Agree with Rayman. Taking the neck off, checking and replacing should be a 15-20 minute job and will hopefully bring peace of mind.

Hello Ben. Don't know where you're based, but as 'The Bassist' suggests, a visit to a well-stocked retailer might prove useful. I've said before, that Overwater make some of the best basses out there, so a trip to Carlisle (maybe you live there🤔), would allow you to try some of their 'in-stock' models, so you wouldn't be buying 'blind'. Also, Warwick can give you 26 frets, but the weight of a Thumb might be a bit much. Good luck whatever happens.

Never played a Ritter, but have owned one of their gig-bags and tried a couple of their chocolate biscuits. 😉

mate arriving - tidying? Incongruous? 😂

Year. You can tell by the cake. (Although, it might be the 24th point onto his IQ?)

Have a good one.

no. That's for his mother.

Celebrating Snorkie Jnr's 24th

Congratulations to her. Your bass collection can grow again? 👍😁

Thanks for the clarification. Every day's a school day. 👍

Did you see a stranger? 😆

I was 17 and the first number was Black Magic Woman, with me singing lead and playing bass. Sooooo long ago. ☹️ 47 years ago. I need to lie down.

I love a Thumb (Oo-er missus!) 😂

No you're not. I get it. I have been playing for 49 years and for me, many were just 'basses'. 😎

What a Difference a Day Makes -Dean Martin

Does that make it similar to a Z3 then? Not sure what the difference(s) would be.

Well, you've got plenty to keep you busy when the nights start drawing in (only just over 7 weeks btw!)

Yep, the Ashula is something I've not had a go on yet.

'Chops' don't matter in a shop. You are playing for an audience of one - you. See if the bass feels right and works for you. Buying a bass should never be interrupted by feelings of inadequacy. Go for it and enjoy what's out there.

That does indeed, look very pretty. 😎

Absolutely - it's what you make it sound like that's important.
