    Yes, that was a cute bass ❤️

    Funny you should mention Picato. I just took a punt on the very last set of extra long Overwater flats to put on my fretless 5 and they are really nice.

    Thread locked at OP’s request.

    That is a thing of beauty. I’ve wanted one in this spec for years. We are geographically close. And I have no cash 😔

    Excellent Rutles reference there 👍

    Thanks for the replies. I already use La Bella white nylons on my fretless and really like them, but for me I think the tension would be too low on a fretted, so I was looking for alternatives.

    Looking for half/ground wound recommendations? I’d like to find something that feels like a flat wound, super smooth and with minimal drag or noise under the finger.
  8. franzbassist
    Spot on.

    At least it isn't the same old 4 bar we're used to....

    I have a Little Marcus 800 and absolutely love it. Tremendously versatile EQ and it can go silly loud.
  11. franzbassist
    Oh that is nice.

    I've had this for a couple of years. It's had an easy life and has hardly been played to be honest. It's a good, no frills, acoustic bass. Nicely put together. Currently fitted with La Bella white nylons which work really well on it. Body Size: J-14 Fret, Cutaway Construction: Dovetail Neck Joint Top: Solid Sitka Spruce Back & Sides: Mahogany Neck: Mahogany Nut & Saddle: Bone Fingerboard: Micarta Scale Length: 34” (864 mm) Neck width at nut: 1.58” (40,1 mm) Tuning Machines: Chrome, diecast Electronics: Fishman Isys+ (with Tuner) Finish: Ultra-thin UV-finish Strings: D´Addario PBB170 Comes with a nice gig bag from CNB (£40). These are now £400 new. I am asking £225 collected (preferred) or £250 posted.

    I'm in. Once my new Franz arrives later this month I'm not buying anything in 2019 apart from strings (if needed).
  14. franzbassist
    That is very cute. I can see faint lines on the board?

    I usually quite like MM basses, but this does nothing for me.....

    I really rate Hot Covers. Our PA speakers have lived in a pair from them for what must be eight years now, and they still look great. I recently bought the fabric covered version for a new cab and that's even better. Big thumbs up from me too. I like Roqsolid, but I think Hot Covers edge it.
  17. franzbassist
    Exactly this.
  18. franzbassist
    Great amp.
  19. franzbassist
    Mmm, nice. Smiths of that vintage are so sweet.
  20. franzbassist
    Easy, it's a Ken Smith then
  21. franzbassist
    Wish I'd seen this a week ago.

    I would be interested in a part trade+cash for a different Markbass cab: Standard 121 NY121 121H TRV102P

    The bees knees, the mutts nuts, all in one package.

    While not an amp, the Radial Bassbone OD works very well with DB. Switchable hi-impedance on one channel and HPFs on both.

    I can end this debate in one picture. A Fender Bass V done right, with an added J pickup and proper BEADG tuning.
