    Yes I saw this too, and it's a shame to lose the range from the marketplace.

    I've played a few of the Rithmic basses and every one was a terrific bass for the pricepoint.

    And that's how it should be done. Well done Hipshot.

    Hi Phil DM me your address and I’ll send you a set of hardly used D’Addario nickel round balanced tension strings 50-67-90-120, which might do the job for you. Cheers Gareth

    I’d go mint green or tort, personally.

    Awesome stuff.

    Briefly installed before swapping to black finish instead. No real wear at all: a little wax on the threads but that’s it.

    Will you be using it for gigging? If so, how loud will the band be? Acoustic basses are nototrious for feedback, fretless ones even more so because you'll use a lot of open notes and sustain, which allows the note to swell which can in turn lead to feedback.

    That's quite a shopping list of upgrades for such a budget bass! I'd imagine all that expense will actually make the upgrades cost more than the bass was originally bought for, or importantly would ever be worth in the future, so on that basis alone I would say don't do it.
  13. franzbassist
    Ah yes, the classic Pro series. I had one for a while. Passive single pickup basses that still sound fab.

    Yes it was £4.5k… Clarky’s brain isn’t pickled yet! 🤣 I think the unusual configuration kept the price down.
  15. franzbassist
    Such good amps these, can do clean or dirty, and that's a keen price too.
  16. franzbassist
    We can all breathe easy now, it's "on hold".

    Incredibly rare model. I had the same configuration in both Mk I and Pro basses but have never seen a Mk II version. Not a bad weight, and subtle lines with dots on the "fret" too - best of both worlds?
  18. franzbassist
    Yes they are great. All my other straps made by them, just kicking myself for ordering the wrong width!
  19. franzbassist
    But it's nothing to lose your head over...
  20. franzbassist
    Most are one size fits all so you'll need to know the key dimensions of your bass, such as the total length, lower bout width etc. For example, here are the Hiscox dimensions for their standard and extra long cases.
  21. franzbassist
    That's a lovely bass Owen, really lovely.

    You only have one eyebrow?

    What @mybass says. The higher the value the brighter the pot tone. One of my basses has a Delano Xtender pickup in it, and even though the Delano schematics show 250k pots in all the diagrams my bass came with two 500k pots installed. I recently rewired it and actually settled on a 500k volume and 250k tone with a .033 capacitor, as that sounded best to my ears. If you're good at soldering you can mix and match and dial in a combination that works for you.

    I've used angled jacks on my leads for many years and never had an issue. Buy decent quality like Neutrik and you'll be fine.
