Si600 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I've just seen that the status on my new bass on the ParcelForce track and trace has been changed to delivered I so want to go home now and caress it. Or complain because it's been smashed to a million pieces... Edited January 16, 2014 by Si600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloc Riff Nut Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Brings back that christmassy feel you used to get as a child. Watching the progress of my ACG Carlisle- Preston - Tamsworth ... How long before it gets to Holland ? NBD = Happy Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Ta-daa Not only was my new bass waiting for me, but my Christmas pressie was as well, a new hard case for my other bass I've had a good look and a quick noodle whilst dinner was on and it's lovely. Sensible action and a non-floppy B string There are a couple of things I'm a bit surprised by, the B and G strings have all the string wrapped around the tuning post and the B and E strings sound really woolly compared with the other three but the outside edge of the pickups are screwed down so far they're nearly flush with the body so it could just be that they need winding up a bit to bring them closer to the strings. New case for old bass: [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF6527_zps73cc0b82.jpg.html"][/url] New bass in new case: [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF6525_zps13ddf393.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF6529_zpse3f04efc.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF6530_zps96510485.jpg.html"][/url] Fuzzy neck plate picture: [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF6536_zpsf0624feb.jpg.html"][/url] Edited January 16, 2014 by Si600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matski Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Nice! I've been thinking about a 5 string P for a while, so when is the 'player's review' coming...? Would love to hear your thoughts on how it plays and the sound of a fat B string P-bass style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
