Please someone correct me if they know better, but I think this is a JM5, not a TM5. They were called JM back in the day, when they had that particular shaping in how the scratchplate joins with the controls. I’m only calling this out because JMs are bloody hard to find now! -

I think it has an Aguilar OB-2. It’s active with a switch so you can also play in passive. Devize manufacturer in Japan renowned for making quality instruments. Regards David -
He would have been 30 when private acts of homosexuality were decriminalised. I can understand why people over 60 have such entrenched views. Note: The actual law wasn't repealed until 2013! Up until then you could still be imprisoned for life for certain practices. It's going to be another 50 years before people will accept Gender and Sex are different and that both are not Binary. Science is slowly discovering how it all fits together, but while the politicians are in charge, it's going to be popular opinion and 'feelings' that determine the outcome of any debates, not the science and logic. The likes of Piers Morgan and LBC aren't going the help as they make a living by causing division. -

Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollow Body Short Scale Bass
Pinball posted a topic in Basses For Sale
Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. A Beautiful bass bought from here in 24, with a great sound, which I am just not using much. It is the real deal with gorgeous looks and construction in my honest opinion. Someone out there will love it. It is also loud enough to practice with without an amp IMHO! Happy to post as it comes with a generic hard case that fits archtop basses "The Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollow Body Short Scale bass guitar has a comfortably short scale at 30.25", and is armed with two powerful "Black Top" Filter'Tron™ bass pickups, giving it an electrifying deep-end voice and identity. The double-cutaway hollow and bound body offers full bass tone and balance, and is finished in Transparent Red." Note: I have been asked about neck dive, just in case you are worried about that this is my answer. "I can't say that it has bothered me,. Being an true hollow body/archtop It is very light and hangs horizontally, but it feels normal to rest my right arm on the body, which pushes the neck upwards to a comfortable, natural playing position. It also feels good sitting down. I imagine that the longer scale Gretsch hollows may have serious neck dive". G5442BDC Spec sheet.pdf-

Hi, using my trusty scales, it weighs in at 4.2 KG, which rounds up to 9.3lbs Not sure but it has Bart pickups, which is the same as the later models e.g. SR5005. I would guess late? -

My first time doing a proper playthrough vid - this is me playing my band, Earthbound AD's new single, Ashes Of Paradise. Some six-string fretless metal action for you all. The video/audio sync does seem to drift a little as the video goes on though, which is weird. The audio is right, the bass recording is right, but the video doesn't quite match the sound, so I need to work out why that is. But I think it's a reasonable first attempt.

Just as well you're not a Trace Elliott fan.

My dad, who died less than a year ago at 92, used to tell a story. When his brother was a baby and he was about 12, a minister who was visiting the parish called round. My grandmother offered him the baby to hold, and while he was holding my uncle, he started crying. It was the first time he'd ever been offered to hold a white baby. Old people grew up in a time of casual racism, but not all old people are racists. -
I played on the country music club circuit for a few years, and the target audience was mainly 70+ with the kind of outlook that you might predict. I joined a band where it became apparent that the drummer was very much of the persuasion (how can I put this?) ‘Stop the boats’. Now and then we’d work with another musician - let’s call him ‘Ken’ - who got frozen off Facebook for a month for his unsavoury comments about the adherents of a certain religion prevalent in North Africa and the Middle East. The band and WAGs were around a table in a break discussing an upcoming gig, and Mrs Axe asked, ‘Will racist Ken be playing?’ The drummer’s face was something to behold! I’m aware that some musicians that I play with hold political opinions far removed from my own. The same goes for some members of my extended family. I didn’t know the musicians’ views before I started playing with them, and my family are my family come what may. Online, it’s easy to end up in a bubble where we only hear our own views reflected back at us. In the real world I prefer to avoid that. But if a band is looking for players on the basis of a particular world view that jars with me - for example conspiracy theories, which I’ve seen more than once - I’ll give it a miss. -
I've not heard that term before - every day's an education (to someone with an open mind). -
But an open mind shouldn't be an empty mind.
