Pinball Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Note: now just this one so £400. A nice lightweight bass, great looker and player with a great tone to match. Pretty rare and origonal. Active/passive switch, 2 band EQ, volume and and pickup pan. Gotoh hardware. Both active and passive tones sound great to my ears... When new around 2000 it was a high end bass. Muse fans will know that Chris Wolstenholme used the 4 string BC back then: https://www.youtube....aXfuf8I&fref=gc If you want more pictures PM me and I'll send you a mail.

jahfish Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Nice, especially the honey burst. Sadly I've given up on 5 strings too much thinking for my tiny brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I've given up on 5 strings too much thinking for my tiny brain [/quote] Yep I have been there, went back to 4's and came back to 5's with a diffrent approach. I now play 5's them like a 4 string most of the time, using the lower B as a rest and then using it when I need it. It works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanry Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Bass Collection make nice gear, I have recently been ogling the Rhythm Stick which according to a poster here on the forum Mr. Watt-Roy actually plays live. Could you tell me what the string spacing is at the nut and at the bridge, please? Also - what is the finish of the neck, please? And finally - can they do a passable P-sound by any chance? Thank you! Hanry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Lets see, The neck is gloss finish, Seems like a shallow "C" section at the thin end changing to a shallow D as it gets fatter. They are renowned for being good players String spacing looks like 19mm at the bridge, 38mm to the outside of the strings. Neck width at the nut is 46mm "Can they do a passable P sound?" Hmm it isn't that type of pass.There is plenty of bass tone on tap thanks to the active EQ and good electronics. Jazz tone yes and agressive warricky tones yes. My band really liked it when I subbed it for my Stingray so it has plenty under the tank but not what I think of as a P bass tone. Any trial welcome Edited August 13, 2017 by Pinball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanry Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thank you for the swift and detailed reply, Pinball! It puzzles me that even though quite a few bassists value the P-tone (at least here in the Bass Chat they do, which is why I decided to join up :-) 90% of all basses have only J- or somethingelse-plus-J sounds. How tiresome :-) On I search for the "[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/310299-a-bass-some-kind-of-bass-%3B/"]Eierlegende Wollmilchsau[/url]"!
