Not seen that colour before 👍🏼

On the road again - Willie Nelson

Nigel Price trio - organist on Hammond, plays bass with his feet!

Don’t let me be misunderstood- the Animals

I wonder if you really need to change those pickups. I assume it’s active with all those controls and if you can’t dial up the sound, why not get a preamp system which offers different sound patterns and amp simulators. I suspect what you are looking for is a particular artist’s sound when using a JayDee. It may be the amp/speaker combination that you’re really hearing.

Blowing’ in the wind- Bob Dylan

I think that colour is very similar to what they used to call blonde on the Telecaster bass in the 70s. If you Google Teles there are several photos that look similar.

As this just came as a trade and I haven’t had one for a while this is the 4th I have owned, but over a very long period. Nice weight 3.9 kg and a very easy playing neck. Hope to have some fun with it.

Blue wasn’t on my radar but this one came as a trade and I rather like. Metallic blue which doesn’t show in the photo.

Glad you like it David. Looks good with the MVP. 👍🏼

You’re so vain - Carlie Simon

Blues song writers will probably not be sued as they didn’t make any money from royalties.

Don’t you lie to me - Tampa Red

Reach for the sky - Firehouse

Will the circle be unbroken - The Carter Family

My Gibson EB 2013 5 string is a light 3.5kg and the later versions with a more pointed body are the same. Great pickups with pull pots to change from humbucker to single coil J type.

And I’ve got the fretless version on sale here for £475. I’d do you a trade as well.

Eye of the tiger - Survivor

Can I ask another, probably silly question. Does the bow quiver have to be leather, or can my missus knock one up in fabric on her sewing machine?

Thanks @zbd1960, so I won’t warm it, but I guess a new bow and new rosin just needs a lot of rubbing! May be like with a lamp, I need to say abracadra. 🤔😆l

Thank you @Bloopdad1, that’s helpful. I bought Hidesine deluxe all weather bass rosin. It’s still pretty hard, but I have touched it up a bit with a key as someone suggested. However I can’t see rosin on the bow and it doesn’t seem sticky. It’s okay for a very short while, rosin dust appears on the strings and body of my NXT and then seems to go quiet. Do you think it would help to soften the rosin a bit, can one do that in a microwave ( for a very short time obviously).

Glad you’re pleased with it. I suspect they are a bit marmite, not my cup of tea.
