I wanted a vintage jazz sound and all the forums pointed to the pickups on this as being that. Never played a jazz before and never entertained the idea of a MiM but I have to say it’s top notch and sounds sublime . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a great jazz, the stack pots take a while to get used to but I really like them, good build quality too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassfinger Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I'd never sell any of mine. If I did I'd only have to but another one to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Well I'm going to add another bass to my very short never sell list (along with my old P Bass). It's my 4003S, which I've not had too long but the circumstances in which I purchased it are very special to me and having spent the weekend playing it learning some new songs it's sublime. I changed the original white plastic for black and I've strung it with TI Roundwounds, so it's not quite stock. It plays beautifully and has that gorgeous "fizzy" Ric sound. I've got nine basses in total and this is one of only two I'll never part with, alongside my Martin D-18 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 200 quid its head and shoulders above anything I've had in a long time, it puts a massive smile on my face, it plays itself and it's just an absolute all around belter. I'd be insane to ever let it go, and in fact I want more of them. It's all the bass I've ever wanted and more. *I have said all this in the past, the Kinal, the Overwater etc... but its always been financial difficulties that have forced me to sell previously. Hopefully that won't be an issue again.... but I've learnt to never say never. I have one of these in natural finish which I bought new something like 30 years ago. It’s been sitting in the background while fancier basses have come and gone but it’s probably never going to be sold because it’s such a bargain and too good for the money it would command. There’s quite a bit of love for the B Bass on these forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Couldn't agree more. A future classic, that should be commanding higher prices, it's a joy to play. I'll be on the lookout for a couple more before everyone discovers the secret. Maybe I should shut up about them 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owno Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) I’ll never sell this Serek Midwestern. At less than 3kg, with great ergonomics, it is such a dream to play. Edited March 1, 2022 by Owno 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NT1991 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Probably won't ever sell my Fender Modern Player Telecaster Bass for two reasons. Number one is that I genuinely think its beautiful, I absolutely love the retro look and will probably string it with flats put some sponge under the strings and have it as my Motown sound bass. Reason number two is simply that I wouldn't get much money for it 😂 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffb28451 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Love them all, for a while (have 14, now). Always willing to sell or trade ( up, hopefully), but I’m running outta room in a “been there, done that”, sense). Wife , who indulges me, and dog, who doesn’t care, so long as belly rubs are coming, are not fo sale: anything else, make me an offer!

jd56hawk Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 More versatile than most solid-body basses...yes, plugged in, just like a Precision or a Jazz or a Stingray, etc. https://youtu.be/ZUIKUAYND6E (Headphones or earbuds are recommended.)

Having said that, I have, after many basses and much neurosis about dinging my basses, decided I am taking my EBMM Stingrays out to rehearsal stage and wherever - I'm pretty careful with my things, and I'm tired of having top end basses as case queens (the reason why I went for cheaper basses and relic's)... ... I just told my wife I can't let go of my Stingrays - but I did say so about the Limelights (I still don't want to but have to for budget), so, to answer the question, I can never say never - although the closes thing to 'never' is my Charcoal Sparkle SR4 Special - favourite bass to date, I can say that.
