    [quote name='chriswilliams666' timestamp='1428531637' post='2742280'] Where are you based? [/quote] Sig says Glasgow. Not the sig. That thing over on the left, whatever that's called...

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428488526' post='2741680'] If received wisdom from 5-string players is correct and there's nothing you can do on a four-string that you can't do on a five-string... ...my question would be, 'Why??' [/quote] Rounds and flats?

    That Pi looks [u]heavy[/u]... what does it weigh?

    [quote name='lownote12' timestamp='1428396426' post='2740777'] so are these £50 (value) or £85 as in the body copy? [/quote] £85. My mistake; I originally listed the Badass on its own, then added the Barts later when I worked out I'd have to split the photos. Edit: I've tried to increase the header value. No dice.

    What HowieBass said, at least in my limited experience. There's a short somewhere (and leaving the lead in would count as a short in my book ).

    It looks like it's made of plywood... Actually, it looks like it's been machined out of solid plywood... !

    You might be able to get a fretless one and have it fretted, though I don't suppose that's cheap...

    Tasty

    Humber[u]side[/u], he says... not so sure.

    [quote name='Shabbs' timestamp='1420665092' post='2652017'] Parcelforce appear to stipulate guitars in hard cases only? [/quote] I believe so. But I don't think you're insured even then, because IIUC they don't insure musical instruments.

    Neither, but burgundy is the better of the two

    [quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1428079081' post='2737904'] These from Custom World Guitars in Holland seem to be well regarded and are decently priced: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-neck-rosewood-with-pearl-block-inlay-vintage-style-38mm-nut-C-shape-/121574156470?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c4e6268b6"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1c4e6268b6[/url] (all maple ones available too) [/quote] I have heard good things about these as well.

    Satin or matt black beats gloss black, to my mind.
  14. alyctes
    42mm nut, I think? I have a similar one, in sunburst, with a stuck trussrod

    [quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1427662882' post='2732858'] Reduced to £350! [/quote] You might want to edit the thread title

    Pics will improve your chance of a sale... Best bet is to host them somewhere else (Photobucket works for me), then link to them.

    Time to put the vet on a diet... GLWTS )

    [quote name='Ukelele Salad' timestamp='1427958087' post='2736197'] Thanks essexbasscat - it is a beast to be sure! My flatmates didn't even used to complain when I practised it, certainly can't be said for the electric bass even turned down low! The neighbours though... [/quote] Some people just don't know when they're well off If I could play one, and if I had the money, and if I had the time...

    [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1428012641' post='2737171'] How do Gear4music manage to smash so much gear (for music)? Surely after the first batch they would get onto their Chinese OEM supplier and tell them to get the thumb out? Or do their employees suffer from roid rage in the warehouse? [/quote] Zero hours contracts, I expect.
  21. alyctes
    That's lovely

    [quote name='fatback' timestamp='1427835066' post='2734926'] [/quote] I don't know what that is, but I want one...

    [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1427962143' post='2736256'] Never the same since Wyman left. [/quote] Yup. Any footage of them, the best bit is always Watts and Wyman at the back, grinning at each other, just getting it done while the frontmen ponce about trying to pull

    That is pretty kinky, IMO. Ergonomics look good. Elegance is not its strong suit, but then, Fender P... I wonder what it sounds like...

    Badass has gone.
