2008 James Trussart Steelcaster PJ Bass. Hand made in 2008 for Simon Rix of The Kaiser Chiefs. Certificate of authenticity and original hard case included. The body finish is called Antique Silver and has a paisley engraved guard & headstock. It has a bolt-on Maple Neck with a Rosewood fingerboard and a recessed steel head cap. Other features include an active pre-amp and Arcane Inc. Hand Wound P&J pickups. Fully set up in our workshop. Nut width:38.75mm. Depth at 1st fret:22.25mm. Weight:10 lbs 7.5 oz. The Steelcaster Bass offers a new and distinctive addition to the bass world. Patented "Holey" steel is used for the completely hollow body, reducing weight and eliminating feedback. This bass has a hollow steel body with perforated steel and custom metal appointments, like the recessed steel head cap that is beautiful to look at and functional, by adding mass to the headstock it increases sustain. The steel body while also being the perfect medium to display the beautiful Trussart custom finishes and engravings also has tonal advantages. The Trussart SteelCaster Bass' tone is a uniquely classic, fat and resonant tone combined with an edge that cuts through. The construction of these instruments is only half of the story, the other half is the finish, every instrument comes with a history and a slight element of neglect, of decay, so it has a personality of its own. 2700 euros (+ shipping everywhere) Bass located in France. Open to trade for 4 strings bass, trade value 3200 €5 points -

And to the fretboard. I had to mod my radius jig a little bit to take the modern sides (G&W now sell a Mark 3 and a Mark 4 and some bits for earlier Marks but it isn't clear which Mark one has in the first place - Carlos, please note!) but that said, this is one of the best investments I've ever made... A bit of set up, and a lot of hoovering afterwards, but this in under 20 minutes as opposed to two and a half days of anguish and dust, followed by three weeks in an institution to recover and then back to find it's tapered, dipped and skewed and a further four weeks in the institution! It then needs a further 30 minutes of hand sanding to get rid of the router lines (good chance to replenish the jar of ebony dust ) And ready for slotting4 points

I sometimes use multiple commas just to fit in with other people who use multiple commas. I guess that makes me a comma comma comma comma comma chameleon. .3 points

TL/DR. haven't watched the whole video, but has anyone mentioned that the method of recording the audio was never ever going to reveal the tonal differences clearly between the instruments, I can hear just a huge amount of room modes interfering with the captured sound. That said, I rather like the look of these basses and if nothing else will let my curiosity find some more videos of them elsewhere. So, job well done in that respect.3 points

Highly recommend @Quatschmacher online tutorials! Plus the Squeezer is awesome but a total PITA to programme unfortunately. Still love it though.3 points

Nah it's rubbish is that. The good news is that I'm going to the tip later this week, so if you give it to me I can dispose of it for you...😇3 points

Thanks for the advice so far. For a little more background, the reason I'm looking is that I have £700 sat in the bank which will fritter away over time as money always does leaving me nothing to show for it. I'm also waiting for a heart transplant which the chances of receiving are pretty low, so I figure if I get myself a half decent bass, it's a nice treat for me, and my Mrs shouldn't have too much trouble moving it on should the worst happen.3 points

That’s very kind of you, thanks. I’m in Sheffield. I’d be happy to give you a lesson or two on the C4 to return the favour. (I did this for @dodge_bass via video chat and it worked reasonably well.) Here’s my tutorial patch: https://neuro.sourceaudio.net/preset/DyV1RQhBhF3 points

A used Fender Japan bass. IMO great construction quality, lovely playing basses, and becoming more sought after. I've had a few (still have two) played several others, and not come across a bad one yet. Possibly more consistent in build quality than their US counterparts over the years?3 points

8 strings? Wow, four too many for my skill level 😉 Preamp recommendations: 1. Hazlab (but pretty expensive), 2. Tonepump with trimpot. 3. Aguilar OBP 2 or 3 Pickup recommendations: 1. EMG 35P4X, 2. EMG 35DCX or a combination of both (P4X for the neck, DCX for the bridge)3 points

Here is my other models! 19” scale mini basses! Really popular and fun to play! The 6 string mini basses are tuned as normal 6 string but with really light strings. The full scale 35” fretless 6 string has a new bridge from yesterday. It was so hard to find super long scale strings (only 1-2 models) so this was the best option. Now I can’t have what ever strings I like. Usually daddario or rotosound. anyhow all my basses are for sale off course. I build all the string options you like. No problem. Imagine a 8 string mini ohhh so excited hahah Ps the fretless mini has a epoxy fretboard ! Really Interesting3 points

Cort made the Hohner versions as well. I've never had balance/playing issues with my B2 and I'm 6"2". I've got a Jack V as well and the balance is different, but again no issues.2 points

Now that's what you call a 'head-turner'! 👍 And you can rest assured that the bass line for 'I Predict A Riot' will have been played properly on it a fair few times at least .. ... unlike my efforts where I've murdered that bassline numerous times at The ol' Dog 'n' Duck late on a Saturday night! 😬😁 GLWTS 😊2 points

After reading through this thread quickly it's safe to say I have absolutely no idea at all what's going on, but I feel like I'm suffering some sort of really bad LSD flashback. On the flipside though, I've found the bit starting from 18:35 in the original video the perfect example to use when someone asks why I really hate slap bass, so every cloud and all that. Think some soothing Family Man basslines are much needed at this point...2 points

The extra B stands for birthday! On Tuesday I turned 40. I now find myself wondering where my pills are and despairing about the music my children listen to. But I digress. A couple of months ago, my long-suffering wife told me she wanted to buy me a bass for my birthday, and was there anything in particular I wanted. I initially tried to put her off as this wasn't going to be cheap, but she insisted! After some thought I narrowed it down to a bass I'd never owned but always wanted ever since playing a friend's on tour many many years ago. As luck would have it there was one for sale on here just at the right time, courtesy of @vincbt It's been living in a cupboard for the past fortnight but here it is!2 points

The radius templates from G&W in Portugal are due later today and this morning is an important stage in the build - it is where is starts looking like a bass It's too early to cut the taper, but while I still have a flat profile to act as a datum on my bandsaw, it is the ideal time to cut the side profile of the neck: The pencilled line is where the heel will be on the treble side; the cut is where the heel is on the bass side - and we have a few choices how we handle this. I'll find out from @Matt P offline what he prefers before outlining what it will be like. Then I looked at the options for the orientation of the back oak wings which are cut from one piece and so grain-match either side of the neck: And concluded this would work best: So back to the bandsaw, and making allowance for the c2mm purpleheart separation strips cut them out a few mm oversize: And so, as I said at the beginning...it's starting to look like a bass2 points
