Ok, just for fun, building on the other Basschat Top Trumps thread, put your best bass forward! Number of strings: Number of frets *1: Scale length *2: Number of pickups: Number of controls (switches/knobs) *3: *1 - for fretless, number of 'frets' playable on the fingerboard; give yourself a bonus of +2 if it's unlined with dots, and +4 if completely unmarked! *2 - longest scale if multiscale *3 - count stacked pots as 2

That kind of depends upon what kind of wife-related outcome you’d like when factored against the siren call of GAS if she’s a keeper you need to steer clear of wood-based purchases that are excessive in value

That's called a win-win isn't it?

Totally I played zombie recently at an OM and had to throw in a 6 quarter note bar as I’d overstayed on the previous chord. Still finished on time with a sustained open E to the pleasant surprise of the two acoustic guitards, one of whom shouted me to the crowd and the other fist bumped me. Personally I think the only bit that went right was that last note and that only by chance. Crowd went nuts which was a pleasant surprise theyre used to playing acoustic unsupported so they obviously have ridiculously low standards

Yes totally. I think im Right in saying that his jazz bass that day is the same one as the New years Day video

What a fantastic set up that must have been... especially if you were in demolition of buildings. I very much regret getting rid of my 1212L. Absolute beast of a cab.

He always does that, they are used to it. I thought it was a masterpiece of showmanship. The riff does vary a bit.

Damn

She can always get another husband with cheaper hobbies

Once upon a time I was a little irresponsible.....Schroeder 4x10 AND 2x15 Where the heck did I think I was playing? Wembley 🤣 I replaced it with a "more sedate" Barefaced Big Twin T. 🤣

Don't fancy yours. Bass, that is, not other half.

Agree with you @paul_5 - also don’t forget washers mean you can drill 1-2mm up to give you some wiggle room.

Everything Must Go- Steely Dan

Man, that's very nice indeed.... I had (and stupidly sold) a paisley Telecaster, and have wanted a bass in the same scheme for ages.

If, like me you're a big Primus fan, that's got to be tempting. But unless you're pretty darn rich I can't recommend it in good concience.
