If only more people were as self aware in this case. Well played, Sir. 👏👏👏

Other than the stand I bought for my EUB (tier 2 at worst), I’m still in. There have been a few things that have tickled my fancy, but either the GAS wire off, or someone beat me to it (a certain, red, Rickalike springs to mind here). Really not that bothered by anything at the moment, I’m even thinking of offloading some basses, as they’re just sitting there, doing nothing.

I had an Ibanez GWB35 (the matt black one). I stripped off the dull as ditchwater, black finish and the basswood underneath, whilst not flamed or otherwise, was pleasing in its plainness, I liked it. Sonically (if these things ever make a noticeable difference [opens can of worms]) it was absolutely fine and the weight was great and not just for a 5 string. I kind of miss that bass.

I reckon that’s a pickup.

I bought this kit to sort out a badly finished guitar. Also bought a fret end file (via Amazon IIRC). https://www.chrisalsopguitar.co.uk/shop/fret-polishing-kit-TA001?srsltid=AfmBOorVl_vE5B6EGi0Scw-TSn6ersupz69YEJCFtoAmfhoBpHhARlEX

Played my first big stage and ran across it - I was not wireless. Fortunately, I plugged back in in time to hit the signature riff. It was recorded and you can just hear the crackle as I reconnect.

Hmm 🤔. Ah that’s it, a fire engine driven by Margot Robbie.

Seconded. I mixed a FoH sound once, in a decent sized venue (not a pub/club). All I did was listen to the stage sound, then brought up the individual instruments so that it just enhanced/reinforced that original sound, no thumping/booming bass drum, etc. There were no complaints about the sound not being loud/visceral enough.

Whilst I visited The Bass Centre when it was in Wapping, I preferred it when it moved to the site, a stone’s throw from Liverpool St. I could legitimately pop in there pretty much any day of the week, without making a special trip out to Wapping.

Impressive work, Neep. As for the cable run, see above.

I remember seeing a video of Yes with Chris playing that bass, it sounded just like when he played a Ric.
