Round-about - Yes

Low Rider - War

Careful With That Axe Eugene - Pink Floyd

Too Hot To Handle - UFO

I remember CSL from my youth. Always a good step up from the other, non major brand names that were around at the time. Some very nice upgrades you've put on that beast too.

If that Mustang is still humming after shielding, check the continuity of the shielding. Does it go away when you touch the strings/bridge? I shielded my JMJ but still had some hum, I found I wasn’t getting continuity from the pickup rout to the control rout. Ran an extra piece of copper tape from the pickup rout over the top of the body so it made contact with the control plate - all peachy. I like those pickguards.

When I’m Calling You - Nelson Eddy & Jeanette MacDonald.

Saline - Rod Stewart

One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer - George Thorogood

Just…

Do it, do it!

Weird matching headstock, nicotine staining?

An easy, albeit annoying, fix.

Try Siberian Khatru and their cover version of America. Before I got into them, these were really the only tracks I could get on with. Which is the marvellous thing about music (or art in general), just because others rave about something, doesn't mean it's for you. The amount of big name bands/artists that I can't stand, or find barely tolerable, is quite something.

So much Pedulla Penta loveliness @Chris2112 & @dclaassen. 😍

That amount of space between the stands is unprecedented! I normally have to do a quick tour of a show, followed by a careful trawl. I think I’d have been done in half an hour total here. At least Sheldon has had other ‘clinics’ he’s done whilst he’s here - Guitar Guitar for instance. However, I take your point.

Town Called Malice - The Jam

Hmm, it changes, but currently (and for quite some time) it’s my JMJ Mustang. It really has ‘something’. I make sure I pick up my other 4, but this one sees the most action.

Come and Have a Go If You Think You're Hard Enough - The Mekons

That’s it, it’s hard to define, it’s just… more, without being in your face.

Definitely worth a try, it’s a great sounding bass. The reason I moved mine on was that I couldn’t cope with the weight. Those bezels are brilliant and make the whole thing far more playable for fingerstyle. Good luck.

The Sadowsky pre amp is not nearly as powerful as many out there (I’ve owned an East pre in the past and had many active basses), but I find it adds just the right amount of ‘fairy dust’ to my passive basses (I use the pedal based version). If I wanted an on board pre amp, I wouldn’t hesitate to use a Sadowsky. YMMV.

Nantucket Sleighride - Mountain

No apologies required. It’s just BC form to comment when it’s been a while and 6 years is a while and a half. You’ll get the hang of it. Which leads me to… Back on topic. I see you’re also a Geddy fan (good for you 👍). I think one of the things that we can all learn from messrs Squire, Entwhistle & Lee is that what could kindly be described as a gnarly tone, soloed, is absolutely perfect in a band mix. JE’s mixed tone on The Real Me is one of my favourites of all time, but soloed I hate it.
