I loved that clip exactly because it was played on a six string! I have been using instruments with six strings, both fretted and without, for a long time. It is so strange how some folks view these basses. They seem OK with a five string but a six gives them pause. For me, a six gives me a wider range of fingerings but it is still primarily a BASS!!

Not surprised 😳

Very nice indeed rich, your fingerboard looks lighter than my 71 -

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Stub Mandrel replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Apparently all BV's go through it (me and guitarist) and he's louder, but noisier, than me. To be fair, as it was my first time singing with them, I was holding back a lot. -
A couple of changes to my home/desk practice setup: Dedicated tuner allows me 5x separate effects readily available on the HX Stomp. The Element then acts as my Bluetooth/Headphone interface for practicing and learning tunes, as well as a DI/Cab sim for FOH if I gigged it. Can’t reach the amp out from the Element in this layout (because it’s placed in a silly place, but I can just take the amp out from the HX Stomp anyway, so I’m sorted. Si

This one is for a close friend of mine, he offered it to me but I said I'd just sell it for him and pass it on. Great condition, just a little dusty because it's been sat in a house for a long time and not out on the road. I guess everyone knows these; a great compact 410 that's plenty for gigging and is comparatively light and easier to schlep than most 410s (it's pretty much 2ft x 2ft x 19"). I had one of these for a couple of years and if it hadn't been stolen (not this exact one, obv) I might well still have it. FWIW it's one of the earlier Made In Italy ones, rather than the later Indonesian builds. I note they're around the £650 mark new, and this one's had very little strenuous use, so I think £300 firm is right, given the logistics below... Logistically I can meet up/deliver within a 75 mile radius of Manchester, I'd much rather do this than ship.

I scored a neck on Amazon and got some discount for... reasons, meaning it was less than £40 posted. It arrived yesterday and it's... surprisingly good. No ratty fret ends, truss rod works, it's a bass neck. LOL, what's going on with that stripey skunk stripe? I like it! Also over the weekend, I made a new cavity cover (or at least a template for one) Made by hand only with hand saw, surform and sandpaper. Took a while, but it fits pretty well - better than some factory made basses I've seen in my time.

The bit with no red under the pickguard isn't faded, the red never used to be sprayed in that area as it wouldn't be seen. -

Exactly what I thought. She may of well played a guitar through the amp instead of a bass ! That titting about on the fretboard doesn’t show an amp off for bass

This was on my board for a few years, never let me down but just fancied a change so I’ve got a boss chorus on the board now. The toneprint options make it a pretty versatile pedal, found myself mostly using the Duff McKagan toneprint. No original box for this unfortunately but will be packaged securely. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers

No criticism of the playing except, it was all on the higher strings of a 6 string. Hardly pushing a bass amp.

I can confirm this. The Enzo X was a missed opportunity for them to actually take some of the bass market; which is admittedly minuscule compared to the guitar market but…

"Gatekeeper" is a nice word, it makes me smile because it's exactly what I feel when I'm talking about my double bass journey. There actually are "gatekeepers", they have never bothered me since I've never seen gates.
