    I'm having a bit of a cull of my basses at the moment due to moving flat (and accepting that I don't 'NEEED' all I have), and within that I decided to set about essentially 'swapping' my Elrick Standard Evolution 5 for one of their NJS5 basses. The former was a wonderful bass, but I do definitely gravitate towards more 'trad' aesthetics. As such, my Evol 5 sold on here, and around the same time, the following arrived. It's a wonderfully stealthy looking NJS5 (New Jazz Standard 5). All Bartolini electronics (of course). Weighs in at about 9.2lbs, so a little heavier than my previous Elrick, but still fantastic for a 35" active Jazz 5: Lovely If you're after a 'super jazz', then these really should be on your radar!!

    That Moollon 🤤 Si

    If you have the means, just get a cheap shortscale and see if you have the same issues. If you do, perhaps it’s warm-up regime or perhaps it’s something else about playing position/general health. Si

    Probably quite a few I wager. For those despairing, go look up T-pain’s NPR concert. Just because someone uses a production tool for commercial purposes, doesn’t mean they needed it to get to that point. Si

    SOLD Relatively new to me, but I am mid-cull, and I have two other 5 strings. This will be withdrawn if my 55-01 sells first. Excellent condition Lakland Skyline DJ5, fitted with new La Bella RX Nickels. Weight is 9.2lbs Bass is totally stock and comes with a simple gig bag/cover. Or I can add a Fusion Urban bag (pretty heavy duty) for another £50. Happy to take more photos if needed. No trades unless you happen to have a Lakland Hollowbody shortscale (HB-30) you want to part-ex. Would prefer safe collection/meetup in Hemel Hempstead or High Wycombe areas. Can discuss postage at your expense & risk (I would then recommend the added Fusion gigbag). SOLD Cheers Si

    Bas bought my Elrick 5 string last night, very easy transaction, lovely guy, easy meet-up/payment etc. Thanks very much Si

    I think they’re relatively new aren’t they?! Not sure I’ve seen anyone on here post about buying one. Andrew is north London I think, and might have one you could try if you’re local?! Si

    I liked the tension of the LTF's, as I'm a big fan of the flexibility of La Bella tapewounds (which are probably mildly less tension than LTF's), but LTF's didn't feel right to me under my fingers, the guages were too thin for me, just felt a bit nothing'y. I'm a huge fan of the 760FL or FS flats, best flats on the market IMO, if you're ok with the tension (which are comparable to Chromes in my experience) Roto's I found to be waayyyyy too tight for me, eugh.

    I imagine he doubled his money (maybe a little less after paying Joe...whatever the deal is). But that's business, no less shallow than any other bass brand building a bass and then selling it at profit to fans of that brand. Si

    Wonderfully 'loved' OC-2 GLWTS Si

    It's very much reality, Vulf have a very tongue-in-cheek aesthetic, but incredibly loyal fans. It doesn't surprise me that Jack S covered production (basically just purchasing 50 basses at cost I imagine), then selling on at RRP. Clever guy, essentially acting as a dealer out to their fans. Si

    The more I look at it, the more I love it! Si

    Not the prettiest is it! But I think they sound pretty decent. Si

    Bublé has been quite open about his use of pitch correction, that it's a tool to get onto radio, to fulfil the tonal expectation of that platform and audience. I remember reading the article/interview in which he said the above, and went on to say that there were other trad/swing tracks on that album where it wasn't used, because they weren't expected to get commercial radio play. Welcome to the game. Si

    There's one for sale in the FS section right at the top, £275. Nothing to do with me..... go go go go @warwickhunt Si

    Excellent shout, would take that over the MB every day of the week! Si

    Depends on your definition of reasonably priced haha, but Markbass do theirs: https://mickleburgh.co.uk/product/markbass-jp-4-string-bass-modern-grey-pau-ferro-neck-chrome-hardware-bass-guitar/?gclid=CjwKCAjwv_iEBhASEiwARoemvPPKMKKFyW3jUykGuqW6BM0prlbfdSAgx0lHjO3KX9LarrQZMqYVOhoC_dcQAvD_BwE Si

    Met up with Stuart yesterday for him to purchase my fretless jazz. Lovelu guy, great comms, easy deal, thanks very much! Enjoy the bass! Si

    I think it looks ace, sounds ace, and Jack S is a clever guy! Totally exploiting JD's selling power haha. "Come at me!" Si

    SOLD Continuing my little 'got-to-move-flats' cull. Here is my Bass Collection Jive Fretless (fretless from factory). Gold colour (Shoreline?) with a matching headstock. The website doesn't give much of a spec past the marketing bumble, but relevant features I can ascertain are: Rosewood fretless board Omega 'bad-donkey' bridge Probably a basswood body, but not sure A1 condition apart from a slight factory imperfection by the bridge pickup rout (see photo), the paint has come away very slightly. Comes with a simple but pretty decent Bass Centre bag. It also has the neck pickup ashtray with it too. I swapped the knobs to standard Jazz style, because who wants barrel knobs on a Jazz bass. No weight handy, but it's not heavy at all, I'm going to make an educated guess at the late-8lbs range, will confirm asap. If you want to hear it on a recording, and you're on Spotify, check here: https://open.spotify.com/track/3t2KiDZo8KR4EvTPBWhA9a?si=6e3d367af1594a04 Also this: https://www.instagram.com/p/B7zSY2rHcct/ No trades thanks. Safe collection from Hemel Hempstead/High Wycombe areas would be preferable, as the bass only has a bag, wouldn't trust it with a courier, but we can talk about it at your expense/responsibility. Cheers Si SOLD

    La Bella supply a full document on their website which highlights all the lengths of their various strings. It’s HERE if interested. As Stingrays are thru-body, it might be that extra-long are needed, and if using flats, the player will need their special thru-body flats. Basically La Bella make everything that’s needed for almost every type of bass, the onus is on the player to buy the right strings. Si

    Ah that’s good about rosewood, although I wouldn’t really call it ‘custom’, they have the spec listed on the 55-02 Skyline page under ‘Deluxe’: Si
  25. Sibob
    That’s a shame. Lakland might be able to put you onto a dealer that has one?! Although guessing that might involve importing it. Si
