    (Obviously what I'm really waiting for is a review by someone whose opinion I trust...)
  2. alyctes
    It's a popular opinion It seems that at one point I had more money than sense. That's a self-correcting condition, for most of us...
  3. alyctes
    I think they make a five-string... a neck might suit your project?

    It's been up for ages. I stopped looking at eBay ads last spring (furlough, having changed jobs in February... not my brightest ever move), and it had been up for a year at least by then. It does look nice, that was one of the reasons I stopped looking Edit: Looking at it again, it's a very similar ad to the original but not the same - the original didn't give you the option of the logo. The photos are the same. So I assume it's a factory outlet. I'm tempted. But I already have too many basses...

    Hmm. What's the neck width at the heel, please?
  6. alyctes
    Nice colour
  7. alyctes
    What's red and invisible?

    I'd much rather spend it on the art than the guitar, even if I didn't like the art. At the end of the day, the artist is working by hand, but Fender are applying a factory finish. So if I had to choose...

    Ugly to the point that it can only be some sort of "design statement". It would need a serious, serious advantage to offset that "statement" before I'd even consider it.

    Nicely flared at the end of the neck. That's well thought-out.

    I bought Lawrie's Harley Benton fretless fiver (plus case, rather unexpectedly). Nice guy and very welcoming, all exactly as expected. Thanks Lawrie!

    Dolphinesque, IMO. If that's a word
  13. alyctes
    Nice colour!

    I look forward to the pictures - though sadly it's only for perving over Good luck with your sale!

    Surely the original calculation should take account of the changes in interest rates over the time since it was bought? (I know, I'm not entertaining. Story of my life.)

    Nice colour

    Thanks. It sounds as if it might be similar to the Ibanez BBG5 neck. I find that comfortable enough.
  18. alyctes
    Happy to see you're on the mend. (Damn that's pretty...)
  19. alyctes
    How long is the neck, nut to heel, please?
  20. alyctes
    The neck I have is not a Hohner. It's fairly close, headstock shape-wise, and could probably be reshaped into a good likeness, but authentic it ain't.
  21. alyctes
    Wow. Makes me wish I could get on with acoustic basses.
  22. alyctes
    Well well. I have a neck which would fit this, I think. Given the shape, I'm pretty sure it's a Hohner, but the branding has been removed. Truss rod was good last time I checked. Edit: On closer exam, I'm pretty sure it is not a Hohner. The shape is close but not exact; it could probably be reshaped to be a good match.
  23. alyctes
    I have one. It's not for sale. I play it upright, with the headstock beside my left ear. I've also seen pics of them fixed to mike stands, like a mini EUB.
  24. alyctes
    I've been meaning to ask, what's the neck profile? (I still want it, and I still can't afford it...)
  25. alyctes
    Sylvan Esso. I like them.
