Make it so. I would be a very happy camper

Looks like you can use it while motoring up the M5 as well

Nice one. I've been trying to find a tube zipper, I wonder if this would be similar..

I believe there is a scientific law which states a pedal board will always be 1 pedal space smaller than you want it to be. So. Nice try D'addario, but you can't argue with physics.

Hmmm, that looks lovely. Trace-ish.

Never! I have an open marriage with Harley Benton. We're allowed to see other people

I completely understand those of us who see the bass as a tool - precisely as @TheLowDown articulates it. After all I'm the same with cars. Do not care how it looks, neither shape nor colour matter one bit to me. I can't imagine ever wanting to own more than one vehicle unless the 2nd one had a specific purpose not fulfilled by the 1st. Like a camper van for example. All that matters is I can get my gear in, it goes and is as cheap as possible to maintain, tax, insure and put fuel into. Other people adore cars, would own a stable if them if they could afford to, and wouldn't touch my battered kia with a barge pole. None of us is all one thing, we all share sone traits they just get expressed differently. A bass is a poetic tool to me. A thing of aesthetic potential used to create art with others. I take pleasure looking at it. A different pleasure setting the action and a particular thrill just holding it, before I even play a note. Having one television seems crazy to me. Having one in each room beggars belief. But I have no objection to anyone else having them in all shapes and sizes anywhere they like.

Yes!

I didn't originally because I was a kid and only had one guitar. But the first time I was left high and dry at a gig by faulty gear was the last time.

Ah, thank you - I didn't realise. I tend towards a wider neck, but I have to be honest I don't really mind.

All I'm doing is carving a headstock - but I will happily share my cack handeness...

Good to see you again WB. I too came back after a long lay off. At the time I had about 3 basses. Now I could open a shop - beware the Basschat marketplace!

I know a guy, and this will stretch if not beggar belief, who not only goes to gigs with his solitary instrument (no back up bass, no spare amp or cables) but actually sold his bass at the start of lockdown because he wouldn't need it for a while..

Now I just need the weather to improve so I can get out and get cutting.

Wow, thank you all! That's brilliant.

Ooh, sorry, I missed this. Thank you.

Absolutely - no rush!

That would be great, thank you, pm will work

Mmmmm nice

I do not understand the title of this thread.

Superb. I think technically speaking mine is a Detroit. But is that the same thing? Anywho, I have two from the Bass Collection range and both are keepers, no question.

As do I on any instrument. The thing is, because I'm not really turned on by the noise of a slapped bass, there is less incentive to learn the technique. Consequently I tend only to learn the bits of slap I'm called on to learn for a particular song. Not many of my bands insist on it. One guy did (that little run in Car Wash) so I learned it and can still get away with it. Otherwise I confess I don't really try.

Being a fan of all things Harley B, I am outraged at this sacrilegious defilement of a sacred relic. But seriously folks.... a great resurrection of an others defunct instrument. As others have said don't play down your achievements here, the work is well beyond what most of us would even attempt. And I know for a fact that these are very good basses, so you ought to get years of pleasure from it.

It's definitely happy!
