Which no-one seems to like either (See Sire, G&L (RIP), Harley Benton etc.)
-
I've followed Seldon on Instagram for a good while and really like his designs, even the weird headstock! For those that don't like it, he can do a more traditional 2+2 for you...

I'm sorry, but for £3,400 - that's sheer laziness. Zero effort to actually try and make a new model, especially when they have the 480 in their back catalogue Think what most other custom builders could do for over £3k.

Not sure what or why, but I just wouldn't buy a Retrovibe. I guess I think they are quite expensive for what they are. Bitsa basses with a nice setup. -
Another week - another new set of models/colours. Both absolute winners again for me.

So....what have we gained here? 😅

If Sire want to do a short scale P bass - I'm here for that! -
I appreciate this may be a phase, but I look forward to the day that I find *my* bass, like you seem to with Mustangs/Musicmasters. It's always fun to buy and sell gear - but having a bass style you just enjoy playing is really the end goal for most of us. They look great!

It could just be the online pictures, but the monorail bridge looks like it sticks out a long way. Far more obviously than alternatives like the EHB

Just spotted this after looking at Alnus basses from another thread. A replacement Mustang neck for under £200 - think that could be of use to any future short scale projects people may have in mind! https://reverb.com/uk/item/83942186-luthier-made-mustang-bass-neck -
Whilst they might be yet another clone - he does make replacement Jazz/P/Mustang necks for under £200. That's not bad all things considered.

Even Billy Sheehan is getting in on the short scale fun. Took inspiration from you @ped 😅 -
Bass The World - Harley Benton Signature Bass.
BassApprentice replied to spyder's topic in Bass Guitars
I reckon it'll be closer to £600 - which will be an interesting place for HB to be. Will be aiming to go above Sire at the £400 with better hardware and electronics. But not enough to make the brand snobs think it's too close to a base range of Fender. I don't really get on with Jazz basses but these do look good! -
A short vid about the lightweight V6 - looks cool!
-
Yup - and little extenders so you can use a wall hanger? @Bass Direct estimate of price?

Or if you can forego the amp and want a something a bit more traditional for £115 https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQc7eNG -

I might keep an eye on it. AliExpress tend to have random sales so if it gets down to around about £150, it could be worth a punt. Especially as it seems to have an built-in headphone amp. -

$4000 down to $450 is always a bit suspect, but it does look cool! -
JB-62CC Mini SP - Harley Benton https://share.google/PcjFJeHxomT5Dheq6 A 23inch scale Jazz bass might do the trick?

If I wasn't so sensible, that Decision P would be hanging on my wall. So good.

When I was younger, I had pictures of BC Rich, Warlocks and Buzzards as my desktop background, so was definitely in to a bit more ostentatious basses. I still like to do things a bit differently. Whether it be a Yamaha BB over a Fender PJ or a Reverend over Fender, that type of thing.

Forget flats and rounds - these are curlies!
BassApprentice replied to Dazm66's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
It's an easy mistake to make. The P and the T are on the same row of the keyboard at least 😂
