    Thank goodness it's a four...

    I guess the other thing is, most bass players don't hear themselves. I didn't like it much when I first heard myself recorded...

    There's a sudden rash of stuff I know nothing about on eBay, it seems. Jerry Bix fretless. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jerry-Bix-Custom-Fretless-Bass/132404525906?hash=item1ed3ecbb52:g:xTAAAOSw63FaEYM2

    I think I'd like it better in black, but that still wouldn't make me pick the thing up, never mind buy it... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MB-Guitars-headless-short-scale-aktiv-handmade-Bass-v-1980-unikat-u-vintage/292337330980?hash=item4410a9ab24:g:5L4AAOSwQcJaEaMf

    Looks as if the body bouts are easily changed? Not much use if you haven't got anything to replace them with, but... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RKS-5-String-Bass-A-Thing-of-Beauty/172988792662?hash=item2846ef7f56:g:zggAAOSw43haEbMG

    What I've heard is that they are decent enough at the price point. Can't remember where or who from though.
  7. alyctes
    Yeah. Especially if it sounds monstrous. The only reason I haven't got one is the neck dive.
  8. alyctes
    Nor me.
  9. alyctes
    Yes, I see them now. Pretty

    You'll have a much better chance of selling it if you put some pics up.

    I see pics. Firefox on Ubuntu linux.

    Already in Dorset... but I'm not going to use it and I'm not comfortable with flipping.

    You need to read the bumping rules.

    [quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1510061023' post='3403614'] it's the right plaice for it surely? [/quote] I suppose it does have a porpoise.

    Okay, this thread is going to exactly the sort of place I was hoping for Thanks all

    [quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1509912243' post='3402582'] If you look at the link and the controls it’s a bit tongue in cheek, the increase hair growth rate and call waiter controls had me chuckle a bit. [/quote] I liked the "drummer tempo" switch, personally
  19. alyctes
    I presume "naturally" means "unamplified", but it doesn't look all that good acoustically.
  20. alyctes
    That is definitely hideous. It has that G-Plan home-assembled furniture look, possibly involving Formica.

    [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1509732366' post='3401312'] If you find a good sound, you could spend a lifetime trying to find it again! [/quote] You'd have to take a photo of the control settings...
  22. alyctes
    Interesting how little visual change there is in the waveform on the different settings. Also the psychological difference. That's worth remembering, IMO, because I think it comes up all over the place - notably in the media (and advertising, whether it calls itself that or not). It definitely looks best with the white 'plate.

    [quote name='Vinny' timestamp='1509793454' post='3401668'] I had one of those a few years ago, the only acoustic bass I regret selling. [/quote] Did you keep a note of the serial number, by any chance? It would be nice to get some idea of the number Peavey made.
  24. alyctes
    Agree with Dave. Their influence is huge. No Beatles, different world.

    I'm not allowed alcohol for medical reasons. I wouldn't want my strings to make me ill.
