  1. Love it! Although 3 Sims is just showing off
  2. I just completed a scratch build, was about 600 quid in wood/parts/electronics etc, Depending on your choices it will quickly cost you anywhere between 200-250 on the lower side and if you go for really expensive woods and parts you can spend 1000 quid easily. And you need the correct tools of course.....
  3. A few years back Cort brought out this top of the range acoustic, the NTL-B at a for Cort pretty steep €998. For the money it is a ridiculously good bass, on par with some much higher priced acoustics, but as I am no longer using it (Covid killed the gig I bought it for) I would like to see if I can sell or trade. Price includes shipping (basic) within Europe, and for distances up to 150km or so I will even consider delivery/personal hand-over (socially distanced of course). 34" Scale Solid Spruce top Rosewood body Rosewood fretboard and headstock with binding Hipshot ultralite tuners Fishman Sonicore cable-pickup Fishman Prefix Plus Preamp Comes with quality hard case Elixir bronze strings Would absolutely consider (part)trades, mainly 2x10 cabs, 1x12 cabs, a good amp (can be "heavy", no need for D class), a high-end preamp pedal, maybe a quirky drive or filter pedal. I have all the basses I need really, so unlikely I would go for that. I hope @HumblePie you do not mind me using your pictures in the original thread below (the lighting is good on them). Please let me know if that is an issue and I will substitute immediately.
  4. My old bass! Can absolutely vouch for how good this thing sounds and plays, it must have done at least a hundred gigs with me. Fast slim neck too. And great seller.
  5. It only took 2.5 years for anyone to notice my comment was ambiguous. We agree and it is not limited to only D class.
  6. These pre-Euro basses are absolutely great value. I have owned NS5/NS6s, Euros and these and I have to say that these came very very very close to my US basses.
  7. A fan fav, and now it fits on a pedalboard too
  8. Bass silver version! https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-pedals/compression-pedals/empress-effects-bass-compressor-pedal-silver
  9. Infinite Bass IB-1.5FL and Infinite Bass/Status Hybrid 4 (I built them).
  10. First rehearsal..... wow, this thing really sings!
  11. I am already thinking I might go 17.5" scale after watching the Basstheworld Mayones mini video with Ida Nielssen. I have a left over TC SubnUp Mini.... now imagine if I would build that into the cavity
  12. Thanks, but I have several soapbars in my “spares” draw. So am pretty well sorted.
  13. So after I built a 30” for my eldest son, now my 6 year old is asking for a bass. As it is well possible, even likely, that they will not pick up playing long-term I need to build something I could use as well. So why not build a mini Looking at the scraps I have left over it will be a swamp ash/dark ash/walnut laminate body (8mm strips and plenty wood glue), neck thru maple/wenge/maple 25” scale (maybe 24”), with a single soapbar pickup. He wants a blue & red bass .... ehm okay. This will be a slow build.
  14. As Borat would say, “very nice”
  15. Thank you Tony, appreciate the comment especially since you know a th8ng or 2 about fretless basses.
  16. Quick sound snippet..... Infinite Bass 5 FL.mp3
  17. I enjoy this thread, tinkering with wood is always a joy to watch.
  18. Thanks, much appreciated. I still need to finetune before I can fully answer that question. But first impressions are very positive. Today I worked on the nut (needed to sit a little deeper) and sorted the string height out. After everything has settled (give it a week or two) I will tweak again and record something. Thus far I am very happy, the wenge fretboard gives it a warmer rounder sound than my Status necked fretless. Acoustically it resonates well and there is ample “mwaah”. More pics and sound bites will come
  19. Still all the tweaking to do, but it is a bass....
