As a time-served weight-saver, I'd take one off and weigh it, just to get a comparison. Good Luck getting Resolites, they're in very short supply right now (well, the 3/8 ones are, the 1/2 maybe not)...

Essential repair?

I have a scenario to run by you all (and I'm just speculating at the moment) - I have a Yamaha SB500S with a knackered neck pickup. I didn't break it, it arrived that way, it's second hand, it's no longer in production. I have the broken pickup with someone just now attempting to repair it, but should that fall through what would be the collective's thoughts regarding ways forward? You can't realistically get an exact replacement pickup for the current, broken one, but it is basically a J pickup in a bespoke Yamaha housing, because Yamaha. If the broken pickup is unsalvageable, would I get a pass from the jury if I was to get a Tonerider or something similarly inexpensive to replace it with? It's not like for like (other than dimensions), but I wouldn't be using this as an opportunity to procure some fancy, boutique pickup. I just want the bass to work properly again. I hope the OG pickup gets repaired successfully, that is deffo Plan A, just formulating a Plan B... Thoughts? No wrong answers (including "wait until next year, play your other basses")

Me too, I figured out that I preferred playing 5 frets down than using the G string about 8 years ago now, gave up 5 strings for good and switched to BEAD/Drop B, haven't looked back.

Is it my faulty memory, or was there an electric bass guitar with a similar extension? -
Interesting! Have you ever tried a Vanderkley 212? Pretty light, and second hand might fit the bill ...... Too late I know, but had I not gone the Barefaced ..... then LfSys Monaco route, I think that's where I'd be. ............ Good luck and hopefully it'll be loud enough!

It’s been a while since my friend Andy Anderson passed
we met whilst doing the Steve Hillage tour and Open album.
He went on to greater things including Iggy pop and the Cure. Watching him during his last days was painful but I could still see that cheeky look in his eyes he was a funny cat great drummer & I still miss his drums and craziness.Peace on you brother 🙏🏽

I use it a lot. We play original heavy rock, and because we’re a 3pce, I play a lot of chords and triads to cover the guitar during solos. Funnily enough though, when I was playing Stingrays I avoided the G like the plague, because it was weak on all 3 of the ‘rays I had.

I've quit facebook so that I spend more time here!
Racingbani replied to joe_geezer's topic in General Discussion
I know this thread is a bit old, but I’m curious how things worked out after stepping away from Facebook. Did spending more time here change how you approach bass-related stuff online? I’ve been thinking about cutting back on big platforms myself and focusing on smaller communities, so I’d love to hear if you stuck with it or found a good balance. -
The only reason I recognised it is because I knew I'd seen him play one. I googled 'Krist Novoselic bass -gibson' and it was the second image.

Yep he is a nice guy and an avid whisky connoisseur. He's been playing a long time too plus he's played in some really well known local bands. I've never actually managed to see him play with the Eagles tribute. Dave

Of course, the staff will think you’re likely to bump into something so will instantly give you their attention.

This is what a black eagle looks like in all of its fugly glory Krist Novoselic had one that he got modified with a rosewood board
