So wait, while I understand you got a refund......you're not gonna buy it again? Feels like it belongs with you haha Si
-
Direct from Modern Vintage, as they only had 1 Shell Pink in stock. Perhaps more in the Autumn apparently. Si
-
Yeah, and I think they may well pick up some business from Moollon, as the latter (as amazing as they are, I'm lucky to have one) have been hit by pandemic delays and waits on new builds are sitting at 1-2 years I think. Si
-
Basically, any bass with flats! Si
-
MVP4 in Shell Pink 🥰 Si
-
This is the straight 44-64, so it's 60's spec at 1.75″ (now added to the original post for clarity) The '44-64 Custom' is the 1.6" I think Si -
Ah, even better idea, I'd be more than ok having it on a block, I don't use many in a preset haha. Cheers Si
-
Yeah makes sense. Would be great if they could have that as an option though, changing the global footswitch setting per preset. Would allow me to set up different settings/patches/scenes (whatever you want to call them) for different bands properly, some I want the tuner on a footswitch, some I have the tuner separately and use all the FS's for effects. Almost certainly just a firmware update, but I can work around it as suggested Cheers Si

Very exciting! I also have one on the way, fingers crossed it will arrive with me this week! I think it's probably time that we move away from this 'far eastern = cheaply built" mindset. Sure that's true in some cases, but these are highly spec'd, low-order-quantity basses, they're not building hundreds at a time, far from it I believe. They're designed by Rob Elrick I think, and so John Files (of Sonata Marketing) and Rob are not going to settle for any old cheap factory knocking them out! Si

Not sure about this, but have something on the way, and should probably stick to the numbers I have at the moment haha. Plus my passive US 44-94 basically does the same job. Lakland USA 44-64 Classic in a Black/Black/Maple vibe. Also comes with white and grey tortoiseshell pickguards options. In excellent condition, no nicks or bumps that I can see. Currently setup and playing beautifully with La Bella RX Steels 45-105 Comes with the original Lakland Hardcase. Full spec - https://www.lakland.com/product/classic-series-44-64/ Nut width is: 1.75″ Weight is: 3.86kg Priced to sell at £1700 £1650 Cash is king - However I could be open to part-ex's of a lesser value, around £700 or less, with cash my way of course. Some ideas might be: - Lakland Skyline 44-64, 44-60 or DJ4 (not sunburst or maple f/b, or too heavy) - Lakland Hollowbody 30 (the little shortscale one) - Lakland 55-01 in Vintage Creme/Rosewood - Lakland J-Sonic 5 in Aztec Gold - Huntington Supro Shortscale (not sunburst) - Nordstrand Acinonyx - Ibanez TMB35 (the shorty 5 string) - Fender Classic 50's (MIM) Lacquer Precision in Blonde - Fender Japan Precision of some description (not sunburst) - I mean.....try me with any Precisions to be honest. - Maybe something from a Yamaha BB series....maybe - G&L (nothing blue) - Musicman Stingray 4 string (although I appreciate this might need to stretch my £700 cap slightly) Cheers Si
-
All good, cheers. Yeah I’ve got an external FS, so will just do it that way! Cheers Si
-
I think the answer is no, but with the HX Stomp, anyone know if it’s possible to have one patch with the 3rd footswitch as an effect switch, then switch to another patch where the 3rd footswitch changes to the tuner? Cheers Si

SOLD I have a spare set of Bart MK-1 soapbars and the MK-1 3band Preamp, these came from a Lakland 55-01 when it was upgraded. £60 for everything including shipping. These are for a 5 string bass. Please note that I do not have a wiring diagram, so whilst 90% of it is pre-wired, I had to cut some grounds and obviously disconnect the pickups from the Pre. So you'll either need some decent electronics knowledge to know what goes where, find a wiring diagram for yourself (Bartolini might be able to help), or take to a tech obviously. Everything is included, pickups, preamp, pots, input jack etc. Can take more photos if you like, but not much to see. The pickups are in good condition, some finger marks as you'd expect. Everything in working order (ie was working perfectly when before they exited the bass) Cheers Si -
First gig back tomorrow! Pretty low pressure, but still.....from someone who used to gig, at the minimum, once a week....I'm a bit anxious haha. Excited too though!

@LukeFRC This will be my Elrick NJS5 on it's first outing! Excited for that!
-
Slightly off-topic, but how do you find the Talman shortie 5? Si
-
I'm not sure I'm afraid, I don't want to continue asking him about it tbh, when he's ready, he's ready I think. I still see him posting frequently on his personal Facebook, so I imagine all is as well as it can be. Cheers Si

Echoing what has been said, my direct experience of bitsa's is that, if you ever sell it, you'll get back way less than you spent on it. Parting it out will reduce that deficit usually, assuming you bought the parts second-hand. Si
-
Hi, what’s the weight please? Si -
Popping this in Effects, as you'll likely get more hits Si
-
11 hole white pickguard, not in the best condition, but perfectly fine and would clean up. Couple or quid on PayPal for postage and free to a good home Si
-
Bitsa Precision. Quality parts. Shoreline Gold. SOLD

I'll knock off £30 if you don't want the strings (ie you buy it unstrung) Si -
Although added a heap of weight haha. Look great though! Si
-
Tough choice there! Maybe split the difference and go for a G&L SB-2, best of both worlds! Si
-
PM'd lol

Argh, are you UK based? Si
