Might as well considering how much the Mexican ones cost now!

Congrats! Nice and light too. You can usually tell a good one from how much it's been played. A little tip - Quarterpounders sound great with T.I. flats. The TIs are middy and fill out the scoop of the QPs, and the QPs give the TIs the lowdown booty that they can be a bit shy on. Great combo in a live mix. Just a thought anyway...

Good call keeping your Jazz 👍 If you want a bit more from it, consider installing a series/parallel pull pot where the neck pickup volume pot is. A Jazz is already wired in parallel (both pickups working independently), click the volume knob up and it will put your pickups in series (both pickups working as one big one, like a Precision Bass). The bridge volume knob won't do anything in series so you'll have one volume, one tone - like a P bass. A Jazz in series mode is a fabulous sound. Knarley and fat like a P but with added detail. Cheap mod. Plenty of how-to's online...

Lots of Lalo

Proper Eric Morecambe moment there! 🤣

I do but I've only just bought it myself. Bought a used copy cheap. My teacher gave it the thumbs up as it uses the Rabbath method rather than Simandl approach which is good but very dry for a beginner (his words). Easier to read from the off too.

Nick Oliveri (KYUSS/QOTSA) used/uses GHS Bass Boomers .115 and .095 for his C and F strings mixed with Ernie Ball Power Slinkys .075 and .055 for his Bb and Eb strings.

Rest in peace me hearty.

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

Wee update: I have a Lollar P pickup that I've been meaning to put in for ages but haven't got around to. However, after a recording session over the weekend I'm keeping it stock. It recorded so well with the T.I. flats, really pleased. A great match. If it ain't broke etc...

I'm already a fortnight up on last year. I can do this... I can do this...

Moove - Inspiral Carpets

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana. Halloween 1991

Or just use an appropriate size metal drill bit.

Yup. It keeps the inner child present and the present Victor Meldrew quiet 😆

Live Forever - Oasis

I never think about replacing any gear until I suddenly do. Nothing is safe.

Never played one but I've always thought that these have the best shade and sparkle of orange ever to grace a bass. Just right. (Orange is my favourite colour btw 😊)

Yes it's all about the moisture content.

I Am The Resurrection by The Stone Roses. It's definitely iconic for those, like me, who came of age during that time (especially the bass break which has been sampled a lot). Seeing the Roses was what inspired me to buy a bass in the first place so this one is kind of my ground zero. It's a perfect song (to me).

Brilliant 😂

Totally with you there, and been there too. Like the Beach Boys said, "I just wasn't made for these times". This made me laugh and sums up my own relationship with "Tech". *mucho swearing alert*... https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15RSjfTYm3/
