    If it were my double neck, I'd swap the necks over and have the fretless on top like @Bassassin's Gordy. YMMV. That handover with @stewblack looks like you're both pulling a massive wishbone 😂.

    Northwards trip starts tomorrow, pm me if I need to pack it in the car.

    My Jake L has a little neck dive on the knee, but doesn’t move once it’s on a strap. Time for some gratuitous self promotion 😉

    This one?

    That is lovely looking and a subtle deviation from the norm. I also like your comment (isolated and now in bold) just to remind folks that these are great instruments and potential buyers should not to be completely swayed by the odd negative comment.

    Nice pair.

    I’m intrigued by the notion of them not wanting an upright because of social distancing .

    Trip northwards starting Thursday if any potential buyers want to meet up along the M40/M6/A74(M)/A9 corridor (bloody long corridor!).

    Very true, but I think I might have either refinished it, or held it back for a later release. There is also a 5 string at Bass Direct with a faded back, but it's way more tastefully done than the 4 string, which looks like it hasn't been sanded properly. But, as you say, I don't have to buy it and I won't.

    I’m surprised that this one was let out into the wild so early on in this new incarnation. Also, given that this is B stock, it’s not exactly had a huge amount knocked off the price.

    The back of that bass looks like a poorly executed relic 🤮.

    Every day's a school day. I never knew that either.

    Unless you’re a totally slavish, tribute band, adding your own embellishments is fine and what makes one a musician and should be encouraged IMO ( @Beedster’s a-hole guitar player needed a slap). Even the lines played by any of the original players are often different live anyway. The TP & The Heartbreakers tribute I play in use live versions for our sets rather than the album version (sometimes causes confusion when we forget to coordinate source material 😂). As to the WZ versions, I prefer the original line as it feels more ‘greasy’ and in keeping with the overall feel of the song (which I first heard in the soundtrack for The Colour of Money).

    In short - no. I quit music in the 5th year and took motor engineering, which I did find useful for maintaining my early bangers. The reading of the treble clef I learnt at primary school was the most useful musical thing I leant at school.

    Beat me to it.

    Planning a trip up the M6/A74(M) shortly, so can meet up if anyone in The North wants to buy.

    On paper, it should be better. However, you never know until you try them out. Will either sound like a P bass? Yes, but bear in mind that not all P basses sound the same. There will obviously be a number of videos on YT, but here’s a couple to get you going:

    Assuming you’re playing an SR 4 string, you’ll be used to a narrower nut width and slightly smaller body than you’d find with a Fender P. In which case, I’d suggest a Squier Classic Vibe Mustang: narrow nut width, small body, split pickup in the right right position and definitely within your budget. Or, if you want a bit more flexibility and medium scale, a Squier CV Jaguar.

    And so it begins - again 🤣.

    I have no experience of their bass pickups, bit if they are anywhere as good as their P90 pickups for guitar, I'd definitely give the Artec Mudbucker pickup a go https://www.northwestguitars.co.uk/ebc4-mudbucker-pickup-for-sg-bass/ ridiculous value for money and quality tones.

    Bank Holiday bump.

    My first 4 sets of EB cobalts were pukka, the most recent set that I had fitted free by GG under an EB promotion, just weren’t right (patches of discolouration and not as lively as the previous sets). Given other reports of QC issues with cobalts seems to indicate a production problem, or at least a lack of thorough checking before releasing them into the wild.

    I have a Maruszczyk Jake (chambered P bass) for sale with a 40mm neck too. 😁

    Ooh, er, Mrs!
