    Welcome. Too many basses and unable to stop yourself buying more?? Join the club! Like your band, by the way.

    It's not. It's plain, albeit high quality leather, 4" wide and punched at a fixed length of 47", although it could obviously be shortened. I had it custom made to spread the load of a back-breaking Wal 5-string I owned a couple of years ago. I'll put up a couple of more detailed pictures shortly.

    Thanks Dan. It is the zenith of bass amps in my opinion. Unfortunately I don't do gigs big enough or frequently enough any more to justify keeping it, and have a Reidmar 502 and a couple of Proline 210s that do the job quite well when I do. It is lovely though!

    Sorry to hear that. I do love the simplicity and clean, uncluttered lines of this bass, but the unfortunately the colour really isn't for me... 🙁 GLWTS!

    Welcome to the forum, Mattz. That's a beautiful bass you've got there!
  12. lowregisterhead
    I had a 5-string Jerry Scheff a few years back. Very pretty and lovely to play, but the pickups were thin sounding to my ears, even with the assistance of the preamp, so I moved it on. Like you experienced, it took a while to sell.

    Gary bought a couple of straps from me. Friendly communication, immediate payment. Thanks!

    That's one way to attract traffic I suppose, but not necessarily a buyer! 😆

    Doubt it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/387707039318

    Sorry if I'm teaching Granny how to suck eggs regarding the tug bar. I didn't even notice the thumb rest by the bridge!
  18. lowregisterhead
    I've had both, and the first comment is correct IMHO - the Mesa is good, but grittier and lacks the glassy sparkle of the EBS. I've had HD350s and TD650s over the years, and moved them on as I tried out some Class D lightweight thing that didn't really do the job anything like as well. I currently use a EBS Reidmar 502, which is pretty close to the big boys tonally, and light as a feather, and recently splurged on an EBS 802, which is glorious, but only gets an outing when I know I don't have to carry it too far! Stick with the HD350. Or get an 802!! 😁

    The holes under the strings were for what was termed a 'tug bar' back in the day - the forerunner of a thumb rest, where the fingers would be curled around it, and the strings plucked with the thumb. According to the link below, the tug bar was added by Fender to accommodate Monk Montgomery, one of the first professional users of the Fender Bass. He played with his thumb, just as his brother Wes did. He later switched to using a felt pick. https://www.bestbassgear.com/ebass/gear/hardware/what-is-a-tug-bar-on-an-electric-bass.html

    I’m having a big clear-out, so up for grabs is one of Martin Peterson’s beautiful hand-made creations, a Sei Jazz 5-string. I picked it up on here earlier this year, and as lovely as it is, I just find myself gravitating back to my extra-long scale Laklands, so I’ve decided to move it on. NOW SOLD
  25. lowregisterhead
    Love the finish! GLWTS.
