I think I may have played this bass when picking up one of my ACGs from Alan. There was also a lovely green Graft Plus 5 string there that day as well. Fantastic looking Graft you have - I think this colour is called Purgatory iirc

Just reviving this necro-thread for a luvverly off-topic one: Mum: "John, soon you're gonna have a little brother, and you'll be his big brother!" John: "I dont want a little brother! I want a big brother!" Mum: "I understand, dear, but the baby can never be bigger than you." John: "We can abort him! From Africa!"

My Pingray bitsa is paulownia too and I often back off the bass control on the EQ otherwise it's overpowering.

I have a great app on my phone called Chordbot Lite. You can program chord progressions in and then play along. I'm sure there are other apps and PC programs but this is incredibly simple and intuitive to use.

Yeah, we’re pretty lucky most of the time, playing original heavy rock to audiences who often don’t know the songs, we go down pretty well a lot of the time. However sometimes it just doesn’t click, and on a wet Tuesday night the folks that came to see what was on just didn’t seem to be into us. Cest la vie! The band before us went down pretty well, playing kind of indie rock, and they were great, but our 80s style heavy rock just didn’t do it for them. All part of the fun, and I’ll take indifference over hostility every time! lol, because we’ve had both down the years! Thankfully the days of having stuff thrown are long gone! 😆

Amazing thread, following, it inspired me to order the Lowdown book, start simple!!

Bye bye....

Ahhh nice. Yeah, I really prefer the V body shape as well (or P, if we're talking Fenders). The Martin Mendez is close to my ideal J bass with the specs, body shape and scale length, but the pickup positioning is just a bit too wonky for me.

I couldn't find a JJ pup config on a P style body so I actually had a VS professionally routed for the TT pup config. I can revert the neck pup back to P and have the scratchplate to match.

If you own a double bass you are already deemed as ready by others.

Like @Hellzero I looked forward a fretless Ray34 and drew a blank. Looks brilliant, enjoy it.

Lovely! What is that TT with the V body?

Thank you for your information unfortunately my knowledge is limited…. I’m a late re-starter I dabbled with Bass and Guitar years ago but gave up for years and have started learning again at the grand old age of 64, always liked the Blues and was just dabbling, I would like eventually to learn some walking bass lines but over the Blues I think Jazz is way beyond my skill level at the moment. But trying to learn a bit of Theory.

My Sandberg 'Wall of shame'!

Fantastic pedal, this is the third one I've owned now. Yeah the Modualtion is sweet, probably my favourite part of the pedal.
