    Depends if you want a modern or vintage tone? Some UK based guys do custom pickups at very reasonable prices like Catwhisker or the Creamery. Also might be worth playing stock for a while and seeing what it does/doesn't do for you.

    Just spotted this on No Treble - a Carbon Fiber necked bass for under £700... https://klosguitars.com/products/electric-bass-preorder However, they are also taking preorder for nearly every other stringed instrument under the sun so this could be a case of spreading themselves too thin. Always cool to see new things though.

    I totally get what you mean after having a bass VI, but part of the tone and charm of the VI is from the thinner strings and pickups in combination, which won't be the same on a 4 string version

    I looked into these a while back as I love Sandbergs and they are definitely aiming for that market with these. The consensus was: -Good quality fit and finish -Tend to be heavy -Preamp is a bit naff

    Oh exciting, I was very close and the options look extensive and they are willing to be "flexible" on shipping and import.... Look forward to hearing about yours!

    I know this isn't strictly a BB, but my god, this will look amazing. (These are the guys who do Buzz guitars and basses)

    Do we know if there are any places like Limelight that would relic an instrument you already own for you? I've got a burgundy Sire incoming and would like it to look more Betsy-ish

    Could be the angle, but that humbucker doesn't look straight..... 😅 But throw some cream pickup covers on that 😍

    Mine was the Yamaha Attitude. I was properly into shred stuff when I was younger and that was The One. Tried it and it just didn't fit with me. Next was the Ken Smith - neck was fantastic but again I didn't get that feeling. Part of it is possibly because those two basses are pretty complex and need more time than just trying in a shop/trying a friend's bass.

    Thought I was patient enough to wait for a relay of friends to get my new bass to me, but it's proving very difficult 😅

      From where to where....

      I'm sure that there are many BCers who would be happy to help.

      It's currently in Essex and I need to get it to either Stratford-upon-Avon or Glasgow. Might start a relay request post 😁

    @Al Krow And conveniently there's one on eBay right now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Beautiful-bass-guitar-great-quality-excellent-sound-/303955417110?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

    Bought some strings from Jodie, super nice guy and even dropped them to my door!
  13. BassApprentice
    I'll take these!

    Thread resurrection. Anyone in here able to make one for a Sire V7? Would like it to be removable as I've not had one before so not sure if it will work for me or not?
  15. BassApprentice
    Dropped you a PM.... 😅

    This for me is the hurdle, I would love an ACG/Sei/Shuker but I would have no idea where to even begin. I don't think I've spent enough time with enough basses to even know what I would want them to make. Just another excuse to try and buy more things 😂
  17. BassApprentice
    That looks incredible! Never ceases to amaze me how good ACGs can look
  18. BassApprentice
    That was his first signature bass

    Now in Velvet Black.

    To be fair for Vulfpeck, a lot of Dart's tone comes from post production and live he tends to stay pretty consistent so he doesn't really need a tone or volume. But selling it for more than the one with more features, that's a bold move and it's paid off (for 50 sales at least 😂)
  21. BassApprentice
    Neon or checkerboard 😂

    Took my first trip to GuitarGuitar today and decided to do some serious tyre kicking of a Spector Euro LX....I wish I hadn't 😅 Everything just works. I hate finished necks, this one worked for me. I normally want to twiddle all the knobs but the Tone pumps takes away the need to do that. Body was comfortable, pickup placement was great. But I just don't have £2k to splash on one...maybe one day or are there any older/midrange models that remotely match the Euro?

    Green vote here too.

    This is...optimistic https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-BB-series-5-String-Bass-/303967392622?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

    Well I'll happily take it off you if you don't have the space 😅
