    NBD: BlackStar CarryOn Sub-scale

    Yeah, it's definitely a cool travel bass for those reasons. Also, I talk about the pickup position in the video, which is definitely pretty close to the bridge. This produces a pretty unique sound, different than all my other basses. It has the percussive element of a J bridge pickup, but...

    Sorry for the late reply. I didn't see the notification. Anyway, this bass is definitely a good alternative to a u-bass for travel. You can actually practice some technique on the Blackstar, which isn't really possible on a u-bass. It's definitely cool.

    That's a drag. There are some options available, but they are either expensive or hard to get. This looks interesting but I don't know if they would ship it to me Clifton 32 Inch Mini Bass Precision Bass | Lazada PH

    Carryon by Blackstar Mini-bass

    Oh, I see that you posted that in your earlier comment too, my bad. It's strange that there would be a difference in our weights. I wonder if my scale isn't accurate enough. I don't find the bass heavy for my uses, but I totally understand your concern due to baggage allowances. That's a...

    Carryon by Blackstar Mini-bass

    I haven't received mine in the mail yet, so I'm assuming you meant to reply to another user. That being said, the basses on Blackstar's site seem to have a picture with the normal logo, plus a pickguard. The picture on the Carry On site, have the words on the headstock and are without the...

    Just wanted to chime in here. Blackstar is sending us a Carry-On ST Bass for review, so stay tuned for a in-depth look and unbiased opinion. We'll be reviewing the playability as well as comparing it to some other basses (long and short scale). We should be receiving the bass soon and then...

    Filming Jimmy Haslip's masterclass tomorrow. Any questions you want me to ask?

    Hey All, I'll be filming a bass masterclass video with Jimmy Haslip tomorrow and I'll be asking him a bunch of questions for the video lesson, etc. As a bassist myself, I have a handful of questions together already, but I figured I'd ask you all... Do you have any specific questions about...
