about 15 years ago:
-
I'm pretty confident they wouldn't.
-
But those exist I don't understand that Markbass does this. They revolutionised the bass amp world with their light weight stuff (I don't like how they sound, but that's a different story) and now they make a bass that already exists? Even Squier made them.
-
As someone in the Talkbass topic mentioned: that J/P-thingamabob is something we as bass players don't need, and that Kilimanjaro looks suspiciously like a mix between the Zon Sonus en Legacy... Lots of Hyperbass styling in there as well. I'm not a big fan of Markbass amps (which is an understatement) and not a big fan of these either.

I don't practice a massive amount but I do use some exercises from time to time to keep my hands trained. I borrowed this one partly from my former teacher and (in The Netherlands) well known session player Michel van Schie. PDF is on my web site, check it out here!

There are only two that I've owned and haven't enjoyed playing: This was a 1997 MIM Deluxe Jazz V. The preamp was rubbish (so I took it out, made it passive), the pickups were rubbish (so I replaced them with Nordstrands) and it weighed a million pounds. Sold it. Guild M85, was an impulsive moment for me and I shouldn't have bought it. Me being a Fender-ish kind of person and this being something totally different meant my hands hurt after an hour of playing. Couldn't get a sound out of it that I liked, either. Traded it for my Fender VI, which was a great deal

On hold! -
Any reason to show my 2nd favourite bass of all time is a good reason! 2002 fretless, new bridge (Gotoh), new pickguard, epoxied fingerboard and Lollar pickups. 1 of the best basses I've ever played.
-
Standard (MIM) Fender Jazz, modded with new bridge (gotoh), epoxied fingerboard and Lollar pickups. And a setup to die for.
-
I have owned quite a few fretless basses but I've sold them all because of this beauty I got 16 years ago.
-
Forgot to mention this: the body was eventually delivered and it was perfect! So I had one of Holland's finest luthiers (Ellio Martina) replace it. I put the old body up for sale. I have the idea it's still a bit too expensive. But you never know.

I heard this a few weeks ago and although I like the idea of a bass and guitar show at the same time, but there's one major downside: it's in the exact same weekend as the Guitar Summit in Mannheim. I wonder how many companies will pick Mannheim and how many will pick London, especially after the B-word hits the fan.
-
Just put the previous body of my Dingwall up for sale. No idea if the price is right, but hopefully it'll sell quickly
-
So when I ordered my Dingwall it came with this body. Unfortunately it came a bit damaged, it probably sustained some impact during shipping. Damage isn't big but for me it was enough for Dingwall to offer me a replacement body, and having two Dingwall bodies is not something I really need It's suitable for 2 or 3 pickups, as is common for Combustion and NG basses Shipping no problem, costs are for the buyer. Local pickup (Amsterdam) is also an option, coffe, whisky or beer included! I have no idea what to ask for it, so make me an offer I can't refuse. £200 is an estimate. No trades please.

Made an appointment for my second tattoo. I'm already nervous but also can't wait.

@TheGreek I would have removed your àrse for £400.

The only tattoo I'd have is one in Ink and Braille that says "Get your filthy hands off of my dirty ar5e ya perve!". I'd have one on each buttock for full protection from drunken females.
(I got groped once by ladies outside a club once when bending over to take my 'bike lock off. They were pi55ed as newts and it was a real passion killer. One of the hazards of wearing full leathers that I don't miss.)
-
Now that I have your attention: check out the new vids for my fusion band!
-
It has been delivered! Box looks like this however. Body is flawless! Lovely.
-
It seems FedEx found my bass body yesterday without noticing me. It was in Memphis all along, and it's supposed to be delivered today. They just e-mailed me "out for delivery", no call, nothing. Thanks FedEx.
-
TBH it was more a cool restoration project for me, it was white and the neck was made by the same guy that did my P. All that added together gave me the impulse to try and get it. In hindsight you guys might be right It still feels like a cool think to have for me, but then an original one.
-
That's why I didn't go for it
-
Nah, you haven't seen it up close. It's not firewood.
-
Nah, the guy was at my house when I checked it and he agreed on 750. I honestly believe someone offered him 1000 euros. I think the chances that the buyer will pull out are very small. The neck on this bass is amazing.
