Years ago I wanted big bassy 15" cabs which moved lots of air. Now I tend to want middy 10 or 12" cabs with a warmer more rounded tone. I tend to set my graphic as an inverted smile with more mids than bass/ treble

Don't we, as musicians, listen to more diverse stuff? I'm done with rock as a genre, especially the stuff that's drilled into your head by radio stations which is why I enjoy the "what are you listening to now " thread and many of the videos @bubinga5 posts. Opens my ears to new music and quite often my wallet to amazon.

I bought a set of EBS Titanium strings that never seemed to lose their zing - I sold the bass before they "went off". IIRC they were £20 off ebay. https://lordofthestrings.com/en/bass/electric/5-string/ebs-sweden-tn-cm5-northern-light-titanium-nickel-classic-medium.html

Need to bump for ease of access.

If I win the Lottery at the weekend I'll buy them all...

Ebony board?

I thought that RIC was just an abbreviation.

I wouldn't dare start a spreadsheet of gear I've bought and sold...it would make me cry. 🥲🥲

Short scale RIC copy for those who struggle with normal scale. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403989822983

Still in double figures but "trying " to downsize.

Bastard!!! It's times like this that you wish that karma was real. Hope you get your bass back and the scumbag gets cancer.

I have an aluminium Oakleigh flight case with the foam cut for a Ray sitting collecting dust. Sturdy, it would protect your bass from tank....

I like that.

Fender make some very affordable flats. I posted a link a while back but they shouldn't be difficult to find on a Google search.

The GA I had was pink. Sold it to someone in Russia...no photos available unfortunately.

So no definitive concensus... Try one first.

Keep the Spector.

I had one for a while. Aesthetically they are great but as basses they lack a lot. Don't confuse them with solid bodied electric basses - they're a completely different beast. I kept mine for about 3 months, don't miss it at all.

Thanks for these. I haven't had a chance to get into them proper but I'm sure that there's hours of practice ahead of me working with these. 👍👍

As well as being an amazing bass player he's a really nice fella. He did a masterclass at one of the early Herts Bashes and dropped in on his way to a gig the following year. I'd be interested in this event.
