    Only the buyer can know the secret. It is the law.

    I cannot deny it.

    Brand new. Never installed. Don't ask.

    This is lots of fun with a nice rubbery tone and lush fluidity.

    I sent it to Bass Bros. Someone bought it. It turned out that the truss rod had snapped. So I took it back. This was mildly (!) disappointing on a brand new bass. But G&L have a 10 year warranty on their new instruments. I guess this stuff just happens now and again. So they just sent me a new neck. No sweat, no drama. As it happens it has a nicer fingerboard as well. I also had a white pickup cover made cos.....ummm.... I wanted one. However it is still not for me. It is not the bass, it is me. So it is up for sale again discounted to £1200. Like a five string P, but more I will do a picture with the white pickup cover in a moment.

    I like it!

    One of my new students today said that his favourite genre was Midwest Emo. I am going to have to do some research. I am happy to let all the dance genres and sub-genres wash over me but this was a challenge.

    GDRP and all that.....

    Today is the first day of term in the college where I teach. We have a new student who is coming to do a year with us before becoming a full-time welder. He brought his bass in his home made case with him. It must be 30Kg. But he is about 6'6" and built like a mountain. I have never seen anything like it!

    I like them as well

    I suspect so, yes.

    I also clocked the Meatball. I bought one when they first came out. Once, and only once, I twiddled the knobs to such a position where it added "something" behind my main note. Some sort of filter event. It was just a fabulous sound. I knew I could get the same sound again because I was clearly a boss with programming. Yeah. I never found it again. I got so fed up that I flogged it on ebay but they had stopped making them by then. Some guy from the US paid me 3 times more than the new price. I wish I could recreate it.

    I remember lifting one of these in The Gallery. I actually laughed out loud, it was so light. Great sound as well. What a combo.

    Bows. A whole world of pain which has already been alluded to. I never believed it. Then I tried a really good bow. Then I believed it. Another aspect which has not yet been touched on is strings which bow well and strings which do not bow well. More pain. A really good bow playing Spirocores will never make that lush sound we hear in our heads. There are so many variables! Sorry.

    Newtone will see you right.

    BF 410 in Orange Tolex? Like Hannah Montanna.....

    I KNEW that the Baddass bridge was going to revolutionise not only my playing but my life. Yeah

    We have all been there.

    Jez makes exceedingly good basses.

    Now there is one less in their actual stock.

    Perhaps my worrying about being on double digits is not something I should concern myself with. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2024/8/musician-whos-shared-stage-with-legends-owns-worlds-largest-bass-guitar-collection

    It is quite the machine. The 4 way selector switch makes an AWFUL lot of sense. The weight is great and the build quality is flawless.

    I guessed so, but I was friends with her decades ago and it would have been very cool if she was on here.
