Fair play, and I did note what you said regarding yours🙂
-
Thanks for conformation. I did think that was the case as Sire seem to have followed the Stingray theme and I imagine most people considering these would be looking for similarities. In regard to 19mm with a MM pup Lakland 55-02's and Sandberg VM5's have that covered ( I've owned both) but way more expensive than Sires! TBH the QC issues shown in this thread is an unexpected disappointment! Gaucho

Thanks Buddy, however I forgot to mention it was a Z7 5'ver I was questioning. TBH from the images it looks to me very Stingray like at 17.5mm? Gaucho
-
Confused .com??? Seen both 17.5mm and 19mm string spacing quoted on this thread, definitive answer please? Gaucho

Hey Paddy, Very good question! The early Mk1 Barts are a bit different IMO: top end has more bite, a little zingy bur not shrill, mid is a touch clearer more defined, low end identical. However albeit I've had a few later non USA Mk1's they've been paired with East, Glock, Lakland and Bart pre amps. The Prose in it's current form has the Aguilar OB2 pre which is known for its pronounced highs, so maybe I'm not making a fair comparison? One observation I can make is I had a 6'er with USA Mk 1's and a Glock pre which was very similar in tone range. Gaucho -
Sod the shipping and tax I'll go £2... lol 😂 -
Thanks Paul, good to hear from you! Unfortunately shipping on man's best friend's meds etc has just taken a hike so I'll make a very last minor reduction😔 However that will be the last as the Bass is worth way more than what I'm asking. Gaucho

Hmmm, not sure, however virtually all the history of this Bass has been added to my post buddy! Can't believe I've still got it TBH! I missed this once before it became mine as there were a few people after it, and the same again when I bought her. Still while I'm covering the Vet bills and medication I'm glad she's still mine, however if somebody stumps up what I'm asking....we may part ways ☹️ Gaucho

A very well balanced 10lbs in old money, so no flyweight but doesn't feel heavy in any way!

Miles better than the price suggests, proper all-rounder! You can cover virtually everything with one of these! 😉 -
Roland Micro Cube Bass RX "As New"! £170
Gaucho 5 replied to Gaucho 5's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Hi Lee, Absolutely perfect for street gigs! Sorry about the price buddy, but it is literally brand new and Roland no longer make these! N/B the replacement model is not as good I'm reliably told. Regards Gaucho -
Me too had a Rumble long time back was sooo bad I never used it!
-
Hi Sam, Yours was one I almost bought! As you say a marvellous bit of kit.......but I didn't really need one after all lol!

Blimey even more history unfolds😄 As Dave mentioned the slab body/ back should have lightened it somewhat? I'll weight it later and post the result. Additionally the bridge has changed (USA Hipshot), the pre amp (Aguilar) and the neck albeit another Lakland 35' (JO5) with rosewood fingerboard. The original neck developed an issue (unusual for a Lakland) somewhere along the way and was replaced by another brand new one shipped in from the states. As mentioned if the 55-60 goes I'll be very happy to keep it, but needs must😪

Funny you should say that as albeit there are a multitude of tones this can produce the one that sticks out is the Gary Tibbs WAL sound, absolutely nails it IMO! Nothing to do with the shape though😁
