Send a few to Scott Devine = great advertising 👍

Basschat fret wraps?

Oh yeah baby! Fab idea. I’m in 👍

I've just noticed Public Peace has a couple of new Jerzy Drozd basses for sale. Now everyone knows he is the best luthier in the world 🙄. Maybe PP are taking PR tips from JD 😂.

Is he cheap though? Just looking at the in stock Elwood's. They bounce between €1160 and around €1500. You can get a Sandberg California TT passive for the same money. I know which way I would go. Slightly off topic and slightly irrational I know, but the 'From Player to Player' thing on the headstock has always seemed a bit naff to me. I believe there are examples without it, may even be an option to not have it for all I know, but it's put me off buying used ones that do bear that phrase. (apologies to anyone who has one - it's just not for me).

It’s this one.... http://www.fendercustomshop.com/series/artist/dusty-hill-signature-precision-bass-maple-fingerboard-nocaster-blonde/

It’s not yellow, it’s gold and there are only 50 of them.

My Dusty Hill P has one, but it came like that 😀

Yes, you would have thought. I’ll keep you posted.

Nope, not there. It would have been on July 3rd, after the numpty who put 1 star and before @AndyTravis. I’ll be sending them an e-mail.

Great post @Old Horse Murphy. That’s basically what forced me to knuckle down with 5’ers some years ago. For me, it’s not something I could dabble with as I always found myself having an excuse to go back to the 4’s. With the 80’s band there was no way around it, well not one that I wanted to pursue anyway. That said, there are a few 80’s songs I still like to play on a 4, but they’re few and far between. Congrats on the basses, they look awesome. I have a Special 4. It had a few set up issues, but now I’ve sorted that out, it’s a real cracker. Sounds like you’ve really lucked out with the weight as well. I think that’s similar to my Special, albeit mine is a HH.

There was a gorgeous Carl Thompson for sale here a few years ago. Still kicking myself I didn’t jump in when I had the chance. Unfortunately, the seller has now removed the photo’s from the thread, but it was a stunner, to my eyes at least.

Before I do send them a rocket @ped, can you check whether my review has been removed. I can’t check from here.

I’ll challenge it with them and see how far I get.

Here you go, at 10min 40sec....

The OP did that already.

I wish I could find the video of that. It has a completely bonkers lighting system installed in it. All different colours and all light up randomly. Very clever. My take on one of his comic book finishes would be Batman/The Killing Joke. I bought a Ritter from @molan. If you’ve not had one in your hands, do yourself a favour and put it on your bucket list. Irrespective of what it looks like, it plays superbly, is fitted with quality components and to address one of the most discussed aspects of buying a bass - it’s very light. 7lb and change as I recall.

Have now had an e-mail from Trust Pilot stating my review has been taken down as they have been unable to ‘verify it’s authenticity’. I’m confused.

The next gig that I haven’t had cancelled (yet) is 25/9. I’m not overly hopeful it will happen to be honest as it would be inside a pub. There are a few other gigs after that with my main two bands, but we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m kinda resigned to this year being a write off.

Yeah, I just knew it wasn’t Gail and kinda guessed at Divinity Roxx 👍

Not exactly selling it in the description either. Doesn’t seem to know whether it’s active (it is, obvs) nd states it’s had an ‘overhaul’ 😂. Not posting from either. Good luck sir.

I love me a Wal, but no. That top 🤮

I was referring to the Neon's 😎
