  1. Sorry to hear of your assault and injury. I can only suggest the Hofner Violin bass which was the lightest I’ve ever had. I can’t remember the exact weight, no doubt someone on here who still has one can tell us.
  2. Look for something 2nd hand for your first bass then if you don’t take to it you can sell it on without a huge loss. Given your list of styles think about one of Spector’s Korean models, great value, really versatile and reasonable.
  3. Looks good with gold, but brown tort would be nice too.
  4. Who knows where the time goes - Sandy Denny
  5. I see these have a proper 4 pole pickup. When I had. A Fender one back in the 70’s it was fitted with a strat pickup, which I didn’t know back then.
  6. Just come off a cruise to Alaska where one of the bands was an all girl group from Argentina- the Shelleys. They played some good jazz and Latin style music. I tried to download my video but it’s too large a file.
  7. Is this the gig you want irrespective of your ability or the one you could play if the band let you?
  8. We’ve got to get out of this place - The Animals
  9. Just go old school and plug straight into the amp.
  10. I don’t know whether a headstock should rock, I like Fenders, got most things right, straight away, but it shouldn’t cause the neck to droop and be tasteful. I think this is pretty good.
  11. If I remember correctly, a Ric is a shorter scale than a long scale Fender. An odd 33” springs to mind, but no doubt Ricky fans here will correct me. But aren’t they generally a lot heavier than your average P?
  12. Never liked Wals, couldn’t care if they take a century to make.
  13. I like the look of this, never thought the scratch plate on the Stingray 5 did anything for its looks. Like the majority (?) here I have generally abandoned hard cases, they don’t fit the front seat of my tiny car (DS3).
  14. I think you’re all brave! I would want to test run first.
  15. Thanks for all your wisdom. To summarise- don’t do it!
