  1. Thanks guys 

    Had a good play on it last night & after a bit tweaking it plays absolutely brilliantly.

    Build quality is top notch too,it is a lovely Jazz bass.

    There is a downside though,BD sold it as 9.5/10 condition,but alas the first thing I saw was a couple of fairly deep scratches on the top of the head stock 🧐

    Not a massive game changer but not quite what I expected to see & still waiting to hear back from them.

  2. I moved mine on a while ago,dabbled with some Darkglass stuff but now use  3 channel programmable Sansamp bass driver,which won't be going anywhere,it does everything I could ever ask of it perfectly.

    Love the colour choice of your MV... wondered how you are finding it noise wise? The one negative for me so far is I've noticed its louder than my other basses (in terms on shielding). Only really noticeable through headphones and easily sorted, but still a little disappointing for this price point. 

     

    Thanks 😊

    I haven't noticed any noise from mine at all,although I've only used it at rehearsal so far but it seems very quiet so far.

    I'll try it through the headphones when I get chance & report back

    These look super nice. A P-bass is like a burger - quality ingredients put together by someone who knows what they're doing and you get something hugely satisfying. 

    Indeed & a perfect description of this bass,it really is very good.

    What ever basses I own I always end up back on a P bass,if I just keep this one I'll save myself a fortune

    They certainly sound very good on the YouTube review 

    It's just as good in real life.

    I've owned loads of basses over the years,including many P's & this is a very nice P bass indeed.

    It was a bit of a gamble when I did the trade as I didn't get to play it until it arrived so was very happy with it indeed.

    My band plays classic sabbath tunes & the Dingwall just didn't fit,whereas the P fits perfectly,I can get my Geezer mojo going.

    I actually find it easier & more comfortable than the Dingwall too,so much so I'm tempted to sell/trade Combustion for another one of these.

  6. Used this baby at rehearsal last night & every member of the band commented on how good it sounded,I had to agree.

    It is a massive improvement over the Dingwall ABZ I traded for it sound wise.

    The Dingwall was beautifully made & played really nicely but I just couldn't get a sound out of it I liked,just never gelled.

  7. Mine arrived on Friday & fitted yesterday.

    I couldn't fit them over the strap for the life of me so had to unscrew the strap buttons & fit them from the back.

    Fortunately I made sure the strap was adjusted correctly first.

    They're pretty cool though & my bass certainly won't be falling off it's strap.

    Whatever works for you, really - I dislike the pure note on it's own going 'buh' and like a little bit of fret clank and/or rattle behind the note to help it growl, in varying amounts of course.

    Baaaaaa 

    In my day "just after t'war" you'd be shot for 'avin' fret rattle.

    Mind we played  proper basses in them days.

    Upright buggers

    None of this fancy stuff

    Tha naaaas

    Awesome 👌

    Eagerly awaiting your thoughts on it.

    I really love mine,it just feels so familiar,like I've been playing it for years.

  10. My band plays exclusively early Black Sabbath songs so I'm playing at the base of the neck most of the time, so it's pretty high action for me on my P bass.

    However my Dingwall Combustion is set as low as possible without fret buzz,so I guess it just depends on what style/sound you are wanting to achieve.
