I’ll be going on the Saturday. Thoroughly enjoyed last year. 🙏

I had a lot of fun playing through this at last nights rehearsal. It’s the first time I’ve been in a room with amps and a drum kit playing rock music for about 8 years! After 5 years of silent stages, in-ear monitors and acoustic guitars. I had completely forgot how flippin’ loud it is 🤣 Still, the trusty ACS just about saved my lug holes. Dusted off the old faithful Jazz Bass which I’ve had since I was 13 and it all sounded blooming marvellous! It’s nice to feel bass again! This was my dream rig for about 10 years, of which I never achieved. I had the head with a 2x10 & 1x15 but could never justify the 8. I still kick myself regularly for shifting my old ABM rig!

Gorgeous that 👌

I bought an Akai Midi Pad from Alan. Super easy and friendly transaction. Posted quickly, and arrived exactly as planned. Pleasure, thanks 👍 Alex

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
AlexDelores replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Yeah I regularly curse myself for missing that one. Just didn’t have the cash at the time. -
I’m looking to essentially ‘pinstripe’ my bass as I really like the look of binding on guitars, and In a bit of homage to Jared Followill old pinstriped T’Birds… Can anyone with experience in panting basses recommend a paint type for this and a brush over gloss. My main worry is it would just rub off where my arm falls. I’ve done a ChatGPT mock up to demonstrate what I’m looking for. But it would just be a single line around the edge of the body/headstock/pickup surround/ pick guard and I wouldn’t be actually binding the neck😅 Thanks Alex

Yeah me too. I think the idea of importing, and them very rarely becoming available 2nd hand has been a big factor in me not getting one. The idea of importing seems daunting and has put me off on the times I’ve come close. -

D’oh, i had managed to forget how much I wanted a Junior Jazz and now he’s reminded me how good they are 😅 I do like this chaps videos! He seems to really break down every element in his reviews 👍 -
NBD: Cort GB5 Modern - A black Friday bargain!!
AlexDelores replied to carlsim's topic in Bass Guitars
Congrats looks very nice indeed! I absolutely love my GB fusion 5 but absolutely love the wood on these! The Pickguard is off mine but I’m yet to fit any capheads and it looks great without! Enjoy! -
Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2025?
AlexDelores replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Best - It was very close between my Cort Fusion 5 and my Zoom B6. But I’d say the Zoom takes it because it’s already earned its cost back tenfold, and it’s got me out of a few terrible sounding rooms already. Honourable mention also goes to the 2 1x15 homemade Eminence powered bass cabs I got from my local shop for the disgusting price of £40. They’re fantastic. Worst - Snugs custom moulded IEM sleeves.. I unfortunately dropped my £1k 64 Audio CIEMS and shattered the shell, in the middle of wedding season. So, I anticipated a long repair time having to be shipped out etc. I bought the snugs to go on to a second hand set of Shure 535s I picked up off eBay to get me through until I got the good ones back. Well, they do the job of isolation, but other than that they’re rubbish. Big, bulky, uncomfortable, and I’m fairly certain that at times made the wires on my headphones cause cutouts. And they cut my ears to bits for the first week or so. Still, I’ve got the 64s back now which are amazing! -
For what it’s worth, there’s a very nice Sadowsky on BassBros website at the moment 👍

No idea, I’m merely a sheep. But, I believe it’s come across from forums such as Reddit that aren’t so bass specific. I’ve read plenty of random threads where people have asked this about a pickup combination or amp etc… The Basschat equivalent surely would be ‘what’s the weight?’ Anyway, back to the thread at hand… very cool! Naive as I am, I think after googling it, it’s some of the first pictures I’ve ever seen of bootsy not actually looking like ‘Bootsy’

Will this work for metal?

That is rather lovely! You’ve got a very, very nice collection of Jazzes now haven’t you?
