Much of The Jam’s output didn’t feature guitar solos, or were pretty minimalist: Town Called Malice; David Watts; Going Underground; etc.

Legs - ZZ Top 

Hunter And The Hunted - Simple Minds

No, we’re a band, not a flooring showroom.
 

Unless he was after monogrammed trousers that make you sweat.

Honestly, this is like trying to decide which hand to cut off…..

You have 3 hands? 😱

I wish I had bought the walnut 4003s when I bought my all maple, fireglo - loved the tone, hated the weight. Someone is going to buy a great bass here.

Why does everything on Basschat inevitably have to turn into another bloody argument

This seems to be the current state of play in many threads, sadly.

Busted!

Not limited to the size of the band, if I’m singing, I tend to be somewhere up front, if there’s room, as I can be quite animated. If I’m not singing, wherever works for the size of the staging area.

no-one notices the bass player

Except other bass players.

Ma Baker - Boney M

Copperhead Road - Steve Earle

Planet Rock during the day for me, albeit via the app. The app is a brilliant thing for me as it allows me skip those performers whose output drives me crazy. Then, Monday-Thursday, from 6-8pm, it’s Get It On, on Radio Scotland. This features a theme, where listeners message in their suggested tunes to the theme and the presenters (who are often more entertaining than the music) line up the tunes based on the amount of requests they receive, personal preference and whether the song has any offensive lyrics (not that they always succeed in applying this rule ). It’s not always gold but, more often than not, entertaining.

Is the body smaller than a 34" scale Stingray?

 

 

Yes, it is. I had one, so I can attest to this. Also, if you look at the photos, you came see that curved control plate and bridge (both full sized) sit closer together than on the full size ‘Ray.

Trying out a new drummer last night, I took my JMJ along as the guitar player had said how much he liked it and I’ve been playing my P bass almost exclusively since I acquired it, last year. I’d forgotten how easy the Mustang is to play, especially around the first position. Looks like the P will be taking a back seat for a while now. 

Leather and Lace - Nicks & Henley

Vincent pony - the Vincents look great but don't know much about them.

Vincent’s take on a Mustang. If you’re thinking of that shape, you can’t go too far wrong with the Fender JMJ, which seem to be universally loved by owners (of which I am one). OK, the aged finish divides opinion, but it’s not overly done and there’s one for sale in the appropriate section of BC right now.
