Great review, but you should comment on the sound too, don’t do yourself down. These have certainly caught my eye and I nearly went for a 4 string, non-Novax one. The clarity of the B string is of special interest as, if it’s reproduces well, flies in the face of the 35” scale preference of some manufacturers for 5 stringers. Enjoy.

IIRC the Gretsch G2220 has a P type width, good tone and is very reasonably priced at around £300.

I’ve been coming back to this, time and again over the last 2 days. Short and sweet, but I’m loving it.

@Lw. The Vintera neck is a P rather than J width (my JMJ is just 40mm BTW).

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that straight away. Right Here, Right Now - Van Halen

Yeah, Dog Ear that bad boy, it'll look ace IMO.

I've said it once and I'll say it again - WANT! Kudos, as always. 👏👏👏

YUP! I feel your pain.

I’ve been watching a fair bit of Bobby Vega recently and he said in an interview/clinic that the best bass is the one you have with you. A bit trite perhaps, but he makes a good point. Rather than searching for the ‘perfect’ bass by continually buying new/different stuff, which I’ve certainly been guilty of (often buying the same thing again later on in the pantheon of new comers), maybe find something that does the job and you quite like (at least don’t hate) and stick with it until it becomes part of you and your ‘sound’. Now, before you all start crying, “Burn the heretic!” let’s see how long it is until I forget the nonsense above and ‘must have’ a different bass 😂.

Has he recovered from the imprint of 12 machineheads being smacked into his face? I have a guitarist friend/acquaintance who revels in bassist ‘jokes’. Other than it just being a dïck move, he is actually not a funny bloke and his attempts at humour always seem to miss the mark. I even think I’m as good a guitarist as he is, as he only ever seems to churn out worn blues ditties and licks and I can do that.

Ooh, goody! Having just discovered the delights of SS, I’ll be following this with even more interest than usual, although I’m not sure that’s possible.
