    Yeh that was what I was going to do initially but couldn’t work out a deal on one I saw secondhand without losing too much money. I’ve also messaged Hiscox on the off chance business is slow and they have time to answer.

    Mine arrived! Just in time too as I was about to invade @ped’s house and confiscate his basses.

    You’d think the flats would be softest though, with them being flat and all.

    I’m just north of there and nothing here either. I’m thinking someone’s hijacked the lorry.

    Has anyone done this before? I don’t like the colour inside my Hiscox case and wanted something a bit more vintage colour wise. Not sure if it’s just easier to buy a new case but it’s be better to keep this one as it’s branded.

    That’d be my vote

    I’m stinky poo with tools/ electronics and like a smooth gloss finish. It’d be a complete waste of my time when I could instead be learning tunes. Whereas I can just pay someone who enjoys doing those things to do it really well. Edit: didn’t realise you cannot swear on basschat and it swaps out your words. What a pishtake 😂

    Can it be without a scratch plate or is there routing underneath?

    My postman is going to be stalked for the next few days

    I’m not sure those old jap basses are significantly ahead of current US models though and go for a similar price. I think these days some buy them as an investment rather than seeking the holy grail.

    I’ve played a few JVs and those early 80’s Fullerton reissues and I really didn’t see the fuss especially for the prices they go for. But then I like most 70’s jazz basses I’ve played which are often described as only good for firewood.

    I had earmarked this because I’m a fan of Stanley but that was hard work. I watched over 10 minutes but couldn’t stand anymore. It’s so badly cut together and produced and there was so little content.
  13. Mrbigstuff
    Phwoar! @Al Krow didn’t you want one of these?
  14. Mrbigstuff
    So, is no one going to mention the scratch plate?
  15. Mrbigstuff
    To improve playability get a fret dress. Most used basses need one, especially if mass produced.

    Jesus, set the goddam guitar up before demoing and there might be a nice tone in there. CLANK CLANK CLANK

    I guess it depends on our circles 🤷‍♂️ I haven’t seen an ampeg or ashdown on a stage in about 10 years. Anyway back on topic 🤣
  18. Mrbigstuff
    Maybe in arenas or stadiums where the artists aren’t paying full whack for them, but the smaller gigs I’ve seen over the last 10 years or musicians I know doing the covers/ function stuff tend to use Markbass, Bergantino, Vanderklay, Barefaced, Aguilar ect. Aguilar is still my favourite amp manufacturer but can’t justify a DB751 or DB cabs.
  19. Mrbigstuff
    Good to know
  20. Mrbigstuff
    There was a huge push for lightweight cabs with the introduction of mark bass and bergantino and some brands such as EBS, Ashdown and Eden got left behind. Apparently Trace Elliot were hugely popular at a time but when I got serious about playing they were only known for reliability issues.

    Well you can’t not say who this builder is after that. Someone here might be about to pull the trigger....
  22. Mrbigstuff
    So far I’ve bought some strings and the basschat strap locks. As the strap locks haven’t arrived yet the strings are currently both the best and worst 😂
  23. Mrbigstuff
    He was a fantastic and innovative musician no matter the instrument. I’m sure he worked it out
  24. Mrbigstuff
    Definitely not fender, maybe vintage Japanese or Korean?
  25. Mrbigstuff
    Even worse then. I see it all the time with Sires, Fenders, Sadowsky’s..... Mostly on eBay or Facebook tbf
