.....forgot the decimal point, didn't I. £23.00 inc.

Hey all, I found this floating like something unflushed in the bottom of my parts draw. It's a Baddass II with two badly filed saddles (E and G) and two good'uns. Apart from that, it's in excellent condition. It's good for spares (which are bloody hard to find) so I'll sell it on for £2300 inc post and all proceeds go to Basschat.

Sorry to hear about the minor nut problem - I'm not much a slapper/popper, so hadn't experienced that, but I'm sure Jon will sort it. Interesting reflection(s) on the strings (.. and the bass, overall).[/quote] ......yeah, I think I've actually had my first duff e-string from DR. I tried the same hi-beam set on my jazz and again, it sounded.....off. That's a first for DR (unlike Ernie Ball. At one point every other pack I was buying had a bum string).

[quote name='bigthumb' post='1347587' date='Aug 21 2011, 10:08 PM']I really hope you like it! [/quote] I do. I'm just working through it at the moment. Soundwise, we're in Active Jazz territory with potential Warwick leanings. I thought the neck pup postion would make it tight for slapping, but no. It's fine. Slaps like a demon. It needs the nut swapping out 'cos the G's bottoming out on the first fret when popping, and it's one of the few basses I've had that doesn't like DR's. I swear by DR Hi-beams and lo-riders, but this fella sings with Dean Markley Blue Steels. And Mr Shuker'll sort that nut out in no time (I might try a brass one). It looks the business and the Recurve shape is funky (it's a shade bigger than an MM sterling). It's not light, but it's well balanced. The build quality is excellent and the fret job is wonderfull (it takes a seriously low action if required). We're off to a good start

[quote name='AlexKay1980' post='1345696' date='Aug 19 2011, 06:03 PM']Great link but the described price is for a light gauge set 40 - 60 - 80 - 100 without shipping. My prices [u]includes[/u] shipping and you'll get them at your doorstep.[/quote] No, the StringsDirect price includes UK shipping. And they usually have the other guages in stock.

Looks good. Got any more pics?

"SOLD - now with new owner" Double BAH!!
