    Might want to put Jazz in the title, so people know it's not a Precision guard. GLWTS!

    Smaller basses with proportionally longer necks are usually neck heavy unless they have a long top horn.

    [quote name='basskit_case' timestamp='1485696431' post='3225844'] What about a Corsair MCR1 http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Greg-Bennett-Corsair-MCR-1-Mini-Bass-Black/1IFU [/quote] I have one of those - the scale length is much shorter.

    Finally, put out of my misery (:

    Would also like to hear about this. Been looking at Mustangs and these are pretty cool.
  6. therealting
    Wish I had a suitable bass to put this into! Do you know how they compare with the Super Fattys?

    Hi mate - you might want to embed the photos here in the thread. Clicking on Photobucket sends me into a never ending stream of pop ups and ads, and I'm not the only one.

    I really shouldn't ask since I don't need this, but you are in SE London / Kent which is exactly me... how much does it weigh?

    I've had issues with Pyramids twisting and going dead (they sent me new ones), and a dead Optima Gold roundwound B (still not resolved that one). Different people will prefer different ones but I've generally found happiness with Fender 9050Ls (surprisingly affordable). Those or Chromes (which are pricier).

    I have a MK I 6 string, it was my first bass. Amazing instrument. I now prefer less massive basses, but every now and then I take it out of its case and am reminded of what a fine piece of design and craftsmanship it is.

    I believe all unmodified Attitudes are passive. This is mine.

    Sire sure are producing some crackers - if their V7s weren't so weighty I would certainly have one by now! Hoping their upcoming PJ is on the svelte side. That M7 looks gorgeous.

    I know it's not a BB, but my Attitude Special is a smudge under 4kg. Has a split P pickup and a neck woofer, 40mm nut, and a sort of J shape with less rounded edges.

    So I have a Samick MCR1 bass lying around, a very cool little P with a 24 3/4" scale. I'd love to put some flats on it, but don't know which ones would possibly fit. My favourite flats on long scale are Fender 9050Ls (I have them on my Fender 61 P and my Yamaha Attitude Special) and D'Addario Chromes (I have them on my Dingwall Super P5)... not such a fan of the thumpier ones like the TI Jazz Flats (which I have on my Bravewood 56 P) or Pyramid Golds. Any recommendations? I know using long scale flats on a short scale can sometimes result in breakage.

    I've shared this to his timeline in case someone he knows fancies it.

    [quote name='Dancj' timestamp='1485270094' post='3222645'] Happy Jack, if I am not mistaken, you can string these with a B as well as with an E. [/quote] Indeed you can, at 34.25" it's perhaps not as thunderous as the 35" of the 5-string Super P or 37" of the long scale Dingwalls, but it's still great.
  17. therealting
    Short / medium scale, roasted flame maple neck, active/passive, compact 2+2 headstock. £499?! That's amazing.
  18. therealting
    Lovely! Would love a 4-string Dingwall.
  19. therealting
    You've done all right for yourself with that one!
  20. therealting
    Don't forget that on a J-Retro, the bass is boost-only... so you actually want to turn it all the way down to match levels.
  21. therealting
    Change the title of the thread and the mods will lock it
  22. therealting
    The photos appear to have gone missing, just FYI.
  23. therealting
    No worries. I know when I spoke to Newtone I had a chat about different core sizes which influence tension.
  24. therealting
    The one reason I can think of for not buying it is that occasionally they come up for sale secondhand, and those are ASTONISHING bargains.

    [quote name='darkandrew' timestamp='1485114158' post='3221248'] "Feel" is quite a difficult thing to quantify. From my own experience, I bought an EBMM Sterling that was strung with slightly lighter strings than I usually used and it didn't "feel" right- it too felt quite cramped. Changing to my regular gauge (45-105) made a surprisingly big difference. [/quote] That's what I'm wondering myself.
