Took advantage of a rare bit of garden sunshine for a quick snap. To suit my preferred playing style/position, I've added a dummy pickup ramp made of ebony I had made by Chris at Alpher Instruments a while ago that I never used. Works well 🙂 (don't panic, the screws are part of the aesthetic, it's held down with tape 😉)
-
So it's primary purpose is to hold tune? How can a bridge achieve this,without the tunining machines and lack of locking nut coming into play? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm honestly just totally lost as to its purpose or how it works
-
I'm still not following. With my regular bridge, when does my string pull out of tune with regular playing, or when does the tension change? What will the Evertune change for me?
-
I keep trying to understand what this is and what it fixes. Someone layman terms it to me. I play 4 string basses in drop B tuning. My basses intonate as well as I could expect and never need to be retuned during a typical set. If I was to use this bridge, when and where would I see a benefit?
-
YeahI wasn't sure if my "headstock" was a little bit longer, but guess it'd be fairly negligible. Perhaps I should hunt out somewhere who has the Progo in stock, rather than the PITA of buying and returning if its no good.
-
Cheers for that, I auto assumed MS. Looking at that pic, I'd actually say mine was longer, and I'd be loathed to use it without the padding (really like extra protection at the bottom, the Mono Vertigo is a dream). Hmm.
-
That's interesting, as I'd have thought the Ibanez was longer than my Leduc headless, need to get my own tape measure out...
-
Thanks for suggestions all. Anyone any experience with the Gator Pro-Go guitar bag? Looks nice, priced well and seems to have an interior length of just shy of 43 inches? EDIT: I have since found at least two other internal lengths quoted, one of which is as little as 1003mm, so not inclined to trust this one now...
-
What are people using? Imagine there are a good few guitar cases that'll do the job but many don't have the neck/body proportions right for obvious reasons. Bass cases just seem a waste of space!
-
Lovely bass! Was admiring this one very recently on Reverb I think, always wanted one. GLWTS! -
Wait what?? What is it??? It looks like an Indonesian ibanez????
-
Yeah that's what I thought. Interested to see how the others look, but there's not going to be a huge amount to set them apart from the other chinese combustions really, bar the preamp.
-
Can't tell if this is because of suspected false identity, or something else? Will and BassBros are 100% trustworthy and reliable, and asking to check the bass before handing over money is 100% how any bass shop would do it, they're never going to take a risk on something sight unseen. Though if I was you, you're close enough to Leamington to justify taking the afternoon and going down there, rather than risking couriers or worrying about sending your bass to a stranger.
-
Haven't been following NAMM a huge amount, no standouts i've seen on socials so far. Reckon that ibby is going to be around the £1,500 mark
-
That's interesting, definitely against everything I've read about it, that this colour is unique to this run?
-
Yeah they changed the horn at least 2-3 times since that 85 of yours. The older ones felt more ergonomic to me 🙃
-
Every Thumb NT4 I have owned (5) has not suffered what I consider to be neck dive i.e. the headstock trying to drop below parallel, to the extent where my left arm is doing work to keep it up. Conversely, every NT or BO 5 I have had (admittedly just 2) has had neck dive. I had a BO 5 that I absolutely loved sitting down, but it was unplayable standing.
-
I'd always recommend trying a Warwick built between 1999 and 2008 in person before handing over money. Dog years for Warwick QC, so many badduns, particularly between 2000 and 2003.
-
Just looking at the pics released, have they got rid of the nicest (for me) feature, the light reddish wood fretboard?
-
Brand new unopened set of heavy NYXL strings. Bought two, they don't suit what I need so I don't need the 2nd. Price includes postage. Would happily trade for a super light set, in the unlikely event anyone has one! Now sold, cheers. -
TBF that's a pretty good price in 2023 for a Thumb, shops would have it up for £2k.
-
Think it's safe to say Bass Direct will have a few of them, probably worth keeping an eye out, or even hitting Mark up now if you're serious about wanting one.
-
Shame about the stripes, that would have been realllly tasty without those, which are a little distracting. Still, cool bass to own, chinese Dingwalls have gone a bit bonkers price wise, but then again what hasn't...

Musicman USA Sterling Bass 2004 Including UK Postage - *SOLD*
Kev replied to ash's topic in Basses For Sale
These Sterling basses are in such an odd place at the moment, price wise. I presume they're not made anymore and as such their used value doesn't appear to have been hugely inflated by the current EB prices, yet they are absolutely equal (and better in a lot of cases I've seen re woods used) to the Stingray of the time in terms of build quality and RRP. In other words, at 3 figures these are a BARGAIN and a dream for anyone who loved the Musicman sound but prefers the jazz feel. GLWTS. -
Nice work dude! Sounds great, and what a looker too! Must admit, after listening to the intro of the first track, I did have a quick glance at who mixed the track and did a little smile to myself
