  1. Do you play with your right hand only in one place? (I assume you are right-handed, because I have to assume one or tother... ) If so, could you arrange a mount with the pickup above the strings? I've intended to do that with my Aria Sinsonido for years, and never got round to it.
  2. Cool - though I think I'd rather a fiver. Does anyone do a bass uke five-string?
  3. Quite. "Custom" in the way that the results of dysentery are "custom" - unusual, for sure, but you wouldn't want to encourage it or spread it about.
  4. If I bought it I'd only defret it... probably just as well I'm skint
  5. If I was made of money, I'd definitely have one of these Apart from the temptation to fit wheels and an engine, that is. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Balalaika/223092154232?hash=item33f1541f78:g:Z98AAOSw-2dbQgBN
  6. Martinez? Not a name I know. Evidently long out of business. I'm fairly sure of two things here: - it's overpriced by about £100; - it dives like a loon. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Martinez-Fretless-Bass-Used-Excellent-con-5-piece-thru-neck-w-mahogany-body/113187459271?hash=item1a5a7f90c7:g:z~UAAOSwW3dbaW4t
  7. Chancer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OLP-MUSICMAN-StingRay-Bass-Guitar-Ernie-Ball-Blue-finish-AH-56768/263864139315?hash=item3d6f873e33:g:4VkAAOSwk3BbaWCa
  8. Unique, I am sure. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eagle-Custom-Bass-left-handed/253798679216?hash=item3b179482b0:g:Qj0AAOSwH4dbZxQ1
  9. Currently 43. Peak was 57. (plus an EUB, an Ashbory, some other stuff). I need more space.
  10. Does it stay in tune decently? I am blessed with a singer who would rather buy some stupid electric tuning jobby than an instrument which stays tuned...
  11. Lots of people looking for the limelight, that's the ugli truth.
  12. The Basschat mandarins really ought to do something about this thread...
  13. Just bitter(-lemon) experience - that's a tanger ine buying second-hand.
  14. That's good to know, thanks. Our singer would rather buy gadgets than upgrade his mandolin, which is utter sh*te...
