Thinking of getting a fretless for the fleet.

Unlined. Looks so much better.

 

[Drago]

I quite like them lined, but can't say im especially fussed either way.

Let's face it once the strings have been on for a few years who can tell.

Thumping away with a bit of Dio era Black Sabbath today. By 'eck, Geezer Butler can play.

NBD!!!

Flawless finish, superbly set up, feels fantastic in the hands and sounds lubberly! Makes Squiers in the £400 range look like a shoddily finished sick joke.

All hail Harley Benton.

Nice!

 

[Drago]

Im loving it. It just feels great in the hands. Im still trying to get my head around how HB sell basses for £118 delivered that would cost £500 from any other brand name.

Blimey - I've just had a look on Thomann - incredible prices ... Some interesting-looking basses for less than £100 including delivery!

I'll be sensible though and wait until I start getting my state pension (early 2022) and have a bit more spending money. I'll treat myself to something then.

Next on my list is a violin bass and a Steinberger. And a Thunderbird.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Should have updated a few weeks back. I'm now the proud owner of a budget* acoustic bass, it lives in work and I spend a couple hours of each night shift tinkering away.



* £100 ebay nonamed item, could do with decent strings but it holds tuning

Ive got a Bryce acoustic bass. Nothing flash, but brilliant when I have 5 minutes and just want to practice without fannying about withbthe amp and cables.

That was my thinking too, although it's got a preamp I never thought of trying it for a bit plugged in

Gibson SG, anyone?

"Finally, the good news we've all been waiting for in 2020: beloved Aussie rockers AC/DC have a blinding new album, Power Up, due for release on November 13.

But that's not where the good news ends. To celebrate the release of the album, we've teamed up with Gibson and AC/DC's label Sony to offer you the chance to win a Gibson SG guitar, signed by Angus Young himself."
