Pics of what though? It's just a plan at the moment...

Sound investment for someone. Happy to collect it if you're too far away

Just down the road from me too.

I thought it seems a bit cheap. There's a picture and everything

Just seen a FB advert for a 71 Mm Stingray for £250. Can this be right?

Love it! Had TRB on my turntable just the other day

Following with interest. I have a couple of 10 inchers just waiting for a home.

Think we need a Cort Lovers thread, I'm a recent convert too. Beautiful looking basses and once you start playing them, you never want to put them down again.

Interested to hear your thoughts on the Bassballs comparison. I moved my Bassballs on, couldn't get a fat enough tone from it.

Each to their own of course, but I like it a lot.

I'd say it's unavoidable. The pre shape button on the RM doesn't make that look or behave like a Trace. But that 12 band eq? Given the connection with TE that's bound to attract comparison.

Make it so. I would be a very happy camper

Looks like you can use it while motoring up the M5 as well

Nice one. I've been trying to find a tube zipper, I wonder if this would be similar..

I believe there is a scientific law which states a pedal board will always be 1 pedal space smaller than you want it to be. So. Nice try D'addario, but you can't argue with physics.

Hmmm, that looks lovely. Trace-ish.

Never! I have an open marriage with Harley Benton. We're allowed to see other people

I completely understand those of us who see the bass as a tool - precisely as @TheLowDown articulates it. After all I'm the same with cars. Do not care how it looks, neither shape nor colour matter one bit to me. I can't imagine ever wanting to own more than one vehicle unless the 2nd one had a specific purpose not fulfilled by the 1st. Like a camper van for example. All that matters is I can get my gear in, it goes and is as cheap as possible to maintain, tax, insure and put fuel into. Other people adore cars, would own a stable if them if they could afford to, and wouldn't touch my battered kia with a barge pole. None of us is all one thing, we all share sone traits they just get expressed differently. A bass is a poetic tool to me. A thing of aesthetic potential used to create art with others. I take pleasure looking at it. A different pleasure setting the action and a particular thrill just holding it, before I even play a note. Having one television seems crazy to me. Having one in each room beggars belief. But I have no objection to anyone else having them in all shapes and sizes anywhere they like.

Yes!

I didn't originally because I was a kid and only had one guitar. But the first time I was left high and dry at a gig by faulty gear was the last time.

Ah, thank you - I didn't realise. I tend towards a wider neck, but I have to be honest I don't really mind.

All I'm doing is carving a headstock - but I will happily share my cack handeness...
