    Or if you can forego the amp and want a something a bit more traditional for £115 https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQc7eNG

    I might keep an eye on it. AliExpress tend to have random sales so if it gets down to around about £150, it could be worth a punt. Especially as it seems to have an built-in headphone amp.

    $4000 down to $450 is always a bit suspect, but it does look cool!

    JB-62CC Mini SP - Harley Benton https://share.google/PcjFJeHxomT5Dheq6 A 23inch scale Jazz bass might do the trick?

    If I wasn't so sensible, that Decision P would be hanging on my wall. So good.

    When I was younger, I had pictures of BC Rich, Warlocks and Buzzards as my desktop background, so was definitely in to a bit more ostentatious basses. I still like to do things a bit differently. Whether it be a Yamaha BB over a Fender PJ or a Reverend over Fender, that type of thing.

    It's an easy mistake to make. The P and the T are on the same row of the keyboard at least 😂

    Another option for all you medium scalers - Gretsch CVT Electromatic. Looks cool for around £500

    Can't be too much help, but it's a cool looking thing! Most likely a Korean made bass made for a number of brands. A quick Google image search brought up Wood doing a bass very similar. Googling Mazeti brings up a whole bunch of those 5 and 6 string basses that brands like Shine etc do. By no means a bad thing to come from one of those types of factories! Enjoy.

    In my teenage days playing at a Student Union where I'd just got a fancy wireless kit. Got carried away and decided to jump off the stage. Wireless receiver drops out of bass, hits the floor and battery goes flying....

    For under £2k you can pick up 2 ACG five strings on here right now. Absolutely bonkers.

    Not sure about the tuners, by the decal is very straightforward. Sand off, tidy up, apply new decal, varnish/clear coat over. Done.

    It's almost impressive how much they can increase the prices between the US and other markets now. 48% difference in retail prices between the US and the UK. Right enough.

    If it ends up looking anything like your Thunder-me-wotsit Mustang thing - this will look ace! Like you, I'm bad at fretless. Then you listen to Pino or a bit of Pearl Jam and think I NEED one. Think I've had 4 or 5 fretless basses, none of which have lasted after gathering dust 😅

    It's a bit of a weird one from a market segment POV. Ernie Ball will know the price of used basses. A new USA MM of any sort has gone up a fair bit, with Sterling being "premiumised" and the SUB being not so budget anymore. So you can have a new Sterling for the same price as a used US model, in probably more interesting colours. They are probably getting it right, but the best selling bass from Music Man recently was the Joe Dart budget range...make of that what you will.

    After a bit of hiatus, Instagram threw this up for me. The Corsell Ventura

    A genuine bargain for a brand new Electra for anyone interested

    It's funny that two of the most well liked Fender signature basses are from rocks bassists from the 90s (or late 80s if you will) and are both roadworn/reliced. Might be nothing in those two coincidences but just crossed my mind there.

    I unashamedly love Reverend as a brand. Both their basses and guitars just look so cool and and great twists on classic silhouettes. Plus the build quality and pickups are great. Even though I don't own one, I reckon it was time to start a fan thread so people can post their basses (and guitars) if they want But the colours, man the colours. Just always doing something a bit different. Today is no different. A few new releases and I'm a fan of all 3 of the basses.

    Not my vibe - but one for the flash gits among us 😂

    Award for the Best Value Bass of the Month award goes to this.
  24. BassApprentice
    As my post above. GuitarGuitar Glasgow has one and I know if you pop a deposit they will move it to your closest store to try.
  25. BassApprentice
    No I never went through with that idea...always tempting though as the pickups were reasonably priced when I last looked. I assume the situation is the same, try and order via GuitarGuitar or Andertons and see where you get to
