Calling the bloke “Jaco”, as if he was a mate.

It’s the bare neck pocket that confused me, or is 63 before they used the stick to hold the body for painting?

The one at our rehearsal was a soft rock song, the guy just said what he wanted, what instruments/tempo/type of singer, and it did it. Re the clip above, it’s not the type of music I listen to so I couldn’t say whether AI or not, or if it is AI it’s been done well.

Welcome!

I haven't listened (no Facebook, I'm afraid...), but... Does it matter..? There has been computer-generated music for decades, a whole cult of '12-bar' formula hits since before the Blues, and, of course, synthesisers replacing whole orchestras. It's music or not, no..?

Any tort is better than no tort

@Mediocre Polymath I think white might work better - can you do a “dry” side by dude photo of black and white ?

This Lozz.? It's not the music from the link but.? Impossible to tell from this..

Really enjoyed “We want the funk” Currently watching James Brown Electric Proms, outstanding musicianship from the band, they are sooooooo tight.

I've made several smaller purchases from them in the past month. They've been quick, safely packaged and the price was good. I can't complain.

I have an irrational hatred for jazz. Literally any jazz (especially with electric organ/piano, or wild saxophone solos....just drives me nuts). I tried really hard to get into Jaco, Mingus etc when I was a beginner, but I just can't.

I can’t view FB as not a member, but chap who works at our rehearsal studio played us a song which was excellent, he just said to AI what he wanted and it did it exactly. Worrying imo

Hmm. Possibly obvious to some, but this.? Can someone make this music from AI. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/14KYBqWQsAv/

I wouldn't give up... fuses can degrade over time. An instant fail like that suggests inrush current. But could be a failed PSU capacitor, for example.

Looks like spots of paint or tippex on the neck dots. Clay side dots are very hard to see... I have vinyl dots stuck on mine.

The internal fuse looks blown. I've ordered some new ones, but I'm not hopeful that's the source of the problem. I think the fuse blew because there's a deeper problem.

This posted in the Bass Direct Moving thread, today, seems appropriate here.

It's a miracle if you can find the real stuff for sure 😉

The body looks to have the right pin marks top and bottom centre that would date it to the 60s. It does look to me to be as described. I could be wrong of course.

I am in the Spring Harvest camp in France atm. The IDMC Gospel choir are here. I do not know his name but their bassist is sublime
