Great version of I Try/Millionaire! There's a house band near me (that played our wedding actually) that does these 90s/00s tunes. So much fun!
-
I've been eyeing that BB414 with the gold-y bits for a good few weeks, but then that 1024X appeared With not much in the prices, for those who have tried both - which comes out on top?

https://www.omroepzeeland.nl/nieuws/17348909/bax-music-vraagt-uitstel-van-betaling-aan-ontslagen-broer-wil-bedrijf-terugkopen Need to translate from Dutch obviously.... Real shame if they both go in the space of a week, but there might be a whole load of stock going through auctions in the near future.

Hold on...Might not be so cut and dry. It could very well be on the edge, but I don't think you close for 7 days if you're in administration.

I missed the jack the first time round...6 knobs is impressive for a PJ setup

Another day, another bass showing that Yamaha can do really cool things but not for us mere peasants. Custom for Vicen Garcia
-
That's a nice bass you've got there. Obviously these are only photos and it is sometimes harder to see the fine details and potential imperfections...but I've seen second hand basses in stores that look fat worse than this! 😂 But as you said, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Going to be a great outcome for either way! -
Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass - *SOLD*
BassApprentice replied to Jono Bolton's topic in Basses For Sale
Really weird - after seeing the recent thread about the Matt Freeman video on here I thought I would like to try one of his P basses... And now one pops up. In Glasgow. Where I am 😂 -
Maybe I'm doing it wrong? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235994143550?_skw=reverend+bass&itmmeta=01JPW450QZ52DKN9DGG517X52A&hash=item36f258db3e:g:swMAAeSwgypnyyuB&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1eZJMpzIElWf8DoCNFMUATKqwTrSY7cCdvmf%2BnAwAaItvab1W2HBTcQ9sIGTEit4x0fsqjK%2FDvYMdPKJmzTzjC9I36qc4njJP8wdpux1gsfhWcHEVY6QSL8CIofjg%2FAZ24AFiwB%2BgIotq%2FZ9K4sR0xmVqhh7g8uXZns0tQf9f9vAQqXxqaFkURp8w6bDFrbx4JGdSXZgCLpNWqDsw%2BUMs5ADjfNqA7T%2BD%2FTlhxWGeCVph4F8VZDq6YmTD6ZxDgemDE%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5iMlIS3ZQ

ACG Salace fretless prototype, stunning. - *SOLD*
BassApprentice replied to reggieboomboom's topic in Basses For Sale
Is it sacrilegious that I want this but send it to Alan to get it fretted? Looks ace! -
Nipped into Guitar Guitar on my lunch and the guy was unpacking the brand new 4 string version for all you 5 string haters. £649 rrp. Nice.

Hi, I know Gumtree ads are a bit frowned upon here - but thought something like this might interest our left-handed players! Can't see there being too many left-handed 32" P Basses being available without going custom!

NBD: Sei - the B better be good on this!
BassApprentice replied to Woodinblack's topic in Bass Guitars
Wait, that wasn't a typo. 43"? Wild. Looking forward to some full length pictures, can't quite wrap my head around how it might look 😅 I imagine Newtone might be some use for new strings. -
The necks are an interesting one - it is obviously a very well regarded product made to consistently high standards. But every brand who has made them (Modulus, Moses and Status) have stopped doing so. Is either too expensive or too much hassle for them to do it. Or were they too popular and they just couldn't keep up with demand whilst making full basses? Considering you can get cheap carbon bike products from China now, I'm surprised there isn't necks from them. Not that I would expect them to be the same as a Status.

Westone "The Rail" Bass - A down to earth question
BassApprentice replied to rwillett's topic in Bass Guitars
Having read this - the answer surely lies with @rwillett speaking to the guy who did the work i n @Happy Jacks Rail? Considering he stripped it all out. Looking forward to seeing what the grand plan is - always room for less conventional basses in the world. -
Well @brickers bought one and had a look. Think he's returned it now but the picture should give you idea of what you can do. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/509674-nbd-hils-hnb3-black/#findComment-5427212

If you're looking for cheap and cheerful - Montana Gold. Loads of colours and sprays quite well. I've used it a couple of times and the only problem was my patience with sanding and waiting 😅
-
As Tom said, Sire is probably the most failsafe option for trying something in the market these days. It might not be for you - but it will be good quality.
-
I occasionally look at Gumtree and always noticed that there was loads listed for Ashton-Under-Lyne, normally the Yamaha TRBs mentioned in the thread already

Maybe I priced this a bit keenly initially... I'll do a deal of £150 delivered for this weekend only! -
I think he was probably just misunderstanding your writing of "many years ago" and "It was loooong ago" as meaning longer than 10 years, which is understandable. Anyway, back on topic. I've only tried them in shops, but the 604 has technically nicer finishes, but biggest difference is the controls. The 304 has the presets, which are actually pretty cool, but again this is only from briefly playing. The 604 had a fill 3 band so was a bit more control and can really dial in your tone if you want. Both feel pretty similar, maybe the 604 had a slightly nicer neck. You'd probably be pretty happy with either if you like the look and shape, but electronics are different so need to consider that.

Reverend Thundergun, finally some hot new colors!
BassApprentice replied to jd56hawk's topic in Bass Guitars
Nipped into Merchant City music today for a wander. Decided to try some of the Reverends. The colours are always so good in that range! Tried the Thundergun, Mercalli and Decision P. All basses very similar fit and finish wise. Really nice necks. Mercalli and Thundergun very similar to me, found the tone good, but the tone became quite treble heavy with not too much turning of the tone knob. Not bad but not quite for me. Decision P just felt better for me, pickup placement for my anchor points and just liked the tone. If one or two more things sell I might be tempted... Venetian gold Thundergun pic attached -

For your daily dose of super niche music memorabilia - I got the fancy VIP Tickets way back in 2005 and it came with this merch package of the following: Tour Programme EVO Premium Pas Signed copy of the Real Illusions Album An 18-track 'An Interview With Steve Vai' CD (unopened) a 'Vai logo' pink guitar plectrum with facsimile signature There is currently a very similar package available elsewhere for £125(! Very optimistic pricing....) A cool bit Steve Vai memorabilia for that shred guitar fan!
