    If you’re in UK try this link for Barefoot buttons. I have bought from them with great service and you avoid the extortionate shipping costs. https://thorpyfx.com/collections/barefoot-buttons

    It is lovely if you can find a place to park your car

    I live near Berwick upon Tweed on the border between Scotland and England. Not near anywhere. The town does have an ambient connection. Steve Lawson grew up here. He moved away a long time ago though in search of his audience. I don't know, but I think he found that audience.

    Your music reminds me of a gig I saw many years ago. The piano player sat with his foot on the sustain pedal and the Soprano sax player pointed his instrument into the piano strings. Amazing sound and yes, probably worked best live.

    I wouldn't count on that not happening. First release - Helix Floor/Rack Second release - LT Third release - HX Fourth release - ? Getting smaller all the time.

    Nice work. Some tough stretches on that one.

    That is amazing music. Just goes to show you don't need 100 notes in every bar to make good music. Also you don't need all the effects I use to get the atmosphere. Full of ambience. Following you on Bandcamp.

    Thank you. I have no plans to do live work but you never know in the future. I live halfway between here and there and it's a bit of an ambient desert so would probably mean a lot of travelling to find an audience.

    Look at it upside down and I'm seeing Sir Bradley Wiggins in his BBC interview today.

    It's the heavy metal in the case that's dangerous.

    The Father of headless basses, Ned Steinberger, designed a tuning system that does just that for the NS Radius bass. I do love those Leduc basses too.
  12. BassBus
    That looks like an interesting tuning system. The only problem I would have with it is the way the tuners stick out from the end of the bass. They would be a bit vulnerable to damage or being knocked out of tune. The headless basses that have the tuning pieces recessed seem a much better option to me, i.e. Steinberger and Status. Any more info on those tuners? Headless has always struck me as just being logical.

    A link to my YouTube channel for anyone who might like some stuff that has a bit of an ambient flavour. https://www.youtube.com/user/bassbus2/videos?shelf_id=1&view=0&view_as=subscriber&sort=dd

    OK I'll just open another tin

    The most amusing thing is that everything after page 1 of this thread has been a complete waste of time. The OP made his decision on page 1.

    Good man. Glad to see someone taking their blinkers off. Now, that really is codswallop. Evidence? Steve Lawson's gig at the weekend with artist Poppy Porter. He played, she drew from what she felt from his playing

    Only too pleased to oblige (in a non-very-serious kind of way)

    I think manufacturers should just stop being lazy and finish the basses properly. Put frets in the neck and that would do away with all this stupid arguing 😄😉

    I don't use amps at all. I find I get a perfectly good sound for me through headphones without them. If I played through some external amp I'm sure I'd have to change settings a bit. Anyway it produces some abstract sounds like this.

    A fretless bass is not a violin, viola, cello or double bass. Completely different instrument and setup.

    Gary Willis Scott Devine Mark Egan Steve Lawson Juan Alderete Marcus Miller (when he plays fretless) and some guy by the name of Jaco They all have one thing in common. Who am I to disagree with them?

    Gibson has been in murky financial waters for some years now. I looked through the business acquisitions they have made in the last ten years or so and so many of them are quite a long way from their core business. Spending money they don't have on those and all the legal cases they have tried to fight might not be seen as money well spent.

    Good on you kidder. Looks so much fun and thanks for all the photos.

    Oh bloody hell, it's Michael Bailey.
