  1. [quote name='Aero71' timestamp='1502701131' post='3352897'] Why is this still here? This is a bargain [/quote] One presumes everyone is skint. Had nibbles but nothing I'd put on hold for.
  2. [quote name='concertoni2' timestamp='1502367747' post='3350966'] weight? [/quote] 9lbs
  3. Money talks.
  4. I know it's a bit more, but i'd be getting one of these: http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/LW_VL5_FR_Amb.html
  5. I've had 4 EBMMs, all 2nd hand and still great.
  6. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1501667855' post='3346348'] Ibanez ATK series get a lot of love and are supposed to be very MM like [/quote] I have an ATK, it's more of a Stingray. In fact it does a better job of the SR tone than my Bongos do (pickup position the reason).
  7. I rarely run mine on full volume. My usual preference is bass/treb in the middle and scoop the low mids and boost the high.
  8. [quote name='Bolo' timestamp='1501368562' post='3344343'] Double humbucker, maybe a spector legend? [/quote] Not even close.
  9. I have a 4HH, it's brilliant. A 2004 model in graphite pearl, the best sounding and playing 4 string i've ever had. Only reason it's not my No. 1 bass is the 5 string HS I have, but doesn't quite play as effortlessly as the 4. That aside, what else can do a Bongo ? Nothing really, the 4 band EQ I see as the crucial part of it's flexibility. A bass that's as versatile but sounds nothing like it would be a G&L L2000 or M2000.
  10. [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1501164852' post='3342994'] More basses for sale within a forum. [/quote] Then no. BC has been here over 10 years and established the largest and most diverse independent marketplace in the UK, if not Europe.
  11. [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1499184677' post='3329800'] Bloody hell !! Your timing's terrible I'm stuck in "no basses for the rest of my life" mode. Always fancied the DX model ever since machine's review on here. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/9244-vintage-v1004dx/"]http://basschat.co.u...intage-v1004dx/[/url] Sold my spalted maple 4 string last year and it's 5 string cousin went in May. Cracking basses, Vintage set their sights high when they released these. GLWS [/quote] Good review that.
  12. I haven't bought a CD in over 6 years and all the ones I had I threw away. Spotify is my only collection now and I can use it anywhere. My car doesn't even have a CD player, I just stream via Bluetooth.
  13. My 5HS is modified with a scallop after 24th fret to end of the board. This has helped a lot.
  14. I played a Stingray in a shop where the EQ wasn't working but it sounded great flat. Then I checked and there was no battery - so it CAN can work without.
  15. I've got Jaco Pastorius's 1984 Musicman Bongo for sale, PM me for good price very much.
  16. Lakland prices have gone up nearly 50% in the last few years on GuitarGuitar. I wonder if this more recent change could be to blame Now at £1450 for a 44-02, I remember them being £1250 a few weeks ago and under £1k a couple of years back.
  17. [quote name='only4' timestamp='1495966975' post='3307778'] Just wondered as I received a bass from them a few years ago and was quite disappointed with the overall cleanliness and condition compared to how it had been portrayed in the blurb. I guess that's the risk when you buy without trying first! [/quote] Basically. I think they wipe down and make every instrument playable but a full setup and clean ? Haha no.
  18. [quote name='only4' timestamp='1495963878' post='3307749'] Looks lovely, just out of interest did the BassDirect advert say that the bass was fully cleaned and setup with new strings? [/quote] Setup yes strings no. They were utter crap. Setup is personal anyway but only needed a truss rod tweak for me.
