Cheers mate, yes will factor that into the decision making 😊

Thanks soooo much for you help, much appreciated.

That looks very nice. Will have a good look later at this. @Hellzero Do you speak German? If so Any possibility of asking the seller if they’d ship to the UK? Many thanks.

My P bitsa has the Cali blue Sonic body and USA neck, Hipshot lightweight tuners. It is joyous at 8lb, EMG Geezers too - love it.

Cheers mate, I was hoping to try the NS Pulse 2, but will have a look at the Euros you mentioned. 😊

I’ve got a max budget of around 2K but ideally around 1.5 or less. I’d prefer to get used if possible too.

That’s interesting to know. I remember looking at the online a while back. I may have a look in the shops too. Let me know if you decide to sell 😁

What did you change from and too? I’m wondering if I got down the custom route what pickups to consider. It’s really odd as I was never a fan of EMG’s but I put some in my Cort jazz a few months back and I’m loving them now.

What model Cort is it? I recall trying a used Cort 5 string jazz at PMT many moons ago and it was really light, and cheap. Still kick myself now for not buying it.

So I finally go on a lifetime dream family holiday very soon, a California dreaming road trip - a holiday that has witnessed the selling of many of my cherished bass pieces over the last 12 months to help fund...however I can confess to being a bit naughty on some occasions and bought other bassy bits too - 12 months is indeed a long time (Lightweight amps & speakers mainly). But overall i made a good contribution to the holiday funds with sales on here, local etc and feel I've done my bit. Fast forward to the here and now, and after today's post full on energetic 90 minute Ska gig back pain from last nights festival party, Mrs Raslee gives me the green light to buy a ultra lightweight bass....something I've been considering for a while with age, increasing bad back and physique, and more gigs coming in with the differing bands i currently play with. Last night i gigged my Precision bitsa that weighs in bang on 8lb which is my lightest 4 string bass, I also gig a Stingray Special at 8.6lbs (main bass), and a Cort Jazz at 9.1 lbs which i had the worst back ache gigging that one two weeks ago....sounded great though with upgraded EMG's! I'm sorted on the 5 string lightweight front with a 7.4 lb Cricket bat but i reserve that for my reggae band for when we get together. A few months back i had been seriously thinking about an eventual ultra lightweight 4 string purchase along the lines of the Sandberg SL's, but a recent add for a Spector RST on bass Bro's has peaked my interests at just over 6lbs in weight. However i think i'd prefer a P/J configuration to the RST's humbuckers but those Aguilar's on the RST do sound great from the reviews i've read/heard. I also have to admit i am getting a bit of Spector GAS, more so as one of my bands is thinking about a Blondie tribute and well, a nod to Leigh Fox perhaps, and it would be something different to my current holy trinity of P/MM/J. I also like the looks of the purple NS 2 Pulse model....hoping to try one on my holidays when in L.A. Any thoughts on lightweight basses, Spector, Sandbergs SL's...others etc etc...I will of course spend some monies on the Gym too...one day

Quick Q, is the RST 4 string the lightest Spector? I see Bass Bros have one at 6.4lbs and that weight is very appealing. Thing is i think i prefer the P/J configuration...i'm likely to be shopping for something ideally under 7.5lbs over the coming weeks post holidays.

If you’re looking for a great modern artist check out this guy - another great riddim to play ❤️💛💚

Loving playing this B-line with my reformed reggae band, great dub version too:

Oh wow, I’ll PM you 😊

I bought the Pure having previously owned 2x10 travellers in the past. I really like the travellers but have found the Pure has something magical about it, or at least it did the other day rehearsing some power trio classic rock tunes with some friends. With my Elf it was brilliant, really clear, warm and well defined low end but with mid cutting through nicely too…I personally loved it, and how well it cut through the mix and so loud and light. Of course it may just be the honeymoon period but I smiled a lot more than I ever did with the Travellers…but then I didn’t have the Elf back then either.

Hmmm,

Would love to but I have little time currently so would rather purchase if that was an option.
