When is a MM SUB not a SUB? When it is a Bongo.
sprocketflup replied to Owen's topic in Bass Guitars
Having never had a chance to pay a Bongo, and I mean this in the nice way, what is special about the Bongo electrics? -

Strange Mosrite-backer 12-string bass from China
sprocketflup replied to NikNik's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
By the look of it, those smaller tuners would foul each other when winding on -
I'm looking to replicate the finish of this Tanglewood Warrior bass, any one got any advice on the best way to source the green woodstain and apply it would be most welcome -

String went ping, I.D help please
sprocketflup replied to sprocketflup's topic in EUB and Double Bass
I'm happy with the sound but as was mentioned up above the price scares the sh*te out of me. If I buy a single, I'm worried it'll sound hugely different to the remaining three, so would try something else if I could find something that hurts the wallet less -

Looks like they might be D'addorio 'Helicore Orchestra' strings according to @jrixn1's link -

I have an NS designs EUB, the NXT4 to be precise. At the weekend, whilst setting up for a show, the G string snapped. I wasn't even on the stage at the time, drummer shouted me " Dave, you're not gonna believe this..." I haven't the first scooby about EUB strings, so any advice before I take the plunge welcome. I play both pizz and arco, and favour smooth flatwound style strings. Am I better off replacing the whole set or finding a single? I've no idea what the strings are that are on it at present, they have different coloured silks (green, black, gold red) and gold/brass coloured ball ends The scale of the instrument is 42", how does that compare to a 3/4 or 1/2 size acoustic bass? Confused

Two of these rather splendid little things, and considering there were only 24 made, I own one/twelfth of the worlds stock

Here we have a 1st generation Sire M7 4 string. I had this up for sale once before, but took it down as I was using it. Back to not being used now so back up for sale it goes. Anyone who has played one of these will confirm that the pre-amps give a bewildering array of options, and this model is also equipped with series/parallel switching for each pickup too. The bass itself has a really nice feel, good neck and nice action. The amble from Sire/Marcus Miller - And plenty more info if you like here - https://www.sire-revolution.com/product/sire-marcus-miller-m7/ Body Material : Alder/Ash with Solidtop Hard Maple Wood Body Shape : New Modern Bass Body Color : Alder Body – BRB, TBLB | Ash Body – NT, TBKB Neck Material : Canadian Hard Maple(Scarf Joint) Neck Shape : C-Shape Scale : 34”-35“(For 5 string 35” for clear low B) Neck Joint : 4/5 Bolt Individual Dot (5 hole for 5 string) Fingerboard(Rolled Edges) : Ebony Fingerboard Radius : 12” Frets : Medium, 24 Frets String Nut : 4 String – Natural Bone 38mm width / 5 String – Natural Bone 45mm width Binding : None Inlay : White Pearl Dot Pickups : Marcus Pure-H Revolution Set Electronics : Marcus Miller Heritage-3 with Middle Frequency Control Knobs : Modern Black Plastic Bridge : Marcus Miller Heavy Mass Custom Tuning Gear : Sire Diecasting Gear Hardware Finish : Black The weight according to my bathroom scales is 3.8kg. Blemishes, ive done my best to photograph them. There is a couple of small dents near the battery box, another near the jack and one more on the bottom horn at the back. Nothing too glaring, and certainly not 'roadworn'. As suggested down below, i can post this if preferred, though personally I'd much rather this was collected from near Axminster, I do travel around the country for my various works, and am willing to meet if someone wishes within reason.

SOLD Here for sale is a Spector Q5 Pro 5 string in very good condition. Korean made model, to a very high degree of quality, as you'd expect from the brand really. Flamed maple top, 3 piece maple neck, and what I assume is a rosewood fingerboard. I'd love to be able to tell you what the stock colour on this is, its a very dark smoky grey, not quite black. I can see a hint of green in there too, but my good lady tells me I'm wrong so it must not be there. 🤔 Cant see any visible dings, there's a sort buckle rash line in the middle of the back but it hasn't scratched the paint/lacquer. I have to say I'm a little perplexed as to why I don't play this more often, I picked it up to put it on the sofa for photographs, plugged it in to check electrics and then lost an hour, it plays rather well. A good range of tones from the EMG pups and circuit, and the active boosts really makes this pump. Anyway, I have far too many basses, and certainly more 5 strings than I need so it's up to be rehomed. Weight on my bathroom scales is 4.5kg. All in all, a very nice bass that deserves more attention than I'm giving it. I'm based near Axminster for collection, or I can arrange a meetup somewhere as I'm all over the country with my band at various points. I'm not fond of posting basses, but not against it either, and have packaging if that's what you'd prefer.

Bought a rather nice Japanese P bass replica from Ben, who was a pleasure to deal with, going the extra mile for a collection and just being spot on. Many thanks mate
