    IPhone through the f hole on the other side of the bass! 👍🏻

    When we're out of lockdown I'd like to hear this in the flesh (I'm in Alton), as I'm considering one for my passive fretless.

    I had a stock one of these and it was a terrific bass. Did the P thing very well.

    Great review. When I first saw them I thought "Ew!", but it sounds great!

    Now that is a lovely looking bass.

    Heistercamp for me, and I've tried a lot!

    Basschat sales every time. Shops will always go very low.

    Agee. I have the Deluxe version and it's a great pedal. Loads of different tone available.

    When you've tried everything and your new low B string still won't intontate properly.... :sorry:

      If it's a new like-for-like replacement La Bella should be willing to exchange or at least advise.

      Spent more time fettling this afternoon.  Flipped the string over (the ball end is locked in place in the ETS bridge system) and it seems to have done the trick.  Fingers crossed!

    What @NoirBass said. These are terrific.

    And yet another super smooth transcation with Mike. He is a Basschat legend!

    Agree with @Hellzero 100%. They are superb strings. And don't be afraid to go with the heavier gauge either, they feel so good!

    What @SurroundedByManatees said. 👍

    I sold some strings to Ed. It was a super smooth deal, and I would happily deal with him again.

    Looks great. Very similar to my Franz Sirius ❤️

    Interesting, but Strings Direct has been selling Rotosound singles for years.

    Yep, I see what you mean. Have added a picture to explain.

    While I love this bass, it just doesn't get played since the acoustic blues project I bought it for folded, so up it goes for sale. Now discontinued, the Epiphone De Luxe Classic is a short scale (30.5") archtop bass. Spruce top on a flame maple body, with an ebony fingerboard on a maple and mahogany five piece laminated neck. I removed the dreadful Shadow piezo pickup and replaced it with a custom made Krivo pickup (£200). I also added Schatten volume and tone thumbwheels in the f hole. The bass is strung with standard gauge La Bella white nylons (I also have a set of La Bella black nylons I put on it previously that are included in the sale), and it lives in a very nice TGI Extreme gig bag. The bass is in excellent condition. The only real "damage" is where I cut the scratchplate to accommodate the pickup, and a filled hole in the neck join from a strap button. Shipping isn't an option, so it's £599 collected. Thanks Gareth

    Sadly that went a while ago. I'll PM you shortly.

    Thanks for the heads up. Colour me interested...

    Apologies, I didn't get a notification for this reply. It's a .105, but it looks like the strings are now sold.

    My two Franz basses are absolute perfection in every way. I've owned around sixty basses in over forty years of playing, but to me they are everything I want in terms of playability, build quality, and above all tone. The fretted bass has a chestnut top from a tree that grew in my parent's garden, so that makes it extra special.
  23. franzbassist
    Price drop
  24. franzbassist
    Yep, a single 12AX7 as I recall.

    What a lovely looking bass.
