isn't there one of them built into the input blob? (its not a block)

Willing to bet that the American original 50's P was Hamsters old one too.

traded in, shop selling it with a cut, plus eBay fees?

What’s the bass hang up? P/MM with thr MM like the Delano hybrid system and a truss wheel?

I don’t think Hagstrom are Japanese - Swedish I think. originally around in the 50-60s and more recently revived the brand I think

I agree - by correcting it to 2x10 using the contextual alternative it makes it far more legible. @BigRedX - as a tangent, years back I worked on a load of booklets for a government department using FS Me typeface - it's really a lovely and nice legible font and really lovely to read. Also I didn't tire of it spending 4 months staring at it every day.

I turned off signatures years back. Really you don't miss much

luckly a helpful mod has merged your question into a thread all about what you're asking about!

I knew @owen and @ped would show up in this thread! @Ped - they slimmed down the L1000 and L2000 and used a "Mid 90's L series shape"

do you mean "metro express"?

Nah the Yamaha craze is a recent thing, a few years back if you didn’t have an Celinder or John Shukers phone number on speed dial then you were doing something wrong

It’s his club…..

Yeah, slot parallel to the string to have a fender jazz/precision type response, perpendicular for a musicman type response with stronger fundamental . oddly enough it did work!

Wait till you read Leo’s patent for the slot pole pieces…

Royal blood as inspiration?

and don't even try to keep up with what Andy Travis actually owns...

You know - if I were comparing South Korean fender shaped basses it would be interesting to know how Bass Collection and the Ashdown/Lakin ones compare.

I will probably never be able to get that out of my head!!

It depends on the church - in some a slick practiced performance a la Hillsongs is what they are going for - in which case having the songs beforehand is kinda a vital way of getting there. in other churches their approach to “spirit led” might mean the set list is twenty songs and nobody knows exactly what will end up being played. So a lot of thinking on your feet. ive been in both, both have positives both for learning as a player and also learning as a band. You know what, I can turn up somewhere, get a chart (or scribble one down) and improvise a baseline on the spot… now while it would be nice to have had the songs beforehand, I’m not sure there’s many other environments where I would have learnt that. Esp in a smaller band where you end up playing a major part it changing a set of chord changes into a song… im thinking of taking @xgsjx as an example and trying to play without music - which will stretch how I think about playing
