No matter how elegant, balanced and good looking a bass may be with white and gold hardware it's just wrong. FACT. No point arguing about it or having a different point of view 😉 I prefer gold on white. Warms it up. Chrome just looks cold.😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is that it will be by folk who think relic'd basses are classy. 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more important, but there is no denying that gold hardware often does not look quite right..... well at least in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Oh well, we’ll all sit around a camp fire threatening to burn each other’s basses and calling them naughty names. What a positive start to a Saturday 😂 I’m off to look into a Brown Sparkle Yamaha BB with gold hardware and pearloid tuning buttons and 14mm spacing with midi and mini USB outputs. Fan frets and 18 stings tuned in semitonal increments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be enough firewood if you are going to be joining me, Sylvie and 4000 at the stake... 😁 PS tbf if folk describe that BB as brown and not orange, you won't be able to complain.

First post didn’t make it clear you built it 😡 Ah well, he came clean in the end. Not worth getting angry over. I’d suggest that Sims/Marcus need to sort an affiliate page up. Love a lot of the things they do as a company - and we’re a captive audience for a lot of their products. We can be a spiky crew at times - I think we need to chill out; Marcus, have a word with Martin and set up a nice Basschat discount code - then I can find my donor BB for the poo brown sparkle bass... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 It looks lumpy, out of balance and too bling for me. Oh, and too many controls. And one too many strings. Apart from that its perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) @Cosmo ValdemarI was never really a fan of the Dalek tone. Lacked low end and a touch boxy in the mids. But hey, I suspect none of our audiences would notice... Edited March 14, 2020 by Al Krow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
