    So an update a few months on. I have decided which I am keeping, simply because I'll keep the ones I'm using. I've use the Lakland live with a band called Thermions, for semi acoustic sets. It is solidly built, sounds great and looks great. The Gretsch is lovely in every way, but I haven't used it other than at home so I have decided to move it on. Note: I don't use my short scales so they will have to go, lovely though they are (I also have a supro) The Spectorcore is my Hellcats back up, It has been used for a gig and for rehearsals. Its nice and light and sounds great so its a keeper My peerless, I have already invested in and it looks cool. It's my 4 string "rock bass" and used for live informal work

    Great basses these! Very musical electronics with plenty of oomph!

    It will be interesting to try the fretted version. Based on my past experience with an Esh, with a similar system it should cope with everything I throw at it but we'll see. I just love experimenting.

    Thanks, sound advice (excuse the pun) and its good to know I'm not alone. No more peeking at other basses for me for a while, well maybe a quick peek before I sleep!😂 Note: I'll know how the Spectorcore works by next weekend, maybe I try try a comparison

    Years ago I bought a crafter acoustic bass learned the hard way that "acoustic basses can be feedback monsters", so gave them a wide birth for years. That was until 2019, when I got my beloved semi-hollow Peerless Cassidy bass. Then a couple of months back I scored a smart, Gretsch short scale, which I noodle with and play at work when I'm learning stuff. All well and good but things have now got out of control. My aim was to sell but Instead of selling I traded my jazz for a Lakland hollow Body bass. I bought a Dearmond Starfire bass locally about 2 weeks ago, which is currently getting its electrics sorted, and now I bought a Spectocore fretted 5 as my spare for gigging. My head hurts! I consider myself lucky but maybe I'm just going nuts! 1. I can't keep em all, which do I keep? 2. Where an I going to store them even?? 3. Will the Spectorcore be good for rock and metal 😂? 4. Am I insane?? No need to answer the last one!

    WOW

    I'm sure they are fine for storage and occasional use but in light of your comment I'm glad I looked elsewhere

    Swapped a bass with paddy. Good coms made it a pleasant experience. Many thanks Ed

    Thanks, they look just the job but the specs say Fender FB610 Electric Bass Gig Bag, Black | PMT Online, which is why I discounted them. I do need the 40cm. Do they distort to fit? Ed
  14. Pinball
    Thanks for the replies, I saw the blake but it said no postage. I have messaged just in case and I need something that is 40cm wide. I may end up with a rockbag, but as carrying it on my back is the main purpose it doesn't sound ideal 👍

    Just adding that I can't see much else. A Mono Virtigo maybe but they are expensive bits of kit for occasional use Nothing else?

    Hi, can someone help be by letting me know the internal length of the above please? Update: now not needed thanks
  17. Pinball
    Was mine, I was tempted to buy it back. It does the biz

    Hi all, I'm lucky enough to own a JC and Lakland hollowbody basses, and would really like to get myself a decent gig bag to avoid lugging around. There are some posts on here but they are old and out of date? Anyone got any recommendations or selling. Both are pretty thin in terms of depth and the max body width is 41cm. I did find this on Thoman but would prefer to find something with more internal support Rockbag Starline Hollowbody E-Bass Bag – Thomann UK Any help would be much appreciated

    I was going to say Stingray lol The Anaconda basses have great pups, not sure if that qualifies as sissle though.

    Last push! Otherwise keeping it!

    Hi just updated the specs and weight above. Lots of great reviews out there (couldn't find a bad one). Here is an overview of a similar bass of a similar age:
  23. Pinball
    Its a nice weight, not heavy and well balanced. ill try and weigh it tonight. I have a bunch of questions to answer. I'll also try and find a relevent YT video . Apologies I failed with info on the original listing.
