  1. @FunkyDude I play commonly on 19mm, and found that Mayo makes one of most comfortable basses to play even if these are not wide-spacing As I don't know when I would be using this bass next time, just let myself to put it for sale But fully I understand your personal prefs! Cheers mate!
  2. @FunkyDude thank you for your patience! I did measurements and the It's possible to make it wider up to 17 mm - sorry for mistake!
  3. what a beauty! ❤️
  4. Here are the samples with description on SoundCloud. The bass is taken straight into DI.
  5. Oh, it's really old thing I was involved in! Great times! if you type in YT "nadchodzi czas" - it will show another song from this time. It was recorded on Sandberg Ken Taylor Imbuja, maybe it's gonna be helpful for the demo of Sandberg if anyone needs I can provide the BE Fretless soundsamples in PM as the stuff I recorded on this beauty is still waiting for release I am open to resonable price negotiations because of GAS for another bass! Cheers @NickD!!
  6. Hey @FunkyDude it's adjustable. from 16.5 I belive to 18.5 or more. EDIT: Yes, the stock string spacing is 16.5, I will check the maximum when I get back home.
  7. New Year's bump!
  8. Due to a lot of GAS, I decided to put it back for sale. I bet, I'm gonna regret this!
  9. I've sold my SY300 couple days ago because I am not a really synth player and didn't use it much. Had V-Bass before and what I need to say is the SY300 is the best of all. It takes some time to get in habit with these OSC's. But actually will miss this unit. I am not sure but would go rather into analog-path rather than midi out. G5 is cool also, pitty that''s quite expensive nowdays.
  10. @Marcoelwray I have to disagree with that. Certainly we cannot classify the wood in order to find the best one. And yes - most of luthiers or widely "guitar makers" (because it seems to be not "a craftmanship" anymore rather than when someone calls himself as "the luthier" is rather "a carpenter" indeed) just don't pay much attention to the wood. And it's sad also we can see this - quality instruments cost much, these instruments have a "quality look" (or simply looks attractive) but the sound is just a different pair of shoes. They justify this point as "good wood should cost/Crisis in Africa/Environment" but as we all know - new models are still present at the market etc. So it's a simple thing: marketing costs, production costs are getting lower whereas the final product needs to be more expensive. That's a bigger issue.
  11. @Grangur to give you a better explanation of my point of view, I'd paste this: There was "famous" experiment done by Fodera, they built three basses from *exact* the same piece of wood. You can hear the conclusion, the NTB sounds weak (to my personal taste) According to this I played on some Foderas in my life, but only two or three were "worth" that money - it's another story Personally I prefer bolt-on construction as it has the strongest (punchy) attack. Trully said it does not matter really when the instrument is involved in a band (some people sayin' this shi**y myth that "brass nut is better" or some minor improvements can be distinctive at all). In my opinion the bass guitar just needs to be judged in a band-context, because we're a part of a whole "picture" of this painting called "song"
  12. Bump guys, I can show you the soundsamples in PM because the stuff that's been recorded is still in progress. But it's worthy instrument at all!
  13. @Grangur in my opinion body just doesn't play. the body can help to achieve something like "taste", what means, if you have alder body from a quality wood it should sound like "mid-growling", "butter" or sth. But to my ears the neck is a foundation of sound. The body could help only. So if the bass has shi***y neck, there's no way to improve the sound instead. The construction matters but I prefer bolt-ons as these having strong attack.
  14. haha, I prefer ovankol instead of wenge, but this red one corvette is wenge/ash and plays well Wenge sounds warm and puffy, whereas ovankol is fast and "springy" All is a matter of taste and particular band though!
  15. Ovankol neck has this "spring" in tone that I am missing since I sold thumb bolt on! ❤️
  16. First of all, thanx for video, I appreciate it! I had Thumb BO bass for "the Insolent" release of Antigama, I am missing it a bit! It has Thumb-NTIV pickups placement but had different vibe (darker). I know the V string bolt on well too. The streamer sounds like a good streamer LX should be sounding. + it has an ovankol neck. It has the same "puffy" lows and It's a quality bass!
  17. I use random strings mate. I don't really care much I am not changing strings until I am giggin' or doing studio work. I would say that I really like GHS because these are "soft" even old. and this Red Corvette has Boomers. In the LTD I have ...Warwicks Red Label and I think that it's better to have 5packs of these than one Elixirs (SIC!) To be honest everything depends on what type of sweat you have. I am wearing out ErnieBalls in 2hours. But steel Sadowsky lasts longer, are more resistable. So I like GHS Boomers, Sadowsky and ...Warwick Red Label (but these wicks are worse now that I've used in a past sadly)
