I have exactly this one. It isn’t heavy. I’d buy another in a heartbeat

I know a double bass luthier (he built his own cello from lumber), I c as n ask what he recommends

Where did I put that kindling? stake ? Check matches ? Check howling mob? Check

@neepheid reads my mind once more. I have an additional perspective; if I use household money to buy something for a song (stupid end-time on eBay, grubby but polishes up etc) and I like it, I keep it. I’d never treat myself to something at market rates . Management is aware of that. I have an understanding with management that if I make money on shifting something I bought cheaper (but don’t like) then I give back the purchase price plus the profit for the general good. I’d never knowingly sell for more than a “basschat price” however. I feel fairly comfortable with the morals of this.

Yes. #sorted

That is three words I never thought I’d see adjoining each other 😛 like scenic, safe, Ilkeston

Youre clearly a witch and must be burned how dare you suggest that there is zero practical difference between two choices ? you’ll be trying to tell me “old wood” is fundamentally different to slightly less old wood next 🤷‍♂️

In a very small car, so theres just enough space for a sandwich as @rwillett has pointed out some major advantages of doing that

Yes I’d put a smear of silicon under the tuner plate to hold it down i avoid drilling holes if possible

If it’s just one per tuner I’d just leave them out

I’d pay a fiver to not see you play 😝

Nope Judging by “them changes” youre doing fine

I’d like one, if I were still playing 4 strings. Totally 5 now. Green would be my choice as the others are just a bit 1987 Ibanez

For £700 a scratch plate wouldn’t bother me. It’s the more important parts that I think are amiss.

He may not know mine were pretty good

Serial not found is a big red flag the blocks probably are stickers, but the ferrule and string retainers look a bit hooky to me, exactly as they did to @HeadlessBassist I’d say it was a bitsa

Drumroll… then cymbal
