I don't own a signature bass and never have. I'm neither against them nor for them. The closest I came to owning a signature bass (a Ricky 4001 CS) was back in the early/mid 90's when I passed up the chance to snag one new. I even played it and lusted over it. Couldn't persuade my missus at the time that it would be a good investment. We'd gone in to the music shop to try out a piano for our two boys to learn music on. Did a deal on a piano and that was that. The sequel to the story is that the piano "investment" was given to charity about 25 years later and neither of the boys took up that instrument. Hey, ho..........that 4001 CS is still out there though.

Totally agree that the Peterson has the edge over the other clip-on tuners that I've had and used.

Another supplier here: http://egilegorbasses.com/egilegorbassesshop/en/search?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=Ramp&submit_search= He's based in Spain.

Still curious! Just have to wait and see, I guess.

Curious

Thanks. Yes : Spanish Copper. It's a lovely sparkly colour in the right lighting.

A couple of L-2000's

Just bought a Vanderkley Aurora amp from Brandon (@brutis88). Excellent transaction: smooth, very quick dispatch and great communications throughout. Buy/sell with confidence; Brandon is thoroughly recommended.

The classic car guys that I know all swear by this product for (vinyl) seats: https://www.kolorbond.co.uk/vinylkote-paint-leather-vinyl/ I have never used it though, so cannot give first hand experience.

With a bit of work, these Framus Vintage knobs will get you almost there. Here they are on my Wal bitsa.

I guess if you play "old school" with your thumb, then a tug bar gives you a place to put your fingers. Otherwise, it has nice "pose appeal"!

Good score....well done!

I was about to re-start rehearsals a couple of months back...............and then fractured my arm. Operation, screws, pins, the "whole nine yards". Then endless physio sessions. Damn! Last night was my first bass playing at a rehearsal........previously I was at last able to do backing vocals while a dep bass player stood in. "Rusty" ain't the word..........but I felt elated despite the self criticism on technique and overall sluggish performance. We'll get there!

Nice job @cd_david!!

Zuinigheid??........or more locally specific 😉

I've had a Vanderkley 212 and 2x112. No real difference aside from portability and flexibility with the 2x112's. I used to take a single 12 to small café gigs and the two separate 112's to larger venues. To be fair, the Vanderkey neo cabinets are all quite light.

Very sad news........and so young! May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of your plight. Tough, tough, tough!! Courage and best wishes for all the rest of your activities, Mr Telebass.

Great basses if you have back or shoulder issues........and if you want to travel and noddle on a bass. Here's my fretless 4 stringer.
