my bass is still for sale if anyone is interested on ebay or reverb uk - [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£[/font][/color]125 - lemme know

I agree, it does need a different approach and lighter touch. Incredible sound for such a cute little instrument

thanks for the suggestions guys, so many basses

[quote name='Sercet' timestamp='1473003965' post='3125942'] What's the intonation like? [/quote] PM'd you Intonation is mostly good, need re-tuned pretty often but I'm advised this may settle. It's brand new, still has the tag. The E string is the most inconsistent but I just could not stop picking this thing up, she's addictive! It seems ok on the octave but as I said, maybe it just needs a little settling time or tweak. I'm pretty useless at anything like this and I don't really have patience just now, but her tone is soooooo sweeeeeet! I love it If anybody is interested I'll have it sent anywhere in the UK for £149 delivered Packaging and couriers I am good at! [sharedmedia=core:attachments:227059]

quick decision.. I'm going for a violin bass .. now who wants to buy a ukulele bass?

bass noob so to speak, what bass would get me in a similar ballpark as this: [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/gibson_es_les_paul_bass_fdb.htm"]https://www.thomann....ul_bass_fdb.htm[/url] a violin bass? I think my ukulele bass probably ain't gonna cut it due to intonation issues (don't laugh too hard.. I'm an amatuer)

thanks for the input.. looks like it's a frustrating instrument - I'd be even more frustrated if I bought new strings and it still didn't settle.. hmm Is there any other way (similar price) of getting this sound? I'm a home recording / hobbyist bass player at best, only tried electric bass guitars until now. would an electric-acoustic sound similar DI'd?

haha.. thanks for the replies.. it definitely will require different.. ahem, "technique" from me.. main thing is though that I'm not messing about with tuning all day because I will lose interest and end up selling it... that sound though is sweeeeet but need to be stable. I'll give it a week or 2 to settle

hey folks, hope you're well Recently bought a ukulele bass for around £200, Quincy koa version.. thundergut strings... anyways the tuning seems to drift pretty quickly which might be expected? I'm not sure, it's my first ukulele bass.. anyways when it's tuned, the intonation is mostly good aside from the E string which seems pretty close on the octave but drifts throughout. really like the sound, but the intonation and constant re-tuning is putting me off a bit. any advice is appreciated

Very nice thin neck too and like the overall feel of it. Better stop myself buying a replacement pickup until I have at least plugged it in though...[/quote] wise decision, no point changing pups if you don't have to how are you liking the bass?

weight is light, very comfortable & size is pretty much the same size as my electric. the tone control offers a good variation too

yeah, back in, sold the ray34 a while back... just got the cort action junior this morning & very happy with it so far.. little bit of buzz on E string (something i could fix myself?) apart from that, sounds great to me

hello folks as the title suggests, i am looking for some advice to help choose between these short scale basses. both seem like a good size for me & both are around the same price. unfortunately i will not be able to try before buying so any input is appreciated thanks in advance

thanks for the input, another i had in mind was the Steinberger Spirit XT2, i wonder how that'd compare to the vintage

hey folks, unfortunately i have to give up my Sterling Ray34 as i've never got round to learning bass properly... however i may replace it with a cheaper bass at some point... if i do, in your opinion..what would be a better choice? Vintage EST96a or fleabass junior? i think they both have 1 pickup, which suits thanks in advance
