  1. Let’s be honest, solo bass work generally is a bit meh. The only solo album by a bass player I have ever heard that is is really listenable is Roscoe Beck’s Walk On, because there is only one short bass interlude (it’s hardly a solo) and the rest is just well written songs, well performed and well produced. However, this is not the question asked in the thread title, so my answer to that is Les Claypool.
  2. I love a Fluke meter. I had one when I was field engineer and I was spending someone else’s money, great bit of kit. Now I have something sad from Maplin’s, does the job, but it isn’t brilliant (rather like Maplin’s).
  3. I'm no luthier by any stretch of the imagination, but I had a Telecaster where the nut was off centre and the string would pull off of the fretboard. A quick search on YT and I just knocked it out, added the 2 spots of CA and repositioned. A little shaping on the now overhanging edge with a nail file and a little building up on the opposite side with CA and all was good. I don't think I'm up to buying a blank and cutting it, not to mention having to then having to buy specialist tools that would see very limited use.
  4. Just a couple of spots of CA on the underside, IIRC. Makes removing it again not too difficult.
  5. I tried that once with a very neck diving P, it worked but I didn’t like the feel.
  6. Including taxes? Looks lovely, hope it arrives on time.
  7. That is rather splendid, great production and playing.
  8. It is a pleasant surprise when respected players turn out to be nice, ordinary folk, albeit, or even in spite of, being in exceptional circumstances. Way too many buy into their own hype and become divas, or just plain arseholes. I’ve witnessed the polar opposites at bass and guitar shows: super, down to earth guys (take a bow Lee Sklar) and far less pleasant folk.
  9. That is very sad news, always seemed a great guy from his posts; he will be missed. 😢
  10. Just my own point of view, with nothing other than instinct to support it: More vintage instruments appearing on the market could just be down to the grim reaper coming to claim the ageing owners and their estate divesting the asset. All the time notable players are picking them up and telling the community how great they are (the basses, not the artist), the market will continue.
