  1. Did they shut it down? I think G&L are still building P bass shaped objects there…
  2. unless it becomes so ubiquitous it just gets used as a name for the style of item... like a Biro or Hoover. Body shape, split pickup in correct position or single coil in 50's position, stratchplate to match pickup, nut over 40mm, neck (ideally maple) with 4 a side tuners.
  3. I mean “tonewood” apart that’s not far from the inside of an ikea desk…
  4. @AndyTravis?!
  5. oh don't. Like this one is nice but the other one makes me wonder how much trouble I would get in for buying it...
  6. What people say about looking for the mids in the bass… but don’t make it a thing about gear and preamps …. also work with the keys player and look at their eq too.
  7. low tension Labella aren't that much different than normal round wounds, and they aren't as flexible as something like TI jazz flats. I imagine you would be fine?
  8. No I mean - someone floating eBay sales looking for a price, too private sale is ok… but high value items I like to know who the person is or have some kind of contact details or something … so if something goes wrong it’s Barry who lives x who you need to talk too…
  9. A more interesting question would be would he let you collect? Delivering and cash on delivery seems like a handy way of not having a paper trail at all....
  10. Avicii crossed with Coldplay goes back to my answer of “what does current Christian worship music sound like” “Coldplay with a 5 year delay”
  11. (and no practice)
  12. so Easter Sunday apparently the kids have been learning a dance to a song and are going to do it for everyone... kicker is that apparently we're playing it... with a small band and cajon ...
  13. Should have got a Bacchus
  14. It’s cos that’s a Squier affinity which has them further back cos increased tolerances is cheaper to make this would be a better comparison https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/fender-precision-bass/products/1957-fender-precision-bass-2-tone-sunburst-2
  15. what kinda sound you want and how many holes you have to use on the bass? John East stuff is very clean and clear sounding....an Aguilar for example will have way more colour to it.
  16. Any updates?
  17. Good news for you… Yamaha corp and Yamaha Motor Co Ltd are separate companies.
  18. You realise your advert has little info about your bass?!
  19. +1 also fancy wood basses where the use of fancy wood is for no other purpose than to show off the fact that you can use fancy wood. Fancy wood where it's being used as part of the construction, or as a "tone wood" sounds good. thick poly finishes. Anything with hardware that is like chocolate on a hot day when you get a screwdriver near it. bad font choices in logos. eg Valenti with his logo in Optima EMG pickups. I've tried, not my thing
  20. what he said!
  21. +1 It goes straight into marketing but I think the odd thing about this thread is how unexcited the tone is. chowny are making better instruments, in a better way and here in the U.K. to drive better quality. It’s something to be excited about and use as a basis to sell from.
  22. I found this interesting take on music plagiarism
  23. I’m sure Wal would build him a Wal in his favourite shade of Volvo blue - but I suspect that the company being willing to build isn’t the sticking point for most of us buying a Wal or Fodera
  24. Ild love to go around some of the U.K. luthiers with a camera and do similar - partly cos it would be interesting but also cos the marketing of smaller companies like this typically isn’t as good in the U.K. as US
