[quote name='jahfish' timestamp='1442745347' post='2869109'] oh my word beautiful body grain! [/quote] Thanks, it definitely has style. The sound matches the looks as it does a good job of stretching between modern Jazz and "P" bass + more. Loads of aggression there if you want it. -
The world's first ever radio station devoted to the bass.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1442680868' post='2868748'] That's it really, you found a good one today but so many players get put off because they happen to pick up and try a not so good one, (of which there are plenty), or a poorly set up one, or one with worn out/dead strings. Find a good one though and it is such a pleasing thing and feels so right. [/quote] You got it, a good bass is a good bass.......add to that that most Fenders are uncomplicated and easy to live with so you have a winning combination. I find the same with Stingrays

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1442668060' post='2868641'] I have to add that the setup on this bass is absolutely spot-on. The bass guy in PMT Bristol insists on checking over every bass and setting them up if they need it. It certainly helped with my buying decision. [/quote] +1 on that PMT Bristol I tried a Mexican Jazz Standard and they had it set up brilliantly so I tried another and that was great too. Nice Congratulations

Bump for a hunk of woody goodness! -
The whole track has a great raw live feel that suits the vibe and feel. That can be difficult to achieve and I enjoyed it. No real criticism from me as I can't think of anything that would improve it.
-
Your on the right lines. Get a bass similar to the fretted one that you play. It makes it sooo much easier and you won't need to look at the lines or neck dots as much.

[quote name='sbrag' timestamp='1421942594' post='2666919'] I'd be up for something if it is up Bristol way. [/quote] I an probably arrange a venue in or around Bristol sometime but not now as we don't want to compete with Exeter or where ever. I may be able to do Exeter.

As an update I recorded the vocals and guitar int he studio acoustically and then added the bass at home. Finger style fretless sounds best to me. I tried 3 different basses from a Stingray to a P bass and they all sounded good. I'm probably going to go with the P bass. Note: I wish I had recorded the bass first...you live and learn I'll stick up a link to something once finished

Great pictures. I have the six string equivalent up for sale at the moment so know how good Crafters are. Have a bump!

Thanks, I did borrow one that had a Bart pre-amp and it was gorgeous. Maybe that is the answer [quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1442216106' post='2865116'] I had an MIJ SB320 that I put a Kiogon loom into. Just a simple Volume, Volume, Tone, Tone set up. Transformed the instrument into an even better bit of kit. Would recommend something along those lines. [/quote] or this

Where do I start? Well the bass is fretless and can be seen here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/269161-nanyo-bass-collections-are-annoyingly-good/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] It's a bit of an unknown but it is active and the serial number indicated its a 1991 bass. maybe a 320 or 461. I love playing it but am not so keen on the bridge pickup. It complements the neck pup but is very quiet and thin. The neck pup is much better but could be better defined. My current thinking is either: 1. change the pre-amp and bridge pup or 2, Ditch the preamp and go passive, probably with Entwistle pups or I could just forget it and just enjoy playing it-especially as I'm broke-at least until I sell something else. Any advice?
-
Well I'm still playing them all the time and have tried recording with the Fretless. It plays superbly but doesn't sound as good as my fretless P bass recorded. An upgrade is due I think so I'm about to set up a thread seeking advice....ooh also I'd be interested in a trade for a 5 for the 310 as that will be of more use to me-either that or I'll try and sell it to fund the upgrade. Note: I've worn my fingers out over the weekend playing that fretless
-
Are these still for sale
-
Does it have to be knew? Is 2nd hand "as new" any good. It just strikes me that nice USA MM's and Fender PJ's are within your budget Other PJ suggestions would be a yamaha 1024 or 1024x or the new Mexican Fenders seem worth a look

My favourite bass sound A 5 stringer such as a 1025x, Rebop, or electro-acoustic guitar-Takamine Japan or Breedlove USA . Try me [color=#333333]Here we have my prized USA Ernie Ball Stingray 5 (SR5). This is an awesome bass and sounds like only a Stingray can. I have owned and used this for a while but haven't been using it much recently so its time for someone else to play it. It really is an awesome beast and I will hate to see it go. [/color] [color=#333333]The colour is great as it isn't too bright but it shows up well under the lights. It has been lightly gigged but is in great condition.

Price 600 or near offer. Trades: A 5 stringer such as a 1025x, Rebop or Takamine Japan or Breedlove USA electro-acoustic [color=#333333]This SR3005e was my No1 base for a good while until I switched to a Stingray last year. It is a real looker, great to play and a tone monster, Bartolini customs with 3 band EQ and sweep-able mids. [/color] [color=#333333]It has been gigged but is well cared for. I believe it was made in the early 2000's and is from the very top of the Ibanez range. The current version is the 5005e. It's nice and light. The neck feels a little more substantial than the modern SR's but is still as fast and smooth to play [/color] [color=#333333]It comes in a its fitted case. [/color] [color=#333333]The reason for selling is to generate some cash so if other things sell I may remove this from the site.[/color] [font=Source Sans Pro, Arial, sans-serif][color=#333333][size=4]If you want more pictures or to give it a try ping me your email address.

Welcome to the SR5 fretless club, they are great basses. I love mine (natural) and they sound good with any type of music IMHO. Yours is a thing of beauty congratulations.

[quote name='Nuf' timestamp='1441718306' post='2861150'] Played several Bass collections... A friend of mine had a very unique model as well... [/quote] Wowzer,, it looks slippery. Is that the original neck? It looks most un BC like with the butterfly tuners etc.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1441709032' post='2861013'] I gigged one last year, now admittedly not in a hard rock band but I was impressed with the oomph factor. I plugged in to an MXR M80 pedal and then in to my Shuttle 6. Honestly it was awesomely loud and very comfortable for a three set gig. Why did I sell it [/quote] I'd gig with them just not in our current band...I like the sound and the front pickup in particular has a bit of beef

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1441707420' post='2860994'] I sold mine because it was so light. I was playing a Thumb at the time (followed on from a Hayman 40/40, then a P) and such a lightweight bass just felt wrong to me. I rather regret it now, it was a lovely bass. [/quote] I can understand that They are very light. I just weighed them with my crappy scales and the 310 is around 7ib 8oz, the fretless is about 8ib 8 oz. I thought the fretless was the lightest but was wrong. Maybe a different wood?
