ChazzJEUK Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1501861507' post='3347888'] I keep looking at this and thinking "you could put flats on it and then it'd really compliment your DJ5" and then sanity returns........someone buy this and save me from me (and then ultimately, the wife) [/quote] It's got some pretty awesome La Bella Flats on her already You're welcome to come try it!

Graham Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) I used to have one, so quite familiar with them, though it sounds like yours has a different neck profile, the one I used to have had a very narrow jazz neck, to the point where it made a jazz feel chunky Edited August 4, 2017 by Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the most comfortable neck profiles I've felt tbh. Definitely a comfortable midway between a J and a P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahfish Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1501861344' post='3347885'] Yeah, i cant stand white, and on a bass like this i felt a darker colour brought the colour out more. This was the same bass with a pearl PG on. quite a different look.

I like the pearloid ones but plain white is abit boring in my opinion. But others like the traditional look so I've included a white one too if anyone prefers it to the black one.

ChazzJEUK Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVywx11d8Bs&t=4s Shot a quick overview video of the bass as I've had a lot of questions. As stated its currently strung with La Bella Flatwounds and comes with a black hardcase. Im happy to post within the UK for a postage price of £25 extra. so all in all £525 posted. Absolute bargain if you ask me. If anyone has anymore questions please don't hesitate to shoot me a pm. Cheers C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanry Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hi Chazz, D"D"D was probably my first or second inspiration to play the bass, and what my other two basses are missing is a decent P-sound. So I am tempted... Could you pop it one some scales please and tell me the weight? I tried a Lakland 44 P yesterday and as lovely as it was, it was pretty heavy :-) Thanks, Hanry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my scales (albeit about 15 years old) it's 8lbs exact! They'r pretty reliable so I'm gonna go with 8lbs or just a touch over Cheers!
