Sustain pedal is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! ?

Oooft, that is a fine looking axe.

Oooooh, that JTEX looks nice.

When I grow up I hope to be able to extend the end of a phrase so that I land in the next one about 4 or 6 beats after the One and have it contribute to music and not sound like a mistake.

I went to a clinic he did in London a few years ago. I could not understand why it was not a BC national conference.

Neck back to the thinest clear seal I can get away with and a colour matched headstock.

Not helping. I always like to keep an eye on resale

Nope 3ply white black white.

I suspect it will be because I have always fancied a Metal Flake but they need a scratchplate and no other bass I own has a scratchplate. Unless I want to respray an old Fender.

That is the problem.

BF are hitting the mainstream. Congratulations to them.

Classic. I am now humming and hahing between metal flake blue or a nice lightly reliced sea foam green. 1st world problems.

The pickup and preamp combo are very nice. If they came in any other body shape I would probably be there. It is not that I dislike the body shape, I just could not get comfy with it. Are the electronics available aftermarket? They did not used to be but I have got to the stage in life where I no longer NEED to know everything about everything bass so am out of the loop.

I have owned 3 of them. The electronics were just superb. I could not get with the lower horn digging into my leg when I sat down.

And there we have it. It feels really nice. It does the flats thing nicely. It stinks of fags. I had forgotten that people smoke. I guess it will have to sit in the garage for a couple of weeks. Eugh. I guess I will have to price up a metal flake finish now. That will sort out the smell!

We all love to help the bass!

At a guess you will hit more people in this forum.

Ah! The wanted section. I shall go and look.

That is the mother of all build threads.

This thread is useless without a shopping list of needs and want for said project.

Everyday is a school day. Just as well my incoming one is a 5 then. I do not get on with Presicion nuts. I thought I did until I realised that the 73P bitsa I own actually has a J nut.

Tell me about the USA SUB nut width thing?

I have a set of strings for F#BEADG tuning so I will use those first. It really is an experiment. I will do all that first. If it works I will think about modding it. If it does not I will flog it as a 5 string Uke bass.
