Something from Fender on the topic

Kinda like a baritone, although it depends on who you buy from or what brand. I've had the a Squier Bass VI and a Gretsch Electromatic Baritone, there wasn't any difference between them in scale length or string gauges. Typically a baritone is 27-28.5" tuned usually in BEADF#B, ADGCEA & CFBbEbGC. Bass VI is 30" and usually tuned EADGBE but seems this chops and changes all the while. I'd recommend checking out the guitar specs before turning one up or finding the right strings. No definitive way to play them. Thumbs, fingers, plectrums... Just find your own way that's comfortable for you and enjoy 😁👍🏻

Something about a pick on a Pbass that is so right. Perhaps just the right amount of attack through the split pickups, without coming out too trebely and harsh, that just hits that spot 👌🏻 I don't use the J in my P/J basses so much for this reason if I'm playing with a plec

That's some 5 string filth there! 😍

Same as Fleabag. Played a Magnum (chap wouldn't sell it to me 😂) but fantastic bass. Hoping being from the same company that it would be rather sound investment for £300 😉✌🏻

Sold Ed a Farida guitar. The guy knew his beans about it, seemed like a good deal and going into the right hands. Fast PayPal transaction, met up the next day to hand over the guitar and he was a very pleasant man to meet up and communicate with, from start to finish. Please buy with confidence from Ed 😁👍🏻

Best. Read. Ever. I probably laughed too much 😂🙈

To be fair, if Westfield came back into popularity in 30 years time, I'd probably buy another for sentimental reasons because that's what I started on and stick it next to my best up original. It's probably no different with these but slapping "MIJ" on the sale to pass it off as a quality made item and selling it for more than it's worth is just bad business.

Another couple of Dekos on eBay

Can he actually do that though? Surely thats a breech of the sales act. Surprised he hasn't been taken down. -
Always wanted to try the spectorcore though, real nice bass? Maybe get a video up sometime 😉

DIY fretless bass using old washing machine drum.
bigsmokebass replied to alembic1989's topic in Bass Guitars
This would have been mint as a 4 string... Why did I get my hopes up? This was clearly going to be a redneck contraption anyway 😂 -

Happy for you dude and nice to see a good review for Mark after hearing a few reviews and not having a good experience myself.
