    Now, if you just wrap it in a nice fireproof blanket and let me know when and where you plan to perform this funeral, I'll be glad to watch it to make sure it all goes to plan😅

    The Pros look great but the new standard in the trans blue has really caught my eye

    Wee Dino on my BB. Hidden by my arm when playing but adds a splash of colour to it!

    I primarily practice through headphones and just recorded myself for the first time in a long time.....Yikes.

    Very sloppy - need to tighten the technique up!

  5. BassApprentice
    Granted that does seem narrow but isn't the bass super lightweight?
  6. BassApprentice
    Dead quick, are the tuners on a Mex Fender better or on par with Wilkinsons? Are either lighter/heavier? There's a set of Fender ones on Facebook for the same price as Wilkinson ones so just trying to make a decision. For reference, it's for a Bronco project.

    Jeez you are fair shifting through gear just now! 😅 But then you end up with this, very nice indeed!
  8. BassApprentice
    Yeah seems like they skimped on having that as an option. Could probably be done fairly easily if the wires are all there.
  9. BassApprentice
    That would be about right looking at the price bracket of the other Tribute models. Unfortunately I fear it will be £599 as a lot of brands now do that for new releases....but to be fair it would be right up against the short scale Stingray.

    So I'm toying with replacing my BB425 with a jazz bass style 5 string. Basically it was going to be the Sire in burgundy - until I found this. I know that Revelation are well respected at the budget end but a quick search didn't bring much for this model. So anyone seen or tried this? Looks mint.

    Ahem

    Seems the music instrument market is a bit of a racket just now. Korg, Roland and GAK all fined with others apparently on strong warnings.... Might be a good time to ask for a discount 😅 https://guitar.com/news/korg-roland-and-gak-fined-5-5m-for-price-fixing-by-uk-watchdog/?fbclid=IwAR3ivWtDwiPYBuEB0DRpLPvDUDZ4vCtCWT9aM89ivTIgrzC4yVwwpmu-4gc

    Oh of course, but they have one of the few configurators where I don't spit my tea out when I'm finished speccing up my build.

    Here's a question, obviously going to get a slightly biased response but are Sandberg one of the most approachable guitar companies? I might not be asking quite the right question but they seem to be one of the few companies that you could buy on a shop wall or ask them to make you something very similar to what you tried in a shop for very similar money.

    And here's me swooning over the burgundy Sire/Bass Collection.... And I'm in Scotland..... But alas, Covid prevents it. Super cool bass otherwise.
  16. BassApprentice
    Pretty solid customer service response there.
  17. BassApprentice
    Already another thread to avoid cross posting!
  18. BassApprentice
    And there's me thinking, I'm happy with my 4 string basses just now. Oh how naïve 😅 EDIT: A very solid colour selection which is nice to see!

    Anyone know of any shops in Scotland that stock Sire? I know I could easily buy online and return if it doesn't work out but would like to try before I buy (in the future of course)

      I am not 100% sure but it looks like Andertons  have got the UK pretty much sewn up, although there might be one or two other U.K. stockists.  Good luck with your search.

    2. Rich

      Yup, from what I can see your choice is pretty much Andertons, Thomann, or secondhand.

      Thought it might be the case. Just looked and there's 262 Sire bass variations! That's mad! 

  20. BassApprentice
    While the headstock is debatable, don't see much wrong with that. No one else around the £1000 is offering it so....😅
  21. BassApprentice
    That looks cool! I can see what @LukeFRC means too.
  22. BassApprentice
    I had a pickup in a old bass that had foam that had melted or broken down over time and became pretty solidly stuck. I just levered it out slowly with a screwdriver/kitchen knife over a few attempts as to not just rip it out. Could be something similar here.
  23. BassApprentice
    I'll admit - I have no clue who B&G are but this bass looks quite nice if semi-hollow is your thing. The reason I'm sharing as I think the launch/demo video is quite novel - get 3 bass players to all jam using the same bass to give a pretty good idea how it sounds in different players hands. Quite a nice wee jam it is too.

    Another fun 5 minutes on the configurator - €1,500....
  25. BassApprentice
    If someone or the OP wants a good bass - £475 will get you one!
