Seems a lot for a no-name Chinese copy?

I had a package sent to me First Class Recorded Delivery yesterday and it has not arrived: thought this thread may throw some light on it...

£349 for a Maserati, sounds a bit high!

Now sold out...

I like my new Star Bass, it looks very like the avatar photo.....

[i]Yes, for real, the strings and photo, not the trip to SF etc, still working on that with him![/i]

Just like to say a big "Thanks" to Tac England and Rocco following my question. It was really great for them to fly me across to San Francisco, arrange for me to go to a TOP gig and have a personal Bass lesson with the great man himself..................................................................................................................................................I wish! However, the next best thing was a parcel that arrived today with an autographed photo ( of Rocco) and a set of 5 Ironworks Bass Strings in an autographed tin.

Shhhhhhhhhsh!

You'd think they'd have covered the neck as well...?

Will a Morgan play Metal....l?

Surprised the free Tuner has been left as new, seems a bit inconsistent.....!

Has to be Motown and James Jamerson. Remember school disco c 1967 and hearing "Reach Out and I'll be there" and thinking "that bass line is doing interesting things" and "I'd like to be able to do that". 46 years later I still aspire.....

"Main defect was a broken end tuner".......are you sure? It would seem to my untutored eyes to be that hot rail stuck in a p-bass gap at a horrible angle. But what do I know.....?

What a bargain...if your original ones are broken and you need authentic ones to replace them....!

No worries, it must be pretty unusual for 2 people actually wanting to talk to the Bassist.......!

Saw it..

Looks like the Berri then although I may sneak in the Gramma too!

Just chanced on this: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/cruztools_bas1_bass_player_tech_kit.htm?sid=705b8e56050784eb6a75f741d6f3becb"]http://www.thomann.d...a75f741d6f3becb[/url] I like a nice tool...

[quote name='Junkyard Rocket' timestamp='1379540967' post='2214095'] gramma pad? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/auralex_acoustics_gramma.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...tics_gramma.htm[/url] [/quote] Good suggestion!

Why not ask him, he's on here a lot, same name!

Yes, used my Stagg EUB and 5 string in last band, Jazzier stuff on the Stagg and rockier with the 5 String Bass.

Thanks so far, but got headphones, like to hear my bass through big speakers, enough strings ( I change them once a year whether they need it or not), drummer records gigs, got enough straps too....! Looks like the Markbass stand or the Behringher BDI-21
