Man alive that’s a small bass! I had a 1605 which was pretty lithe, but this new beast makes the 1605 look like a great big chubby thing; no wonder it’s so light. Not having the correct tools or an accurate manual is pretty shabby though.

Hmm, I smell a rat!

I'm thinking of a Dad's Army quote, can you guess which one? 🤣

Another masterpiece. That rear cavity cover is almost invisible in one of the photos. I hope you’ll post this on GC too, or at least a link to it.

That Spector is getting a lot of exposure and I suspect that it is stoking some ferocious GAS hereabouts. I appear to be immune (so far) as I think it’s great but it hasn’t got me looking for them online - time will tell though 😂.

I’ve subscribed to Lee’s channel, but I still watch them here too (it depends which I fire up first YT or BC, it’s normally BC). I like to add to the kudos as I wouldn’t have known about these videos in the first Bass if it wasn’t for @NoirBass 👏👏👏

I'm not massively up on the different interface types, the cable mine came with was USB A -C (spec here https://www.thomann.de/gb/focusrite_scarlett_solo_3rd_gen.htm ).

Garageband at the moment, but I'm also keen to check out Ableton as there's a free version available with the Solo.

Just bought a solo (I looked at the PreSonus iOne too, but the reviews of the Solo were better and I’m not recording with my iPad or iPhone) and it’s great. TBH, I don’t have anything to compare it to, this being my first USB interface, but the quality seems pukka; I’m glad I went the extra £20.

😍 That is all.

Mmm, big jazz box 🤤 (stop it, all of you, right now 😂)

I had one of those, the Big Singles are lurvley. I’m a largish guy (6 foot, 85kg) and I eventually found it a bit small for me. Beautifully put together and light as a light thing.

Ditto. He is amazing, hasn’t changed in look, voice or talent in decades. Amnesia and Rumour & Sigh still do it for me.

Corts have always offered massive bang for buck and a singlecut would be different. However, when have Yamaha ever made a less than excellent instrument at any price point? Although, I’d have to go for the trans black rather than the fingerprint magnet, but that’s just me. Interesting choice, I doubt you’ll be disappointed either way and if it were me, it’d probably come down to aesthetics and weight.

Good Lord, man! 👏👏👏 Now if you could just go back and TAB it out for us too. Ooh, is that my coat? It’s ok, I’ll get it myself. 😂

Ding dong!

And the size of the room to house said sitting place (and basses).

A jazz playing friend of mine just shared this on Facebook. No, not jazz, ladles and jelly spoons - Celtic Prog!

According to the Fender website, the Vinteras are P bass width too. Shops seem to be quoting narrower, but I reckon Fender are right.

I’m lucky enough to be a 20min drive from my local GG and a train and tube journey from The Gallery. I’d always give these guys a chance to match an online price, or get very close, and buy the kit I’ve tried.

I had a ‘59 Bassman (4x10) reissue for guitar duties back in the day for which it was awesome, the best sounding guitar amp I’ve ever owned/played through. When the low end came a calling, I obviously wondered what my new bass would like through it. It sounded great. However, IIRC it did rattle a bit as they were then built for midrange and up guitars, rather than thunderously low P bass action.
