    Another one for the clearout. This is a Korean-made Shine copy of the G+L ASAT four-string tele-style bass. I believe it's a Shine model 724, but nothing on it gives the model number. It would make a nice starter, backup or project, but it's quite giggable in its own right IMO. Passive four-string, decently made; quite playable, with a nice range of tones. Body and headstock are high-gloss varnish; neck is satin. Nut is 42mm wide. Controls are a pickup selector switch (front-both-rear), and knobs (V-V-T). There is a little neck dive, but nothing a wide strap won't deal with. (Wide strap thrown in if desired.) There's a bump on the back of the body about 3mm wide which has cracked the varnish; I've tried to take a picture of it. Pics are here: [url="https://postimg.org/gallery/nddi86tw/"]https://postimg.org/gallery/nddi86tw/[/url] £120 plus carriage; includes a cheapo gigbag.

    I'm defretting a bass, and I'm wondering if I need to sand down the fingerboard before I put veneer in the fret slots. Is it normal to need to sand the board down before filling the slots? The board is rosewood. Thanks

    [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1474498251' post='3138486'] I would definitely not use acetone on anything foamy. [/quote] Could I ask why not, please? Just curious. Thanks

    Vox Standard. That's twice what it should be priced at. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vox-Standard-Bass-Guitar-Made-in-Japan-1980s-Matsumoku-Dimarzio-/262641077237?hash=item3d26a0cbf5:g:1IAAAOSwMtxXvxsC

    I don't even like aged-white basses, and I'm off fives... but that is proper lovely

    [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1474639322' post='3139504'] There's a really beautiful painting of that bass in someone's attic somewhere... [/quote]

    Somebody can't spell "phoenix". Not a good sign, IMO - lack of attention to detail is seldom a good thing for an instrument.

    Pretty Good luck with your sale!

    I've gigged the Sonderberg PJ and the red no-name J-style I got from here. Cost £130 between them, IIRC. But I don't gig often enough for this to count, probably.

    Are you taking a statin? Mine give me some pain from time to time.

    [quote name='leroybass' timestamp='1474464574' post='3138210'] hi would you post to dublin [/quote] At buyer's cost, sure.

    Since 99% of people can't hear as far down as that low E, it's a waste of effort as far as I'm concerned. As others have said, it has some questions about its design as well.

    The one I'd be sorriest to see go would be the bitsa fretless P I put together myself. In the right circumstances I might give it to someone, I suppose. But It's not worth anything anyway, so that's easy for me to say.
  23. alyctes
    Thanks gentlemen

    Tune down a semitone?

    There's a lot to like, IMO, but it won't please everyone, for sure. If it plays well and sounds nice, there's nothing there to put me off (except the price ). But there's nothing there which screams "Buy Meeeeee!!!!" either.
