Now I need to buy a Hohner just for that reason! 🤔🤪🤣

Not really the same place: South Belgium very close to Luxemburg and France borders. Nope, used to be part time, a (very) long time ago, but a lot of people here have a lot of instruments, you know.

Yes, but you'll have to add the few others downstairs. 😉 Good guess, even if I'm not sure Belgium is considered a romance country, but the place where I live has been the French Forest County (a province, officially) over a very long period and our house is already on the 1604 maps...

Neutrik is made in Lichtenstein, so pure metric, Switchcraft is made in the USA, so pure imperial as is your Fender cable: a slight "incompatibility" is possible. That said, you could have simply pushed the contact pins towards the center of the jack, it would have been sufficient to firmly hold the male connector of the cable in place. Furthermore the so called 1/4 inch standard is not a standard at all, take a caliper and start measuring, you'll be amazed.

Yes, don't mention it... 😉

Looks like a variety of mahogany to me, same wood pattern, some are very whitish and there over 800 different varieties.

They show up quite often ... in the E.U.

He's into heavy waffles these days.

This is something you don't see that often: A BassLab Custom DN VII, so a double neck fretted and fretless, 7 strings for each neck and weighing 7.7 kilos, which is not that heavy for such a monster. For sale at a very decent price (now) on Reverb (located in Germany, for those interested).

It's like a buggy, but for bass. 🤔🤦🏻🤪

I prefer the other comp, the photo comp. 😉

Behave please, no parlez.

Looks like a Candy Apple Red Stingray @kwmlondon. If it's the case, I know someone desperately looking for one (not me).

Put the photos and/or link and the experts will show up instantly. 😉

There are other well known ones who have authenticated fake ones, and not only once, but they almost always threatened me when I pointed it out... It just means you always have to be very careful when buying vintage or Custom Shop instruments and certainly not take retailers for granted, but ask for advice here as there are a some real experts and the power of BassChat is quite amazing when it comes to helping each others.

Nice looking one. That's my home.

The airflow itself is very noisy.

And then you'll call me saying "I've bought another fearless one, do you want it, it's definitely not for me?"

If each time you look at it you think why am I keeping a bass I won't play anymore, just sell it or trade it for that fiver Stingray, at least you'll stay in the same territory sound wise.

A pigeon, really! 🫣😂😉

Here is my music place, with my desk, sorry for the mess... 🤪😂

I think we have 2 winners, amazing mess guys, congratulations! 😂

With this, you have all you need: http://www.vintagekramer.com/Electric/wiring-dmz4000preamp.jpeg

If Mozart was still alive he would agree, and it's been the same for almost any classical musician considered now geniuses, but not back then as most of them were always short on money, except a very few, like Rossini. So every penny generated by some kind of recognition is more than welcome for an artist ... when he's alive. For the record Vincent van Gogh officially only sold one painting (La Vigne Rouge) while alive...
