Some nice basses, man!

Just as a heads up, though, you can link a ton of pictures in each post, so you could have put all of those in just one. Now you'll know for next time.

 

[Raw N Low]

Sorry for the multiple post, I'm new to this.

 

[ped]

wow,i've never seen these before...!
idk why but i really like them,especially the fretted one.i also think a fretted black one would be cool too.what is the tone like?? (i'll make a guess and say...a cross between a ric and a wal..?!..)

Hi mate

They are my babies and having tried a lot of other basses these are the ones that suit me best. The neck on the fretted is graphite and the fretless has a graphite/maple mix that they call the 10/90. The fretted also has the Roland GK setup so I can play stereo polyphonic synths and so forth. The fretless will have one soon, too.
Here are a couple of quick sounds of the fretted and fretless:

I'm still utterly in love with that fretless.


Ugh, GAS!

Cheers - it probably will irritate you to know I came close to selling it recently. I fancy a new car and I haven't been playing it much. However I have just restrung it with the strings I always used to use on it (Marleaux rounds) and were back to old times. I was using some Optima Gold strings previously which looked great but just didn't feel as supple as the Marleaux strings. Makes all the difference on this bass, it seems.

The right strings make all the difference in the world, indeed.

Just getting back into playing.... here's my new setup. Fender P Bass Deluxe and a Markbass CMD 102P

I have always loved that Vadim Custom 6 string. That is one sweet bass you have there CrispyDelicious. One of the best tops I have ever seen on a bass. Also, I really like that Fender custom you have.

+1 I love that bass.

Crap, thanks guys! It's almost a shame about that Fender; it hasn't seen much action since I got the Vadim.

Anyhoo another Vadim shot for posterity:

That is the most beautiful bass guitar I've ever seen. I'm going to check some of Vadim's stuff out.
