    Give me a minute, but I'm pretty sure I saw a guy on Facebook selling two of these earlier this week! Edit: was selling both for £500. Maybe worth trying to see if they are still available
  2. BassApprentice
    Cant argue with that level of customer service 😅
  3. BassApprentice
    Ah the answer I was afraid of! But it does make sense as to why they are so revered.

    I just watched this video and that sounds killer and must be nice to get a wee shout out @ped. So for those of us who can't afford a Smith, how do I get close to that tone? He made that sound killer!

    Here to advocate La Bella White Nylons. I've got the Copper which are quite warm but the White are brighter, bonus is no finger noise and they come in standard and medium scale.

    Love that! (Except the bridge thing) almost exactly like the Joe Dart signature model if you're a fan of Vulfpeck etc.

    Some very nice looking basses in there! But my favourite was the way they displayed these left handed models 😅

    For those with something in mind, BassDirect are running 6 months 0% interest on all basses and amps...Welp.

      oooh, might have wished I hadn't read this, had my eye on a few bits on their site

      Worth noting that it's only for NEW products

    Well if you want to pretty much finish one then pass it on to me to finish that would be great 😁 These look great and with Mayones etc making tiny basses there is obviously desire for them (mostly from me)

    Nice haul for one week! Have to say if there's one trade deal I'd like the government to sort out it would be free imports from Japan. Everytime I'm looking for a bass on eBay there's an abundance of them in Japan in cooler/rare finishes 😅

    Hmmm, slight oversight on the burglary plan @TheGreek 😂 That looks great and is exactly what I imagine when I want a wee bass next to me on the sofa.
  12. BassApprentice
    Jeez, if everyone here had that sort of bass gear as their starting point! 😂 Very nice, enjoy!

    @Kev have you seen this thread? One 5er and 6er bought and reviews seem pretty good!
  14. BassApprentice
    On the issue of weight. It would have been really cool to see EB release a short scale Sterling. The shortie seems to be very decent by all accounts but the shrunk body looks a bit weird, granted I haven't seen it in the wood yet!
  15. BassApprentice
    That was exactly my point. Similar to the issue with the custom basses from BITE guitars, why mess with headstocks? I reckon most people would deal with a quirky design/twist to the body and a more reserved headstock design.
  16. BassApprentice
    Schecter seem to be making the right moves with some of their vintage inspired model and this is close, but the headstock. Yeesh. Not the worst but since they have far more standard looking headstocks in their arsenal it just looks odd.

    Hi @mikebass456 Looks like a lovely build but maybe start another topic of your own? Save it getting missed by others who might be interested!
  18. BassApprentice
    Very nice find! Going to keep an eye out for one of those in the near future.
  19. BassApprentice
    I have GAS for basses but it comes and goes...but I REALLY want one of these little basses. Looks so beautiful and I'm sure will play amazingly too 😍
  20. BassApprentice
    Reading @Shylock review of the JC made me have a quick look and see what's available. This ends today: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Epiphone-Jack-Casady-Bass-Metallic-Goldtop-Customised-with-Epiphone-Hardcase/164140665230?hash=item26378bc98e:g:PDAAAOSwkhxedN9t Seems a very fair price for the amount of extras added!
  21. BassApprentice
    Now come on, you're telling me I can't build a bass out of this old door with a sanding block and a junior hacksaw? 😅
  22. BassApprentice
    Check out Merchant City Music, based in Glasgow. Seems to have a good number of Talmans in stock but not that exact colour - could be that's last years colour? Give them an email and see. https://www.guitar.co.uk/guitars/bass/4-string?dir=asc&order=price

    Sitting listening to The Police and remember trying one of the Sting signature models years ago when I was too young to appreciate it. Can't remember seeing one for sale or anyone posting about them so just wondering what the general opinion of them is. Are they just a simple 50's P Bass with his signature slapped on the 12th fret?

    Found a picture of my old bass and now I want it back...I know who has it.

     

    Bugger.

      I tried that with an old bass of mine Luke. Understandably, the guy who bought it from me knew how good it was and couldn’t bare to part with it.

      I am still trying to trace an old P bass of mine that is apparently in a studio somewhere in Suffolk / Essex!

    Just watched the first 5 of these. What a lovely man he seems and I am SO envious of his technique. Making his bass and amp do the work rather than his fingers. Would love to be able to train myself to do that.
