Telebass

Build your own. I have a Mexican body and bridge, pretty much identical to a 70s bass. Because I also became enamoured of slimmer-than-usual Jazz necks, I bought an American Special Jazz neck in maple. Add suitable tuners, pickup to taste etc.

Tavistock. Unfortunately, the surgery has gone wrong, up to and including a remote possibility of not plyaing again...

I'd really like this to be my first bash, but the recent op means I can't drive, and possibly only barely play. I think it's a non-starter... 😭

Surgery done, very awkward typing this one-handed with my left hand. Now just the joy of waiting for the nerve block to wear off..

My triggers broom is a 2003 MIM P-bass, and the only original parts left are the body, bridge, and knobs.

And tomorrow is the other reason for going ultra-lite - reverse total r/h shoulder replacement. Should be fun. Not.

Whoever was featured, whoever presented, the programme wasn't made by anyone who had much of a clue about bass. Just like the general public, in fact... Still enjoyed it, just for its acknowledgement of our existence, if nothing else!

But think how my poor abused ears will feel!

The idea is to keep it utterly minimalist. I may even reduce to one cable and a clip-on tuner!

Certainly among the better forums I've been on, along with Cyclechat.

OK, not that fresh...

But heavier than the Elf-One 10...

Lotta dosh for an effects box! No, my needs are simple - the Elf will do nicely. P-bass - Elf - One 10. Job done, single carry.

It's a good rig, but the Elf is still winning in my brain...I'll never need 500W again.

TH350 definitely on the radar...but pricey!
