  1. Brilliant, we've Basschatted the thread 👍
  2. He's an addict, he gets his kicks this way as well as some income. There are people who pretty much rewrite other people's books and sell them on Amazon. They don't do it for the money, they do it because the curious form of status they believe it brings makes them feel good, or at least makes them feel their version of good. This guy's gonna keep on going, he's like gambler or a stalker, the normal rules that apply to people like us just don't apply to his psyche, and there's enough people in hyperspace who don't know his background or who don't care to keep making him feel good
  3. Nick what is the slap tone like and how does the slap plate help (or hinder), I'm doing Graceland next year and there's a very big part of me that thinks that bass might be a rather interesting weapon for the gig?
  4. I was initially fooled into thinking it was the work of a small-scale/bespoke luthier but realised who (I think) it is when I saw the pics which immediately conjured other instruments built by the same (I think) maker. Either way, should be ashamed of letting that out in to the wild
  5. I'm pretty sure he and I are thinking the same, it's why the headstock was out of the pics
  6. Can't imagine you could damage the down-firing speaker by using it flush with a gramma but best ask @agedhorse
  7. All joking aside I’m really not sure how a gramma makes is better for the neighbours, just use EQ and volume?
  8. Well all I can say is be glad you didn’t opt fir the Drophead 😆
  9. A photo taken directly in line would be helpful 👍
  10. Nice looking bass, what’s the circuitry?
  11. Others would disagree on all of those points 👍
  12. f***ing clever marketing strategy, they keep releasing the same two basses, we keep buying them 👍
  13. And you were so close as well, had you replied just 18-years sooner you might have nabbed it 👍
  14. ….which is exactly what I thought when I read the first post. I think the reality is other bass players might currently be committing money to a luthier who might be about to go Full Letts….
  15. Used but 9/10 condition Allparts Jazz neck that came attached to a bass that's since had a different neck installed, Jazz necks not really being my thing despite the fact that this one is VERY pretty! Previous owner applied a Fender logo. Couple of small dinks in the headstock, a slight but not functionally significant chip in the nut, and a slightly messy screw hole at the heel (all photo'd), but nothing to write home about and otherwise a rather nice neck that retails around £450 without nut or tuners. I rate Allparts necks as the same league in quality and playability as good US Fenders - not quite as good as the FCS standard of Warmoth, but significantly better than for example MIM and Mighty Mite. No idea re the tuners BTW, they do the job but I doubt they're Gotoh/Hipshot/Schaller level. Price includes insured UK courier
  16. Thanks Andy, much appreciated 👍
