Vinny Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Tired of schlepping through tiresome, endless ads for Sandberg, Mayones, Fender and other nice basses? Well, consider yourselves relieved, people! Feast thine eyes upon the majesty of a red, (yes, red!) P-copy by the mighty Gear 4 Music corporation of planet Earth. It is red! It has 4 strings! It has a shim in the neck pocket! It plays great! (eh? what? no, it really does.) It sounds fab! (Shut your stupid hole, you're just being silly. No, really!) It is red! The shim is because the saddles were bottomed out on the bridge, giving an action fit for Robin Hood. This cured it. The electrics have been swapped out for the kit from a Musima P of unknown vintage, for no better reason than the original pickup had rusty pole pieces. This may well explain the whole fab-soundyness, (IMO etc, etc...) or it could be made of Javanese Kampfer wood. You decide: [url="https://soundcloud.com/vince-peters/mrs-robinson"]https://soundcloud.c...rs/mrs-robinson[/url] [url="https://soundcloud.com/vince-peters/cymru-lloegr-a-llanrwst"]https://soundcloud.c...oegr-a-llanrwst[/url] [url="https://soundcloud.com/vince-peters/emma-wells-trapped-stems-only-unmixed140422"]https://soundcloud.c...y-unmixed140422[/url] Yes, those really were recorded with this. OK, this bass has slightly less street-cred than halitosis or even an SLR650, and it's certainly not going to blow any skirts up, but what do you want for £60 delivered? Eh? Eh?

3below Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Bump, I have played one of these at work (school). With good strings and a setup it would give quite a few basses a good run for the money. At £60 this is a giveaway.
Vinny Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 And my nefarious plan to get 17 extra plays on my Soundcloud comes to fruition - BAHAHAHAAA - bow down before me, lowly mortals!!
Vinny Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 Threaded saddles upgrade bump! (they were there all along, I just forgot to mention them)
Vinny Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 I've the urge for [s]e[/s][s]xperimenting[/s] / [s]generally buggering things up[/s] / a little project, so last bump before the frets get pulled.
tom1946 Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 'Tis actually made from Paulownia which is a lightweight wood, ideal for those with weight problems...err I don't mean that you have weight pro.. oh you know what I mean... GLWTS, looks like a bargain to me.
Vinny Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 Did I mention that at all? I forget things, y'see.
Vinny Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 Withdrawing as I've just knocked it over and bust a machine head. T*t!
