Is it not just a US deluxe with LEDs?
-
For those that want a British bass with fiery tone, the Anaconda basses are starting to get to me. The clips I’ve heard of the essence range sound incredible.
-
Is it ACG that uses filters instead of EQ or is that Alpher? That will give you something very different to the Overwater.
-
Record it at home on a fretted and then practice with the fretless over the top. Practice until it’s bang on every time.

I’d love to see this in Purple metallic flake with matching headstock!
-
You’ve sure had some great basses. I love the look of the Atelier Z you’re currently selling, looks really classy in black.

Managed to get tickets this morning for the Saturday gig in London. Wanted to see RCHP live since I was 13. Ridiculous price though but seems to be the going rate nowadays

warwick thumb nt5 from 1999 for 940 pounds. Yes or no?

If you’re a lefty I’ll take it 😂 -
I made the leap last year. I have small hands and find the strat much easier than others to play due to the shallow neck. It’s taking a while to get used to a completely different technique but is actually fun to be a beginner again.

Fender US Std Jazz 5 string - 2001 ish - any experience?
Mrbigstuff replied to Mokl's topic in Bass Guitars
I had a 2000 Us jazz deluxe V and it was ok. I paid under £500 for it about 12 years ago so you’d be looking about double that now even though a new Sire would be an improvement. The time where Fender really improved the US jazz bass was circa 2012. Better build quality all round and much better output pickups/ preamps. The standard series would probably be similar. -
I’m the opposite. I don’t want a pre and like the idea of a roasted neck but I prefer the looks of the black/ maple V7 vintage. Hopefully they’ll add more options next year

I asked a month or so back and got no reply

Not the longevo strings - Elixir types
-
I wanted a Jaco signature fretless but preferred the refurbed bass of doom. I was looking at the Fender Artist series and realised I could get an Overwater for not much more. It’s closer to my preferences than the bass of doom, but it’s been inspired by it.
-
I just know the one time I try something like that I end up behind bars and on some terrible Channel 5 border documentary to be repeated on Dave forever.
-
I think this bass needs rebranding
-
Can only think it’s a tactic so the phone dies before Fender accepts payment
-
If that’s the only mark then I think 9.5 is justified. Looks like typical symbol knock

When a “shim” just won’t quite do it.

“FS - Professional repair job, as good as new, can’t notice it’s there” -
Just come across this video. It’s a long one but the playing is good and there’s a wide selection of basses. My preference is; Ken Smith favourite, 1966 P bass second and Fender Victor Bailey third. I was also surprised at how much I liked the Fender American Standard V tone.

Anyone on here buy a Rob Allen Deep 5 at auction yesterday?
Mrbigstuff replied to Denzel's topic in Bass Guitars
Some lovely old double basses for a luthier to repair coming up -
When I got a Sire you could only get them from Thomann. It won’t be long until they’re another mass produced product available at most retailers. There are lots of very talented luthiers all around the world, but often you have to commission a build before you get to try one.
-
Since the seller hasn’t been on the site since May, I advise sending them a PM. -
The thing I don’t get is why these chain stores all sell more or less the same stuff. PMT, Andertons, GAK, Guitar Guitar - there’s not much that they individually specialise in. Yet the independent stores that have a niche seem to get by - albeit with much lower overheads.

Blizzard Pearl or gloss black or a fancy figured top.
