Very nice looking passive VS4 at Bass Direct for a not too silly price. My trigger finger has been itching.

Could find an existing thread so have started one up.
Just acquired a lovely ACG from Jason. Great transaction, very good comms and fast delivery. Highly recommended people, deal in confidence.
Simple passive V/T set up on this Letts bass. IIRC this was slightly closer to the bridge than a P bass. I'd also like to hear what a Sandberg Central would sound like in fretless form. It's a bit like a Stingray but the pickup is more towards the neck.
That's quite a niche comparison. I've owned a VM and a Darkhawk (a bit like a VM2) and TT4s so not quite the same. Current 'stock is a TT4 and a Central which are more than welcome to come and try if you like to compare to your bass. I see you're Cumbria but that's a large footprint. I'm in Chorley (near Preston).
Will has sold a few of my basses that were very much not in the 4-figure price bracket (sub £500) so I wouldn't be too concerned about that. They both received exactly the same treatment as the cool expensive stuff, as in excellent service.
Just acquired a bass from Gerry. Top bloke, he took the trouble to drive down to meet up for a handover. Well above and beyond the call of duty.
Had a good chat too. One of the best.
