See, I remember continually asking my mum *chokes on own vomit* "Are we there yet, are we there yet?" During long interminable train journeys only to be clumped around the ear each time which usually led to mild concussion and only once to cognitive and vestibular fallout. As a consequence, as I am sure Mr The Gut will confirm, I never pester him with such communications. As I have regularly said to him "You can't hurry quality." Not that, you know, I'm not dying inside but, well, one doesn't want to show it does one.

@Jabba_the_gut I PMd you but I am not sure it notifies you after a certain amount of messages?

...but will I be taking it home?

Well at least Jaydee are eliminated.

I am sure Mike will point this out nearer the day but if you have any long extension leads and/or plug socket reels then bring 'em. Mine is still in the car from the 2019 Bash!

Just a word of friendly advice for any new SWBB attendees. Last time I was in attendance I drove down the day before and foolishly ate a large curry the evening before the bash. I had no idea that lunch at the SWBB was a BIG thing, like turn off the amps for an hour serious . I'm not one to use capitals but in this case it is highly appropriate. The food at the Bash is a rare combination, it is delicious and there's tons of it! Due to the previous evening's curry I was rendered unable to eat the amount I wanted to, mind you I think I still managed to finish off an entire tray of roast potatoes, somehow. Mountains of excellent food, great company, a shed load of bass gear, tea and coffee on tap... In short, it's like you died and woke up in some kind of perfect heaven.

That is glorious!

Oh well, I gave it a shot!

From the Ibanez site...

In the end, action height is something you will decide only by trying basses with differing actions. Many players on here will tell you to get the action as low as possible but it's horses for courses. I never liked a really low action as I find it more difficult to play, also I am slowly using a higher action as I (subjectively) prefer the variability of tone that it seems to produce. Whereabouts are you @drummerdave? There are lots of excellent luthiers dotted around the country, we can probably recommend one nearby.

As a one finger player* I wish someone had said this to me roughly forty years ago. *fnar.

Oh man, that's sweet.

Maybe drop an email to Jaydee with some shots (or just a link to this thread), that way you'd get confirmation or they'd rule it out? They've been hepful and quick to respond whenever I've contacted them.

That ☝ is a Bobby Dazzler!

Excellent, cheers.

I do believe it is but was wondering if it was just a Status neck on a different body?

Just watching a Bryan Ferry gig from 2007 that's currently on BBC2, anyone know what bass this is?

My thoughts precisely, to me it looks like a Jaydee prototype but that's purely a response to seeing it with absolutely no knowledge whatsoever.

Always worth running it past @Bassassin...

One of the few vinyl records I still own despite having nothing to play them on.

Recently I have been making a list of my favourite (and formative) albums in chronological order, I am surprised that so many of them fall between 1978-81. One of the very best imho is Dirk Wears White Sox, to my ears it still sounds as fresh as a daisy.

RIP Drummie Zeb...
