I really liked playing that bass. Wouldn't mind another tbh. What did we trade Russ..was it the Led Evans?

I have my 6 string bass strung E-E with 100 as the thickest..the thinnest being around .020. I want to try some black nylon strings the equivalent of what I already have..I realise they’ll be thicker. Do they make nylon strings light enough for my needs?

I play Indian fusion music..and you can get an app for your phone that has a drone on it..it gives you the root, 4th, 5th...you decide. See if you can find it under the word “ tanpura” Just plug into your sounds via headphone socket on your phone. Job done.

Always wanted to play a magnum. Would love to play a fretless one.

Seems like a steal for a handmade Jaydee.

That is gorgeous. I’ve always wanted to try one. Would look fab with an aluminium Kramer neck.

That’s a good idea..I’ll look into it.

Excellent..just can’t afford another bass right now.

That’s a really good idea! thanks, I’ll look into it.

No ideological objection..I just prefer using my fingers ..I like the tone.

..I sold my Alembic about a year ago.

Funny enough that would work really well. I was thinking of a way to add something to the body ..something that can be removed.

I’m looking for a good solution to a problem I’ve been having regarding my right arm when playing bass. For years I’ve been resting my forearm on the body like almost everyone...but as I’m sure you all know..it creates a bend in the wrist..so after a while the back of the hands hurt. I never really had a problem with this when I played my Alembic, as the body was quite wide..which meant my wrist was a lot straighter..I can get round it by using ‘ sliding thumb technique’..but I like playing ‘ normally’ with thumb anchored. If there were an ergonomically designed bass body with a wide lower bout..that’d work... I was thinking about some cool way of kinda artificially widening the body..so when resting my forearm..my wrist would be straighter..just can’t think of a simple solution..there must be a good hack somewhere?

I can see you with that Russ.

Smashing looking bass.

Speechless. https://www.ebay.de/itm/santamaria-guitars-E-Bass-Basso-elettrico-butterfly-angebrannt-Handmade-5/173863488211?hash=item287b124ad3:g:FCkAAOSws7FcpxRq
