I can’t find these on Thomann any longer.  Maybe they have now actually been discontinued.

Bogart?

Recent convert to LaBella low tension flats (think they only do the one gauge).

Love them on my long scales, but thought they might be a bit floppy on my short scale.  Bought a set anyway…

Thankfully they feel as great on the short scale as they do in a long scale!  Thought I’d mention it just in case anyone else was wondering the same.

2x One10’s/ 1x Two10 are plenty for an average pub rock gig.

I put hook on the board first pedalboard I a made.  I regret this decision, as it traps all the crap/dust/general debris.  This is probably why everyone else in the world puts loop on the board.

Nearly done!  The shim went in, then came out after it kicked the body end of the neck up too much.  Pickup sits perfectly now.  Electrics still work, and it sounds nice & thumpy!

Still to do - cut a new truss rod cover, get a new nut (the one it came with had the strings bunched together a bit too much).

The frets are not great, so might need to take it to my excellent local luthier to sort.

Unsure whether I will change the tuners in the future, maybe just the collars, as they are so damned heavy in comparison to the rest of the bass.

Also wondering if I should have kept the original bridge on.  Will see how I feel a year down the line!

BTW - the tuners don’t have the little holes for the string ends to hide in, if you were wondering why it has antenna.

I started with a One10 as I always go through the PA too.  Then got a second One10 in tweed because it looked cool.  Sold them due to financial reasons, then ended up buying a Two10 a year or so later.

For me it’s swings & roundabouts.  I like having the option of just talking one to a jam, but I also like having just one box.

I’ll stick with the Two10 for the foreseeable now, but I’d be equally as happy with two One10s.

Man this is taking ages!  The bass has been sitting in a corner, daring me to finish it.  Today, I pulled out the router to drop the pickup cavity by 5mm.  I love routers! 

(that filled-in PU cavity was under the factory finish).

I’d love one, but they are beyond my modest fun budget 😂

I did have a go on one of these SS Jags a few years ago in Carmarthen.  It’s a nice bass!

Sorry - I meant it would be nice if they had a wider nut option (to cope with my “daddy-long-legs” fingers).  Most short scales seem to be 38mm, which cramps my hands.

And with a 42mm nut!

£2.5k??  🤣🤣🤣. Not even finished the sides!!

Just having another pop at getting the effects manager up & running.  Neither my new Mac Mini nor my very old W10 laptop will allow the program to open.  Dang.  Is it because it’s Russian, and MI6 are preventing me from using it? 🤡

The bridge saddles and rounded pickups are identifiers, just can’t remember what they mean 😂

Nice finish, too.  That would be great with a roasted maple neck.

My goodness that’s a nice bit of maple 😍

Having recently developed a bit of a thing for odd old basses, I’d be interested in seeing more pictures!

Pull & rehouse the head, eBay the remains for £20 = free amp!

Good spot!  I’d let the playability vs price dictate whether or not it’s a worthy purchase.  Who cares who made it if it’s a good player?!

As above, then cream strat knobs!

My tech has a Wal.  I’m too scared to go near it in case I damage it.

and straight in to the bin.

Crafted from a cheap heavy bass, now is a monstrosity.

Nice colour though.

I wouldn’t disconnect the speaker to switch on & off - that might cause damage.  Pretty sure Eden stuff is labelled to that effect.

Have they done away with the crash test dummy stripy paint job on top though?

@Maudedid an awesome job on an old Kay.  Damned if I can find the thread now!
