    34”
  2. AndyTravis
    Yeah, would probably go wrong 🫣
  3. AndyTravis
    Nah, think that’d be a bit cheeky… “hey, i just quit the band I bought this bass for…can I have my money back?” 😆
  4. AndyTravis
    Would be lovely mate, bass account back to £0 after the recent purchase

    Literally collected this last Tuesday from Bass Bros. I chose it over 2 other honeyburst SR5’s as it sounded and played better than the others - it also has that slightly mellower honeyburst rather than the starts red/yellow that the later versions seemed to have. I bought it for a band which I’m apparently no longer in because I called some shitty behaviour out. I don’t need a 5 string. It’s ace but I don’t need it. It’s got some marks/dings (it’s 27 years old…), the worst of which is down by the strap button on the butt of the bass - it’s had some refinish applied o it and once the strap is on; you’d never know. it’s 9.8lbs. So “light” for an SR5. it has a beautiful Birdseye neck. Very sad it’s not staying but I have no use and really don’t want a reminder of the band it was bought for. I don’t really want trades - but I’m easily swayed; I’d like money my way if possible. comes with a hardcase and a brand new set of d’addario 5’s (it has brand new strings on). can ship in UK for £20 collection preferred. some pics are from BB site - more will follow when im not heading to bed - including the obligatory name/paper shot.

    Genuinely, I don’t keep basses long enough for me to know the true answer. Generally I use rounds, but the flats I use on basses are usually recycled. if they’re not losing tuning - and they feel right…that’s the aim, surely? Half wounds - I’d say a year, I got really annoyed with the half’s on my ripper and changed them for new. Like a new bass.
  8. AndyTravis
    I think if you’re not enjoying the sound from your bass… that’s when you change them.

    £400 anyone?

    Jay bought a Bartolini Pre from me - absolutely joyful transaction x
  11. AndyTravis
    Yeah. If these found their way to me in Manchester…I’d be made up. They could be my rehearsal rig…

    $3 saving on 10,000 basses. probably. scrimp scrimp scrimp. keep costs down, push prices up. etc. Got excited when I saw “electric blue” - but then realised it’s just a flat blue paint like the Squier affinity Baltic blue from 10 years ago. meh.

    They did it on the Jaguar Bass in about 2005

    I actually made it to Bass Bros, finally… Mrs Travis booked us a little break to Stratford as we’re both on holiday. Did all the Shakespeare gubbins etc. @Willfunk and I had been talking about my Gibson and a Stingray 5 he had in stock. Now, because I’m useless with geography - I’ve no clue where anything is…I did not realise how close I would be this weekend. Will and I have dealt with each other a few times now; at some point in the past via BD, and I’ve sold a few basses to him. Anyhow, a quick message back and forth - I collected the stingray today, and the Gibson leaves tomorrow (wish I’d took it with me now, but didn’t realise until I got to Stratford). Anyhow - he was chilled, ace and it was a nice place to be. Impressive space with some great gear.

    Sell Us Your Guitar are reputable - an ex colleague of mine runs it. Its in Manchester, but they offer a fair enough price… Don't know if that helps

    I actually have no clue “Electronics: Bartolini HR-4.6AP/918 (Active/Passive circuit). Layout: Vol-Blend-Mid (250-800Hz parametric) Bass/Treble stack.” that’s what was listed on Phil Mann’s website before he put trickfish on there…
  17. AndyTravis
    3 band. No passive mode that I’m aware of.
  18. AndyTravis
    Yeah, every time I’ve pulled a fender out (even posh CS) there’s been no comments. Pull out a Gibson Ripper - people ask to have their photo taken with it. The Jack Casady basses “ooh they’re nice them” etc. The BB having been my longest serving bass has never actually done a gig with me…
  19. AndyTravis
    Don’t…I’m still McGiver’ing a plan. Currently sat at £500 😆
  20. AndyTravis
    Yeah I’m strictly on one in one out now “it’s ridiculous now Trav…” says the wife. Because the LP is going…this can really stay. Nothing else I’ve got does this sound.
  21. AndyTravis
    Will listens to offers - trades… if @silverfoxnikwants to talk about the m6 🤣

    Happy to listen to offers on this as I’ve no intent on fitting it to anything and I have nowhere to store it. Would entertain trades on a pedal, fresh sets of strings etc. Fanks xxx

    It’s not improving the more I think about it. I was genuinely accused of being “aggressive” today…because I didn’t understand why I was accosted for unplugging a 3 plug adapter (not in use) so I could plug my extension lead in. still reeling over it.
  25. AndyTravis
    Waste of time today. everyone knackered, 9.30 on a Saturday, rushing as drummer had somewhere to be. All grumpy and ready to misinterpret one another: we played shite, absolute waste of time.
