I've now convinced myself that I need to get a burgundy bass with a tort scratchplate 😅
-
This is purely hypothetical as my current situation means I can't afford don't need any form of new bass but it's a question that I've pondered a fair few times. If I were to get a bass made for me, do I go 4 or 5? I play both and appreciate they both have their uses and advantages. I view 4 string as the instrument where I can do more technical tricks like slapping etc but 5s for me cover a lot of bases and I do like having the 5th string. So really, I'm asking what people in a similar situation did when commissiong their first big expensive toy and why they chose 4 or 5?

If I were a richer man this would be mine! Best of luck. -
That's really cool! Must be super compact -
So the time has come to sell my amp - I've toyed with this for a long time but I am not going to be in a band and I mostly play in headphones so this is up for sale. If you know about Phil Jones, you know the quality you're getting. Whilst this is a slightly older model this is basically new, all 4 speakers have been replaced and haven't been used for anything louder than indoor use since they were replaced. Also comes with a cover Here are the official specs: • 2 channel 300 W amp (180W into internal speakers) • 4 x high power 5” drivers in computer designed 8Ω enclosure Each input features; • Active/Passive input • 5 band eq (50Hz/160Hz/630Hz, 2.5kHz/12kHz) • Optical compressor/limiter (switchable/adjustable) • Headphone out • Balanced line out XLR DIi) • Effects return • Extension speaker out (taking the output to 300 W with extra 8Ω cab w/speakon) •Dimensions; 16.5 H x 13.5 W x 17.5 D •Weight - 49lb/23kgs I am happy to ship it but it being 23kg it won't be cheap, happy to get you a quote though. Also happy to meet up to arrange collection. Any questions let me know! -
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! -
Granted that does seem narrow but isn't the bass super lightweight?
-
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!
-
Yeah seems like they skimped on having that as an option. Could probably be done fairly easily if the wires are all there.
-
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.

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.

SOLD😀👍Fender Stu Hamm Urge USA for sale. Excellent condition

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. -
Pretty solid customer service response there.
-
Already another thread to avoid cross posting!
-
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)

While the headstock is debatable, don't see much wrong with that. No one else around the £1000 is offering it so....😅
