I don't think anyone else though you were trying to take over. Knowing you're not alone in a situation can definitely be therapeutic.

Re tapping and other showboating styles, I was around Edinburgh during the Fringe for years and saw and chatted with a lot of street performers, and I feel that short-form, algorithm driven social media favours similar tactics to that. A lot of the performers who could dependably draw a crowd weren't necessarily doing something you'd watch a 3-hour show of or have as your all-time favourite album. The "wow, he's doing what with the instrument?" factor tended to be the big draw that got people walking by to stop. So lots of slappy-tappy-percussive looper performers, gimmicky or extravagantly faux-aged instruments, quirky arrangements of recognisable pop tunes, an unusual outfit or vibe, etc. Grabbing attention in the short term is everything, and I think TikTok and much of YouTube works the same way.

Well, I finally got the Pickguard/scratchplate/Bit of clear plastic off (whatever it’s called)… I like it a lot. I might try the card trick as mentioned by @ezbass with some black card to see how it looks down the line but I do like it off for now. Got to say, I’m really enjoying this bass. The neck is superb! It’s a joy to play. As previously mentioned, the tone doesn’t blow me away and I’ll likely swap out the pickups in the future for something with more ‘growl’, but it does have its own unique sound, albeit a little reserved. I’ve committed myself to learn to read music this year outside of my gig stuff. And, I’m getting half decent. But, after getting this, it’s been like starting again. But, I’m really enjoying the process of learning, by forcing myself to fret more notes rather than open strings which is helping me familiarise with the B string more. Anyway, life story over, this thing is cool!

Tonerider Jazz pickups... how good are they really?
Sean replied to wateroftyne's topic in Accessories and Misc
We're going to be doing some J pickup A/B testing at the SE Bash. If anyone wants to bring their Toneriders along that would be fab. Obviously, loaded in a bass 😄 -
I have a Warwick Thumb NT4 i bought in 1989 and love it. Its a keeper and has one of the best necks i've ever played. Its just a bit heavy to gig these days and doesn't suit the Glam band. Did have a Streamer on loan when my Thumb was sent back to Germany after the electronic module failed. Sealed unit and could not be repaired locally back then. Dave

I opted for the ditto x2 should be with me this week. Having stereo gives the option of put another instrument in. Looking to having fun with this.

Good shout, I was wondering about replacing the single saddle but didn't think about buying from AliExpress. Cheers for that! -
Customish pickguard pretty much sorted, although unordered. Nice deep tortoiseshell. I'll give you this:

This jazz bass is a bit of a mystery. The person I bought it off bought it like this so he knows nothing of it either. Its an exceptional jazz bass. Looks and sounds gorgeous. It has had the following mods by the looks of it: 1. Metal nut. 2. New machine heads / Tuners. 3. New pick ups. 4. New active preamp. 5. Fender high mass bridge. 6. "Leo" decal. It has a gorgeous wood and is beautifully finished. The neck is one of the best shapes I've played. It's quite flat feeling and very easy to play. The machine heads have been changed, I can tell as one is slightly proud, but doesn't affect anything. The pickups are just lovely. Mixed with the preamp this gives a ridiculous amount of tones available. The front does a decent p sound. The bridge gives that classic jazz sound. The high mass bridge by Fender improves stability and sustain. The jack isnt on the control plate, it's in the body position. Its on the heavier side, I would say over 4kg. As I say, I don't know what this started as, or what it is, I just know it's a beastly jazz. Plays and sounds lovely, is super versatile and looks beautiful. I'm guessing but the price for the upgrades would have been expensive. Pick up Leyland Lancashire.

This is such a cool thing. Is a truss rod-less graphite neck possible? Always loved that aspect of aluminium ones. -
