    Better too many than too few when selling a bass, I reckon 🤣

    The '62 has gone on Reverb.

    Mediocre iPad video added. Best listened to with headphones, but even then you can't really hear the tone roll off that well. 3B6E01F1-33D0-47EE-B526-4E9169EDF8C8.MOV

    How did you set the filters? The VPF is basically a mid scoop with boosted bass and treble, whereas the VLE is a treble cut.

    Agreed, the Marcus 250 would be perfect in this situation.

    Ah yes, hello Pete!
  7. franzbassist
    No, but I can record some for you.

    IPhone through the f hole on the other side of the bass! 👍🏻

    When we're out of lockdown I'd like to hear this in the flesh (I'm in Alton), as I'm considering one for my passive fretless.

    I had a stock one of these and it was a terrific bass. Did the P thing very well.

    Great review. When I first saw them I thought "Ew!", but it sounds great!
  12. franzbassist
    Now that is a lovely looking bass.

    Heistercamp for me, and I've tried a lot!

    Basschat sales every time. Shops will always go very low.

    Agee. I have the Deluxe version and it's a great pedal. Loads of different tone available.

    When you've tried everything and your new low B string still won't intontate properly.... :sorry:

      If it's a new like-for-like replacement La Bella should be willing to exchange or at least advise.

      I'll drop them an email and hope they reply, cheers.

      Spent more time fettling this afternoon.  Flipped the string over (the ball end is locked in place in the ETS bridge system) and it seems to have done the trick.  Fingers crossed!

    What @NoirBass said. These are terrific.
  18. franzbassist
    And yet another super smooth transcation with Mike. He is a Basschat legend!

    Agree with @Hellzero 100%. They are superb strings. And don't be afraid to go with the heavier gauge either, they feel so good!

    What @SurroundedByManatees said. 👍

    I sold some strings to Ed. It was a super smooth deal, and I would happily deal with him again.
  22. franzbassist
    Looks great. Very similar to my Franz Sirius ❤️

    Interesting, but Strings Direct has been selling Rotosound singles for years.
  24. franzbassist
    Yep, I see what you mean. Have added a picture to explain.

    While I love this bass, it just doesn't get played since the acoustic blues project I bought it for folded, so up it goes for sale. Now discontinued, the Epiphone De Luxe Classic is a short scale (30.5") archtop bass. Spruce top on a flame maple body, with an ebony fingerboard on a maple and mahogany five piece laminated neck. I removed the dreadful Shadow piezo pickup and replaced it with a custom made Krivo pickup (£200). I also added Schatten volume and tone thumbwheels in the f hole. The bass is strung with standard gauge La Bella white nylons (I also have a set of La Bella black nylons I put on it previously that are included in the sale), and it lives in a very nice TGI Extreme gig bag. The bass is in excellent condition. The only real "damage" is where I cut the scratchplate to accommodate the pickup, and a filled hole in the neck join from a strap button. Shipping isn't an option, so it's £599 collected. Thanks Gareth
