    You've got it on long term loan from a mate?😉

    I have two of these. They are the usual Gator quality. Decent neck bracing for angled headstocks too, unlike the Mono Sleeve. You can also fit more into the front pocket. They aren't top loading though. There's also a fabric version in black, grey or tan, but this one is finished in the same material as the Gator Pro Go range, so feels a bit more durable.

    Can this run on a battery or is it mains only?
  4. franzbassist
    Not being funny, but they are different basses and I think should be celebrated as such. Why buy a Stingray to sound like a Warwick?

    Pretty much sums the Faces music up, and I like their stuff. In the spirit of the band, I wouldn't worry about being note perfect, just come up with your own line and enjoy it! As you say, "in tune and in time" is all you need.

    Cute rig. That image of the girl looks photoshopped to me....

    I sold Loz a Mono gig bag. Great comms, immediate payment, thoroughly decent chap.

    I wouldn't say they were particularly thumpy. The La Bella white nylons in particular have a very nice bright top end (jump to 4.30 in this video).

    How about La Bella nylon flats? Lovely medium-low tension and the standard gauge set sound full and fat.
  12. franzbassist
    Apparently they were developed for Chicago Music Exchange by La Bella. Pure nickel roundwound wrap on a hex core. No silks at either end. Lots of different gauges and scale lengths. Tension I would say is medium-high. Tone is pure nickel: warm, with sweet highs Feel is wonderful, they are so smooth your fingers fly over them with much less squeak.

    The main house bass in my son's school band is a Cort. I took it home to give it a set up and a service a few weeks ago and was blown away by how good it was. These look great. I think Bass The World have reviewed a Cort fan fret too?
  20. franzbassist
    Yummy
  21. franzbassist
    I thought the same initially, but I'm used to it now
  22. franzbassist
    SOLD
  23. franzbassist
    I missed this post, sorry! They sound fantastic, I love the tension and super smooth feel, but they are quieter when played acoustically.
  24. franzbassist
    As Cuzzie says, this should fit easily.
  25. franzbassist
    I think it's a no. I tried to put a laptop box in that was about the same size as a Helix and it's just too big
