I highly recommend the Roland Microcube Bass RX.
Don't be put off it's 3" speakers though.

It's a repeat (unless it is a part 2). It's a good show and is about bass as much a just bass guitar, if you see what I mean

I've found that I get the best results with my Hofner Club putting the bridge saddles in a straight line and angling the bridge. Here's a pic...
(I'm sure different string sets will make a difference to the best way of setting the bridge so, for the record, mine are La Bella 760FHB2)

You need to adjust the intonation.

I remember seeing footage of him playing a Rickenbacker 4005 too, of all things.
Could this be the 4005 copy he played in the early years? Shaftsbury?

I'll be watching this thread with interest.
I've had a similar idea myself, with the intended use as an emergency back up bass which takes up minimal space.

Hi
I've been listening to quite a bit of Colin Grigson's 80s output recently.
IMO, he's a pretty underrated player.
Does anyone know exactly what equipment he was using at the time? I'd love to try and nail his tone.
Cheers

The simplest solution to achieve the same electronic circuit would be to put a splitter on the input of one amp, plug your bass onto one of the "outputs" and connect the other "output" to your second amp.
One of these ought to do it-

Same issue here. Android phone, Google Chrome app

Very nice, including the Ps.

Looks lush.
Out of interest, what's the difference between an EB0/EB3 and an SG?

I've successfully used wood glue and cocktail sticks or kebab sticks (for larger holes) on several bridges.

I take spare everything except amp and cab (I'd use one of our power monitors in the event of amp failure, plus I carry a DI box for pa connection).
I can't think of an occasion in the last 5 years where I've required a spare anything. My spares have been used to get everyone else in the band (including the drummer) out of a fix though quite regularly though.

It could equally be called the Stringed Tuba

Can anyone shed any light on what this bass might be? Woolworths?
(Sorry, only the one picture)

Spinal Tap. But they can go to 110%.

Oh, yes. That looks lovely.

Gibson Krist Novoselic Signature RD?

I've recently been debating whether or not to buy a bass vi, so in the sport of "budget bass vi" I knocked one up using bits left over from old projects.
That's an Encore short scale bass neck with two extra banjo tuners, and a left handed 80s Hondo body (wired direct to jack). The bridge is a cheapo hardtail strat replacement type. The nut is 42mm with "strat spacing".
Stings are Ernie Ball 6 String Bass (90-20w). The G is just long enough.
The nut spacing seems fine, the bridge spacing could do with being a smidge wider. Obviously access to the dusty end is limited.
Sounds OK. The guitarist in my surf band is using it on one song, through a guitar amp, as a "lead bass" kind of thing and it's particularly good for that.

My Squire Bronco is 109cm long including the strap button. Presumably this would be very similar to a Mustang.

For loading into your own car a decent gig bag should be adequate.
My concern is when I share with other band members and equipment can get a bit stacked.

La Bella Deep Talkin' Bass for Beatle Bass sound great, if you want thumpy. I've had my set on for 4 years, and they still sound great.
You can even here them here:
