You will be hard pressed to make much money from an originals act.

The neck isn’t. Put a maple fingerboard on and it will be a different sound!

Funnily enough when I see a bass I often think, ahh that’s great if only it was a 5!

Depends if you want to risk your name/ legacy or not. If he has enough money to enjoy retirement and pass a bit on, he may not what to.

Hope you’re right and it’s just a scam but there’s nothing about changing bank details which you’d usually see on a scam attempt.

I would have said Fodera but might be a struggle budget wise 😅 i always associated Ibanez basses to have lots of top end but then I was never keen on the low end of their sound.

Won’t ever sell mine, fantastic cases.

Under the signal path laws you’re still in

I guess that is it. These are specs that I can take or leave. The 34.5 scale length intrigues me though because I struggled previously with a 35” so need to try one.

It’d be good to hear one in a side by side comparison to the more common super jazz favourites like Sadowsky (US), Overwater or Fender Ultra. I’ve had two Sire’s and never had any issues with setup, electronics or hardware but understand I might have been lucky.

I’ve been following what they’ve done on FB for a long while now and love the sounds I hear from the demos. There’s one on here in my favourite green colour. My problem is that my Sire is very very good and I don’t think the Anaconda will be enough of an improvement to warrant the price difference.

Bass bros have one

The philippe dubrieulle jazz bass I once played and missed out on. It was for sale in Wunjos maybe 15-20 years ago and never to be seen again. I check online occasionally just to see if it’s resurfaced but no such luck.

I think we’ve deduced it happened but isn’t a sign of originality that can be used to accurately date a Fender bass. An interesting find nevertheless.

“Shall we fix it Leo?” “Nah who is ever going to notice that!” 60 years later….. 😂

Sounds just like a bass balls to me

I have had a few Warwick’s and love them, but I’ve played a few Spectors and never gelled with the necks or sound. Although the streamer shape was copied, I wouldn’t say they’re the same at all.

That’s his effort at stringing the listener along. Otherwise everyone would click out after 2 mins and he wouldn’t get his revenue. All of these fellow YouTubers that have made videos are doing so to take a slice of the audience share. They may not make money off a video if they share audio from the whatever the guitarist is called, but they get the increase in subscribers and ratings, as well as a boost for their other videos that do make revenue. And as for stealing licks and passing them off as your own, jazz soloists did this way back when. Only difference is they couldn’t transcribe them so easily note for note as most recordings were bootleg. As with any music you create, get it registered on PPL and PRS.

Good idea in principle but not all guitars are identical, with woods being a natural product. Then if they’re second hand it’s how they’ve been treated, one could have a warped neck and never been setup, the other looked after meticulously. if it was me and I was spending that sort of money, the trips would be worthwhile but I also know these models tend to sell fairly fast.

I imagine the majority of his basses still have these on. From what I’ve heard he doesn’t tend to change them.

Sounds flashy. I worry a bass like that would be like a one night stand. A lot of fun for the moment but once you start dealing with the complexities regularly, you realise a passive tone and volume type girl/ bass gives a consistent good time 😂

Doesn’t reach the fretboard either 😂

What would it do that your current basses can’t? I’m sure we can help you save yourself!
