The way I have always interpreted the comments about sustain is that it sets certain basses apart from those that very little sustain i.e. the ones that just sound dead and lifeless. A muted sound has its place, but not a bass without foam under the strings.

Just showed it to Mrs.H and she doesn’t know who Ronn Moss is either 🤷‍♂️.

Ooof. Loving that 😍

Looks like they ran out of neck bolts as well as paint in the spray shop. I do love a Stingray, but I think I’ll pass.

Yes, we don’t talk about the Gilded one any more thank you 😉. Yes, the Flea broke, but it’s still here with its new graphite neck. Just need to sort out getting the original pick guard to fit. I think the heels on the Status necks must be a very slightly different shape.

Ha ha. I prefer a biscuit based chocolate snack, perchance a Twix 😎

Sorry @AndyTravis, it’s a keeper. Found it for sale in a guitar shop in Slough. Story was they guy who originally owned it bought it on release intending to learn bass and it spent the next few years in its case untouched under a bed until he decided to get the shop to sell it for him. I literally drove there within 24 hours of seeing it.

Never heard of Ronn Moss, but know the rest. Nice to learn that Norman Reedus is one of us. Love his work.

I've told you lot Forty Five Hundred Times to stop posting rubbish like this 😂

Yes, I particularly like this photo because it’s exactly like the reference I sent. Once the crackling is done, it’s going to look even more fabulous.

More photos from the paint shop. I’ve picked a few out of the vast amount that I’ve been sent. I know relicing is not everyones cup of Darjeeling, but I find it really interesting seeing the transformation from nice and shiny to worn in. Still waiting for the lacquer to go off properly, but just the shake and bake to go now. I foresee this being exactly how I imagined it courtesy of Professor David Wilson, Paintworks Dept, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

If the mp3 was pretty good vocally, then almost certainly there are shenanigans. Kiedis has been not pretty good every time I've seen them 😂

You’re very welcome. I tried my best to get along with earlier versions of Lemmy’s basses. Closest I got was a nice 4001 Mapleglo which I considered adding some bits to. Then one of these came up and I couldn’t resist. 1 of 60 and the first couple were Lemmy’s own basses. The hand carved wing sections are unique to each bass. There are also some with different pick-up placements.

‘Kiss Alive!’ and ‘Kiss Alive II’. The first album was pretty much all overdubbed apart from Criss’ drums. Go figure 🤷‍♂️. The second was mainly from soundchecks with audience noise overdubbed.

The fact that Kanye West features on the 1 to 50 page should give everyone a clue how utterly pointless this is.

Either that or notifications.
