What are you listening to right now?

Agreed. My A4 had a small ring system and several small moons.
-
I have played about three notes on it, but it's certainly slimmer neck compared to the Godin. I'll report back further once it's back from fettling.
-
Ah yes, the Iceland Air Air Hostesses Netball Team.
-
Of course. The fretless does sound lovely, but, as someone who is lucky enough to own a bespoke @Jabba_the_gut fretless (which I prefered to my fretless Rob Allen), I am contractually bound to say it doesn't sound Jabba good.
-
No, there's going to be a sale or two I think to get me down to three basses.
-
The Sire was £2,180 less than the current price for a new Godin A4 Ultra. The Godin was a lovely sounding bass but it was way too big and heavy for me.
-
Agreed *joins ass kicking queue*
-
Yes, I noticed yours had the same string wrapping as mine.
-
It still had the wrapping around the strings and came from the warehouse rather than the shop so I'm assuming it wasn't ex-display.

I received a brand new bass from Andertons this week, no cosmetic issues but the battery was dead.
-
Preamp yes, tuner no.
-
Having had a Godin A4 I shall be doing a direct comparison once it’s set up. It’s certainly several tonnes lighter.
-
Yes. It seems to be an issue with these particularly, I was expecting it.
-
Hmmm, needs a set up (nothing drastic, action is a bit high, fret ends need smoothing down) but otherwise I can't find a fault. Perfect service/delivery from Andertons/DHL, I shall let you know how it is after a visit to Guitar Technical Services...

...that'll teach you to enhance your hampton with a M&S eclair.

In case anyone is puzzled that's a strictly DOI spelling, there.

FTFY

I am not driving all that way again..! *checks bank balance* -
Try Tiny Tone next time, they took eleven days to do two for me.

This is interesting reading as I am just about to invest in a handheld recorders, probably a Zoom, to record rehearsals. A little simpler here as it's just bass, acoustic guitar and vocals. This might save me having to start a new thread...
