Yes, 1.5" at the nut is Jazz size. It's very comfy to play 👍🏼

Great musician, singer & frontman. But a total bellend of a person who supported apartheid.

I haven't lemon oilled it for a while, and the photo is only a phone photo, so all those things could affect the colour, although just checking against a Gibson ES135 and Fender Jap Jazzmaster, it is slightly lighter than the fingerboards those two

Nothing intrinsically wrong with Fender basses, but why would I buy one when I can buy one of these instead?

A good telecaster is a thing of beauty. As it happens swapping instruments for a bit has got me writing again and I haven't done that for ages. I still have my favourite bass kit, but at the moment I'm looking at it as part of composing rather than being a bassist. I might even record some of it if I ever get a week off work.

Thanks for the replies So after giving it some thought I decided to go for a bass tube screamer, my thinking being that it was better to go for the one I wanted than you go through a few different pedals to settle on one that I liked. Starting to regret it now though. I could not find anywhere in the UK that had one in stock so I ordered from musicstore.com (formerly DV247) as I decided I was fine to wait the 3-4 days quoted. A week goes by and I speak to UPS who tell me the parcel is pending customs clearance, the person I speak to seems nice but clueless so I decide to email musicstore.com to see if they can investigate at there end to see if there is anything they can do( have dealt with ups loads in the past and it's very common for them to be missing documents and not bother to contact the sender to resolve) Musicstore emails me and tells me they cannot do anything to speed up delivery times, the next day I receive an email from another staff member at musicstore who says that the parcel is with ups and customs and they are speaking to ups to resolve. Ups emails me and asks me for a copy of the invoice which I email them, a few days pass and I email them to chase up and they again request the invoice despite me sending them this days ago so I send to them and tell them that I sent this to them already Emailed musicstore to tell them this and hoping that they will then put pressure on Ups to resolve this, 2 days passes and no response, is now today's date and I email both Ups and musicstore as it's now 2 weeks since I placed the order. Musicstore emails me and tells me that they cannot do anything to speed up the delivery. I know delays happen but I can't help but feel this has been handled pretty badly and had I known 3-4 days would turn out to mean 2+ weeks I would have looked at alternatives.

Well it turned up this morning It's ex Demo but in great condition I might try it out this afternoon, when I get back from shopping er work!

For me, the worst overplayer I went on stage with was a flute player when I was in college and we had an asignment to rehearse and play a gig. We practised all term, had a handful of nice numbers (Watermelon Man and a few other lively jazz tunes). The flue player didn't turn up to the practise sessions, but turned up to the gig and played ALL OVER EVERY PART OF EVERY SONG TWITTERING AWAY LIKE A PARROT ON METH. I could have twatted him with a mic stand.

I am not an Adam Clayton fan. I don't like his basslines. He's a multimillion selling artist in one of the worlds biggest bands and I play the occasional pub gig, but still, I don't think slapp bass would be an improvement.

I don't think Ozzy and Dio were particularly friends either.

It allows the valves and other parts of 1940s/50s amp designs that get hot to hang down into the speaker compartment where they can dissipate the heat more easily.

Thanks. I should clarify that it’s just going to sit between the EBS and my computer interface. I’ll take the headphone feed off the interface so no need for any headphone socket etc, although obviously i can just ignore that part. Also needs to be mains powered so i dont have to unplug anything when not using it. I see that NUX do one called Pulse. A bit more than i was hoping to pay but as i already love the IR’s in the MLD maybe that one will be better.
