I have never wanted anything so much that i cant have .... that is fantastic ... i had been looking at something similar on a stand website and they go for close to if not over £200 ... https://www.stand-made.co.uk/product-category/multi-guitar-stand-racks/retro-style-multi-guitar-stands/ I reckon if you dad ever needs a sideline he'd have a queue going out the door.

I have the Hotone thunder bass , somewhere .... >.< moving is a bi*** but i remember it actually sounding very reasonable a little SVT , if a little hissy into my old trace elliot 15 inch cab could have easily been bad connections or power ... for the hiss , for headphone practice pretty perfect ... but wouldnt you just be better off using a laptop , some IR responses and a cheap interface.

I’ve recently bought a bass of Flat Eric, I had contacted him regarding advice on Vintage Ovations and one thing lead to another. Wonderful chap would deal again and you should deal in absolute confidence. He was very accommodating and even drove down to London to ensure the bass arrived safely. We both agreed that couriers shouldn't be trusted with Vintage things that ultimately can’t be replaced for the actual monetary value we have to place on them. I am now the proud new owner of My unicorn bass … a Grey burst Ovation Magnum III … I think it’s 83 which makes it 2 years older than me …

Short of the odd strip of electrical tape connecting the two halves of the pickup cover ... and the fact that the pickups don't align correctly, they are sort of scootched in i don't see a huge amount different . One of the more veteran old smoothie owners may be along shortly... there is definitely something about the neck though I play a jazz normally and stuggled with big P necks ...this is smooth as they come.

I bet the body is probably butcherblock larch scrap with copious amounts of Glue which is whats giving it its stone esq weight . Nothing is wasted in the USSR 😉 except the people .... * ducks large object thrown by other half*

Well back from rehearsal ... woah nelly that's big tone ... definitely cutting through very happy camper right now .

I have called in my Russian better half to read the details from the manual, The model of the bass is " Belarus" , most of the manual is the usual details you'd expect, like length, number of octaves achievable etc and like the amount of certain metals and stuff. She says what specfically did you need reading from it it's a lot of technical language, I'm not gonna translate it without significant effort

In hindsight, I should have probably given her a wipe down after the 2 hour getting to know each other session, i spy mucky fingerprints already ..... I could have sworn the one I played had detents in the Eq .... this doesnt ???

They were too busy playing with a status over by the counter ... I just got a ... You gonna buy it then ... They Seemed a bit annoyed when I asked for a printed reciept too .. but I passed an older chap on the owner on the way out who seemed interested in what I bought and if I was happy .

No I didn't , if I'm honest the 2 young guys really didn't seem too interested ... Some jaw dropping stuff on there , I asked about the 79 refin... Sold

Well bass direct no longer have a chocolate burst old smoothie in stock ........ Because it's in the back of my car 🙂 .... Condition brand new with all case tags and keys .... Used twice by a musician who decided to stick with p basses .

Mine Actually wont let me sell my status .. she has grown attached to looking at it on the wall.

Yup , If you like the finish the guitar is excellent, it's not for me though, I went to try a regular ray ... and I figured i'd just try it to if the price bump was worth it MISTAKE ....... I adored the playability and tones ... but the look .... no no no ! It looked like some Ikea Kitchen doors we had when we moved in to our house very 90's ..... " Tropical Manilla" ....... https://photos.app.goo.gl/Vn0MCMS5JCNB3tax1 .... here share my woe.

Oh im driving up to bassdirect tommorrow 🙎‍♂️ ... hands of ladies and gents

Hiram ... dont foil my dream/ plans, but yes i doubt ill be holding my breath to find a second hand one . maybe i'll have to look at the seafoam green one ... its preferable to the blonde.

Oof , Mansons i want to support you , you sold me first bass aged 11 but @ £2,339.99 :-S . The label on the in-store butterscotch " Angel delight ?, smoothie was at 1799 but priced 1699 online ....

Yelp I was in Andertons today, trying out some stingrays as im trying to decide if this is where i want to go next ( traditionally a jazz bass guy) as it was rather quiet the chap just said to me, im nipping to lunch help yourself to any of the rays and ill see you in 45 minutes ... So i tried, subs, sterling ray 34's rays classic rays and the old smoothie , holy crap I want this bass ... but I absolutely detested the butterscotch finish ... so it couldn't go home with me , does anyone know where i can find a chocolate burst one, Im considering the green but its a bit loud for me ..

I have an eBay special Unbranded 70 quid Jazz I bought when drunk many years ago because I liked the white and maple, I upgraded the pickups with some Duncan's and a nice Ki0g0n loom, I would put money on it up against any fender passive Jazz bass in a blindfolded playing test. This bass for me kicks the living "profanity" out of my 70's Fender Jazz, I feel more comfortable with it at gigs and rehearsals than with my status and it produce's more volume, has more easily sculptable tones with lots of usable in between settings (I presume because of the better pots Ki0g0n uses ) I've had basses that the tone knob might as well have been a switch. It's naturally more " middy/brighter " because of the full maple neck and fingerboard, I find it it cuts through a mix better ... and because I've played it quite a bit the neck has worn to a nice satin from the high gloss. It could do with a hardware upgrade the unbranded tuners are bog standard but they stay in tune with no issues and the only issue with the bent bit of tin fender style bridge was a bit of saddle buzz which was i solved with a little bit of bluetack between the E and A saddles. At my last audition I was asked what it was .....by some rather guitar obsessed guys ... because it sounds huge, I just called it a self build , I got the gig ;-) Downside .... this bass has its own Gravity well ..... No idea what its made of probably butcher block or lead but it must be close to 12lbs

Pirate studios in either Notting hill or Earlsfield get my bet https://www.piratestudios.co.uk/
