  1. The bacchus is rather lovely,as is the vigier The alembic looks "glorious"
  2. 'Tis rather good looking. There's a very similar fretless Mazeti going at the moment (sans inlay). The only bad thing I can see about buying this guy's stuff is that it has to be imported as opposed to the Mazeti, which has a UK dealer of sorts.
  3. After reading the reviews the Harley Benton basses do seem rather appealing, I wouldn't expect something good for under £150 but as they appear to be at least playable could be a good way to get used to playing 5 string or fretless. Shame the fretless isn't lined though that could be a good thing. They used to sell some Peavey lookalikes but I can't seem to find them anymore. But i might take the plunge and just order one in the summer, I have my eye on the 5 string acoustic fretless [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb35ntfl_5string_akustikbass_fretless.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb...ss_fretless.htm[/url] .
  4. I'm sort of tempted to go for a cheap fretless or 6 string, maybe even a fretless 6. Anyone had experience of these, either the "Harley Benton" stuff or those expensive looking imports on ebay. Olie
  5. The lady at the bass cellar gave me [b][i]medium[/i][/b] scale strings chucked in with my bass and I couldn't be bothered to go there and change them. They've just been sat in my gig bag for a few months and I don't have see any worth in selling them so I'm giving them away. First one to let me know gets them . I won't be able to post them with any great haste as I have exams and searching for envelopes and stamps won't be a priority but you'd get them eventually. Olie
  6. It is out of my price range but knowing that this stuff exists does affect what I want to do, could be worth saving up until I can get something like a Markbass or EA
  7. I really like the look of the '74 P. Like what you did for the Stealth Jazz too.
  8. Although basstalk was a very good name, to be honest is was a bit too much like talkbass.
  9. Jazz/Rock/Funk Pretty much anything really.
  10. Really liking the look of the 6. The others are just a bit nice .
  11. I do like the carving in the headstock!
  12. They have a slightly different bridge I think.
  13. I really like the Geddy, IMO it's the best value jazz. I also like the American Jazz, I've a played a couple really good ones. I played the 70's KSD I thought it was very nice, surprisingly powerful, tad overpriced but you might be able to find a good price for one.
  14. Thanks, I'm weighing up my options.
  15. krazy_olie aka krazy_olie. 18 going on 19 (not quite spotting greys yet ) Been playing 4 years I think. Student of "Computer Systems Engineering" at Bristol. Not much else to say.
  16. Does look rather nice
  17. Loving the black/maple thing
  18.

  19. Thanks for the suggestion of those cabs. I really don't know if it would add that much portability in which case I might just be better off keeping what I have, the Ashdown cab is quite light. Perhaps I'll bring it to Uni next term and see how it goes.
  20. Unfortunately Markbass is a bit too far out my price range. The Warwick CL ND 4 looks like the best possible replacement but there's also the possibility of a Hartke, ashdown, line 6 or maybe something else I haven't thought of. 150w would be fine as I don't expect to be playing anywhere big enough without a PA to be honest.
  21. Lovely springs to mind
