Call that a TED talk? What did you learn about B2B sales and SEO from your test? (Actually, I love TED, I’m thinking more about LinkedIn - dare you to post it there)

It's because I used to own it, so it's become holy

The worst thing about eBay is having to find a suitable box and packaging up stuff. Almost every time I sell something it'll be shortly after clearing out loads of empty boxes in the garage that I think I'll never need! Invariably I end up hacking up a box that's too big making me feel like I'm running a custom cardboard box atelier boutique from my garage. Maybe one day they'll do what Amazon do for returns - take the item to a shop, print the return sticker with a QR code and they do the rest.

I’ve got long scale Elixirs on my Mustang and Musicmaster and both cope fine with the full width string around the tuners, even the smaller diameter Musicmaster ones. Unfortunately Elixir don’t make short or medium scale sets so it’s the only option but works fine, as long as they are installed correctly. Flats might snap though.

Butting in here but try Elixirs on fretless. Not only do they last ages but I think they’re a little more forgiving on the neck and the nickels in particular have a warm even sound.

Someone didn't read the T&Cs

I just did it here, quoting a quote about quotes

I always add a line under a quote (apart from here)

You guys seen this? Fender Japan are doing a signature Mustang with JJ configuration pickups https://www.soundhouse.co.jp/en/products/detail/item/370161/

Arise, Sir Spond 👑

Is it because you saw my fretless playing and thought 'can't compete with that' 🤣 Glad you're sticking around. My bands have come and gone but I derive just as much pleasure from playing along with stuff and noodling at home as I do with the faff and organisational nightmare of being in a band.

Nobody at work was as impressed

It’s a pretty ‘rickenbacker’ way to do a short scale. Wrong.

I go in cycles too. The temptation and ‘gadget factor’ of having a small box that does everything and more is cool. But I always end up using a couple of things regularly and not using the rest, then finding the ones I do use are not worth having a whole system for. I also like desperate pedals because they are quite addictive to collect and compare. Right now my board hasn’t changed for ages and I’m totally happy with it, but I have some other pedals at home for fun and mucking about. Also to add - it’s worth having staple classics like an OC2 and Big Muff, for example, as most multis will model them. Of course it doesn’t matter how close they are if you like the sound, but it’s just interesting to have the original thing to benchmark against.

Absolutely ridiculous. I want one.

What about Musicfaster (frets slow you down!)

Apologies but I had to try (I'll keep practicing)

Sorry for spamming this pair of late but here you go anyway

I could do. Years from now, vintage experts won’t understand why the mythical ‘ped’ only worked at fender long enough to make one neck

Hi mate just FYI the replacement ebony neck is for sale now if you’re interested. It’s in accessories and misc.

I've found 'the one' a few times, but realistically I feel that these offer a great balance between P, J and fretless sounds in a comfortable, vintage yet personalised package. My only advice would be to try as much as you can because I never thought I'd like a Mustang and hadn't even considered them before (you couldn't get much further from a Vigier Passion if you tried). These are the 30th and 32nd basses I've had - small numbers by some standards!
