Walk like a man - Four Seasons

You’ll be able to find that on stage with lights out 🤣

Is this a replacement for the Gibson 2 point?

It’s probably as cheap to fly over and collect it 😁🤔. Shame you’d have to quarantine on return, not to mention the cost of the COVID-19 tests.

A proper semi can be light, like Jack Cassidy, though not all. Some with centre blocks weigh as much as a solid. My 2013 Gibson EB is only 3.5kg, not bad for a 5 string. I believe the more recent models (the ones with longer horns) are also very light. Any of the chambered bodied basses e.g. Maruszczyk are light too.

Sell it. With most people using good PA then if you need to be louder, d.i. your back line into the PA. Keep your amp for you to hear and put tone in but otherwise use the monitors to hear each band member, don’t rely on the back line for those on stage to hear, you probably never will. This will also help you save your ears, less volume on stage means longer life for your ears. Tinnitus is no fun 👎

The St. John shape guitar, vaguely Jaguaresque would make a nice bass.

I don’t like correcting fellow bassists, but Diamonds was played on a Fender VI bass tuned the normal way E to E. although some early footage it looks like his had 2 pickups rather than the usual 3 , but later he was using the normal one.

My name is Jack - Manfred Mann

I think they’re selling it because it doesn’t really work. The video is very odd.
