    As it happens, they are for that bleach- and perfume-loving nation the French. The word 'parfum' means scent AND flavour. Found that out years ago in 'gay (?!) Paris' when I ordered an ice-cream and the guy asked me what 'parfum' I wanted. Now isn't that interesting? I'll get me coat.

    True. Far more exact comment than I wrote.

    Almost new Harley Benton SpaceShip 40 with Hardcase and all that was delivered with it. Used only a few times at home, but put back in its box since I bought an HeadRush Core. OPENED TO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding DOM -TOM), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €60 EUR (£50 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros, furthermore the new price is €89 EUR or £77 GBP)!!! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU. Non-smoking environment as usual. What you see is what you get!

    There's a load of UK sites offering custom bass bodies, I've seen Paulownia offered on a couple (can't recall which), but I think given you want quite a niche model you'd be best off dropping each of them a message

    In response to a couple of PMs I'll post pics of each of these (and the two that don't fit in the box) in a day or so 👍
  9. Rolf started following Warwick 5 thumb

    I have an old 1988 NT5 and I have no issues with neck dive, the body is quite heavy so that helps balancing things out. The first fret seems a long way away if you're familiar with Fender type basses, I've played a couple of Warwicks before I got this so I got used to it quickly. It has THE Warwick sound, and the B string is probably the best I've encountered. It's also great in drop A tuning. They're certainly a little out of the ordinary but I love mine.

  18. kodiakblair started following Reverb was sold by ETSY to Fender.
  19. kodiakblair
    Anyone read the replies ? Post #1 says Reverb bought by Fender's owner's Servco r. What follows is a whole load of waffle where folk think Servco buying Reverb means they have FMIC running it, one eejit even says he's glad no generic private equity firms are in control. Guess joined up thinking is a thing of the past 🤣

    I've also always been very wary of couriers and instruments - however, recently I had a courier recommended to me by Manton Customs, who I was shipping a bass to for repair. https://lenspeedlogistics.com these guys are the real deal - the courier who collected my bass is a musician himself, and I gather the company was formed in part by musicians who were sick of having expensive equipment royally kicked about by the usual suspects. I can recommend them!

    This is my bitsa; Fender AVRI 62 neck, Fender MIJ P Bass body refinished in sonic blue nitro, a Creamery pickup, and a mix of Gotoh, Hosco, and Fender hardware. It's very light, coming in at 3-point-nine-something kg.

  29. Japhet started following Tube power stage vs Class-D (effective power)
  30. Japhet
    In my (limited) experience, I'd say that the volume delivered by a valve amp is more 'linear' than SS or class D. In other words, 8 is much closer to twice as loud as 4. Class D amps that I've had tend to get more 'shouty' without getting much louder whereas valve amps keep the inherent sound, albeit with a bit more drive, as they get pushed harder. These are my layman's terms which might work for some.

    Learning bass might give you some quick results with simple tunes, but like any instrument, it’s not easy and requires dedication and practise, so don’t pick the low end for an easy win, but because you are drawn to it. Whilst you can certainly learn to play by watching videos, reading literature and playing along with recordings, as @SpondonBassed says, it is by playing with others and the dynamics that that involves that you will learn best and become a properly rounded musician.
