Or Markbass. Truth is, it is very hard to design a headstock that isn't a Fender style or one that most think is awful.

We played Bootleg Social Club in Blackpool on Saturday. It's a very cool venue. No other drummers so I could leave everything set up, which is always a big bonus for me. The two acoustic acts were ace! I was a bit worried 'cos I've not been playing at all. I am not gig fit! I warmed up for hours before but still ended up with cramp towards the end of the 20 song set! It was great to be back out gigging anyway. I'll do my best to take photos and keep up to date on here

One jB per bean, but they work on the same principle as dBs, so you’d need 3 for double attenuation

Clampdown - The Clash

First Gig of the year for our six piece, centre of Hull. we have a residency there- once a month ( residencies have changed over the years ! ) Our Dep drummer did great and was a great change having a drummer that actually speaks. My thoughts were that it was going to be a quiet night but seems most of the punters in the Town centre noticed we were on and a full house was experienced by the band. We all played great and after a good soundcheck sounded spot on. Some good comments on my Bass tone- first gig with my Origin Bassrig 15. Sounded epic with my fender Jazz Ultra 5 string. Should be a good gig this one, easy to load in and park, which after doing this for 40 plus years is a real positive!

Vices - Slayer

Cigarettes & Alcohol - Oasis

Not Alpher, but more reminiscing of the Peavey Rudy Sarzo headstock to me, especially like here...

Thanks guys. Sorry, my post might have been misleading - I’m not thinking of selling. I think this bass will go to my grave with me! I’d also have no clue what it’s worth.

Buy a 3 strings bass, or start a D-A-D cover band. 😂😉 Funny as it's often the opposite, the thicker string being used as a thumb rest... Strange that you find that the notes normally played on the G string sound better on the D string as they lack depth and harmonics (you can't change the laws of physics). That said, if it suits your needs and playing, why bother except for that unused string you throw away at each strings changing. Perhaps, just buy 3 new separate strings instead of a full set or ask Newtone to make you 3 strings sets. PS: I've always used all the strings on my sixer (fretless) basses, but that's the way I play and I guess that's certainly why I exclusively play piano now as I wasn't a frustrated guitarist, but a frustrated pianist. 🤦🏻🤪😂
