I don't. Every gig I've had since I bought it has been on guitar 😂

Thanks. Both DI'd with a plugin used for the overdrive on the first one.

Neck-Through

30 years old = rare!!! original!!! vintage!!! = ca$hmon€y!!!

Mint on Olympic White looks fantastic, especially when the mint ages and goes a bit darker, but only with a rosewood fretboard. With maple? No thanks. White, or cream, on white usually looks dreadful and cheap. Yeah, it's a guitar, but it shows the difference well.

Oops, forgot all about this. Here they are. First one is overdriven and slightly favouring the bridge pickup with some treble rolled off. Second one is cleaner and about 65% neck pickup with some treble rolled off.

That's the ancient Aztec symbol for a taco, no?

Lovely. How does it sound?

Looks great! 🤔

They don't mess around in Liverpool.

A bass every four days. That is incredibly impressive work 🙂

So sad about him.

Just as well they didn't choose "Why go?", not the best thing to put on a gig poster.

Nice!

4 real?

The mortgage gets paid, the car gets serviced, the cats get fed. If I've got money left to spend on a bass every now and then, where's the problem? Some people blow their money on smokes and booze. I don't. I like playing basses, I like building and repairing basses and I enjoy the different designs from an aesthetic perspective. They're tools, they're instruments and they're art pieces, all in one. I don't mind who knows it, I'm going to say it now... I... like... bass. 😳

Looks nice but also looks uncomfortable. Classic Rickenbacker.

Amazing! 😂

They're only underpants if you actually bother to wear something over them.

Cleaning out biocrud is half the charm of buying used.

Ehh... anyone fancy a restoration project which starts with a shave? https://www.ebay.ie/itm/80s-ELECTRA-HAIRY-BASS-TARDD-EX-KARL-KONG-the-GORILLA/174581592177?hash=item28a5dfb071:g:bDQAAOSw~hNfsU6X

Today might be your lucky day. This is the first one I've seen available since I got my one https://reverb.com/item/38264014-ibanez-sb900le-1992

Of those, the Winger and Sarzo are gone. The Winger was the UK model with Reflex pickups and I could never get a sound I liked out of it. It was a nice player, though, comfortable and very light, and I flipped a coin between replacing the pickups and electronics or moving it on. King Billy is currently getting pickup transplant. I have a coil tappable EMG MM pickup which will go in instead of the P. I'm mulling around the idea of putting the P in closer to the neck. It's a great player, though, and I'd hate to butcher it. One must know when to stop.
