    I've had a 425 and loved the neck but just found it ungainly overall, I doubt a 4 string would be much different but they look SO COOL 😅
  2. BassApprentice
    You can go years without seeing an orange BB for sale and now there's 2 in as many days 😂 Very tempted...
  3. BassApprentice
    Scrolling through Facebook, oh that's a decent price for a Miller 5 string. Oh wait, none Fender? Eh? Oh.....

    Just contacted Merchant City Music as they have the black up on preorder. Saying July but could be September or later for them and other colours. Boo, but very much looking forward to these
  5. BassApprentice
    Could you measure the D and the G on the LaBellas? Reckon they would stretch to a 4 in a row headstock?
  6. BassApprentice
    Oooh very interested in that. Solid base for adding almost anything into that.
  7. BassApprentice
    That's an absolute belter - shame about the tiny imperfections but would give you peace of mind that you didn't scratch it first! 😂
  8. BassApprentice
    To be fair, if you listen to a lot of Killers Mark Stoermer has a very distinctive tone and has some nice bass lines too. Good song with a lot of memories attached to it.
  9. BassApprentice
    Thanks for that. I'd be tempted to route a bit more and stick either a double JJ or humbucker in there so I can get a proper bridge tone and just a bit more flexibility.
  10. BassApprentice
    Well. Guess you're getting new sofas then! 😁

    Do we know if these are the same pickups that are in the Mezzo? Tempted to go for a shorter scale 5 string but not sold on the SR shape or the pickup placement
  12. BassApprentice
    Still not a huge fan of the SR shape, but I'm really enjoying my Bronco mod and my Kingston 35" 5er just feels a bit cumbersome. How do owners find the bridge pickup? It looks a bit far from the bridge for my liking, does it still do the bridge J noise reasonably well?

    Has anyone played the V5 passive and have also played a V7. Wondering how they compare? I keep trying to avoid wanting one but curiosity is getting the better of me...
  14. BassApprentice
    Another bass I don't understand how it's still here? For all I know, these are every bit as good as the Sterling range and they don't do this classic natural look.
  15. BassApprentice
    Have a read of this thread. It's just a few posts down 😅

    Was out for a cycle in the sunshine and there was a band jamming out in the park. The first live music I've seen in over a year, was a properly happy moment!

      Cycling and live music - or 'bike and bass' - my two loves! Fantastic :)

    I had an electra VS4 and it was so good. I just didn't want a P Bass and it was hugely impractical and costly to add a MM pickup to it. Fit and finish was Sandberg quality and hardware is exactly the same. I'm as big a fan of the TT shape but it will be very good I'm sure of it.

    Happy to collect and organise shipping if the seller can't do that for you @Al Krow 😅
  19. BassApprentice
    Have to say, it speaks for the quality, quick search of eBay/Gumtree and there are remarkably few used ones available. Considering these are on back order new it means they are being kept!
  20. BassApprentice
    And that's where I lose interest, the whole thing is the value for money, not the fancy finish.
  21. BassApprentice
    Every time a Sire thread gets started, my resolve gets slightly thinner....wish the did the roasted maple from the V5 with the active preamp... 😅
  22. BassApprentice
    This site was suggested in another thread https://guitarandbassbuilds.com/ £110 for a custom routed body seems pretty reasonable!
  23. BassApprentice
    That looks ace! Will see if I can justify sneaking it into house... 😅
  24. BassApprentice
    Solid choice, even if you don't use it too often it's so useful and if you do sell it you won't lose much at all.
  25. BassApprentice
    Has anyone use the 3" DiMarzio cliplock straps? Quite like the idea of being able to have one strap for multiple guitars
