    Price Drop £300 if collected For sale is my beautiful V7 Five String. I only bought this in case I ever needed a fiver for an awkward keyed song. I absolutely love the bass but can't get on with the neck width at the nut, I have tiny hands. It's never been gigged - in fact, it hasn't left the house, so it's immaculate, blemish free, in fact I'd go so far as to say it's almost virginal in its innocence. OK I'll stop waffling sorry. She's Ash bodied - looks like two piece with a maple board and pearloid block inlays. She weighs in at a reassuring 10.2lb I'm not really looking for trades but may be interested in something short scale, particularly if it were japaneezy and Mustang shaped. I'm based in sunny Milton Keynes and you're welcome to come over for a socially distanced tryout, or I can post at your expense and risk. Price Drop £300 if collected

    Not many five string shorties about is there? Iban ezhave filled a gap with these and if it's as good as the four string version should sell well, assuming the low B sounds ok.

    I use one of these for my mild valvey overdrive sound - love it!

    Sorry fella, my holes are too big 😒
  6. King Tut
    I need to check hole size when I get home. If correct I'll have these pleeze!

    I'd jump on that if I were nearer. My first bass was one of them.

    I'd guess that there's Mahogany and Mahogany. I'd like to think the basses you're talking about are probably made from a more sustainable variation of Mahogany. I'd do a bit more research if I were you before ruling out some decent instruments.

    I play short and long scale basses. I've got tiny hands so I can play faster and more comfortably on short scales. I only really continue with long scale because I have some beautiful basses and I can't bear to let them go. I only really play continue to play a Ric in Stray because the original bass player used one and the rest of the band, crew and fans kind of expect it! The Ric does have a slightly shorter scale than a Fender mind!!

    I've just been learning this and the thing that stood out for me is how important it is to suss the best right hand plucking technique for the various bits, especially the little Jaco-esque phrase that starts on the FB. I've set up a similar drum loop and just gradually upped the tempo until I can do 104 BPM. Stated Friday and I'm just about there but not quite clean enough yet to be satisfied!

    I love it. I play in a Classic Rock Band called Stray playing on the medium size venue circuit. It's easily loud enough with power to spare. I use a pedal for overdrive, but it will overdrive. I tend to use mine just under break up. It excels at a nice warm middly sound that cuts through the mix a treat. If warm and middly isn't your bag I believe the Mosfet version gives a more modern tone.

    Ive had two. They sound great but are pretty weighty to lug about. You wont get much dirt out of them though. I use a Veyron Tube head now. Cheap and good for rock!

    Gorgeous bass.

    Balls I've just bought a new one in red but green is my fav colour!
  15. King Tut
    Did you manage to get an off the shelf scratchplate for the Mustang or did you have to have one made up?
  16. King Tut
    This resurrection has encouraged me to give mine an airing!

    I just bought a Yamaha TRBX 305. Weighs in at bang on 9lb. I like it lots!
  18. King Tut
    Same for me!

    I played at The 100 Club last year. I let the support band use my rig, which Wasa barefaced BB2 and an Eden EX112 powered by my 'spare' amp which was an Elf. They were a loud classic rock band called Pig Iron. The sound engineer had to ask Hugh, their bass player, to turn down. So yeah if you're playing through efficient speakers, they're loud enough to gig!

    STRAY - UK Tour

    King Tut replied to King Tut's topic in Gigs

    Just wanted to share this rather nice vid from our show at The Garage. Essentially Rik 4003 into Joyo Orange Juice into Bugera Veyron 1001T. Di Post EQ. You can hear the bass a treat with headphones. I'm pretty happy with that tone.
  22. King Tut
    Nice - our rhythm guitarist in Stray uses a couple of HB guitars!
  23. King Tut
    I've changed my board a bit and now using a Joyo Orange Juice for a mild overdrive. If you clip the pre on the Veyron it tends to rough it up a bit, particularly if you boost the mids on the middle of the three settings. Ironically I'm trying it with 2k boosted tonight for a bit more edge! EDIT - just realised you've got the MOSFET version.
  24. King Tut
    So i've used my Bugera for the last three nights having done 7 on the bounce with my Trace - all other things being equal. Last night can't count as we had a bit of a balls up. The engineer accidently knocked my DI switch from post to pre when we changed bands which resulted in massive bass going to front of house overwhelming the mix which we had to work through. However in Norwich, and tonight, at The Garage, I had a glorious sound, more than enough volume and a really nice focussed low mid. The EQ isn't as versatile as the Trace but the sound is nice and musical, and the convenience factor is great. So my Bugera is the way forward for the time being!
  25. King Tut
    Thanks Lozz. It's going through just the B1xfour on that song with a fuzz setting (a muff I think) and a Joyo Orange Juice. Fuzztastic!
