That kind of depends upon what kind of wife-related outcome you’d like when factored against the siren call of GAS if she’s a keeper you need to steer clear of wood-based purchases that are excessive in value

As new still sealed in packs, 3 sets available £11.50 per set including postage. I have been trying various brands of strings on a number of basses, whilst these are very nice I'm going to Dunlop's for my fretted Warwick. To my ears the Eden's seem similar to Rotosounds, maybe not quite as 'zingy' initially.

That's called a win-win isn't it?

Totally I played zombie recently at an OM and had to throw in a 6 quarter note bar as I’d overstayed on the previous chord. Still finished on time with a sustained open E to the pleasant surprise of the two acoustic guitards, one of whom shouted me to the crowd and the other fist bumped me. Personally I think the only bit that went right was that last note and that only by chance. Crowd went nuts which was a pleasant surprise theyre used to playing acoustic unsupported so they obviously have ridiculously low standards

Yes totally. I think im Right in saying that his jazz bass that day is the same one as the New years Day video

What a fantastic set up that must have been... especially if you were in demolition of buildings. I very much regret getting rid of my 1212L. Absolute beast of a cab.

He always does that, they are used to it. I thought it was a masterpiece of showmanship. The riff does vary a bit.

Once upon a time I was a little irresponsible.....Schroeder 4x10 AND 2x15 Where the heck did I think I was playing? Wembley 🤣 I replaced it with a "more sedate" Barefaced Big Twin T. 🤣 -
Don't fancy yours. Bass, that is, not other half.

Agree with you @paul_5 - also don’t forget washers mean you can drill 1-2mm up to give you some wiggle room.

Man, that's very nice indeed.... I had (and stupidly sold) a paisley Telecaster, and have wanted a bass in the same scheme for ages.

If, like me you're a big Primus fan, that's got to be tempting. But unless you're pretty darn rich I can't recommend it in good concience.

I've had great fun and satisfaction out of this instrument. It is much modified, as you'll see, and it took me a couple of years to get it to just where I wanted it. I've really enjoyed having it, but have moved on in my mind, so happy to pass it to someone else. Specs: 30" scale Semi hollow 38mm nut width Mahogany body and neck Maple top Bound fingerboard, not sure what wood (likely rosewood), 20 frets. Modifications: (loads!) Tuners - Wilkinson gold Y tuners Neck - I don't like shiny, so I took the neck back to bare wood, then danish oiled it. It feels fantastic, very tactile. I'm not good at fine finishing, so the points where I left off sanding are obvious (see pictures) Body - same as above, don't like shiny. Back and sides have just had the shine taken off, but I went to town on the top - took all the finish off, then danish oil. It's a matte finish that allows the wood pattern to present well. Again, see pics for a couple of bits where I went too hard... Tailpiece - I wanted to use a long scale set of TI flats, so fitted the tailpiece. This has worked very well, with a couple of unexpected benefits - the usual 3 point bridge 'problems' have been bypassed. Also there is a pleasing natural saturation to the tone. It's very much a blues bass. Pickups - as you can see, I've replaced the 2 mini humbuckers with 3 matching AliExpress specials. I really like the Thundertron vibes, and they sound excellent. Controls - wired the pickups to master vol/tone and a 5 way selector. I don't like positions 2 and 4, but each pickup on it's own sounds great - real plummy warmth from the neck, P vibes from the middle, and just a tighter P sound from the bridge. So there we are. I think it looks splendid, you might disagree. I believe the current examples have 42mm necks, so this one might appeal to those who prefer a jazz neck... Very happy to answer questions, or take any good natured abuse...
