I traded with Martin on a couple of occasions - always friendly and honest transactions. Sad loss to the forum - a greater loss, I'm sure, to friends and family. RIP sir...

"Guitarist wanted" at the local music shops, rehearsal and gig venues? You can advertise on sites like bandmix.com but I've found there are loads of dreamers and time wasters.

I have the standard white rubber strings on mine. The trick seems to be to tune it and then leave it to settle for a while. The white ones cost around a fiver on Ebay, everything else is expensive in comparison.

This!!! Just under an hour of wicked phatt grooves...

I love the sound of a harp - this is just sacrilege

I thought you meant the plastic/ bone/ brass ones

The answer may be to get your a body and have one of the many able luthiers/ builders here to chamber it for you.

I'm thinking that there will more posts to this effect as time goes by.

They don't - once I got used to mine it seems so obvious. Made me question why any bass needs a tone control.

I have one of the original 1x10 which were normally sold with the BLX combos. No idea what it weighs but it sure kicks asss for a 10" cab...

Nice looking bass

Clearly in no hurry to sell.

I have a Squier Standard PJ - you can pick them up for around £150 - like B5 I was surprised how good a bass it is for such little money. There are lots of basses for not much currently that deserve more recognition - this is one of them.

I was thinking about one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282351153083?hash=item41bd70afbb:g:7CoAAOSwZQRYb8OQ IIRC @Dood did a video for it.

Shipping costs are the price of a nice bass..

Welcome back, Kev Hope that everything is resolved and you're ready to dive back in.

I like that green bass a lot!!!

Secretly a fan - George used to have an amazing voice. As you say, great rhythm section.

This'll divide opinion... Jagger / Richards
