  1. Blimey. I'm impressed you stayed that long.
  2. You're a Precision guy, then?
  3. Guessing at a factory prototype? Having said that, my Yamaha TRB 5 II has much the same problem - side dots in the wrong place. I may have to do something with Tippex (carefully masked) in the right places, it would make it a lot easier to play.
  4. It won't be familiar unless the OP's a guitarist, I guess. It'll just be really short scale.
  5. Wow. This is left-field enough that I don't know whether I like it or not. (I own a Westone Rail I'll never sell, just for context.)
  6. Not a relic fan and I don't like this either. The damage is so obviously artificially-inflicted.
  7. Thanks David, appreciated.
  8. 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.
  9. Cool - though I think I'd rather a fiver. Does anyone do a bass uke five-string?
  10. 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.
  11. Unmodified, but lots of new parts·...
  12. If I bought it I'd only defret it... probably just as well I'm skint
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. Chancer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OLP-MUSICMAN-StingRay-Bass-Guitar-Ernie-Ball-Blue-finish-AH-56768/263864139315?hash=item3d6f873e33:g:4VkAAOSwk3BbaWCa

  16. Unique, I am sure. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eagle-Custom-Bass-left-handed/253798679216?hash=item3b179482b0:g:Qj0AAOSwH4dbZxQ1
  17. That's a much more sensible approach
  18. Currently 43. Peak was 57. (plus an EUB, an Ashbory, some other stuff). I need more space.
  19. 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...
  20. Lots of people looking for the limelight, that's the ugli truth.
