    I love it. I use IEMs and have broadly the full band sound so I enjoy listening as much as playing! Flats on the Cat - as much for the feel as anything else.

    As you liked it here's another from the same gig. It's much better sound than the usual phone videos because we record every gig on multitrack on the stage box.
  3. Bernardo
    Very kind - yes you are right.

    I went for the Dunlop and after a few gigs they are worn in and the Vox is now my go to bass. Had a gig on Saturday and it was the first time I've felt totally comfortable with the whole package. This £350 purchase is currently my number 1 bass above my JMJ, Cat and American Precision and Sandberg SL. Who would have thought it? This was Saturday -

    I have started playing short scales recently - starting with a little Gretsch expanding since then into a U5, JMJ Mustang and an Acinonyx. Shallow I know but I Googled short scale red bass because for showbiz reasons I needed a red bass to match some stage outfits! What came top of the list was a refurbished Vox Starstream Artist 2S on the Vox website. Including gig bag it was £350. Given they were well north of a grand when they came out - and some people had paid that - I went for it. I took it to a gig and our sound engineer raved about it compared with my other basses. Ironically I don't enjoy playing it as much as the Mustang and the Acinonyx basically because they have flats on them which feel better to me - so my next quest is to find flats that sound brighter than a normal flat. It's a weird looking thing and not everybody's cup of tea but it's nicely balanced and very light and with the right strings could be my go to bass - something I never would have predicted when I Googled red short scale.

    I have very few things cheaper or an equivalent price to the Danelectro - I have a Sire V7 Jazz style bass which I have played about half a dozen times, a TC Electronic Spectra Drive and a TU tuner currently fitted into a Boss BC Box and an Aguilar Octamizer. Of greater value I have a Vintera 50s Precision in Vintage Blonde and a red Spector Legend 5 Classic. And a ridiculously higher value Sandberg California TM4 Super Light in Redburst. All probably no good for you! .

    What are you interested in by way of trades?
  10. Bernardo
    I'm humming and aahing about the colour. I had my mind set on the Lake Pacific Blue.

    Bought a Sire U5 from Andy - great fellow to deal with and bass exactly as described.
  12. Bernardo
    Easy transaction - top man.

    I'm interested in these- looking for something super lightweight as I enter the creaking age. Any good?

    She's a pretty little thing. Seafoam Green or whatever the equivalent Dano colour is. In pretty good nick - couple of marks and blemishes which I've shown on the picture. I guess you either want one or you don't. It's long scale which, if you've played one you'll know and never forget, means very long. I just haven't got on with it. I was going to stick it on a wall but that's really a fate no bass guitar deserves. It should be played. Bought 2nd hand pre-lockdown and I have used it for one rehearsal since then and minimal playing at home. It's strung with flats which is nice. No case so collection only - or meet up somewhere appropriate. I'm based in Cookridge in Leeds.
