  1. The bridge is indeed the 3D Kahler. 😉 Nice floor, isn't it ? 🤣
  2. Try double bass with action at 2 centimetres at the octave and an old Schaller pickup at the end of the fingerboard. You'll get the bass you want and you'll be digging like a mad man. Seriously, put some heavier gauge strings on your P-Bass, raise the action to 3 millimeters under the E string at the octave, have your neck relief correctly adjusted and lower your pickup. Then you'll be called the undertaker !
  3. The price is good as well as the condition and nice colour, but who cares if Jermaine has been playing it ? Furthermore there is no photo nor evidence of this fact. Ah, eBay fools paradise... One of these days, I'll sell my fingers as I've played Alain Caron, Marcus Miller, Michel Hatzigeorgiou (and many others) basses and also lent (for free) my Gibson ES-175 jazz guitar for a concert to the late great Toots Thielemans. 😁
  4. Buy a Chapman stick. 😉 I quite like the idea, but prefer the first version as it's anti-stick, if you know what I mean.
  5. That will be seven strings : he'll be lost as he is accustomed to widening not narrowing the strings spacing. 🤔 😁
  6. Better written this way : Non, c'est un piège à rats au gruyère. 😁 I'm the French grammar nazi. 😎

  9. Ceci n'est pas un fromage. Surrealistic Belgian point of view !
  10. F*ck, I'll have to sell some friends to buy some dreadlocks and go to California.
  11. But who is the guy on the right. Ok, I'll get a second coat. 😎
  12. Andrew GOUCHÉ is terrific on a fretted sixer, but I'm better on a s*cker fretless. 😁 I'll get my coat...
  13. The body shape really looks like the original Ibanez Affirma designed by the late Rolf Spuler. To me, the most beautiful bass ever made, and I had a few of them. https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/afr4wap_1p_01.html Have a free bump on me. 😉
  14. Don't know why, but I've always loved these toilet seat colours. Have a free bump on me. 👍
  15. There's another black hole in deep south Belgium sucking up fretless basses... 😁
  16. Isn't it traded by now ? 😉
  17. Which is on the light side for this period. I played this very bass and it's a tone monster. You can sound like Marcus Miller, of course, but also like Jaco Pastorius and, strangely, like James Jamerson too... One of the best ash/maple Fender Jazz Bass I'ver ever played, and I've owned a lot, but I'm a fretless man. 😉 Even if @Jadenacre is new here, he is been active on Zikinf for years, so you can deal in total confidence. He is also a terrific player. Listen to this album where he's playing the double bass : https://afrolatinvintageorchestraubiq.bandcamp.com/album/last-odyssey
  18. For those about to rock, here it is : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Iceni-Zoot-Bass-Active-UK-Luthier-custom-made/133082948482?hash=item1efc5ca382:g:~yoAAOSwNC5c~4DZ&redirect=mobile
  19. Mine was in better condition :
  20. And I sold it too, Jens. This and the Fodera NYC I'm trading right now are the best 5 strings à la Fender I have ever had. Have a free bump on me.
