@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! 
 

what a beauty! ❤️

Here are the samples with description on SoundCloud.

The bass is taken straight into DI. 

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!!

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.

New Year's bump!

New Year's bump!

New Year's bump!

*TEMPORARY WITHDRAWN*

Due to a lot of GAS, I decided to put it back for sale. I bet, I'm gonna regret this!

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.

What a stunner, GLWTS!

A bass sound good, or doesn't, depending "we-don't-know-what"

@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.

@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"

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!  

@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.

aaah haven't said that!
That's been my "loud thinking" actually

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!

Ovankol neck has this "spring" in tone that I am missing since I sold thumb bolt on! ❤️

Aaahh forgot to mention, I really like ovankol neck in wicks! 

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! 

Kalium is a former CircleK company. They used to produce a custom guages.

Love the sound of the Corvette, @noise_art. What strings are you using?

Love the groove too. Your playing is cool. Many thanks

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)

I personaly don't give a ****, you are Polski bassista.

I will post a video tonight of my Streamer, in one -video- post, I can say much more instead of 224 posts (even if, you got free bumps )

Sure thing! I'll check it out with pleasure!

przepraszam, przepraszam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😅

 

I meant "YOUR" fingers. (even if our sounds good too in the sentence)

aah, no matter buddy, we're all a family

Back to the point, I know that maybe I am a little "unknown" here but I can vote for basses that I have/owned!
Sometimes you sell basses when "they" done all things that these had to  And to be honest it's nothing bad in this point!

Sorry to be off topic (you can replay me on MP if you want) but I'm curious, did you ear a big difference between standard and brass bridge ? Because the price difference is huge anyway. And what about the preamp and pickups ? I think to change the MEC on my SS2 to had something with less high end sound.

I cannot answer shortly.
I put BadAss V bridge into high-end Supra Sonic bass recently. It took all things that I didn't like from that instrument.
The red one corvette has faster low's it's not so "woolly". But notice that Basstecs that I was looking for a long time for this bass do the job too.
The most unacceptable thing for me is that this brass bridge costs a lot. But it is another thing that most of basses that we have in the market now are overpriced

And it's not true that "better brigde" is better - for example, I put Hipshot Transtone (heavy one) into my Mensfeld precision, which I've moded too. It's a budget bass (you cannot find it out of Poland), was made in 90 by Maciej Mensfeld (some of his High Class instruments were listed once on the Luthiers Access Group). It was my second bass when I was kid. Sentimental journey.
I changed everything in it and it sounds really cool (but it's imossible to resell it and I accept that). To be honest I prefered the stock Chinese/Korean bridge from 90's. It was warm/round etc.
So - according to the question - it's a myth that better bridge is a point as many people say.
Every bass has it's own harmness, we cannot judge until we try.

Oddly, even if this 'vette sounds awesome, it sounds too jazzy for me. It has lost its "Sound of wood" a little.

But anyway, our fingers sound awesome on both basses so basically we shoul'nt give a **** about the gear ! Love your groove.

First, you're too kind, I am not worthy!

I got ya with this "sound of wood" but it still depends to me where the bass would be used.
I played on many Warwicks that were simply a piece of stinky poo as well as Fenders etc. It's a wood, not just - you know, repeatable 
things. But it's another story and I belive you know what I mean.
Some of them could be better when you replace goods inside.

For some personal reason I could try to change harmness, take off the MECs in order to "achieve more concrete" sound to my personal taste. But I don't. Let it play with someone else, just where it will fit better because it's a descent bass at all!
