I was enjoy the bird songs and quiet sound with a dash of humming noise in the garden sitting under the gazebo drinking my coffee until some **** decided to bang in one of the gardens further up.

In the punkyfunky and the funkybluesey bands most of the songs begin with a full structure written by me, but everyone writes their own parts with collective input. In the FunkyRockDancey band songs are usually started by guitarist producing a synth backing and sending it to me, then I add a bass line to it and that gets sent to singer, drummer and other guitarist - all this is by WhatsApp and email. These "jams" then become the basis for new releases and even get played live very, very occasionally (look out Chester - 11th October is the first public Weeds outing in at least 9 years!).

Is this the end for the boutique bass?

There are plenty of early Warwicks Streamers at low prices, pass on this one as it looks like a badly repaired wenge stripe, and as @Andyjr1515 said it's already expanding to the center maple stripe. The @simonlittle explanation might be the right one, but there's this crack in the center maple stripe indicating it's expanding.

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2024?
Al Krow replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Yes, indeedy! I'll get it set up for us towards the end of the year - typically Oct or early Nov from previous years. Just checked and it's been an annual BC thread now since 2017! Glad it's still a popular one. -

Not something I would normally gravitate towards but a friend needed the track for an educational project he is delivering. This is Paul Epworth's bass part for the Adele tune 'Rolling In The Deep' from her 2011 album, '21'. Simple but very effective. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/rolling-in-the-deep-adele/

I guess you meant luthier made basses upon request... If so, they are indeed not bought by those who think older is better, but I guess it's the only exclusion. -
I absolutely believe this to be true.

Careful what you wish for! There are 'nuances' of my playing that I'm entirely happy for others not to hear too clearly. -
Listen to drummers and write your own.

For sale I have my lovely Precision. I'm really gravitating toward my Jazz basses nowadays, so this one isn't getting out of the cupboard much. I dare say I'll probably regret this sale given time, but it seems pointless to have it gathering dust. Spec: Neck: Fender American Standard Rosewood dated 2005. Straight and true. Beautiful silky smooth finish on the rear. An absolute joy to move around. Body: Northwest New Ash. Originally painted with poly, it was fully stripped back before having some nitro / varnish thrown at it. It was then rubbed back to show the effect that you can see in the photos. It's stunning. No gouges as such. Some light scratches. You can see a natural shiny mark where my wrist has been sitting during playing. The weight is very light indeed. Custom brass pickguard from TinyTone recently fitted, which is starting to patina beautifully. I've black and tort guards that I'll throw in also. Pickups / controls: new Tonerider classic pickups. Solderless controls. All recently fitted. Cavities are all shielded. No hum. Metalwork: Gotoh vintage bridge. Gotoh vintage tuners. I had to reuse the original bushings for the tuners as the Gotoh ones were a touch loose. I roughed them up a bit. Looks fine I think. Bronze coloured control knobs. Relic pickguard screws. Strings: Recently fitted Labella low tension flats. Beautiful feeling strings. I'll attach a few picks of the various pickguards I've fitted in the past. Located in Thurso, miles from anywhere. Post will be required I'd imagine. I'd really prefer to send this in a hard case, of which I've none spare at the moment. I'm sure a solution could be found though. I'm not looking for trades at the moment. I've decided that 6 other bass guitars are enough! Any questions, fire away. Cheers, George
