    eBay?? I was watching that one and chatting with seller too, came close to pulling the trigger but the weight put me off. Interested how you get on with it!

    Ah, now that give me a thought. @Woodinblackprior to today, that post did not have any activity since April. Does the Bump functionality only temporarily make the listing rise for 36 hours, after which it drops back to whatever position it should be based on last activity date? As that would explain what's happening with this one.
  3. Kev
    Oh I realise what you're saying, but there's absolutely nothing we can do about it until we have an example to work with. If you could drop a link to it next time before bumping, we'll see if we can see it and make sure it's position makes sense.
  4. Kev
    Because other people are bumping and posting in theirs. If you have a specific example, link it in here before bumping it next time so we can make sure it appears as expected

    I'm a little confused about what the question is, but I think there is confusion about how bumping works. Bumping will move your post to the first page, as if a post was made, but a post isn't made, and the last activity still shows as the last post. However, naturally it will drop again as other members bump and post, and sometimes things do move fast. So no, you don't and shouldn't post as well as use the bump feature, everything seems to be working fine but if I'm misunderstanding the question, let me know.

    Forever baffles me why Sterling's don't get the prices StingRay's do. A StingRay at the moment the same age and spec as this would be listed at least 30% more. Bargain for a gorgeous instrument!

    Gorgeous!

    Thanks for reading what Rich and I had to say and taking it on board, top chap. That about wraps this thread up I think, cheers all.

    I can 🙂 if you want to message me your details I'll get a quote for you, I assume it will be in the region of £50-£75 fully insured.

    Having a bass you dearly want but a bass you need to sell first is an agonising first world problem.

      As is impatiently buying a bass when funds are available, only to see a nicer one come up for sale a couple of weeks later...

    They're such gorgeous instruments, the neck is a work of art!

    Surely the best bet is to return it mate? Lovely bass, but seems a shame to throw that money away, their returns policy is pretty good from memory!

    Just as a heads-up to any who may have missed it, I am looking to move this magnificent beast on: Gutted, to be honest, but sometimes you have to look at them as tools and right now this isn't the right tool for the job

    These are also Chinese built, just a limited run in this spec to launch the series. Absolute hard luck on the Duran tribute splitting after waiting so long for this! Which one were you with out of interest? Shared the stage with a cracking one last year, bassist was playing a regular combustion I think?
  17. Kev
    Certainly seems a great shout against the insanely overpriced real thing! GLWTS 🤘🏻
  18. Kev
    How much?! When i've seen influencers with these, I assumed they were super cheap. Did they used to be, or have they always had that kind of price??

    My favourite colour of these basses 😍

    Don't need to go big, this fella will do the job https://www.darkglass.com/creation/microtubes-x/ Definitely worth trying to pick one up 2nd hand maybe and see how it compares, or I think Bax Music do a 30 day trial, so you could grab one to compare and return if it doesn't help?

    Move this convo away from politics please, folks, otherwise we'll just get rid.

    I play progressive metal stuff in drop B, BF#BE, so similar but not the same. A lot of it is down to personal preference. I use a .125 on the B as if I go any heavier, I find it comes too dubby and loses high end harmonic content. I doubt id change it for A#, as the tension is very similar. Couple of bass set up tips; Get the neck as straight as it can be, even a tiny bit less relief will really help. When stringing up a new A#, when you know where the string will break over the bridge saddle, take the string off and bend it slightly at that point. The thicker the string, the more this helps get a clearer low string. I personally wouldn't go to 105 for a F, I use a .95 for an F# and would think .100 would be fine. As long as you're using some compression, which I'd definitely recommend, you don't need to worry too much about balancing things out. I do keep lows clean, I think my crossover is somewhere around 120hz off memory, but again this is to taste. Difficult to do with the gear you use, and can't really be duplicated with EQ'ing. Considered swapping that B3K out for a Darkglass X? It'll be a big upgrade and will allow that crossover. Forget about FoH, the sound engineer would rather just use his tricks than undo yours first.

    Absolutely gorgeous 😍

    Up for sale I have my absolutely stunning Leduc Modern 4 bass guitar, built in 1994 by French master luthier Christophe Leduc. Picked this up from Will at Bassbros last year, previously belonged to our own @Gardenerben. Gorgeous design, the ash body under the red finish is really smart and the Padouk neck is one of the thinnest and fastest I’ve used. Bass arrived to me in standard tuning but also plays in B Standard wonderfully. Preamp is a clever little design; 2 band EQ, with the toggle switch on, the treble control also controls the mids. Boosting treble cuts mids and rolling back treble boost them. Dummy pickup coil hidden behind the control panel keeping things quiet. Specs e.t.c. Leduc M4 Model Name: MODERN (1994 to 97) Scale : 34" (24 Frets) Neck: Padouk Fingerboard: Padouk Body: French Ash Pickups: 2 x Leduc - Benedetti Single Coils with Dummy Coil Electronics: Leduc - EBS EL-5, 2 Band EQ with Treble Control Mid Switch Bridge: Leduc type "H" String Locks: Schaller Neck Depth 1st fret: 21 mm, 12th fret: 22.5 mm Nut Width: 38mm Spacing at nut: 9mm Spacing at bridge: 19mm Dimensions: 1060 x 320 x 60 mm Weight: 3.8kg List Price: €4,400 Playing Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cprRkNuqOw0 Originally built for French musician Sylvin Marc. The bass was the successor to the MNV and precursor to the Maurad. EL-5 Preamp The bass is in really good condition for its age, hard to believe it’s 30 years old! There are surface marks and swirls here and there as you'd expect, usual wear to hardware, couple of pots are a little scratchy but nothing to worry about.
