  1. Didn’t Bill Black tour with Elvis in a car with the Double Bass strapped to the roof? Or was that just in the film?
  2. The blackest crow (Trad) Bruce Molsky and Julie Fowlis https://youtube.com/watch?v=d6jh1vqNvMs&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
  3. I like it as it is, save yourself the work and just use it and enjoy!
  4. Glad you cleared that up. They are an iconic piece of bass history, the sound of the British Invasion (leaving aside Macca’s Hofner). Sadly I’m not playing enough these days to justify a £3k investment, but I do hope you find a good home for it soon.
  5. Venus in blue jeans - Mark Winter ( does anyone actually remember this? )
  6. Nah! It’s the thought of that battery going down mid set 👎
  7. Pump it up - Elvis Costello & the Attractions
  8. Latest video on Dave’s World of Fun stuff has one with very sharp fret ends that appear not to have been finished at all after cutting to length. One would hope that’s just a one off glitch in the QC that missed it not a problem with all this edition. Presumably they use the same necks as on other MIM Jazzes? whoops, sorry BNT didn’t notice you’d already flagged this one.
  9. No, I know it went to a good home and that you will make the most of it (I still like the P😁👍🏼)
  10. Muleskinners Blues - The Fendermen (& Jimmy Rogers but I thought you’d all like the name of the cover version band).
  11. I found the strings too close together for finger style, although if you look at pics/videos of 60s players they seemed to manage. It depends what you’re used to. As for Hofner strings - yuk.
  12. Seems pointless changing the strings 🥴
  13. You should try fretless and if your a 5 string player, it might be better to get a 5 fretless. If you can find one the now discontinued Spector Spectorcore is a great choice. Comes as 4 & 5 lined ebony board with either EMG or Bartolini pickup and a Fishman Piezo bridge. Or too expensive and high quality.
  14. Shy me to the moon - Sinatra ( after a few bourbons)
  15. The Stagg stand arrived today. Heavier than I expected but does the job for my NS NXT. The top arm extends a lot further than this if needed.
