    I’ve been round both these blocks. i used to have the ‘one eye reading, one eye distance’ and, as only an occasional wearer, it felt like you were walking round in circles for 5 mins but the brain quickly compensates. I struggled with early ‘versions’ of multi focal lenses so went back to one short one long for a while. Recently they bought out lenses for astigmatism so I now have one for that and a multi focal and I can see so well I’m thinking of wearing them more often. Anyhoo, I can’t see without glasses so play in them if I can’t be bothers to put lenses in ( or we’re playing somewhere posh and it’s unlikely there will be a fight 😂). The bass player is the studious intellectual anyway so we look cool in glasses anyway?

    It’ll take full scale, the biggest issue is the gigbag you use. I did travel for a while with a Fender Mustang in a Gruv Gear Edge and it was great. A short scale certainly won’t be sliding about in it, it’s a tight fit with basically anything I’ve put in it.

    I love mine. The auto gain feature is really helpful. Makes it really easy to always get it right. GLWTS!

    I mean I could.. Wasn't really planning on it but I don't think I need 12 DI’s

    Fair point. As above, maybe gigs is the answer.

    I opened mine up and gave the inside of the switches a good squirt of Servisol (switch cleaner) no further problems to date. I run mine on batteries, I find that if the batteries are getting close to dead the switches don't work as they should. Remember these aren't actual swiches, which are in the electronics, they just send a signal that you want to change something and if the batteries need changing then you don't have enough power for the programmable to work Paging @Chienmortbb

    I would ideally like one-band people, dedicated to the blues and backing us 100 per cent - no distractions. I only have room in my life for one band. We had plenty of gigs, but personnel instability had caused a slowdown. We aim to do more gigs and be more lucrative. People are willing to play for us, but they are already in bands. So while they rehearse, they don’t come prepared. This slows down progress, hence my frustration. Shuffling the pack constantly does so too, hence my wish to motivate.

    Lovely looking bass. As well as the truss-rod, do these have carbon rods reinforcing the neck?

    I actually prefer a direct sale, but it always depends. Maybe you can send me your ideas via pm.

    Some other options: Use bigger writing. Get a tablet on a stand and pretend it's controlling an instrument. Investigate autocue.

    Regarding specs, maybe ones with a heads-up display could be an option - they might even become a "look"!

    I tried some varifocals spectacles and they were awful: the edges of my 32" 4k monitor became curved and I couldn't read things by moving my eyes but instead had to keep them still and move my head to read; I also couldn't use my peripheral vision. I really couldn't recommend them less.. As for contact lenses: I was recommended not to have them for astigmatism, as every time you blink you slightly shift them. I think that varifocal contacts would exacerbate that issue and you'd be looking at the world through a wobbly fish-eyed vision.

    I suspect people will want far more information than that. Weight, nut width, maybe an assessment of fret wear. These would be the very least. My '71 also has the non-logo case. Apparently cases were sourced separately at the time. Lovely looking bass, for sure, but more information would help you reach serious buyers. I might also heed the scam warnings and put your username on a card and photograph it under the strings of the bass too.

    Hi I'm a freelance bassist with over 40 years experience mainly working in the theatre. I've just purchased an Ibanez UB804 Electric Upright Bass, which is what brought BASSCHAT to my attention. Hoping to pick up some advice, and share my experiences using the 804 in the pit. Thanks for the invite! Phil The Pit Man

    I did contact Epifani a couple of days ago, obviously it's the week end, etc.. but i'm on fire to get it done so, i'm just trying to hasten things. Unfortunately in my country there is no Epifani importer but my tech is super duper good but he would like to have a look at the schematics before tackling the job The use of it wasn't unauthorised, the guy was/is just plain dumb - upon seeing a speaker cable connected to my amp he still went ahead and connected the other amp to the cab because.. errr.... that's what you do ! I didn't bother asking him to pay, can't be bothered wasting time, getting nervous or listen to some stupid excuses, however from now on NO ONE will be allowed to use it and can start carrying back and forth their own 30 kg cabs. Needless to say, every bass player that rehearses there now loves him.....

    Yes that might just work 👍 I missed the original post so I'll tag a couple of other "locals" who might be interested @Yan_Huriey@jig@ToneFree@woodyratm Yes I did a couple of charity gigs and a number of jam nights with him. Lovely guy and very talented. When he came back to Aberdeen he played in the Gerry Jablonski Band with our very own @jig

    Only 2 of my electric basses ( and an acoustic bass and a viola da gamba) have those. I find they make things more difficult tbh. We are!!! Don't go!!!
