All will be revealed later today

According to him it's "bigger and heavier" than he is, and he's 5' 10/11". So that rules out a 500/1. What could it be? Yes, I know I could just ask him, and I will, but I'd like to see who can correctly guess the identity of this mystery bass. For the record it's very unlikely to be a custom job

Kay. I changed my settings to email me when someone posts in a thread I'm watching.

Preferably with Sheff Weds themed basses for sale. Asking for a friend who rarely internets.

I'm sure I set it to always on in my preferences but it seems to be permanently off site wide. Any reason for that? Honestly, it's hard to keep up when you never get notified about anything,

Some guidance as to your budget would be nice, @Bridgehouse

Hofner Club bass? Chowny CHB1? Epiphone Jack Cassady? Ibanez Artcore? Harley Benton HB 60?

You mean there's two of the buggers? Damn.

You didn't know there's a town in Devon called Street? Londoners

Hi [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/11664-prismrock2003/"]prismrock2003[/url] How about a MM style pickup in the bridge position with a three way toggle switch to give you a choice of single coil, both coils in series or both coils in parallel? At least I think that's how the MM pickup wiring works. Also... Predictive text or autocorrect?

What's going on with the neck and headstock?

I'm planning to get an RPB65 fretless after I've bought a maple boarded fretted P.

Does it have to be a Jazz?

How about dots? I voted "Blocks". It's neck and neck so far.

You can't tune down to Eb on a 4 string? Surely it's not that big a step?

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1504691404' post='3366556'] How sad, I still listen to Can fairly regularly, great band and his bass playing was such an essential part of the sound. Loved his solo albums as well. That's Holger and Jaki gone now. I'll have a listen to Ege Bamyasi in his memory right now. [/quote] Michael (Karoli) as well.

Did the OP really mean to write thugs in the title?

Hair bobble thugs sound like people I want to avoid.
