Don't get me wrong, I love Mark King and the way he plays bass being it slap or fingerstyle (where he's a true master, remember that he's a Jaco fan and Level 42 was originally intended to be a fusion band without any songs, but titles or tunes if you prefer, as there were no lyrics). To me the best bass for slap has always been the Jazz Bass, but his signature model seems to have all wrong. Some instruments are a disaster and this is one.

I guess some of you have seen my for sale ads : they are more than complete. And I always get questions about things that are in the ad. No matter what or how you do it, people are too lazy to read, especially a long text or ad or anything obvious.

And what if they were smoking communist cigarettes while walking (dead) in Pripyat under the raditions ?

Lead it be !

Was about to say that @AndyTravis... And that may explain a lot of things as it's not really a Fender, but more an assembly of not the best pieces Fender had. Looks like a kind of joke and a rush needed endorsement. I had the opportunity to play one thanks to a friend of mine who is a Mark King (almost diehard) fan, but he came to his senses and didn't buy it eventually (maybe because of me telling him it was a real crap bass).

Eventually not such a good idea as lead would protect them against radiations.

I used to own the Nexus Gom Jabbar Magellan Fretless 6. http://www.nexus-guitars.com/old/bmgom-mag.html

Maybe, but are we chain reacting is the question ?

You misread what I wrote, I was talking about the natural over aging of wood or anything organic due to the humidity and temperature, and the danger of the swamps is their fauna. 😉 It's was an affirmation of this :

Monk Montgomery, the first ever electric bass player, used his thumb and was originally a double bass player. James Jamerson used his index only ( aka The Hook) and was also a former double bass player. Carol Kaye, the most recorded artist ever, play with a pick (plectrum) and was a jazz guitar player when she started electric bass. That said Jack Bruce was a graduated classical cellist, not a double bass player. 😉

Ah, the human being quest for eternity...

Indeed Louisiana is already known for this and it's much safer, if you don't go in the swamps...

That is the correct definition as a bolt is an assembly...

I don't know, but it's good for fusion, for sure...

A friend of mine told it to me yesterday when it was announced, couldn't believe it. Now it is totally confirmed. May he rest in peace. https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2021/10/29/in-memoriam-bill-conklin/

Or has a habit of buying bad instruments... Wait a minute, he bought some from me. Erm, erm, Jack is really the most discerning person when it comes to buying excellent instruments. 😇

Following. 😉

Let's split hair : a bolt is in fact a screw with a nut, but a screw is not a bolt as to be a bolt it would need a nut, but it can be a stud if it's screwed to a fixed point like a soldered nut or a threaded hole, for example. And be glad that you don't speak French as we have different words for anything slightly different from another.

Maybe using something like the PJB Ear-Box at ears height and a clip-on mike would help a lot.
