Cheers for that mate. Good to hear. I am on that journey now so I will soon find out if it's for me (ETA roughly 8 weeks from now). I'm not in a band at present so it's just for me doing my thing at home or out at a rehearsal room with friends for a free jam. I like playing a mix between dubby stuff fingerstyle and folky banjo melodies with a pick so I should be good (on paper, in my head 😄) I've gone for the Retrovibe '69 something pickups. They can be individually wired in series so that should be interesting. Can't wait! A 4005 is my last bucket list bass to own and the first bass I ever wanted. Seeing Mani playing one with The Stone Roses way back was what made me want to play bass in the first place. Will do a NBD when I've given it a good go. Cheers!

Just checking in to see how life with your 4005 (tribute) has worked out for you as I'm hopefully going to be on the same journey...

Shocking news! This will be the end of albums having A sides and B sides. I don't like the sound of this. I may be wrong, but I feel we're on a slippery slope here!

The dopemine rush of acquisition > the joy of ownership. It's a trick, watch out!

Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You) - Chef

Fire Starter - The Prodigy did

Terry Callier - You Goin' Miss Your Candy man BAD. As in goood.

Yup. I used to be all about spanky active 35" scale 5 strings played fingerstyle. Nowadays it's tubby plonky sounding 4 string hollowbodies played with a pick. Less sustain the better. Preferably short scale.

Down In the Ground Where The Dead Men Go - The Pogues

I concur, Bass Buzz.

Peaches - The Presidents of the United States of America

I like the body shape, better access to the top frets...70s spacing...got a lot going for it.

Maggot Brain - Funkadelic

Mother of pearl pickguard to match the inlay blocks would work.

R.S.I - Karim Kamar

Damn...wish I'd thought of that!

Another solution.

Wow makes me feel grateful that my wife likes seeing mine out (fnarr!)

Sweet Home Chicago - The Blues Brothers

Noose and Sleazy - The Stranglers (Saw them live on Saturday - still frickin outstanding!👌)

Ah. I thought you were travelling TO that London!

It's a 70s MIJ Terada. A very well made Martin copy with lovely low action and easy to play. Sounds like it should.

I have a good one that you're welcome to loan Mac. I'm in Cardiff though so I don't know how helpful that is to you.

The dad jokes roll even worse before morning coffee! Wow...apologies! 😳
