No, it’s a sincere warning. If you choose to ignore it is on you. It’s too late for some of us . Be afraid, be very afraid.

The J bass certainly.

I gave my, fairly large, vinyl collection to a friend (it was just sitting in the loft) some years ago. I don’t miss the crackles, the jumps and skips, the potential for worn out sections or the space required for storage, at all. What I do miss is the package they came in. Big enough to sit it on your lap and read the notes or get lost in the properly sized photos or some of the more complex artwork (Roger Dean, etc).

Sadly, this seems to be the vast majority of FOH engineers that I’ve come across.

And totally lost in the over the top bass drum.

I used to say (see yell), "I will cut it off!" All with a laugh of course

Fish puns? Why am I only herring about them now? I’ve plainly missed out. Hopefully, they were batter than the usual offerings.

Recent thread here with many suggestions…

To be fair, I’m mostly nitpicking as I’m more than happy with it. I can pretty much find fault with instruments at any price point if I’m honest, none of my basses are perfect in every way (for me). I’d certainly consider buying another ‘Ray SS and having it made fretless if I couldn’t find an already bumpless shorty. I think it’d make a great fretless.

Looks like Joe Dart is embracing the short scale vibe even more theses days, looks like a Musicmaster to me. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ2DjxBoygw/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CZuVI8ZIm6r/

I hope I’m not trying to teach my grandmother to suck eggs, but I think the best way to achieve a natural(ish) look to forearm wear, would be to to attach a piece of fine grade sandpaper to the forearm and pretend to play it. Otherwise, it can look all a bit ‘belt sander’ relic.

😱 NO! Back away from the cliff edge!

That body already looks nicely tatty, I doubt you’d need much more in the way of dinks for an authentic look, just a little ‘de-glossing’. Looking forward to the updates on this one.

Good work on posting a picture of your bass in your intro; nice. 👏👏👏

Hola.

Sometimes the Maruszczyk configurator is ridiculously slow and doesn’t update the image, although the price does, surprise, surprise. I’ve had your problem in the past, it’s annoying. Tell us what you’d like and maybe we could configure it and post the image and cost here. Either that, or give it another go tomorrow.

The best thing about this thread is that ‘losing’ really feels like winning.

Weird

Back in the MM club after many years. Very happy with this wee beastie. Nothing timorous about it, despite being passive. I thoroughly agree with @ped’s comment, “'Rays have the punch and thump of a P combined with the snap and texture of a Jazz,” it’s very a much a Swiss Army Knife tone. Adding a Sadowsky preamp to the SS turns it into a full on, active MM.

Really? Works OK for me. Browser conflict?
