I don't think you can find any better than the Mono Bag M80. It's pricey, but hey it's Wal going inside and I put my even more expensive Le Fay Remington Steele 6 RHT CC CAP Big Block in one of those without any fear. But first check this and you'll understand why it's the best protective gig bag to date : https://monocreators.com/ This : https://monocreators.com/pages/m80 And the two specific versions for bass : https://monocreators.com/products/vertigo-bass-guitar-case-grey https://monocreators.com/products/vertigo-bass-guitar-case-black

Ok, let's face it another way : the typical island and particularly typical British "need for" isolation. Living and studying in Belgium in the late 70's/early 80's we where more into hard rock, punk, new wave or cold wave, but at least one of us (he was a sax and keyboard player) was listening to some fusion and introduced us to Weather Report and Jaco Pastorius. I clearly remember not liking it that much, but being interested by the whole concept. That said I was more into Japan and the amazing Mick Karn or even Pino Palladino with Gary Numan or, a bit later, with Paul Young. I was loving Hawkwind and, of course, Lemmy with or without Motörhead. I really discovered Jaco Pastorius through Toots Thielemans in the mid 80's thanks to an extraordinary concert with Michel Hatzigeorgiou on Fender fretless Jazz Bass. Talking about Lemmy reminds me that he always liked to say that he was listening to Radio Luxembourg when he was young as there was absolutely nothing to listen to on the BBC, especially nothing new or non British, just the typical boring stuff labelled Made in Britain. With my best mate we also had a broadcasting show on Saturday evening on a local radio presenting almost everything musically different or obscure at the time, early 80's, with a real audience and some recognition too. The concept of the show was also different as the name changed everything 10 shows as well as the jingle that we were making ourselves. So why would Jaco be recognised in the late 70's/early 80's in Belgium and not in the U.K. ? Just check above.

Tort for me too, especially with aged white. Urm, urm, the aged white is not @Happy Jack... 😉

Use a caliper and simply measure the shaft as @Velarian suggested, it will be either metric (6 mm) or imperial (6.3 mm or 1/4 inch), then buy the ones corresponding. If you prefer push-on knobs, then buy these. That said if the original ones are already screw-on type, you can simply redrill them to 6.3 mm...

The Boss OC-5 has a terrific tracking. On my Le Fay Remington Steele 6 (Fretless), it tracks down to the low B... Check these 10 pages : Loads of comparisons with other octavers and BassChatters comments too, so real time ones.

Did Tim Tim with TIM ?

Congratulations, my bands last 5 years and disappear, to be polite.

Buy - bought - bought. Bring - brought - brought. Can you please use the correct one and stop confusing bought with brought ? And it's not only @Bean9seventy...

Terrific work as usual @Andyjr1515 !

Some new photos of the MP 524 from 2008. It has these very rare features for a Leduc : A very rare two pieces book matched flamed ash body with a quarter sawn Canadian hard rock maple set neck (stopping at the bridge) and a very thick Para rosewood (Dalbergia Spruceana) fingerboard that is very close to the usual Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia Nigra) sound wise. It also has an optional nitro finish to let the wood resonate. Another interesting feature is that what seems to be an headstock veneer is in fact the extension of the thick fingerboard itself.

Waiting for some other photos from other owners...

I was only five, but already interested in music. Don't worry, it was the Hit Parade for me, but 1970 was the year of this jazz milestone. Miles Davis : beaches Brew.

Hipshot are "making" these Licenced tuners in Korea since around at least 10 years... 😉

It was :

No, you are not alone. @Christine@josie for instance have sort of disappeared. I wonder what happened.

Take the PIL @Bean9seventy and then all that is left is a wobble. The rest is rotten, better walk her away of the test of Levene for tea too.

Wasn't Richard Clayderman the father of all dance floor U.K. Funk Unit ? Or was it Prince Charles and the City Big Band ? Or maybe was it Lou Macari and his Marvelous Floor Hoovering Accordion ? No it was Leo and the Duco Selmer Fenders, right ? Telex for you, Mark, it's the King. Wanna slap ? Yeah it's Davie504 before Davie 504, in the blink of 182 eyes. It's a rotten one, Johnny. Viva Las Vegas.

@skankdelvar May I ask for a report to late 3022 as I'll have to learn all pre and post Indo-European languages and their first to last deviations to vaguely understand the erratic grammatical construction of the aforementioned sentences and decipher the Sumerian codex hidden in the signs wording ?

Anything Be Bop from Wes Montgomery to early Miles Davis records are a great source of walking basses. The names have been mentioned, but strangely Charlie Mingus has been forgotten just like NHOP (Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen)... If you want some electric bass, then Alain Caron and Kyle Eastwood are amazing bass walker (nice name, I think), just like Tom Kennedy. There are so many great albums, but I would recommend one in particular as it features the late extraordinary Chet Baker in a terrific mood, alongside an amazing Jean-Louis Rassinfosse on double bass and the always musical guitar chord changer Philip Catherine : Crystal Bells.

Maybe giving the brand and model of the bass could be a great idea as it might help a LOT !
