    Mine was a Yamaha RBX170. Then an Ibanez 1979 Roadster, then straight to a 10 custom bass (Binky!) Bit of a jump but worth it! +1 for a Yamaha as a 1st bass. 👍😁

    I'm sure it'll wipe off if there is. Oh wait, you said 'hum'...

    If you can find one, get a Mesa Boogie Strategy Eight:88. I've owned a Marshall VBA400, and an Orange AD200B, both great. Played through an Aguilar DB751 a few times too, again very good. But the Mesa is by far and away the best valve amp, in fact the best amp period, I have ever used. It's magical. (I do know someone selling an AD200B though, let me know if you want a price).

    More deals... Tony sent me a Noguera 8, I sent him an Aries Bajadera. Same old same old, another faultless deal! I think this is deal number 64,433,675... all have been super easy! I wonder what our next trade will be as there will surely be more!! Russ

    The ones you sold me Tony!

    I've owned the 6 string version of both of those basses (several times in fact!) and as much as both basses are very good, the Cort is absolutely the better machine. In my humble opinion of course!

    He went with the advice I didn't give! Those Cort basses as exceptionally good things!

    In defence of the basses it was a very wide angle shot to get all of them in one photo which has stretched and skewed them a little. They are all very well proportioned in reality! There's no getting around the fact they have wider bodies than a 4 string, but the below 'non-skewed' photos should show them in a true light.

    A bítch fiddle you mean? 😂
  10. binky_bass
    Good choice, but you should have gone for 6 strings at least!

    @therealting This has already been mine! I bought it from someone that had de-fretted it and quite poorly covered the fretboard in epoxy, I had Mike Walsh of Zoot Basses re-fret it for me and sort out the electronics. Lovely bass, I'm just not overly keen on Warrior basses! Traded it to @Hellzero a year or two ago, I can't even remember for what! 😂

    Cheap for a UK made Simms bass... trying to see what the catch is! Lol. Definitely UK made?

    BayBee is still with me! Happily living life with it's (much) bigger brother!

    @triplebass, Stuart has just pipped you to the post... should he change his mind, you're next in line sir.

    It's voice activated, you just tell the pickups how you want it intonated and the saddles automatically move. The saddles have an allen key 'lock', you release it and you can slide the saddle up and down up to about 2.5cm. The saddles themselves are like the seat in a photo booth, you spin them round to raise/lower. All very easy and clever!

    Yup. 20mm from centre point of string to centre point of string. Oddly, it really feels 'closer' than my 6 string 20mm Streamer SII.

    @StuartB Responded sir.

    Hi all, So @Hellzero decided he wanted to rid himself of one of his basses, I gladly offered my Bass Rehoming Service and have now taken receipt of this 8 string beast. It's a beautiful bass, the matching headstock cap, fretboard and body top make for a beautiful, simplistic finish. The neck is surprisingly thin and fast with a low action now suited to my preference for tapping. The custom preamp is bright and crisp with good mids for a clear balanced tone across all frequencies. The bridge is a great piece of engineering, simple to use, easy to adjust and aesthetically pleasing. I have since changed the knobs to matching ebony woods knobs that compliment the wooden pickup covers, to my eye it looks bolder and suits the bass better. Playability it much easier than you might think even with a 20mm spacing and 8 strings! All in, it's a beautiful thing!

    Hi all, Recently bought this as a project, I had thought when I bought it that it that the frets hadn't been filled thus making for an easy first attempt at fretting a bass, but, the frets are filled! They've been nicely and smoothly filled with wood glue and ebony dust so the lines are visible but not overstated. The body obviously has been treated with home homemade 'relic' treatment. It doesn't have any real dings or dents and the wood underneath looks like it has some nice figuring, Ash perhaps? The scratch plate is aftermarket, it fits but it's the most exact of fits. The neck is lovely, really nice almost birdseye figuring to the maple, almost. It works fine, plays nicely and has a well used look! If you want a beater upper then this is for you, if you want to re-finish the body then you'll have a great fretless. I'm after £100 for it, and can post (neck off in bubble wrap) for £12. (Not insured though). Collection under social distancing is fine too.

    Reckon I could get 3 more basses on the sofa at a push...

    Saul Goodman, his feedback looks legit. If I was in the market for a crusty old Squier I'd bid, lucky for you I'm not! 😁
  24. binky_bass
    Realistically, it's all a bit pointless and over engineered! I'm guessing 99% of bassists on 99% of recordings don't have it and I doubt many of us have listened and thought "if only it had a Buzz Feiten tuning system..." I don't know who Buzz is, but I don't like him.

    I assume you'll accept a Squier P-Bass if I scratch off 'Squier' and write 'Fbass BN6' on the headstock? Yes? Excellent!
