Yep Jaco was an absolute genius with a 4 string - imagine what he could have done had he turned his hand to 6 string. I think if Jaco had lived most of us would have given up years ago with disillusionment.

I don't have big hands - for me it's about pivoting off the thumb. I have a 7 fret stretch that way (not that I'd want to play like that though.

Dum Dum girl - Talk Talk

Anders bought a Fender Hi Mass bridge from me. Money was sent before I'd even found it in my parts box!! If I can just get him to buy the Crown Jewels from me...😉😉 Trade with absolute confidence...

We are the Champions (the wonderhorse) - Queen

My mind turned to the Jimmy Summerville video when I read the opening thread.

Cymbal in my driveway - Jack Johnson

Everybody wants to rule the world - Tears 4 fears

"...a fool and his money are easily parted..." As I know only too well.

Loads of watchers/ bidders - this won't be selling for next to nothing as I'd hoped.

Furniture wax.

I was chatting with @Machines earlier about scoring a bargain. We both had - though his was the better score, I'd say. I tend to use eBay, Gumtree, Preloved, Cash Converters, Cash Generators and Reverb. Only recently started using FB - check these out regularly and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for - people are skint at the moment so liquidating their assets. Keep looking there is something out there for you.

I find this quote inspirational on many levels - it has helped me when I have been struggling with my bass playing too. Another inspirational quote I find, and I was tempted to add it to some of the posts above to help novices. "YET!!"

Paris Match - Tracey Thorn

Bb414 in black on Gumtree for £230. Viewing on my phone so copying the link is a bit of a pain.

Grandad - Clive Dunn

Probably going to update his skills with Fred Flintstone...

I'll just leave these photos here for now...

That's to do with the expansion of the Universe...years ago, when you were a mere lad, we would have lived closer together. Hopefully somebody here will be able to tell us by how much. 😉😉

Professionally?? Professionally you say?? You mean that you're actually making money from playing bass?? That's outrageous!! You couldn't lend me a tenner could you??

Well let's see.... He has the choice of 4,5, or even 6 strings...Fretless, fretted, slanted frets...fitted with roundwounds, flatwounds or tapewounds... Needless to say you've probably put a strain on his bank balance and, in the not too distant future, his long term relationship. They'll probably name you in divorce proceedings. Way to go... 😉😉
