I'd recommend the Jura, I find it really addictive. I'll persevere with the Stems, perhaps it was user error.

Wil bought an SGC Nanyo bass from me. Came to mine to collect. Lovely chap, great to meet you. Hope you enjoy the bass!

Just noticed this thread is still here. Just to say that the software editor for the minitaur has not been updated ! It still works on osx Ventura ,but not on Mac mini m4 . Not sure about windows ..

All of that is no problem

Im glad that melted plastic whale shaped single cuts won't be something you'll be doing! The less of them the better. It was mainly just about say changing electronics. For example, Hamers are (mainly) DC35s and a EMG BTS system. They did a few explorers and if one were to want something more akin to that than say Gibson type pickups. That was really where I was going. Or wiring the dual outputs more like a Rick with one being stereo and the other mono as another example which if the bass remained passive isn't that difficult. Frankly, I think your work is fantastic and were I to be in the market, I'd definitely be up for ordering from you.

Big Horizon (1st and only album) Big Wreck's new album 'The Rest of the Story' - great playing all round on it and nice bass tones e.g.

When times were hard and I had to downsize my bass collection, I rented it out to the US military to facilitate their extra judicial rendition programme.

How young is young? 🙂

Fairly common stress point where a cable goes through a gland, also happens on mains cable reels where the cable goes into the centre hub. This shows perfectly why we should regularly inspect our gear for safety or better still get it PAT tested which can also reveal hidden issues before they get seriously dangerous! As to soldering rewireable mains plugs - they're not designed for that and best to either use crimped finger terminals or just twist and double back the stripped conductors. In my experience moulded plugs are much more reliable although do watch out for dodgy oriental imports with insulated earth pins.

I find selling things is cathartic. There are two or three I really like but nothing (aside from people) is irreplaceable.

Already sorted with Mr Chilli! Interesting! Will send you a PM

Yep

Bill Nelson still sounding great, plus his guitar skills 👍

I've always been a huge fan of the single coil precisions and have owned 2 Japanese Fender '51 reissues, 2 Warmoth '54s and currently have a Sire D5. There's just something about them. If I had the money to buy this one I would gig it. If it breaks you can fix it. After all, how many people still have all of their original parts at 70 years old, never mind a musician's tool? 🤔😂

Last year, I was looking for the righty version of yours, these SBMM fretless Stingrays don't show up very often. There's already an excellent aftermarket pickup there: Should you need a preamp, I have six (yes 6) 2EQ to build with all the components including Radio knobs and the metal plate, everything you need, in fact.
