    A Squier Bass VI and have some fettling done to take a B-C set? Might not be possible with the trem and tuners, however. Edit: Looking at the Brice, my suggestion probably isn’t the type of thing you’re looking for.

    Good call, @Rich. A quick images search seems to indicate it’s a Turner Renaissance.

    Happy cake day. 🎁🎂🍾

    Looks like a Bass V.

    I think that the burgundy mist is the best colour of these. I also like the black, but fingerprint magnet and all that.

    Those BiSonics certainly receive a lot of love.

    Any updates on this now that you've had a couple of week's worth of ownership?

    With my recent purchase of an EUB, I rather feel that I might be game on for 2023, in fact, there could be a net reduction next year. However, the new shorty HB, Mustang-alikes might put paid to that. 😬

    I hope you’re not building a bass with Lego.

    Ah ha! We’re onto something here. Going down this route, we could have a somewhat cryptic name: The Ted; The Nugent; The Duke or The Amboy. For the record I disliked Wango Tango and Cat Scratch Fever back when I was into TN (pre his more publicised, outspoken views) and this has intensified over the years. I loved the Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent album, but Free For All was disappointing and Cat Scratch even more so. Sorry for the derail.

    I started on TB, but the ambience here suits me better. Hopefully, you’ll have the same experience.

    From the little you can see, it doesn’t look great, which comes as no surprise. What colour is the question? I reckon black would look great. What say you @Stub Mandrel?

    The Fender Roscoe Beck was/is a marvellous instrument.

    My current dilemma is that I have a bright, shiny, new EUB to play, but I suddenly have an audition/rehearsal in the first week of January and 22 songs to learn, only one of which I already know, so the WAV is receiving quite as much love as it normally would. However, this probably isn’t such a bad thing as I’ll hopefully avoid too many new aches and pains. It has received some love today, nonetheless. I tried playing it with one of the adjustments loose, allowing some back to front movement, aah! Much better. Quite pleased with my rendition of Africa and Cornflake Girl.

    Does not matter how you arrived at the bass, you are here now and that is what matters. Plenty of other people here who started on guitar, myself included.

    I'm hoping 'Awesome' will be appropriate.

    Sounds like a courier company. It also puts me in mind of the old word processing equipment company Wang. They used to answer the phone with that office's location, for instance, "Hello, Wang UK." Fairly innocuous until they had a temporary, exhibition office in Cologne.

    It’s a revelation so far. I’ve got the action where it’s comfortable (for a value of comfortable for what is really an entirely new and different instrument) and I’m trying to get to grips with the ergonomics and relax. I’ve watched a couple of beginner videos for height and left hand position to make sure I’m not ingraining bad habits from the get go. I’m slightly frustrated when my intonation is way off, which isn’t actually intonation, it’s totally the wrong the place on the board 😂. Trying to relax is an issue and I find I’m clenching my jaw a lot when I’m trying to play things from my normal bass repertoire (this is probably a mistake). However, this all falls away when I play something slower and incorporate open strings (which, I believe, you’re supposed to do more of with DB anyway) and that DB growl kicks in, then I can’t help grinning. I’m finding the static tripod a bit of a challenge and can see me investing in the end pin + frame that NS sell if I don’t learn to work with the supplied stand.

    This is classic failure to go in and amend profiles. I signed up yesterday to loo at a particular account, the basic sign up questions give a ridiculous wide array of what you do and what you're looking for. You really have to go back and make changes. On the JMB front, I put an ad in a while back and had radio silence and really couldn't be bothered to reset the ad every three days or so. Yesterday, out of the blue, I received an enquiry from a band, just half an hour down the road. I now have a list of tunes, a rehearsal/audition date and 2 gigs if it all goes well. Good things come to those wait? Hmm, more like dumb luck and right place, right time. Anyway, less of this, I have songs to learn!

    I like the term moveable anchor, sounds more like what I feel.

    That would help, as it looks OK to me in the ones above. Ultimately, if it bugs you, refinish it, if it doesn’t, keep adding that mojo through playing it.
