Oh sweet baby Jesus and the saints...

Excellent documentary, what a player. Spitting image of Nigel Tufnel as well.

Does anyone own, have experience with, or can recommend a short scale (30” or less) lined fretless bass, electric or acoustic?

I watched it arc through the air and hit the target so unless you are Toyah then I’m afraid it was another yob.

I once gobbed over Toyah mid-gig at The Rainbow on the 21st February 1981. I am considering making it a double in November.

I went from 34 down to 28.5 and the only difference was playing became significantly easier. I had no positional problems whatsoever.

As environmentally friendly as the oar might be, I too am relieved at the use of an engine in this case.

I am a bit of a train spotter so the Marine Traffic app is excellent anyway, I have a couple of questions about a fretless SWB so I’ll PM you.

Hurrah and huzzah, underway with an arrival date!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Sir, fickle idiot that I am I’ll probably get fed up with mine by the end of the week.

Put a post in the ‘wanted’ section, I got a reply within a day.

No, I am beginning to agree with you actually, which, after all, is one of the points of floating such thoughts on a forum, to talk some sense into myself.

It’s currently doing 0 knots as it is moored in Algeciras...

I did not, I stuck at it but the short scale thing has won. It now just sits in the rack looking gorgeous but wasted so I’m going to hopefully sell it on here.

I am just going to put mine for sale on here if you are interested?

I am awaiting a Mikro to try out at my local shop so I’ll report back.

The SRC6 is strung E, A, D, G, B, E but, in my bewilderment, the higher strings befuddle me, almost certainly because I am used to the wider string spacing on my other basses. I am probably jumping the gun because I’ll almost certainly get used to 6 and I have a Chowny Pro winging its way to me that will most likely satisfy all my needs, I probably am actually being idiotic.

They do indeed but I don't really want anything over a 30".

I know it isn’t a uke but I own a Taylor GS Mini-e Bass which is superb, might it be an option?

See I like and will keep the 6 but I might, if no other option is available, actually buy another SRC6 and just have it strung with 4...
