    I meant I should have nabbed them when I came to pick up the bass!
  2. therealting
    Should have made you an offer for these!

    Agreed, but I’m more talking about the amp that doesn’t always work, the guitar with the switch that goes dodgy mid gig. We’ve all had it happen at some point or other, pros learn that they can’t afford this sort of thing to happen more than once

    On the flipside, I have done gigs with musicians who were incredibly capable, but with gear which was constantly unreliable. Having expensive beer doesn’t necessarily make you a better player, but they can make you a better person to hire than someone who is equipment is it up to the task. This is not to say that inexpensive instruments cannot be made to be reliable.

    Dude, you are killing me with these killer axes.

    Pretty sure the bridge pickup says “Noiseless” and so is Fender rather than Nordstrand. Nice bass!

    That’s a little beaut! Shame you’re so far away.

    It’s... so... pretty...

    It looks like the perfect size to put a mic in!

    Go on then, I’ll sling an extra tenner towards the food bank at which I volunteer. PM sent — oops, just seen that it’s sold. Never mind —-

    Ormsby Hype GTR 7-string in Dragon Burst. Excellent very clean condition, no scratches or dings that I can see. Plays beautifully. - quilted maple top in “dragon burst”, blue to pink fade. - mahogany body, very comfortable arm and body bevels - 5-piece maple / bubinga set-neck (that neck joint is gorgeous) with fanned-fret / multiscale ebony fingerboard - 24 stainless steel jumbo frets, as new, excellent fret access - 27-25.5” scale, so a tight low B string and a singing high E, wonderfully balanced, great for low and drop tunings - currently tuned in standard (BEADGBE) with 9s - satin black Hipshot hard tail through-body bridge and locking tuners - satin black volume and tone knobs with rubber grip rings. Coil tap on tone knob. - 3-way pickup switching - Ormsby pickups (I think the De La Creme model, excellent clean, crunchy and distorted) - Ormsby-branded lightweight hardshell case £1,100 or would consider a trade for a Strandberg, Suhr, PRS Silver Sky, or similar S-type instrument. Might also be tempted by a similar value bass, I am picky but feel free to try me. Collection or meet-up preferred (SE London or nearby).

    Contemplating the yawning gap between what I can afford and a sensible offer

    @walshy, if you ever decide to sell, give me a bell.
  19. therealting
    Someone was just telling me about these the other day. That looks stunning.
  20. therealting
    Phew - kept coming to look at this and glad to be put out of my misery!
  21. therealting
    Utterly gorgeous. Wish I could afford it.
  22. therealting
    No worries at all! Just wanted to make sure it hadn’t just been invisible, appreciate the reply.

    Hi mate - I know notifications don’t always show, so just to let you know I replied to your PM on Saturday 👍 @sshorepunk

    @Machines I think the main issue is that roasted maple is quite a bit more brittle than normal maple, and they’re just not packed well enough from the factory... so it’s a bit of pot luck whether it arrives intact or not, since it doesn’t take much to split roasted maple.
