I keep considering these and then pontificating too long when they come up for sale on here! The daphne blue is my favourite - enjoy

Nordstrand Acinonyx short scale, Surf Green - *WITHDRAWN*
Merton replied to PTB's topic in Basses For Sale
Well this is testing my ability to hold firm in the gear abstinence challenge 😅 -
I’ll join you. Christ. It’s given me heartburn. No, I don’t know how either, but it definitely coincides with listening to that 😵💫

The GR Dual Pre offers the same as those amps but in pedal form… https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/GR_Bass_Pedals.html

I will! February, of course, is another matter 😀
-
I absolutely LOVE this. It’s pretty close to the next ACG spec I would love to have made 🙂

Anyone From Birmingham Know Joanne Taylor Shaw ?
Merton replied to Bluewine's topic in General Discussion
The drummer in one of my bands supported her a few years ago in one of his other bands, said she and the whole band were all lovely people. I wasn’t jealous at all* *🧐 -
Ooooft. Lovely. No funds sadly. -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Merton replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Yep. The black one at the bottom of @meterman’s post almost came home to me last year as I had a friend in Argentina at the time 😅 -
I’m pretty sure it’s when the final money changes hands and you get the instrument. For example I have a bass arriving this year that was paid for last year; it doesn’t count. If I’d started a build last year but was only paying when it arrives this year, I’d be out. if this Shuker build has only just been kicked off with a deposit it’s possible it may not see the light of day until 2023 so you may still be in on a technicality….. maybe 😃 @bassfan can come along and advise soon I’m sure 🙂

The bitsa looks great, I wobbled over that one too!
-
What is it? This is now the important detail! 🤓

Personally think the “standard” Zoot headstock doesn’t work with the body’s aesthetic, a modified version of the original reverse one for straight string runs makes more sense to me. I like it, it’s the sort of 80s throwback shape which sells it to me 😄
-
Yep I was going to weigh in and say that it’s very highly regarded over there. The Faital Pro drivers are hardly cheap and cheerfuI expect.
-
Oh my 😍
-
I'm still in! It think I might make at least half year before failing, but we'll see...

ON HOLD Barefaced Gen 3 Super Compact - *SOLD*
Merton replied to andyneeds's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Great cab, great price. Tempted myself but I don't need it at all, I'm using their Two10 instead -
I love a matching bass/rig, that is classy AF.
-
How do I tell my wife I just bought another bass?
Merton replied to Rayman's topic in General Discussion
I’m another lucky one, Mrs Mert has two horses to worry about. If I spent as much as she does every month we would of course be utterly flipped but if I (slightly more than occasionally) fail in my quest to complete a year in the Basschat Gear Abstinence Challenge she doesn’t bat an eyelid. -
An update from Fred at Peavey over on Talkbass….: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/trace-elliot-design.1521151/page-2#post-26008218

Aguilar Nordstrand Delano Haussel … probably others too, but these are the ones I most recently researched
-
Just wish Lindy Fralin would do a 5 string P eh @Cosmicrain hahaha 😉
-
That is a fine looking bass, well worth getting sent to the naughty step!
-
Bass Direct have just posted two new Lionel shorties on Facebook. They are probably the best two I’ve seen and I’ve been tempted by loads already. This 2022 gear abstinence challenge is going to be tough…

What is inbound? 🤓
