I've been playing my jazz the most recently out of all of my basses. I'm thinking about sanding back the body and staining it purple when it's a bit warmer too.

Enjoy! Good choice on the colour too!

I bet you could be persuaded with something purple, sparkly and with three pickups!

Rubbish! I hope you both find it has been worth the wait!

I'm the opposite. White/mint guards are very rarely acceptible to me! They remind me of cheap starter basses from when I started. Black is generallly my preference. Never had a tort, but I wouldn't say no if a bass I wanted had one.

She's Daisy Pepper. I think she started an online presence for a college course and is now a session bassist. There is a looper on it. It says "LOOP" on the front as a hint 😅

Apparently there's a bass synth on the GX-1B! Hopefully that gets moved over too 🤞

Versus the rest of the GX range, I can see a new drive: SA DI DRIVE This models a TECH21 SANSAMP BASS DRIVER DI. New amps: ACOUSTIC - Might be in the guitar list on the GX-10/100 This is the optimal amp for acoustic bass and similar instruments. SUPR FLAT An amp with flat tonal characteristics. FLIPTOP This models the Ampeg B-15. SW-TOUR This models the SWR SM-400. A new Glitch delay too. Hopefully they'll make their way to the rest of the GX range...

It was a good practice last night. One guitarist was trying out a new amp (a Laney Ironheart IRT-SLS) which sounded and will be plenty loud enough. The other was testing a new practice rig but managed to forget the power supply for his tiny pedalboard amp, so he was straight into the PA from a GP-5 but that worked alright. I was also testing out my Spector NS Icon with the right(ish) strings on, sounds great to my ear for what we do. We managed to get a new song ready except for lyrics, so that was also good!

Zero sugar, zero caffeine coke? They must hate you! 😂

They were screwed in on mine.

I did it on a Harley Benton tele I owned. I felt like it made it more resonant. No scientific measurements were made though! Easy enough to do with a hand drill. Just make sure you go deep enough for the threaded insert and then use a countersink bit to just bring the edge down a little before putting the insert in.

This just popped up in my feed and I thought it looked interesting. Adjustable from 15mm to 19mm. Should make some more basses useable for spacing sensitive types. https://www.fullcontacthardware.com/babicz-fch-aj-4-5-adjustable-spacing-bass-bridge

It's definitely the DB-500H. The foundry has black knobs and silver corner protectors.

There has been some talk in my band of potentially investing in an IEM setup with an XR18. What's the best way of combining the two XLR outputs to one TRS jack cable?
