Maybe it’s heavy water? I’m an earth pig; lovely 🤔.

Proof that @Cat Burrito is good for metal. Same bull, different packet.

As @SpondonBassed alludes to, you’re going fit right in.

Once Upon A Time In The West - Dire Straits

Hot For Teacher - Van Halen

I’m going to feed the passion and buy something.

You've already had the vaccine.

I recently bought a Tour Tech from Anderton’s for my Epi J200, I was really impressed with the sturdiness.

Be Careful With That Axe Eugene - Pink Floyd

This is good to know and certainly explains their 2-6 day delivery estimates. I was considering buying from them but I think I’ll wait until my preferred outlets have stock.

I’m sad and happy for you at the same time. You’ll still stay with the forum though?

My simple answer to the OP is, no. I’ve played less, which I know is not good for my mental well being, never mind my chops. The double whammy is that I, like most folk, not only have I no gigs on the horizon, but I now have no bands either, having moved from the SE to Scotland. This also means that I only have one bass with me, whilst the other 3 are elsewhere in storage or being sold via The Gallery. Other than an online recording collective (which has only done 2 tracks in the past year), I have nothing and the small lodge I’m temporarily in isn’t exactly conducive to playing as Lady Ez needs to work in the same space. However, I’m hopeful that once the local music scene gets going again, it will provide me with an outlet.

What, altogether, or temporarily (hopefully the latter)?

On two of my basses, I’ve taken a piece of dowel, split it down the middle, shaped it and attached it to the p/g with double sided tape. Once I was happy with the size, shape and position, I removed it, finished it with a couple of coats of black nail polish and fixed it on with two small spots of super glue (to facilitate easy removal, if required). I would post photos, but they’re away in storage, 500 miles from my current location 😢. If I find an old photo, I’ll post it.

The Trail of the Lonesome Pine - Laurel & Hardy

I’ll take that as a no. 🤣

Have any of the posts helped you focus your search?

Hello Hooray - Alice again

Boris The Spider - The Who

C'mon Everybody - Eddie Cochrane

Finish What Ya Started - Van Halen

I had the 4 string version and whilst it was weighty (just like every MM I’ve owned) it was perfectly balanced on the strap. With this in mind, I’d probably shy away from weight reduction behind the p/g (contour that bad boy for sure though), especially given the additional headstock weight of a fiver.

Cigarettes, Whiskey & Wild, Wild Women - Jim Croce

Closing Time - Semi Sonic
