I don't. I have a 33" that sounds great. It's more about construction and the string. All of my 34" are fine too. I'd look for a second hand Ibanez SR or BTB. There are a ton of them out there in various finishes and even some PU configs beyond Barts and Nordy soapbars like my SR655 if you want a PJ.

A faithful replica of the Gibson lo-z bass humbucker
crazycloud replied to Basvarken's topic in Bass Guitars
I'm not knocking the price as I understand the costs involved having designed and built transformers before (priced G.O.S.S. steel lately, and minimum order quantities?), I'm just not able to spend that much on 2 of them. Hope you sell enough on your basses and as free units to make it a worthwhile project for you. -

I was interested for a bit, even though they're an odd shape, but not at 300 Euro ea. -

The EE nerd in me wants to know, what does low impedance actually mean in this case? Congrats on finding success with the cloning. I have really enjoyed the builds you do that I've seen over the years. -
Strap pin's too far down the neck. Looks like a diver to me.

What a horrible YT channel. I really haven't seen any QC issues of note with the Cort at least, and I'd be surprised if there were substantive issues based upon my 2 recent Artisan series basses (which are superb).

NBD - Fender Japan Traditional Collection 2025 Precision Pearl White
crazycloud replied to Delberthot's topic in Bass Guitars
That is nice looking. Congrats. Now go play the bollocks out of it. -
I had a Musician years ago. Very nice bass, but I can't recall why I sold it. The young fella who bought it was thrilled though.
-
That M6-5 in black swirl will be very tempting.
-
The 200 is a dual coil more like an MM, not the triple coil of the originals.

Just realised I haven't posted this here. My recently acquired SRMS806. Apart from the mildest buckle rash on the rear, there's not a mark on it and according to the seller it was a studio case queen. I was looking for the DTW finish, but this came up at the right price and time, and now I have it in my hands, I've grown to love it, same with the MS. It'll look really good with the GVB36 when it gets here.
-
That is a very sexy bass. I'd love one of them myself, but until one comes up here really cheap, my blue 5 string Ibby will have to be my 375.

NBD: Cort GB5 Modern - A black Friday bargain!!
crazycloud replied to carlsim's topic in Bass Guitars
Wicked deal. -
I think I went a bit overkill on the mods!
crazycloud replied to FlyStraight99's topic in Bass Guitars
That was a fairly conventional set of mods when I was younger. -
P-Ray? Stingision? Not a clue. Now with video!
crazycloud replied to fretmeister's topic in Bass Guitars
It's not difficult, but if you're not familiar with routers, watch some general woodworking videos on how to use them, practice on some scrap wood, go slowly taking off small amounts per pass, follow the direction of the router bit and use a template. Simmnet in the UK make nice ones. If you're unsure what you're doing, it's really easy to <expletive> up the instrument. Be careful. I've never used a Dremel for this, but a small flush trim style router would be better as it has some power, but no so much it'll be like a rodeo bronco if it bites into something in the wood like a denser grained section. -
In a choice between the EHB605 and the Cort Space 5, I'd go with the Cort. I don't like the blue, and I have Ibbys with the walnut flat finish, and I'll pass in the future.

I'll repost with better pics.

Absolutely luvverly. If it had at least one more string, I'd be really jealous, not just a wee bit.

Custom painted (printed) part bass-peacock context...
crazycloud replied to bgmttt's topic in Bass Guitars
That is awesome. I'd also like to know what printer it is because maybe there's someone local who can do the same - I have a ton of ideas that would work with this approach that I've been reluctant to approach with printed vinyl. -
I would have made some empty replica boxes out of thin ply, and got some badges made on Etsy.
-
Has anyone with one of these used it as a guitar amp? Looking at maybe the Joyo + battery pack or Headrush FRFR Go to play either guitar or bass on the beach, for practice. The Joyo would be the cheaper option by a bit, when it's available down here.

My late wife wanted a Bosendorfer, but I bought her a Yamaha instead, because she loved the specific piano, and at the time the Bosendorfer was maybe 40% of our house price and seven years wait. Or maybe that was the really nice store owner seeing my face when he mentioned the price exaggerating the order time.
-
They're both fine looking basses, but that 5 I'd love to try. Congrats gents.
-
I want one of those. My singing teacher has one and I've picked it up briefly when there and it looks like a great piece of kit. I have an Artist Guitars NTL1 solidbody nylon which is close enough for me, at the moment, especially at 1/3 the cost of the Yamaha. Mine sits by my bed to practice, noodle and write on. I'm getting my recently replaced cell phone repaired to use as a recorder to write on as I won't take my mobile into that part of the house.
