  1. Tribute versions in general - why would I want something with someone else's name on it?
  2. It's a Whatever!
  3. I think they were for shows.
  4. PM'd - I need another BDDI...
  5. People referring to an instrument as "she". Also, the image of having to wipe my hands if it "plays like butter".
  6. That’s interesting; I didn’t know you could get drop-D tuners on a Spirit. I’ve just hacked my 5-string to fit a pair of EMG pickups.
  7. Something to harp on about...
  8. So, they have one cut but they're not a single-cut...
  9. I like that!
  10. Right then... What's brown and sticky...
  11. 🙂 I do see it sometimes, but if the carbon rods are rigid then I don’t know what the rod is for, unless there is some give and it needs tweaking. (I’m thinking/musing out loud, btw...)
  12. It's vaguely like, or (un)inspired by, a Rickenbacker 3000.
  13. Ah - I wish I could do woodwork like that! Personally I don't go for the sperm whale look, but the selection of woods makes up for it. A question: what is the purpose of having both graphite rods and a truss rod?
  14. Ramps - what are they for?
  15. I have to say that I could walk into a room of basses and head straight to the Rickenbackers, even though I have several already.
  16. I have one on a Jazz fretless - it is just the job.
  17. I'm working up to my Rebel Bass being my next project to finish...
  18. I'm thinking 70s Sci-Fi...
  19. Each one does 2 strings...
  20. Looks like screws hold them in place and you chop the ends off. ...or don't...
  21. £1k for a Korean copy(ish) in a gig-bag.
  22. I quite like them! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-Sirius-Alienslam-bass-guitars-vintage-german-in-flight-case/174411053560
  23. I have to say, I don't quite "get" them.
  24. My best strap is a leather one I had made by somebody local I met at a car boot sale; it's just a strip of leather with a Straplock at each end. I don't need an adjustable one; all I do is measure them to the right length and then hope they don't slip. So I had mine made to the right length to start with and never think about it.
