Love the colour, looks awesome! Enjoy 😊

What do I think of him? Not sure tbh; expect he's a decent bloke but haven't watched any of his vids for long enough to comment on his playing. I've heard of him, and we're all discussing him which I guess means he's winning in this day and age.

Bass looks great, by the way! Had my eye on these.

Those were the days; with exchange rates being favourable so many bargains were had (and foolishly parted with).

I think evolving in the face of local competition and from taking on board feedback from some who'd perhaps not had such good experiences. Just a guess though.

Fwiw I've owned both 55-02 and 55-01, both had very good playability, particularly the 55-02 which was a more recent one that gets plekked (action pretty much anywhere you wanted it) and no issues like the OP is experiencing. Very good basses imo

I'd imagine it's on the list, and if it isn't it will be after one of them sees this thread.

You know all the notes on the fingerboard? You're ahead of me then 😂

I've just been through this process with an old case that smelt mouldy/ musty. Febreeze was a misstep in my case (excuse the pun), although anecdotally others have had success. I felt it made it worse (like spraying deodoriser to disguise bad toilet smells), but it's quite likely I executed it poorly. The only thing that worked was a combination of judicious vacuuming of the insides and exposure to direct sunlight/ airing in my garage. I realise this doesn't help you much, but I didn't think the smell would ever go and it's completely tolerable now after a concerted effort.

Good luck with the surgery. I broke my collarbone some years back after face-planting off my mountain bike! I am also the veteran of many broken bones. I was lucky that the collarbone displacement didn't require surgery, but if they pin yours, then theoretically you might be able to do some lighter activity a little sooner. The critical thing as, everyone else is saying, is speak to your consultant and follow their advice. Don't jeopardise your recovery by pushing it too soon. In the grand scheme of things the weeks you may be out of action are just the blink of an eye, and you'll return to the bass even more motivated to get playing!

Personal preference?

Re. the 21/22 fret thing for slap preference, I feel the same way. It's too do with where your hand ends up relative to the end of the fingerboard. Feels more comfy and easier to stay loose than on a 24, in general. To me at least. It does depend on the bass

Yep, same here. Another legend gone, RIP and thanks for the music.
