Have some Optima RB Flats on my 72 Jazz, Pretty well suited to your above sound you're looking for. Not everyone's cup of tea & not suited to all musical adventures IMO
-
This was mine for a few months! Very eye-catching on most stages haha! Bought it from Bass Bro's earlier in the year just for a laugh (plus the LED's) a great little stingray in general and an artist I was on tour with specifically requested I use I use it in the choreography of his show (turning the lights on etc) It was custom painted & the LED's fitted by Sims for a guitar show years ago.

I have just opened up some new slots for private lessons September 2025 & have relocated to Gwent - South East Wales Online or face to face in my studio in South East Wales. As a music educator I have amassed years of experience teaching privately and publicly, achieved the highest qualifications in my field DipRSL (Diploma In Music Teaching) and the LRSL (Licentiate In Music Teaching). I confidently deliver lessons on various musical subjects from beginner to highly advanced levels. My lessons are structured and planned for each individual student based on their level, ambitions & goals. May it be graded exams or professional musicians wishing to enhance their knowledge. I strive to maintain lessons as informative as possible while making them thoroughly enjoyable for each and every student. I have an enhanced DBS check (Formerly the CRB check) and attend safeguarding courses throughout the year. I provide private tuition for the following. Bass Guitar Bass Synth (playing & synthesis) Music Theory General Musicianship Diploma, Degree (performance & teaching) Mentorship also. All of my private lessons take place in my home studio in South East Wales or via online video utilising all manner of resources, technology & knowledge to provide the best private lessons possible.

I can remember drooling over these on the Fender site in my youth! Did a great trade/cash with Will at Bass Bro's. Set up perfectly and such a great looking and classic sounding bass. Low B is clear too and sound just like a good P bass should too! Giving it it's first run out tonight at a dep gig too!

Love/Hate here too for it. Bought a Pelham Blue one recently. It's definitely not a solid body and does have a unique sound to it too. 34 inch is pretty cool also. Kept rounds of mine to help it cut through (it didn't need to) Very bright to my ears with everything turned up but just a bit uncomfortable to play personally. Just not for me. No issue of feedback here though unlike some but try one out, you never know util you try
-
Only ever lent a bass to someone I didn't personally know once. All the kit was stolen sadly & the management team called me up looking for a bass for a funk band playing in Cardiff (found out it was AWB when the manager dropped their name very casually on the phone) Gave me £20 a free ticket (sadly I couldn't go) and a signed album

Can anyone help identify the strings that the Acinonyx bass is shipped with? I believe them to be D’Addario Nickel Round Strings but not sure of the actual ones
-
Think you're right. The Nordstrand site says 'D'Addario Nickel Round Strings' in the specs: https://nordstrandaudio.com/products/acinonyx-short-scale-bass
