    Uninterestingly, Lemonsole, Blake & Farmer were originally called Follow The Ostrich and unfortunately their first album of bland psychedelia was called the same. Bonus Fun Fact... Wantage is in Oxfordshire.

    I agree with the very sensible comments above, I used to think about upgrades before even buying sometimes, but invariably left them as is. With Fenders I've only ever had to stop hums or noise, none of them ever needed anything replacing. Get the bass and play it for a good while, then, as @Crawford13 says if you like it then think about any deficiencies, if you don't like it, sell it on unmodified. Important to remember modified basses have a lesser resale value and are more difficult to sell.

    It's 00:16 and I've just read this entire thread from start to finish twice and, guess what? I'm going to read it again.

    The fretted spalted Jabba bass I bought (to tide me over until I have these two beauts) has fully converted me. As I've said before countless times I was (or so I thought) perfectly happy with the Rob Allen until I played @wrinkleygit's Jabba Fretless, I couldn't believe anything could top it but the Jabba bass was better and clearly so. The fingerboard and necks are divine, as is the rest of the bass. Despite having asked specifically for thumb rests, I've found the design kind of makes you play over the bottom of the fingerboard which sounds lush.

    Are you both talking about the Harlot I bought from @TheGreek?

    ...and from the above it looks like it's the best decision I ever made!
  13. Frank Blank
    Absolutely. It was playing yours that got me in this mess!

    I watched this the other day followed by I Dream of Wires, a very detailed documentary on synthesisers, particularly modular synthesisers. Two very good documentaries.

    ***SOLD*** ACG Recurve Short Scale (32"). Details on the ACG site here No trades thanks. You are welcome to come to my home in Southend to try out and pick up the bass or meet/drive to drop off. I am happy to discuss delivery but I am also happy to drive a long distance to avoid a courier. The bass had a Pro Setup at Guitar Technical Services (IMHO the best guitar tech / luthier in the country) in late Feb 2020 and has been further checked at GTS in 2021 and 2022. It has been recently restrung with Newtone Roundcore Platinum strings .096 .075 .060 .042. Weight - 8.0 pounds (3.6 kg). The bass did not come with a case however I keep it in a pristine Mono Bass Sleeve in ash colour, I will include this for £80 (roughly half-price) if you so wish. The bass was made for @Clarky who will be along in a minute to tell you how lovely it is. Since acquiring a bass built by our very own @Jabba_the_gut the ACG has lingered in the rack, which is a crime, this bass needs to be played. Please feel free to ask any questions or request further photos. Body Top Wood: Cocobolo with Maple veneer Body Wood: Alder Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck Neck Wood: 3 piece Maple Finger Board: Ebony Scale: 32″ Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Hardware Pickups: ACG FB in the neck and ACG FB in the bridge Hardware: Hipshot B Type bridge 19mm spacing, Gotoh GB350 Resolite tuners, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks, Hipshot String Tree, Pre-amp: East UNI-PRE 4K

    Why is everyone just pretending the 'problem' is anything to do with music. He is ginger innit.
