These new Fender ones do look very good indeed. The sides almost look solid in the pictures, what are they like in the flesh?

Yes, they were a Bill Lawrence design. The original RB signature bass was made by Stevens and was a 6 string IIRC.

Early in the Morning - Bad Co

Port Out Starboard Home (POSH) - Lionel Jeffries from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Lovely collection of ‘80s classics right there.

Money’s Too Tight (To Mention) - Simply Red

That’s a very good point. You can always put it back.

Certainly looks that way.

Likewise.

If that box stays sealed, the teasing will be even more strongly felt at NJ’s end (sounds rude, wasn’t meant to be).

That’s what I thought.

Well that’s just cruel.

Get ready to become addicted to the charms of the Mustang, I know I am.

Tech21 Bass Fly rig or the Valeton clone, the Dapper would cover you there.

Welcome from another north of the border BCer, there are a good number of us (although I’ve only been here 10 months).

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden

Fade To Grey - Visage

Different nut widths too, the PJ being J width the Vintera being Precision-esque.

Everything I’ve played from the Vintera range has been good. It’s nice to hear that this is still the case. Happy NJBD!

Oh, I like that - a lot! I hear Yes, Flying Colours and Dream Theatre in there, all of which is good. I saw John Young playing keyboards for Quango (basically Asia without Downes and Howe) many years ago and they were excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Gah! That’s annoying. However, this… I’ve only just noticed the lollipop tuners - cool! (I’m a recent convert to these)

That was my thought, but I reread @Dood’s post in case I’d missed something and I think the recording in question is Yes.

I’ve had albums change my musical life. Made In Japan introduced me to hard rock, I disposed of all my pop albums and went down the rabbit hole of heavier music. Before that, CSNY’s 4 Way Street and Neil Diamond’s Hot August Night made me want to learn guitar. Later, hearing Pino made me want to jump ship from skinny strings to bass. As I then pursued different musical avenues after these events, my life changed in that respect.

Shoreline Gold is such a cool colour. Given my aesthetic preferences, I shouldn’t like it, but I absolutely love it ever since I saw it on a Roscoe Beck Signature.

I suppose it depends on your body shape, but I’m 6 foot, 85kgs and have medium sized hands. Speaking of ugly… 😆
