UK Bass stores with widest range / stock.
BassApprentice replied to 40hz's topic in General Discussion
I've been into Bass Direct a few times and Mark has said he enjoys the challenge of finding someone the right bass. If it's there just go on and they'll try and help you find the right bass. Just have to be strong enough to resist the temptation if it is outside your budget 😂 -
If I could snag one of the 5ers for £600 that would be ideal 😁
-
And they're in stock!

Hey, look. Cort found a bass player down the back of the sofa https://www.instagram.com/tv/CbZ_uOfrzet/?utm_medium=copy_link

Not overly so, just actually play it would be excellent 😅
-
That video is....not great. Very generic and doesn't exactly sell the bass
-
That's a very fair price by all accounts. Will definitely be trying one.

Just spotted this on Facebook so had a better look. The GB moderns look fantastic and the Elricks don't look too shabby either. Loaded with ultralites, Nordstrands, Markbass and Babicz, will probably cost about £1700. Will be interesting to see how they stack up against other basses in this price range.

It's nice when something like a simple string change totally revitalises your bass!
-
Yup, that's definitely a Sandberg

Hell hath no fury like a pub rocker scorned.

If you need a replacement EHX Tube, looks like you might have a problem. Think the Chinese factory closed and now the Russian option is out of the picture.

Double post

I made the mistake of trying a Nighthawk 5 again in GuitarGuitar today. A VM5 is definitely the one, especially with the black label pickups. The sales guys did their very best but I'm just not in the right place to buy one. Definitely regret not buying one a couple of years ago when prices were lower 😅

Sounds very promising! I think I want a Spector, all the reviews seem so good but annoyingly I don't like the look or feel of the Legend series stuff, so I reckon it has to be the Euro. Which is a shame because they are expensive for the use of a bedroom bassist.... 😅 Maybe one day if I gig I'll treat myself to one.

That looks very greeeen

I think Gallery website needs updating from 2018 😂

Chowny/Retrovibe to become fully UK brands
BassApprentice replied to BassApprentice's topic in Bass Guitars
Not a unsubstantial amount of money in the price increase but get why. Guess it just pushes you into a slightly different tier of brand which is exciting! -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
BassApprentice replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
To throw another spanner in the works, there is Medium scale (32") basses available - most popular one to dip your toe in the water is the Ibanez Mezzo. Depending on when and if you want to try short scale and want the best possible start, I'd go for a Sandberg Lionel - P bass sounds and the quality is always spot on. -
If I wasn't building a P Bass, I'd be messaging my sister in Stratford-upon-Avon and see if she fancies a wee drive 😂

Absolute bargain if its still around for anyone near Oxford £95 https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/yamaha-bbn4-ii-bass-guitar/1426997451

What made you swop from Roundwounds to Flatwounds
BassApprentice replied to a topic in Accessories and Misc
I think in an ideal world we would 2 of each of our basses, one with rounds, one with flats 😁 I've had LaBella Cooper Tapes on my bass for a good while and I do miss the top end of rounds sometimes but appreciate the consistency of tapes/flats. Currently putting together a P Bass which I want to be my flats bass. -
Anyone else getting this? Seems like the link to the picture is broken?

A preloved ACGs the best value basses out there. Riduclous quality for the price of a Fender P bass.
