Wooten's sound is awful, even if I respect his ability.

That was great, thanks for sharing. Perfect for a Friday.

Me too and many others. https://support.google.com/accounts/thread/235285575 I've changed my passwords, removed the verification phone and switched to a TOTP code, but still the texts continue.

Once I'd reached what I consider an unreasonable number of instruments (for me, 4), I decided that it was one in one out from now on. I'm now at the stage where I don't want any of the basses to go, so I'm not GASing.

Nice, and you can buy them separately can you? Just a drop-in replacement on a precision?

What are they?

Sorry if I'm being really dim here, but if I know the mass of the whole string, and I know the length of the whole string, then can't I calculate the mass per unit length? Admittedly with the string that goes beyond the nut and the bridge, it's an approximation.

Thanks for responding @EssentialTension But wouldn't the scale length and pitch be the same for any string you wanted to put on your bass? What's compliance? Do you mean how pliable the string is?

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but does this mean that we can determine the relative tension of strings by weighing them?

The number of options for learning and improving is so great now that I think it's easier to learn. I was teaching myself in the 80s, and the one lesson I had from a teacher was fairly useless (he was convinced the machines were coming, and all bassists were out of a job, so why would I even want to learn?). I've done a few SBL courses, and watched so much Youtube to pinpoint things I want to focus on. I definitely play better now at 55 than I did at 18 (which was probably my first peak).

Thanks for the info, that's useful!

Nice bass. What happened about customs?

Great to see you here

I'd love to hear about the neck profile if you have time, as I'm considering one of these at some point in the future. The only necks I have not been able to handle are the ones which are wide but shallow. A bit of depth to the neck and I'm fine.

Nice! How close to a vintagey P-bass can the TM4 get?

Wow!

I asked Modern Vintage about the 70's P neck and they said...

I bought a beautiful Modern Vintage MVP4-62 from our own @Sibob last year in gorgeous shell pink! It's basically a remade 62 precision. I found the build quality to be exceptional, and it sounded fantastic. Unfortunately, the neck was of the wide but shallow variety, and I started to find that it cramped my hand if I played for too long, so traded it in against something else with a deeper neck. I was just browsing the Modern Vintage site, as you do, and noticed that they are now advertising some 70s Ps and Js. https://modernvintageguitars.com/product-category/modern-vintage-instruments/4-string-basses/modern-vintage-mvp472/ Just wondered whether any BassChatters had tried one of these, or knew anything about them. I don't think they've been out very long.

Wonderful playing!

From some of the comments, I was expecting this one https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/bass-guitars/products/brian-eastwood-bender-collision-bass-fiesta-red
