Why not playing sitting ? This is what I'm doing as I have a severe back injury (66% crippled because of this). Otherwise, you'll also need a very large decent strap or a duo strap (if you are not too tall or large). Check headless basses : they are often lighter and way more ergonomical.

This is a 1992 Yamaha TRB-6P, Russ, as it's more IN22064. Their pdf explaining the serialisation is not always accurate, especially for these old TRB's as they have sometimes hard to decipher serial numbers and strange ones too...

Terrific basses, these Yamaha TRB-6P first generation. I had a few, some were defretted, and as a fretless it's a killer bass. I do tend to prefer the 2 trussrods models, which are the rarest ones ... of course. Well done, Russ.

Is it nickel or stainless steel ? Does it hum ?

GLWYS.

I watched the video. Amazing ! The routing "job" is simply awful. Total waste of money. Buy a second hand instrument instead.

New self heating socks prototype. Needs a bit of fixing... 😂

Glad I'm not one of your relatives or friends. Do you also burn all your mail ?

Focusing only on fretless bass, that would be my point. Even if I started on guitar when I was 16 years old (a crappy ekectric with a crappy amp paid the equivalent of 150 Euros with the little money I saved over the years), I've always been in love with that boomy lovely melodic sound I heard on records and mentioned as Fretless bass, which to me was a brand name back then. After my studies, so at the age of 22 years old, I bought my first real fretted bass with my first salary, then a few months later I had an Aria Diamond (Violin shape) defretted by Christophe LEDUC and started my journey in the fretless world messing with other instruments too. Now, I'm 54 and discovered the ERB 8 strings fretless bass that I really love as fretless is my thing. So, except focusing on the fretless bass only, just maybe having an official paper for my knowledge of the theory of music (but I can still do it).

Don't think it's the Internet, it has more to do with the parents not doing their job. I mean educating their kids and it's been lasting for decades now...

Neither do I... 😉

Very nice, but I need to keep my car. 🤣 Reminds me that I sold and bought mine (fretless) twice for £1000 GBP in the late 90's... Should have bought it a third time. Woops.

And that's the only purpose of a(n inboard) preamp. If you want sounds from the grave, buy pedals, that's what they are intended for. 😉

A - A# - C# - G# (and not A)

There are four, in fact, but still perfect ! 😉

Louie Louie by Motörhead. The original by Richard Berry having no real bass line, but an idea of what it should be. Simple and effective, just like Once in a Lifetime by The Talking Heads or Papa was a Rolling Stone by The Temptations, already mentioned.

I'm sure it's an original. 😉😱😁

He surely is living there : 🤣

And this is the magic about BassChat, most of us would have act like this. I would and have always act like this.

Do you mean a stereo jack like on most of all other active basses ?
