    As Andy has sad, pretty much that, found a picture which clarifies that.

    This is some roller-coaster you're on mate!

    Oooh now that's a very tempting idea for my 425....How much we talking? Less than £150?

    Played some VERY nice Sandbergs today. 

     

    If my G&L doesn't up its game in the near future it could be facing the chop!

      @discreet does this tickle your whatsit (or your wotsit) any? I err *cough* know the seller very well *cough* and can highly recommend him as an absolute gent (that's gent, 'K?) to deal with.

      @Osiris It would indeed be very ticklish but for the usual problem! Thanks for the link though, none of this is helping me spend money on all the piddling crap I really don't want to spend it on, but have to. Bah! :(

    Yikes..... You always want couriers to prove you wrong but.....

    Nevermind, quick phone call and they changed my order to a kind of "pre-order" for 45-105. Love it when customer service works!
  8. BassApprentice
    Damn, NYXL out of stock in my preferred gauges, ordered a set of 45-100 and I'll see how I get on. Thanks for the heads up!

    Got the old girl out of her case and gave her a bit of clean. Not bad considering she's close to 40!

    I see GuitarGuitar Glasgow have some Sandberg 48s in.....

    Think I'll happen to be passing by in the near future.

    Maybe August is the month for this funk machine to find a new home?

    Yikes, a bit shady but that's the internet these days! I can see him being annoyed but you have to appreciate the model Eastwood Custom are going for. Trying to build different basses and only doing it for people who really want them, I think it's cool. I'm intrigued to see how this model turns out anyway!

    I've never been drawn the the violin bass before, but if they do it in the darker finish that would look ace. https://eastwoodcustoms.com/projects/klira-beatle-bass/

    Something like this?

    Here's my small collection on white/cream basses. Looks good if you ask me! 😬
  16. BassApprentice
    I saw a Jackson Minion in a shop the other day and it reminded me how much fun those small basses are to play. My question is....could you cut off the headstock and make them headless? Are there 4 string string clamps that would fit the smaller necks? Very much just a pipe dream just now but could be a fun project! Any input is always welcomed
  17. BassApprentice
    Ideal for a self build, if that includes rebuilding the headstock....

    I see A LOT of praise for the Keeley compressors, now they have combined it with their Overdrive. I imagine this will sell very well https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2018/07/18/keeley-electronics-introduces-the-aria-compressor-and-overdrive-pedal/

    So I contacted the website when I saw the post about having info. Seems its good news! Obviously we aren't all as fortunate to have such wide exposure available to us but great to hear he'll get his bass back! If it was your tip off, great work @2x18!

    Or try a message on here too: @devinebass is his username!
  21. BassApprentice
    They look like a mix between an ACG Recurve and an MTD, not a bad look to be going for!
  22. BassApprentice
    OH MAN! What a bass. Unfortunately it won't be mine but I'm sure it plays as good as it looks!
  23. BassApprentice
    Through the wonders of the Instagram algorithm this beautiful bass popped up. Appears to be a Chinese luthier but the translated website isn't too helpful. Anyone know much about them? Rough prices? Ta
  24. BassApprentice
    I had one of those exact HB Stingray 5s. Was massively impressed for the price and think I would have been ok with it at full price to be honest. Only sold it to fund a bass I had been waiting ages for. My plan was to bling it up with gold hardware Maybe another time...

    Was at the Blues Kitchen in Brixton last night and there was a house band playing R&B/Soul. All good. Apart from they didn't have a bass player 😅. 

    Made for slightly odd listening.

      I think it was Sister Cookie? Very good but very much lacked a bass player! 

       

      It gets worse, saw Steve Winwood yesterday. He didn't have a bass player either!! I know it's rare to spot us in the wild but I didn't think we were that endangered!

      Death to all Hammond players!

      Steve Winwood rarely uses a bass player. He plays bass pedals on his Hammond. And very well too, I may add. He is also a very handy bass player himself.
