I have read this a few times and must get back. Magnetic pickups can catch very low frequencies, and there sure is the fundamental seen (/heard/caught). But how much less, when the pickup is further away from the middle? Amplitude is smaller but that is true for harmonics, too. (It is not even possible to have the pickup in the middle because that middle is true only for one single note, or the pickup should move.) Piezo is another thing because it listens to the body or the bridge.

Retired and happy arse shot!

Hello Staggers, a bit off-topic and a (partly) non-bass related question but since you are a bluegrass man, have you ever heard of the Canadian ukulele player James Hill? He plays bluegrass too, among other things, and he is an amazingly good player. I had the pleasure to see him and his wife Anne Janelle (on cello and EUB and with a fine voice) a few times at the Shetland folk festival in 2018 and they were superb.

I was considering at one point about asking Rob to manufacture a 12-string neck for my Lull 5-string. Pretty certain the neck pocket would be wide enough to go from 5 to 12 and the two part bridge could be swapped out to accommodate the extra strings. Obviously it would just be something that could be changed back to stock if necessary. I am think the oversized NR Thunderbird body would work brilliantly.

As far as I’m aware, Zero Mod will create and sell you one. You probably know that they are in the U.S. and charge a bunch for shipping (plus possible customs etc.). https://www.zero-mod.com/ric-rest-.html I am not aware of anybody in Europe who has one of these in their inventory. Maybe a modified 3D printer file? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2405790/comments I’m also looking for one and, as a last resort, might be able to sweet-talk my son into creating a file for a stretched version that would fit a V63/V64 series. Stay tooned.

Hi all, My 'Brooksy's Bass Corner' channels and platforms hit 5 years old today. It's been a head-spinning journey, that's for sure. I have a celebratory Live Chat over on the YT channel tonight from 8pm and I'll be running it via Streamyard so if you want to come and chat all things bass (or has that now officially been changed to BEHS?) either by text, audio or video, you're more than welcome. All the best, Mike

genau. This. ^^^ he speaks the truth. Apart from the “and selling” bit. That’s always a sticking point

You’re weird just fit in already

What sleepless nights?

Ooft, hang on Richard…tell us what you really think

magic arse shot.

And the right way up is perfect ‘arse height’ for me

Edam busters March - RAF band

That's horrible! As if someone thought : "How can I make something that's a bit like a child's drawing of her father's Ovation Magnum I?"

Interesting factoid…that combo on its side is exactly the same width as the bc210 and 212. not that I thought that was my ideal rig for a bit.

Just had a look and, yes, there are some lovely SLs listed there. I was particularly taken with the cherry sunburst VM4… yum yum yum… Not a fan of black ones but there were some nice ones there @Lozz196, hint hint… 😉🤣🤣🤣

Great stuff! Family first…….they always find ways to reward you and you can forget the sleepless nights.

That’s for basses right 😳
