If a company can't be bothered to reply to a potential customer then I'm out!
Anyway I have a WIngbass which I think fills the brief better, and as far as I know was the original half-bass
Well originally it was £39 inc. p&p when adjustable with hardware and a pick holder. I was expecting it to be a bit more with the customisations but it was the same. Not cheap I guess but it’s exactly what I wanted so fair enough. The ends are proper leather not PU.
I used to be like that but now I like to retain the seated position when standing. Not that I’ll ever stand if there’s somewhere I can sit instead! Even then, I’ve been liking a strap whilst seated recently.
I normally use wide leather straps on my other basses but this bass is very light and I think a normal guitar strap looks nicer too.
Etsy is great though they’ll make whatever you want! I’ve had loads of straps from there.
And I’m lazy! I hate it when I go into shops and can’t play anything. I think most basses I’ve had I’ve ended up having to file down the G saddle because they won’t go low enough 😂
Hi folks
I prefer fabric or nylon straps on one of my basses but don’t like the buckle you get on adjustable length ones. Call me weird but I also don’t like that part of the strap is doubled where it loops back. I tend to have my strap quite short so this ends up being most of the length.
After measuring my preferred length from hole to hole (100cm) I went to Etsy to find someone to make me a fixed length job.
A few emails and the next day it’s ready - being posted as we speak (from Ukraine I think)
I really like Etsy for this sort of thing.
Cheers

The bridge pickup is original, neck is a newer one. Also the bridge has been changed to a Schaller 3D (actually a better bridge) than the original.
£700 is an absolute bargain 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes and if I turn slightly. I remember in an old house my bass amp would make a whining noise when the light in the lounge was on, the room next door. Old wiring I guess.
Hi there. Thanks for supporting the site. It looks like the renewal invoice was issued 13 hours ago so you might have an email to alert that payment will be taken. If you’d prefer to do it now manually please use this link and there should be a ‘renew now/pay now’ button

You know the ones that were on my Vigier you briefly played - they’re over two years old!! Love the strings and Elixir are good friends of the forum too.
😂 I'm starting to think I don't want to sell it now!!
Not sure of the measurements actually, but I think the spacing is 19mm at the bridge and 40mm at the nut, specs which Ken has stuck with up until now. 34" scale.
