I missed this thread when originally posted. I follow you on Bandcamp and got no notification of this, so I just checked there, and it's not listed hahaha, I guess that explains that. I liked that, and looking forward to your album next year too. Mark

I searched for 5-string basses, because that's what I play. 20 results, and of those 20, 2 were for strings, 1 was a case, 1 was a 6-string and 1 was a 4-string. Of the remaining ones there was a very nice example of a Spector Euro 5 LX, including case for £2k. Mark

Erm … Mark

Bloody hell, £3k! That one has 18v electrics, any idea why this would be? The Trace Elliot one I have and other Status ones I've seen only have the single 9v batteries. Mark

Headbangers Ball. That's a bit of a blast from the past. Presented by someone called Vanessa, if I recall correctly. Also Ray Cokes. He was great doing that Most Wanted segment. I have fond memories of watching MTV when it was actually a music channel. I started to watch that Real World show they started and at that point I started to drift away from the channel. You could see where it was heading. Mark

I'm still very happy with the purchase. A 'unicorn bass' is exactly how I described it too. The pre-amp took a little bit of time to tame, but I am really happy with the bass. As others have stated, they can be a bit on the weighty side, but I've mostly been playing mine sat down, so that's been a non-issue for me and mine. Mark

Oohh, this is a good one. I'll add, any alphabetical listing by last name first, first name last. Mark

Groovy. Mark

As soon as I read the comment by @Hellzero I knew who this thread was about. She's quite an impressive player. Mark

Also DIY neck roasting! 😂 It's a Fb Reel, if I knew how to embed it I would, but I don't, so I can't. Mark

Fanned fretless? Mark

Why would you have turnip with spuds?!? Honestly, to me, that just sounds mingin'. Mark

No, it sounds horrendous! I am that man and I claim my £5 😂 Mark

You are not alone in the way you thought it was correctly pronounced. 😳 Mark

It's Bandcamp Friday again. ☺️ Just these two for me today. Mark

It is not. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184374210289 As already mentioned upthread, they are hard to come by in the UK. The last few I got was ages ago from a U.K. eBay seller, and I've not seen any since then for sale in the U.K. whenever I've looked. Mark

Zero F's, but many replies. 😂 Mark

Mark

I use this brand too, but the 5mm variant. Also purchased from a UK eBay seller. Mark
