    That HB Stingray is a great score, more pics needed though!

    Nice basses these GLWTS

    I think at maybe the last (or second to last) jam night I went to there was a guitarist trying to set up his Orange valve head and cab (either a 4x10 or 4x12, dunno) while stood directly in front of it, drivers pointing at the back of his knees. Then he perched on the corner of the cab with it blasting out in front of him. Sounded bloody awful!

    Still a good deal IMO, those Gotohs aren't cheap (around a ton new) and the tuners are the main thing that people swap on Sires, the other being the knobs which you've also already done!

    This. Absolute crazy bargain and already has the tuners upgraded.

    Might be camera angle trickery but the angle of the B, E and A slopes downwards there, on yours it looks like it's a gently V shaped with the A being obscured by the E. Obviously Mr. Farmer knows what he's doing so probably just the perspective!

    This is true, many moons ago I was after a Squier Jazz as a backup, my local shop (supplies a ton of learners as he does a lot of teaching) couldn't get one in for love nor money as he had a small premises and couldn't place large enough orders. He ended up stocking Vintage and Crafter instruments.

    May be basing it on the B5 I bought new for £220 a couple of years ago, just had a quick look and they're around twice that now.

    Price a little on the high side for me and the lined board is a dealbreaker but this looks like a great bass and obviously will play and sound like one being a Cort. I see they're slapping a Fishman badge on those generic piezo bridges too (which sound great btw), Cort do love their licenses! Doesn't say what preamp is in there though, I take it it's just a buffer and the Bart MKI is used passively? Should sound very nice if so, hopefully they do a 5er.

    Had to look that up, probably shouldn't have done it on my work laptop!

    And pissflaps.

    That looks great, in natural finishes the Mockingbird and the Eagle suit any genre IMO.

    Surely the way to do a twin neck Thumb is to have one lefty and one righty, Michael Angelo style?
  14. lemmywinks
    It's great they're doing a model more in line with Squier pricing, IIRC the V7 was originally around this price at launch wasn't it?

    If it's just the middle part you need (the yellow and black part with velcro) then a standard velcro comfort sleeve would do provided you got one wide enough, if you need the rest you might struggle as I don't think you can buy them. If it's an expensive bag I would just email the company who made it.

    Those V3 basses are pretty much the same spec as their more expensive brothers aren't they? £297 for the mahogany 5er looks like a great deal too: https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/electric-bass-guitars/sire-marcus-miller-v3-5-string-bass-guitar-natural-mahogany

    Crikey that's bad! At first it was the state of those pickup surrounds that was the most shocking but then I saw what was underneath them: What a waste of a nice pair of Barts.

    Glance admiringly at your gear, hands on hips with a proud look on your face and say: "Yes it is isn't it dear? Thanks for noticing, I've spent a lot of time and effort assembling it." It's good she's taking an interest in your hobbies, that's the foundations of a strong relationship.

    No worries, these feel like great strings, I'm a little gutted they don't fit as I really fancied a play on them!
  21. lemmywinks
    These are a little short for my daughter's bass so are up for grabs, length of the E from the ball end to the windings is about 31" and are a little short on a 30" scale bass. I think @Osiris is next according to Trevor, then I guess @Matt P and then @CameronJ going by this thread?
  22. lemmywinks
    I think the neck (as well as the bridge and other hardware) are from an old Tanglewood Rebel 4k, the E & A string tuners are positioned lower than the D & G tuners, it's the opposite on the Bass Collections AFAIK. Pic pinched off the web: The bridge matches too, a BBOT style but with a bulkier anchor point at the back.

    .....but you just can't kick the crack addiction: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Hand-Made-Bass-Guitar/183248708536?_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D50545%26meid%3D608525996034497d904005f2a97b9928%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26sd%3D392054107837%26itm%3D183248708536&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982 Tbh anything with "custom" or "handmade" in the title makes me expect something like this, it's not even fun anymore.

    Is this a commercial sale or a private trade though? As far as I can tell he played the guitar at the guy's house and was happy so swapped his guitar for it. Although the friend of the OP may be gutted it's probably him who'll be learning the lesson I'm afraid.

    A whopping 5p cheaper here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-Blake-Bravo-Bass-Guitar-Case-Brand-New/302703106416?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160908110712%26meid%3Df46408850aeb4f2b988c124278906ef5%26pid%3D100677%26rk%3D9%26rkt%3D20%26sd%3D292579991634%26itm%3D302703106416&_trksid=p2385738.c100677.m4598 Has offers available too so a sneaky £40 might be worth a shot.
