MacDaddy Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Has anyone seen the June issue of Guitarist? No bear with me, because I've just seen it and they have a review (5 stars) of the Zoot Performer Pro. Handmade in the UK and only £985.00! Bugger!

MacDaddy Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 BTW apart from being a customer at the Bass Merchant, I have no connection or endorsement with Zoot Basses. I just think that price for a bass of that quality is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Would it be this one per chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slemm Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Just happen to be looking for a b/day present for myself. Could anyone enlighten me on where to purchase such a beast. What I mean is it looks like it's built to last, and I'm the first to admit I'm clumsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Just give Mike over at The Bass Merchant in Witham, Essex a ring. Nice guys, Mike did all the electronics work/modding on my Thingray, and thats awesome! I've never tried a Zoot but i hear good things, if the preamp is anything like the one he put in my bass, then it sounds fantastic Si p.s. I to have no affiliation to Zoot or the Bass merchant other then I've had some work done there.............and i used to live in essex Edited July 8, 2007 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3V17C Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 isn't it about time the bass merchant got their website sorted?!?!! peace c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yes! Mike needs to update the site a bit! I know a chap called Simon who does a bit of webby stuff.. owns a certain 5 string P bass ;o) Mike and the boys are lovely chaps, very accommodating. Big thumbs up from me. I bought both my Tech cabs from them and nearly maxed out my bank account when they waved an EBS head under my nose. Nearly went on a bread and water diet!! On a related note, Mike is looking into building lightweight NEO cabs to take on the 'big boys'. I look forward to seeing these. ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I dont think Mike would be too proud to build a BFM for anyone. Hell, it'd be good to see someone doing that. I'd prefer to leave it to a pro to be honest. Its worth asking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Dave Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 [quote name='MacDaddy' post='28726' date='Jul 8 2007, 07:33 PM']New handbuilt UK basses for under a grand![/quote] Well yeah, ACG's new jazz range is quite a bit less than that and superb quality. For the record i have no connection to ACG other than owning 2 basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's be worth contacting him for a quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
