That's great!

That's good of you to chip in to help promoting the projects you're in being a bassist unless you're fronting the band yourself. I'm normally seen and not heard if I'm a sideman! 😂

As i live in London, I prefer to walk in to venues, the old school way if I'm fronting a band. Otherwise, being a sideman I don't need to get involved in that department.

How do these compare to the old Status replacement necks?

I joined facebook (about a year or 2 ago) and since have stopped posting here as facebook seems to have consolidated everything I use to do on the web in a single website! It's actually taken the fun out of posting and reading about bass guitars and bassists... It's just all superficial click bait & with little to know substance. I suddenly realised I was just scrolling through endless reels of 1 minute videos designed to grab my lizard brain attention. And the groups are just again, post a flashy pic of a fancy bass and lets all celebrate... zero discussion, good or bad 🙂‍↕️. So I have decided to quit facebook and just use bass forums and X. At least with X there's discussions but not so much about the bass guitar, so that's actually a good thing, it's an untapped market! Anyway, does anyone feel the same or am I just getting old. great to hear you thoughts 🙏

Bass lesson #3 is now available on X. This morning we're going over the notes of the C Major scale in the 'A position'. I also introduce the II - V - I chord progression.

Your Morning Bass lesson number 2 is now live, It's a bit longer so you might want to spend a bit of time in the evening or weekend on this one! Bass lesson #2 -

Thank you!

Hi! I have just started a 100% free bass course with morning videos posted only on X. I'm going to start right at the beginning and then go through all the harmony and technique you need to get you out of those old playing habits and exploring new ideas and ways to play your instrument! Thanks for looking guys!

A rough demo of an original tune performed on my trusty Jaydee Series 3

Still a demo but if anyone is interested in smooth jazz, bass guitar & sketchy recording techniques...

Thanks for the advice!

English bass collection so far....

Thanks for the info... side LEDS... very nice!

I have now switched the order to a 4 string as I never play 5 string basses.. In the mean time as this bass is going to take at least 18 months, another 2nd hand Sei Flamboyant 4 string bass appeared for sale at the Bass Gallery, so i thought i might as well just buy this one to keep me company whilst waiting for the the build to complete (the one on order will have a maple fingerboard and EMGs for a brighter funk sound...) If anyone knows who the original owner was, it would be interesting to know the history of a bass & what all the knobs and switches are for??? Picking it up on Saturday & asked John to put som 45-105s on it...

Good point!

yea post it in the for sale forum and i might be interested, please also include the weight...

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I have gone with something based on the 5 string version of this bass: Martin is going to run a few other ideas passed me but we have a good base to work from!

What a beauty!
