    What's you dream bass that you some day hope to own??

    Because of the ergonomic shape an Ibanez Grooveline G104. If anyone wants to sell one like that to me then I'd love to hear it.

    Even with the slimmer necks, I'd consider selling...... not yet.... don't know :) But I think my asking price would be too high. I did modifications that cost a lot and shipping from Holland to Georgia isn't cheap as well. For now, I keep them unless I get a very very good offer.

    That is a German Fretless Taranaki bass. Only one made. Sounds fantastic but the neck was a little too big for me. I love the small necks on the SWB's (I have rather small hands and a little rheumatic). I now also have some Ibanez SR basses and found them very comfortable playing and good...

    I have DiMarzio DP123BK pups in my SWB-1. They have so very very much more power then the original pups and the sound is great.

    Why is that beginner stuff? I wouldn't call Gary Willis a beginner. The first fretless SWB's had lines. Later only dots on the side of the neck. I think it is cheaper without lines?

    With 3-ply. But if you prefer without you do it without. It is your bass.

    Thank you for the #5. I'm new to TB clubs. Can I find somewhere on TB information about what a membership of a club means to me?

    This was my collection in september 2018. Changed a lot since then. Sold the Epiphone, the Taranaki bass, the Fender fretless Jazz bass and the creme SWB-1. Bought an Ibanez SRC6 and an Ibanez SRF700. I don't sell the remaining 2 Chowny SWB's. I switched necks from the black SWB-1 (that was the...

    I have the same problem. But I found the Ibanez SRF700 (which is btw 3,3kg and despite it's 34"), because of its design, as easy playable as my short scale bass.

    Ibanez basses are 3kg.

    Because of the short lower horn it will slip away from the lap easily. I often use an anti-slip cloth on my thigh to prevent this.
