As others have said, just needs a touch more refinement on its squashiness. Looks a bit too wide at the controls. Sure it sounds ace though!

Instagram just threw up this: Looks good right? What if I told you these start at $400? OK what if I told you they do another model called the Airborne is available in 30", 27", 25.5" and 22.75" , 18" scale length and the necks are interchangable. This model is obviously more expensive but a bass that can from sofa/hotel practice to gig ready sounds pretty cool...have a look https://www.mauriziouberbasses.com/mubgx3m

If you're looking a smaller bass for home/casual use look at the Ibanez Mezzo. 32" scale and P J set up perfect for potential upgrades. Probably made in the same factory as the Cort so will be on par quality wise!

I've messaged them when potentially shipping basses and they were very reassuring that their insurance covers them and the quotes never came out too expensive. Never followed through with those sales so haven't actually used them but appreciated the responsiveness

Saw Stereophonics last night and Richard Jones played pretty much every iteration of the new BB series throughout the set. Looked the dogs b******* in a big stage setting.

I had almost forgotten about these basses as I haven't seen one since I tried one in Guitar Guitar. If the 5er is as much fun as the 4 it will be hard to resist.

Anyone in the SE able to get this to help make @AndyTravis BBM a reality? Black BB424 https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/yamaha-bass-guitar/1368493735?utm_source=com.google.android.apps.docs&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_android Price: £ 80

If you're not sure about spec my inclination would be to email Adrien and Co. Since they've now made 100s of Elwoods they must have seen nearly every combo they have available and know how it sounds. I'll order my own custom one day but like you, just not sure which bits makes a difference when ordering! 😅

Jeez Jabba, they look amazing!

As a very guilty pleasure I went to see McBusted (I grew up in the 90s/early 2000s) and the bass player there used a Sterling with LEDs. Very cool 😎

Without realising they had a narrower nut width than standard I tried a Ray35 without the carve. I compared it with a Sub 5 and while the fit and finish was far better than the Sub I did miss the carve but that's personal preference of course.

Why are there so few EBMM Sterlings out in the wild? Or why have they made a version in the Sterling Range (would that just be too confusing?) The smaller body shape must appeal to a fair amount of us so only having them in the full fat versions seems illogical.

I get the feeling @cristian wants us to look at the Grossman over at Bass Direct 😅😉

If he's got access to the Ashdown production line rather than being part of the partnership by name only he might get these done. The 1930 looks really cool.

Hmmm, that's not cheap but kind of what I was expecting. Was going to hold off anyway until there's a few real world experiences/reviews.

Just doing a quick search of Phil Jones related things. Hopefully you've got it sorted but I went through Synergy Distribution and they were beyond helpful!

Saw that on Facebook earlier. Was very tempted but too far from Scotland. How is it?

Wow. That is exactly what I think everyone wanted from this pedal. Don't think it will compete with Helix but Boss and Zoom should be worried.

Unless you really need/want that Fender tone, I can't see why this couldn't have a space in a short scale collection. I can't think (happy to be proved wrong) of a readily available short scale with a single humbucker.

Oh, £650. I was intrigued by the full fat Ernie Ball Short Scales but at this price I'm very tempted. I wanted a no frills short scale and this could sort that right out.

Looks like it will give a nice, round tone.

That Ashbury looks very like the ones that appear all over AliExpress for less. Check this thread for some ideas!
