    As you say, sometimes it works. I look at clips of bands like Motley Crue back in the 80s when they were drunk/drugged to the eyeballs and they were great. Look at clips since they’ve gotten sober and, well not so good would be diplomacy at work.

    I suppose that’s inevitable, less cash means treat it a bit more seriously, or maybe just a case of if they can’t afford ‘em they can’t buy ‘em. I’m sure there will be bands out there that still partake - I’ve seen a good few on the punk scene - but whether or not they do it all the time or just when gigging I couldn’t say. Never been my bag though.

    I’ve never tried to play it but whenever I hear the song that fantastic bassline juts out. May have to give it a try 👍

    The art of telling untruths is to make them realistic and believable……..

    I’m considering getting a cat when I retire, if I do I’m going to call it Hippo, give it an identity crisis.

    Not had one of those but the Vintage Tony Butler Precision I had was very good, these are similar pricing so would assume same quality.

    I have found the D & G a bit lacking with the band with stock pups, I’ve upped string gauge from 40-100 steels to 45-100 nickels to try and address this but did you find this? I ask as have been considering the GZRs if the string thing doesn’t work.

    I’m not sure to be honest Dave, but it’s been 3 out of 3 bands where people have mentioned it. Maybe it’s due them not having quite as much warmth & depth as my Precisions & Mustangs and being more modern sounding - which is ironic as all 3 bands have styles which peaked in the 80s.

    Just thought I’d mention this, of the many basses I’ve had the only ones that anyone in my various bands have ever said they like the sound of unprompted are my two Sandbergs, a California TT Superlight, and a Lionel.

    For the immediate I’d say put in a lot of hours on your fretting and try to change it to avoid using the index finger as much as possible. Might also be worth looking into lowest possible tension strings, just to make it easier in the interim.

    Nice!

    A set of 45-100 Chromes, cut for my Sandberg Lionel. Bought last week, with less than 2hrs use as no matter which bass I just don’t like flats! Price includes postage in UK.
  14. Lozz196
    One of the above, the 1/2” version which is compatible with Mexican Fenders. Price includes postage in UK.

    Nice example of a 2022 Made in Mexico Player Precision, and light too at 8.3lbs. Can do with either black tort or white plates as per pics. Holes in the headstock where I added the Hipshot triple retainer. No case or gigbag so collection/meet only. No trades thanks.

    Def, short scale much better for me now for both weight and size.
  17. Lozz196
    I’ve found that it’s the so called “normal” people who when they take stuff like coke that then become a-holes, punks/skins/bikers/metallers, whatever they’ve been taking whenever I’ve been around I’ve never seen anything like that. Even the hardened football hooligans on the punk scene seem to be able to keep themselves in line when drunk/drugged.

    I’m already out as am going to get myself a decent acoustic guitar in the next couple of weeks.
  19. Lozz196
    Am looking forward to getting my paws on the Sandberg Lionel Superlight I’ve commissioned, which fingers crossed will land by Xmas, other than that all I want for music and 2026 is rehearse with my non-gigging band and have a laugh.
  20. Lozz196
    That looks great, really nice vintagey vibe to it
  21. Lozz196
    Those are silly-daft weights, especially for nowadays.
  22. Lozz196
    Yeah I never really thought about short-scale basses, even though I leaned to play on one, til my back dictated the need. I was expecting a situation of "well that`s what I need to put up with" but was pleasantly surprised at how well they work for me.
  23. Lozz196
    The Chrome, a mate of mine loves them
  24. Lozz196
    Yep 2025 marked my 45 years as a bassist. I really should be much better than I am after this amount of time, though I can play what I need to. I remember getting my first bass at 15 and thinking “I’m now a bassist” and that thought has stayed with me throughout my life. Even in the times when I’ve been playing guitar in bands I’ve always considered myself as a bassist who can play guitar rather than as a guitarist.

    Mark at Classicandcoolguitars is a UK dealer for Sandberg, may be worth seeing if he can help on this?
