The one in the photo is the larger one of these two. The scrollwork on the smaller is heavy, the disc around 10-11".

I've got loads of bits from the Bass Beer Co - badges, t-shirts, signs, trays - all sorts really. Were you after anything in particular?

Sad loss...RIP

My sunburst BBG5S and the new iridescent white newcomer.

I'm starting a breeding program.

I'm surprised about a couple of comments about being disappointed with the EBS Bass IQ. I've only heard good things about these - I bought one of the basis of positive feedback. I can say that I'm not disappointed with mine - does everything I need it to do.

You tease... -
I sold mine here for £300...regretted it instantly!!

NS2000/4 thru-neck on Gumtree. Maybe a bit over-priced (normally sell for £300-350) but looks like a nice example. Still a lot of bass for the money. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/rare-spector-ns-2000-4-active-bass-guitar./1413132619

Love this colour... Don't these normally come with a Maple board though?

Too late - I was already on the Thomann site.

I wish I could remember that far back... I'll have to find that post now

Just who are "these guys"?? I can't make out anything on the headstock

The passing of a Basschat legend (sad news inside)
TheGreek replied to ped's topic in General Discussion
This is not the first BC who has gone to the great gig in the sky but I can't recall if we, as a forum, have ever sent flowers, etc to the funeral. I'd be happy to contribute - I'm sure if we all contributed £1 we could send a sizeable wreath. Anybody else? -
Welcome Mark Can I suggest a PJ? You get the benefit of the P bass with the addition (generally at no extra cost) of a J bridge pick up. Extra pick up = extra tones .

The Elusive Ibanez Artcore Vintage AFBV200A

They have them at DV247 https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Ibanez-XXX-Artcore-Vintage-AFBV200A-Tobacco-Low-Gloss/art-BAS0008311-000 -
I've seen these with several different names on the headstock. They all seem to be well built. If it's a freebie the most it will cost you is petrol money.

A few years ago a friend of mine came into an inheritance - straight up to Denmark St looking for a Les Paul. He recounted going into one of the shops where the salesperson was astute enough to literally do a blind fold test - kept handing him different models of LP by different manufacturers without telling him the make or cost. He eventually bought a quite low end model ( I forget which) because "it felt and played better" even though he had the cash for the real thing.

Knowing what sound/ tone that you're after and what gear is being used to create that sound - for me, even though I've tried loads (and loads) of gear what I was really after was that distinctive 80s Trace Elliot tone package. As Lozz says, your ears tell you what you like - Vanderkley and Ashdown, for me, are the closest tone package from "modern gear".
-
With most basses you can see where the inspiration for the design came from (usually a P/J) With this it's harder to see, even though it hints at a lot of basses. Not sure yet if I like it.

I'm not normally a fan of (faux) relicing but IMO it was the only way to go with this. Too much "character" to try to renovate. Natural finish is the way to go - I linked to a vintage finish (vinegar & wire wool) in another thread - could be the way to go. Found it:
