That’s it - cheers

Bought the Planet Waved years ago and it fits a barrel Jack lovely but this is on the blink. Would love to get a new one but where? anyone know name of these with the extra connections pics below can’t remember where I bought it so lifetime warranty gone. And D’addario seem to own PW now ta

Yeah any of my basses have gone mostly for financial reasons - the fact that the energy companies have been siphoning my records and bass gear money hasnt helped - i. think this bass needs a full set up - more cash spent on it making it not a cheap buy but rehearsed with it last night and sits in the mix really nice and was even with high action really good to play

Ah that’s worrisome- I think the strings are too high and the pickups too low - had to order a Allen key as none of mine fit the babicz but loving the lightweight ness and fits in the band sound nicely

Had a bit of a bonus so treated myself to an import from US of Gibson EB14 - i wanted a different vibe from a PB and this looks like their version of a Musicman Sabre bass but passive First impressions needs a set up but came with TI flats so saved some cash there - slight crackle from the jack - so will take off the scratchplate later in week, night just need a blast of air. The neck - satin back on maple which feels great with slab of rosewood - needs oiling and truss rod needs a quarter turn i'd say. Great bridge, bass is very resonant. String spacing of 20mm which for my sausage fingers is great (my fave bass Starfire 1 thats the only downside slim string spacing) action is higher than i like it so will get puzzling bridge out this week as intonation is out about 5% at octave. Finish is lovely satin nitro and it's really light I'm guessing 7lbsish. The only thing which is concerning at mo is that there's a really pronounced drop off in volume between fully open then from 80% down - the pickup height looks a bit too low for me. The humbuckers are fairly thumpy - the neck is muddy some but with coil tap there's a real good usable selection of tones for what i do. Anyone else had such drop off? I am only using it at in house- not annoy the neighbours levels at mo, till tonight. In time for rehearsals tonight - so can road test it

I like Ken;s videos you can tell he's passionate about his company and i like that the tech's sign off each guitar - this is why i went on the road trip to have a go for myself

What the necks like on these? The main thing for me is a nice neck - then sound - as I find you play better and that improves your sound if you feel “at one” with the bass

Thanks for the tip - I’ve just bought a Fazley Outlaw Peacemaker in green which boasts an oiled body - rolled edge, roasted neck for £161! So mod platform inbound https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/electric-bass-guitars/fazley-outlaw-series-peacemaker-plus-red-electric-bass-guitar-with-gig-bag

There may have been there was about 30 basses there and as I got sidetracked by others but yeah not for me

So I woke up early and thought why don’t I make a 400 mile round trip up to Glasgow to go see the Reverend bass collection at Merchant City Music - I may have a problem - I’m selling most of my basses but keep seeing the buzz and Reverend - and had day free so hey. Anyway tried the Decision P which was ok - neck was alright but i can’t get over the extra offsetness of the bodies. Next I tried the Triad and it had 2 really really nice pickup options out of the 5 - the bridge pick up was thin but the neck and middle together was great. But the aesthetics are not for me. Whilst I was there, the staff were attentive but also let you get in with it. So I tried some more options- JMJ Mustang - yep good 👍 Nate Mendel P - awful set up and just wasn’t feeling it - FGN Jazz - didn’t note model about about £600 - very great playing neck - sounds good but not for me - then the Gold Foil Fender Jazz - WTF is going on with MIM Fender? The neck felt awful- £1300 to feel fret edges under binding - it just felt not worth it. Then at more than 6 times cheaper the SX P £200 - great neck - the pups had less output - but some good pickups and maybe bridge upgrade/ tuners could be a really useful back up. I stupidly didn’t have a go of the anniversary 4005 Ric- can’t afford it anyway. Had quick drive round the city then drive home £60 petrol and no bass bought but tempted to get an SX and upgrade it
