Think these have been rumoured/expected for a while, but officially announced a new MTD Kingston 32" model https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoxwAlNAth8/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Definitely shouldn't have sold my Electra 😅

Maruszczyk Elwood stunning Short Scale Bass - *SOLD*
BassApprentice replied to petergales's topic in Basses For Sale
Had a go on an Elwood short scale a few years ago when considering a trade. Super fun with amazing playability. Best of luck moving this on -
I'm always surprised how many of the 614/615s are sold with the wee plastic control card 😂
-
If you have a budget of £1000 there's an absolutely ridiculous selection of basses for sale just now.
Shame I don't have £1000 🥲

Anywhere else I can find MTD Kingstons?
BassApprentice replied to WrexhamBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Which one are you looking for? Even the basic ones are really very good. All the build features of the more expensive ones which is nice. -
Thanks all, definitely food for thought as configurator comes out about £400ish more than you see similar models retail for so just wanted to get collective input.
-
Question about the configurator - for those who have custom ordered is the price on the configurator the same price you got if you went through a dealer (Bass Direct or Classic and Cool)

A pretty poor example of releasing new models. Press photos/renders looking totally different to actual models they release. Just so weird and careless. -
This is far too local to me 😅 I love Sandberg - if I didn't have a large wedding impending this would be hung on my wall! All the best. -
New 5er in the pipeline...delivery scheduled for 25th

Musicman? -
I had an Electra VS4 which I picked up for £400 and then sold it to Johnny Dibble (if you watch his reviews on YouTube) Stupidly good bass for the money and probably should have kept it as they now seem to have crept up in price, even pre-owned.

Musicman SR5 sound - but with 19 mm string spacing
BassApprentice replied to Thomas P's topic in Bass Guitars
Looked at MTD, and the Kingston Range? The Super 5 will do that (and about everything else) I've got this one and I'm sure with a bit of tweaking you could end up at Stingray tone with 19mm spacing -
I want to love these but I'm just not a fully blacked out stealth type of guy. Would be great to see this in more colours Vs the other stingray style HBs!
-
I'm sure there's a luthier who could make one for you 😅 or a Sandberg Lionel could fit the bill?
-
Nice job! There's a guy I follow on Instagram (@mikepbass) who gets some very nice slap tones out those Double J pickups.
-
Question - what readily available pickups sound like the pickups in the BBG4A? I liked the tone but don't need another bass and have wanted to change the pickup in my MTD Kingston for a while....
-
Never seen these before, look very nice! This is tempting....
-
Not even close to being real
-
I could be wrong - but apart from Wal I think you'd struggle to spec a build from a UK luthier that would cost the same as the likes of Fodera/Alembic. Not sure why as the quality is there but I haven't seen a UK built bass go for £8k plus.

BassApprentice replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
It's the colour choices that will do well for them. Squier also do good value short scales, but if far fewer colours. Give people a good choice at a great price. -
Stopped by a local shop and had a noodle on a BBG4A, really very good. Is £350 fair for these? Might have to move some bits on
-
I thought I was safe as I'm not a J bass guy. Oh. Bugger.
