Wednesday morning bump Si -
Oh I don't care about someones opinion on a brand . If a bass feels and sounds great to its owner, its worth it. There's bound to be plenty of people who don't understand me hating Rickenbackers......but nor should that opinion have any effect on anyone else, if it does, that's their problem Si

ACGs are their own thing, no point comparing them. They're fantastic, and whilst you can order a similar spec, it won't feel or sound like a Fodera, which is a good thing. I should know, I own a 33" singlecut ACG lol Si

[quote name='thebassist' timestamp='1416336970' post='2609195'] What you ordering? [/quote] Matt Garrison Standard [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1416337459' post='2609198'] I have to say I agree - if that's a signature sound, it's pretty generic. On the other hand, the playing doesn't exactly showcase the sound - I played the first minute, then skipped to near the end - does he just keep doing the same thing all the way through? [/quote] To be fair, that's just Vic performing at a gear show, probably for a bunch of fawning bass players I imagine. He's the first person to state that it's just 'fireworks', and whilst it partly pays his bills, he's perfectly aware if what it is (or isn't) Si

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1416296750' post='2608700'] and suddenly your sale threads make sense! [/quote] Haha, exactly.......so plllleeeaaasseeee buy something Has to be said, when we were trying to sort it out, the guys at Fodera were replying to us on Saturday & Sunday, not many companies can say they do that Si

I think that was probably the Rainbow Machine (pink, crazy sounding thing).....not for sale I'm afraid Si

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1416190334' post='2607824'] Apparently, on more than one occasion someone had then gone away and sold all their basses to fund the purchase of the Fodera they had just played. [/quote] Dammit.......I'm stereotype Si

Thomastic flats Vs La Bella low tension flats
Sibob replied to Sibob's topic in Accessories and Misc
[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1415976860' post='2605792'] Si, if you're in Slough you are welcome for a cup of tea and a fiddle [/quote] An ideal evening in my books! Will try and sort something out over that way Cheers bud. The La Bella Low Tensions felt great on the Precision I had a quick play on, but as mentioned, the the TI's have more options for gauges. Cheers Si -
A nice Sunday night gift for someone? Si

Treat yourself to a pre-Christmas/Sunday present Si

Hey all, I have an Allpartd Fretless Precision neck which was sourced/modded by Bass Doc and is a joy to play. Maple with ebony fingerboard, lines which are slightly fading in places as they are painted, not wood slips. There is some wear from the round-wind strings, but nothing that effects playability in anyway, there's a reason I chose an ebony board, hard as nails . Re-profiled and finished (slight vintage tint) by Howard. It has a 60's era Fender Precision logo, and includes nut & string tree and reverse 'Kluson' style tuners, make unknown however working perfectly. Anyone looking to convert to a Precision necked fretless? This is an excellent place to start! As mentioned, there is some wear on the fingerboard from the round-wound strings, however it's barely noticeable when running your fingers over it, and certainly doesn't effect playability when strung. It actually looks worse in the photos because the light is catching it: SOLD Cheers Si -
I had a similar experience to a few people, thought they looked great, understood that they're boutique and high-end, but never played one that made me go "oh wow"............until last week. As someone else mentioned in the thread, I got surprised by a Fodera that I just didn't want to put down, it made me want to play more than I already did! That's the point where you go, "I'd actually pay this money for this bass"! Si
-
It does sir Si
-
I tuned C, F, Bb, Eb for years.....forget gauge, it's all about core size. I used Newtone 45-105 and got an action and tension similar to that of a standard tunes bass. Why? Because it was a larger core. Granted you can't then tune up to standard, but I was touring in that tuning, so wasn't necessary. Si
-
Still a whole bunch of pedals left! .......good stuff too, it isn't a 'all the popular stuff has gone first' deal here. Si
-
I haven't weighed it yet, I'm taking an educated guess in the early 9lbs range That said, the bass is currently sold pending payment. Cheers Si -
Well Phil & Jass this is the perfect bass for you guys Si
-
You definitely need this for the weekend Si

Get this for your weekend gigs Si

Hi guys, Interested in the opinion of guys who have specifically used both the new La Bella Low Tension flats as well as any flats in Thomastics range. I ask because I've historically never liked the tension of flats, but trying the La Bellas was a bit of a revelation. However their options in gauges are prohibitive, for those who have tried, how do Thomastics flats compare from a tension point of view? Many thanks Si
-
Good stuff, I've updated the database Si
-
You can string it through body or standard through bridge. Lots of interest so far.....which is great.....but feel free to spread it over the other basses I'm selling too Cheers Si

Hi guys, Here is my 2003 Fender USA Jazz bass, the first Fender I owned. It's been through a lot, is heavily gigged, and is the bass I took with me to Wooten Woods earlier this year. Yes it's been played in front of Victor Wooten, Steve Bailey, Felix Pastorius, Anthony Wellington etc Anyway, its a brilliant bass, however it does have plenty of wear, dings and chips etc. Obviously full pictures asap, but all the wear is honest play wear from a LOT of gigs and I believe the price is reflective of this. That said, it plays and sounds great. The biggest patch of wear is the lower bout on the rear. This is down to the wood and exposing the black paint that Fender paint around the edges of their basses to make the blacks.....well....blacker I guess. Hopefully the photo shoes this. This model has the graphite reinforcement rods in the neck, the S1 switch (actually useful on the Jazzes, not so much the Precisions). 60's spaced pickups. Fairly light (weight pending). The tort plate is a replacement official Fender, as the original was white and horrible, as such there is a couple of screw holes that don't have corresponding holes in the body. There is one screw missing from the scratch plate unfortunately, and a couple could do with replacing as looking a bit rusty/discoloured. It can be supplied with a basic gig-bag or a padded Ritter bag for an extra £10. As such, collection or meet up only on this in/near High Wycombe / Welwyn Garden City / London. No trades (Sorry about some of the orientations, TinyPic is working its wonders) Thanks Si

Haha, I hear you, I'm on a 4 out - 1 in trip It is a cool bass though, a LOT of bass for the money. Cheers Si -
Hey bud, I do come into London a little bit, however no trades thank-you (updated the post now) Cheers Si
