OK I see re. the old stock but I think they'e been making "identical" replacement bridges for a little while now.

This doesn't swing... (Sorry)

Erm... think this is old news with several YouTube bassists promoting Allparts as the spiritual successor for a while now. However one of their main advocates, Jeff Berlin going with Babicz....

Erm I confess I don't know his oeuvre but I did enjoy Eric Clapton's 'Rainbow Concert' album which I think might have been a benefit for him? Prepared to be corrected on this...

What a shame. Always try before you buy. How a bass looks is always secondary to sound & playability...

I want to fat-shame your bass. Bet it sounds good though?

Back to the OP - for me Jaco was like a technical upgrade in bass playing from 16-bit to high definition: rhythmic subdivision and authority harmonic sophistication melodic phrasing and articulation tone and timbre It was a revelation...

If you watch the full vid, they comment on how this works in conjunction with distortions - amp or pedal. Very saucy.

Not my experience. When awesome Mr Shuker set-up my ramped-GB, I went back to my Warwick sans ramp and it was like walking on a net where you keep slipping through. For me it's a different experience: without a ramp it's a bull-fiddle for getting physical where as a ramp turns it into more of a classical guitar. You might justifiably ask how does that fit with the traditional role of a bass but there we are... that's my take.

DDP is amazing but uses a thumb-pick here.

Like you I tried their website: https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/sr2405w_1p_01.html No weight but I looks like a saucy bass with interesting electronics!

Good heavens!

What!? It's a double neck Warwick as per the OP?

Speak of the devil... https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/warwick-thumb-double-neck

SFG obvs Who do you think you are? Elvis?

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Back to the OP - I've got another: Trio of Doom - sabotaged by Jaco

Electroharmonix do an electric piano simulator... maybe worth a look if you end up doing this for any length of time... https://www.ehx.com/products/key9

I suspect it sounds ok because you're new to the idiom and maybe your rhythm and swing is doing the heavy lifting. I suspect that the more you get into it, the more you'll hear some lines working better than others and those are the ones where you start to emphasise and anticipate the chord tones. Basically your ear will get sharper. Here's Jeff Berlin schooling a student on this very topic...

Saw them supported by 'Cry Before Dawn' - me neither. Town and Country Club I think. Miles Copeland introduced them. Stanley had about a dozen basses there... It was filmed and has been shown on telly but I don't have a copy. I don't think it was cheesy. This was actually what ended up from the 'Electric Rush Hour' project which would have had Allan Holdsworth on guitar too if he'd agreed. Anyway back to the OP and I'll go Golden Palominos.

Well I'm not short of opinions! Probably wont get to try one until BD get a sixer or the Manchester Bass Guitar show next March. Suspect the six will be in the order of £3.5 kilopounds. Possible more if Brexit actually happens.
