    The guy who taught me had one (tuned E-C); he used it a lot. I played it a few times, but I was too inexperienced to really appreciate it. It was nice though

    Where are you?
  3. alyctes
    Those are uglier than Fenders. Which is not something I say very often.

    This looks as if it might be decent. Does anyone know? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Basse-Sukop-5-cordes/112853900874?hash=item1a469dde4a:g:eY0AAOSwfpBabivt

    Hello and welcome
  8. alyctes
    Where are you?
  9. alyctes
    Cool - keep up the good work!
  10. alyctes
    Tempting. Any trades?
  11. alyctes
    Probably better made as well I had one of these, and if I hadn't gone fretless I'd still have it.
  12. alyctes
    Nobody else does. That's been coming up every few months for a couple of years now. I never looked at the price before, the picture was bad enough.
  13. alyctes
    Probably the packaged weight. I bet those aren't the bass's actual dimensions either. I mean, I could be wrong but 5.5 inches deep?
  14. alyctes
    It's just as well I'm not in the market for fretted fours GLWYS!
  15. alyctes
    I went back to fives because it was that or radically change my tuning (singer's voice has a pitch where he's comfortable, and we're stuck around that). What they really give me is the range under my left hand; I'm not using the notes below D at all, and that only occasionally.
  16. alyctes
    There's probably film of it on YouTube by now.
  17. alyctes
    Tempting. Any trades in the bass guitar line?
  18. alyctes
    Wow. If that's really what it looks like, there's a reason there are only two strings on it; string it properly and it'll probably turn into a heap of splinters.

    Can I see a D, stamped on the body below the neckplate? Might be. Worth asking a direct question before diving in, IMO.
  20. alyctes
    Go for it Mick
  21. alyctes
    The neck. (I assume it's got a truss rod in it.)
  22. alyctes
    And it's me again - is that five times now? It's always a pleasure to deal with Alan. And the bass he let me try is a corker! - so a little bonus there as well
  23. alyctes
    I have no clue why this is still here.
  24. alyctes
    And sold.

    High C?

    alyctes replied to josie's topic in General Discussion

    The nut is the only potential problem IMO, and (as Sambrook says) you might find that it isn't an issue. Replacing a nut should be reasonably easy, but if you're not comfortable doing it a luthier should be able to do it fairly cheaply.
