Now you're just being a nob.

I have a couple of Bugera cabs, a 1x15 and a 2x10. For the price they are excellent, not exactly lightweight but they do have integrated wheels. Unfortunatley I have to sell the 15 as it won't fit in my new car!

I have 19, there's at least 4 I would happily sell but wouldn't get much for them so not really motivated to bother. I do enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling I get when I walk in my music room, that feeling is very difficult to put a price on.

Definitely not!

The guitarist from the folk ensemble I play in has a band called The '41 Fords - last night was their first gig and was most entertaining. They are a 3-piece, guitar/vocals, drums/vocals and an upright bass doing 80s and 90s covers in a kind of punk/skiffle hybrid style.

I was surprised by the reverb on the videos as it wasn't so obvious in the room, maybe to do with the frequencies the camera picks up? The true sound was deeper with less top end. Someone else must want to try this out? I have 3 days off this week and am happy to meet up somewhere within an hour or so drive. Or do we send it back to Tim to continue the love affair?!

Videos uploaded - I seem to be coming down with a cold so am playing a bit wooden today. Played through a Hartke HA3500 and a couple of Behringer Bugera cabs. I didn't adjust the settings at all between bass guitars. First up the Infinga, then my upgraded Jazz-a-like, then a bit more Infinga as I had forgotten to record any of my clunky slap style. This is the first time I have ever recorded myself - an interesting experience!

I did think about it, I have another from the same place entered at the moment.

No problem @Marcoelwray you are welcome to use the photo. I enjoyed trying it out today - the neck profile was fine for me, although as already mentioned the frets are a little sharp. Otherwise it was very comfortable to play. The sound was good, tight and punchy with plenty of gain. Pickups are pretty hot, on a par with the active EMG setup in the Jazz. Switching between the pickups gave a good range of voicing with a bit of extra variety in the bridge options - although the difference between single/series/parallel wasn't as big as others I have played. This did help with the balance between the 2 pickups. Videos are still uploading (our Internet connection is terrible) Who wants it next?!

I showed it some interesting local sights, have recorded a couple of short videos including a comparison with my Allen Eden Jazz. They will follow in a couple of hours once they are uploaded to Youtube.

Now I don't like to be negative but that really didn't sell the bass to me at all.

I was just about to say exactly this - grease on strings is a terrible idea.

Model number is usually on the headstock, looks more like a TRBX with that headstock shape.

I'm sure I've seen people put tape over the poles to stop the click.

If it's not the exact bass in that photo then it sure as hell is similar! Good info.

It has two serial numbers!

@Christine on this forum, she isn't quite in the South West but her builds look exceptional.

That's a rare one in the OP - unusual to see one with twin Barts. I struggled to get £140 for my Luthite one a while back which was in fantastic condition, ended up swapping it for an SGC Nanyo project.

I have 19 bass guitars, they all sound different.

If the split shaft is already bent then it may have been weakened enough to break - I have bitter experiences to confirm. Packing out the socket of the knob with foil works as an alternative

I heard Cake - Short Skirt Long Jacket on 6Music yesterday @Frank Blank I am guessing that was Gabe Nelson on there? It sounded fantastic

Double post! New Boots and Panties deserves a mention too.

Some great suggestions in here, Wimbish era Living Colour is worth a listen too. I've always liked the bass in Fishbone, especially the later stuff.

It'll be fine - the dog accepted it into the house instantly which never usually happens. The usual routine is bark at the case for a minute, then again at the bass when you take it out. Half an hour of refusing to be in the same room comes next, followed by creeping up and timidly sniffing it. Once that hurdle is passed he will only look scared if you play it, until he's had a sleep! Initial impressions are that it's fairly light and well-balanced - the deep neck profile is interesting but not uncomfortable in the short term, although a longer session may be different. I found the shape of the 'reverse horns' (the cutout section by the bridge) uncomfortable against my right thigh when seated, as I like to rest the body on my left leg. I would prefer a softer curve without protrusions in that area. I assume this is a prototype? You are probably more aware of the faults in the finish than I am but it's certainly not bad, and were it to be painted would look great, but bare wood leaves you nowhere to hide! It's plenty well enough finished to gig with however. I haven’t plugged it in yet as I only have a cheap practice amp here and I don't want to spoil my first impression of the tone. It does feel like there's a better setup to be had but is nicely playable and probably better suited to more styles as it is. It was perfectly in tune straight out of the case, so the construction is good. I'll report back once I've properly heard it

I met up with Richard earlier and now have the bass here on the farm in deepest Wiltshire. Thanks @Grangur it was good to meet you for some real life bass chat! If it's OK I will hang on to it until the weekend when I can get to the studio my big amplifier is currently occupying so I can properly move some air with it! It's with friends...
