Rush, Birmingham NEC, 30th anniversary tour, early 2000's. Was a big Rush fan up until that point but the gig itself was like listening to the CD. Left me cold. I was stood next to an obsessive Rush fan who lived every minute which didn't help. Geddy is still a hero though.

Yes it's rosewood. Do you use the oily baby wet wipes? Wouldn't have considered using those but we do have a baby and associated wipes so might finally have a bass-related use for them!

Hi all, I've recently taken possession of a second hand bass and I am about to give it a good clean before I replace the strings and set it up. I normally use guitar fretboard oil and kitchen towel to clean all the gunk off the fretboard but before I get stuck into this one does anyone have any top tips for bass gunk removal? Cheers in advance!

Tasty models. There are two 2024/Xs for sale on BC at the moment. Darryl's has been up for what seems like ages and is identical in price but 0.5kg heavier. Personally prefer the non-X version myself but I'd jump on either one at the right price. An Olympic white one with a few dinks went on Ebay a couple months ago for around £1250. Ummed and ahhed but I just couldn't bring myself to cross the 1k mark for a lovely but basic instrument.

I think the gold hardware looks class. One sexy bass 😍

Funny, I've been thinking the exact same thought! My appetite was whet by that lovely amber coloured 1024 that sold in the marketplace last week within 24 hours. Vintage white is definitely the best colour IMO

Looks great and a fair price but collection only? No way anyone could legally collect that who wasn't from the area. Pity.

Fernandez did a neck-through P bass which I'd love to get a listen to.

You'll be alright as long as you don't write it down or post it in a discussion on Basschat 🤓

I just love the fact that we can discuss at length these extremely subtle tonal differences. I am a self confessed electric bass obsessive and I could pore over this kind of thing forever. I don't think anyone outside of the bass community would get this at all. I know my wife doesn't.

Louis is on fire, he'd have literally snapped that bass in two if the string hadn't stopped him! Thanks for sharing this, love it!

That is so dodgy, good detective work! To be fair 1500 is a decent price as well 😄

Saw the above on the Bay newly listed for this ridiculously cheap price this afternoon. I ummed and ahhed for a few mins but when I moved to the payment page it suddenly vanished. You snooze- you lose I guess. Did some lucky individual just pick up a Status for under 500? Did someone just buy a stolen treasure? Or did the seller mis-type the price before realising and quickly withdrawing? I didn't need another bass but what a tremendous bargain!

Rather tasty vintage white 2024X has appeared on fleabay for £1249. The GAS is rising once again... must.... resist!

Just beautiful. The camerawork was atrocious though, why is it necessary to zoom in on eyeballs and feet?
