    If you’ll post I’ll take it (I’ll cover courier costs)?

    You’re asking me 😀

    I was thinking about you when I wrote the above post mate because I nearly wrote "There's very few of Flea's tones that you can't coax out of this", does everything from BSSM to the more mellow Jazz/flats tones of some of his more recent stuff. If I played fretted to any degree I'd keep it like this as the different PUP types and configurations are far more noticeable on a fretted with rounds than as a fretless with flats (funny thing about my frteless playing is that whichever bass I play - and when it comes to fretless I've had Precision, Jazz, 'Ray, Wal, Rick, Status, Sadowsky, and Warmoth, and they all sound like me rather than I sound like them......) Buy a lottery ticket mate, I'd love this (fretted version) to go to you 👍

    Temporarily sporting a Badass, a J-Retro and a very very fast MIJ 70's RI neck, in every possible way a Super Jazz (and Precision and 'Ray). There's very few bass tones that can't be squeezed out of this thing one way of another

    Had the bridge off today to install a Badass, this is how screw holes should be drilled. I mean everything about Sims work is outstanding, but these are a work of art (should probably have cleaned the area under the bridge before I took the photos but you get the general idea I'm sure 👍

    To my ear the ultimate SuperJazz: Enfield Super Quads, Badass II, J-Retro, MIJ 70's RI neck The engine room of a pretty awesome range of tones......

    110% the best advice 👍

    If it's ply as he says could he have done more than just flip the aesthetics?

    These are outstanding instruments and worth way more than the asking price here (something that all too often happens with newish Yamahas, but which shouldn't). I get the sense that with this range it all came together at Yamaha, everything before led up to it, and everything after, no matter how good, is slightly in its shadow. In the same way that the 80's BB series and the 90 TRBs are considered true classics today, so will this be, although I'm convinced it's the best of the bunch. Buy this and you're going to be one happy bass player 👍

    That bass reminds me of that classic interview summary "The candidate appeared to hit rock bottom but just kept digging anyway". The guy with the sandpaper must have thought "Mmm, not sure this is going well....". But flip me, he kept on sanding didn't he

    Well I sincerely hope that it's not stolen, and it's nice to think someone other than a dealer got a real bargain. Had it been pre-lockdown I'd have bought it, but my dopaminergic lust for rare and beautiful gear has been tempered of late and life is somewhat easier as the result! More objectively, I doubt the owner of that business is daft, they sell a lot of expensive gear, so I suspect it's either a ringer or there's an issue, which could be anything from mechanical to legal I'd guess. I suspect either way it'll be for sale somewhere at a significant mark up very soon. And if so, I wonder if the seller will use that classic "Selling my trusty old Ric, been with me since 1978" line 🤔

    Hard to say Pete, sometimes these things are actually what they seem, a seller who doesn't know the value of something but needs cash, and a bloody lucky buyer. Sometimes they're not of course 🤔
  14. Beedster
    Saw it and thoght I’d post here but too slow 😕

    Crikey, that's a decent drummist 👍
  17. Beedster
    Might be a glitch in my laptop of course
  18. Beedster
    Sadly no, I'm hearing distinct and quite punchy percussive elements in some of the upper register notes, for example at 36-39 seconds in? I'm playing through MacBook speakers so not the best, but then other people will probably use similar
  19. Beedster
    Nah, it's Garth
  20. Beedster
    And as we all know, those very words in 99% of cases lead directly to the purchase of the item in question 🤔

    Outstanding playing, very well done. Sorry to say however that I'm 100% with @JakeBrownBass, the tone - at least on my computer - detracts significantly from the performance, I find it distorted in an unmusical way, with what appear to be recording artefacts in some of the upper register notes. I'll listen with headphones later, but even if it's better in that medium - and reflecting the comment from @lowdown above that if listened to on monitors I might hear it very differently - to my mind if you want people to listen to and share your work, it's important to get the recorded tone to work across devices if you can. But hey, it's not all bad, I'd kill to have the patience and skill to learn and perform those pieces. I had to play one of the suites for Grade V on a 'cello and it was a several hours per day task to learn, and even then I needed the sheet music in front of me 👍

    In response to a couple of questions here's some infor re the PUPs. Essentially you are able to use any combination of Jazz, Precision, and MM PUPs (well, any combination of those three variants in either front or back position). It is a VERY versatile instrument https://www.sims.guitars/pickups/super-quad

    There's a lot of it around at the moment, the universe told me to buy some stuff last week, and when the universe talks to you, best you listen 👍
