  1. Exactly what @Newfoundfreedom said. I owned the SS Jag and got rid of it within a month or two, I tried the Gretsch just a week or so back and it is delicious, trounces is the right word.
  2. Jazz Cabbage. Title of my debut album, there...
  3. Should be In Walked Bud, obviously. Began transcribing this during my bass lesson today, foolish move...
  4. Someone reminded me about it the other day, I'd completely forgotten about it!
  5. I wish I could find a sunburst Jaguar like that, I might be tempted!
  6. I can't sing and barely play bass, I dread to think what the two combined would sound like!
  7. Typical me, speaking too soon, not got the Gretsch yet. Haven’t had a chance to get up to Bass Direct yet, there are a couple of short scales I’d like to try up there first.
  8. You’d need binoculars to see your clip on tuner.
  9. I have to say PMTs stock system just seems to be a random display of virtual items displaying anywhere across their estate which appears to bear little or no resemblance to where any physical items are, even the staff in my local branch seem befuddled and exasperated by it.
  10. I play chords and double stops, thing is I’m £1100 short! Mind you I’m selling things with wild abandon in order to buy this...
  11. A Rob Allen Mouse was my Damascene moment, I had three fretless basses previous to the Mouse, all of which I really struggled with, the Mouse, however, just felt like being freed up. Fretted basses feel restrictive and unexpressive now.
  12. I’ll let you know onc mine’s on!
  13. I’m not looking for anything that doesn’t drop in. I won’t be fitting it so more drilling is more work and, as you said before, it will cost a lot anyway with the Babicz!
  14. Thanks for this Sir. I’m already quite taken with the black Babicz but very interested in the other options, hmmm.
  15. This is true. I do have a tuner that’s on all the time but I find myself referring to it rarely initially it gave me confidence but you are quite right, nothing beats actually refining your musical ear. A tuner can be a tool to achieve this refinement rather than something to rely on instead of improving one’s ear.
