Welcome aboard! BC should keep you entertained until you can gig again. Stay away from the market place 😄
-
Welcome aboard! Lots of love for Ibanez in these forums. I do like the headless in your first pic.

Welcome aboard!

The electronics for this are phenomenal! This a a bass which will freak out FOH engineers as it has it's own PSU, freak out airlines with the Lithium batteries, freak out the drummer who is the only other person to see the back of the neck, and hopefully freak out the audience with the sound. This has got to appear at Bass Bashes up and down the land when we are allowed them again. Or we will find out where you live and descend en masse.

One for playing on stage - with a certain sweet-smelling fug wafting in from the audience. Mellow-out guys, don't be cruel dudes 🌻

Following with interest, mainly to hear what it sounds like when finished. Tinkering and messing with stuff is good. 👍

"I'm delighted to inform you Mr. BassTool that you have passed your tractor driving test on the 13th attempt. You picked up a minor failing due to occasionally missing one of the three cross-linked reverse gears. Otherwise well done."

Welcome aboard! Do head on over to the build diaries and post there if you have pics of the work in progress. Always good to see a new instrument come into the world. Unless maybe it's a trebble recorder... 😬

That's very nice indeed! -
Posted to the "BassChat Famous Quotes" thread, as both a warning to us all and a reminder of the reasons we all waste so much time on here 😁

Welcome aboard!! I have had a bass almost three years, and three years ago I couldn't play. Now I still can't play very well - but what the heck, I can get through a song, muck about in tune and on time (generally) and I enjoy myself 😁 I found StudyBass.com and Scotts Bass Lessons both hugely valuable. The former is genuinely free, very well structured and well presented. Scott Devine is a bit Marmite, but the academy content is good. Loads of support on here.

Welcome aboard!

It doesn't. But why would that stop us keeping it going?
-
That's a road to bankruptcy!

Respect! 👍

Just to be sure I understand- that's going on the back of the neck? 😲
-
Drop. Dead. Gorgeous. One day I will commission an @Andyjr1515 build. My playing will never justify it, but if nothing else my son will inherent and he plays bass too.
-
They are not conventionally pretty, but everything I have read about these says they are great basses, especially for live rock. I'd love to try one, but not right now. GLWTS! -
Welcome aboard! Lots of first time builds have been recorded in the build diaries, and the lutherine super heroes will be on hand to help. (if lutherine isn't a word it should be. Like Wolverine)

Welcome aboard!!

The 2020 rules were pretty clear. If its in the signal chain it counts: basses, amps, preamps, pedals, some PA gear I think. The exceptions were consumables (strings, cables, picks) and replacements for breakages. Having said that, arguing about whether a particular purchase is in or out is half the fun 😉

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! Stick around after you've bought the bass. We're a friendly bunch and have members from all over continental Europe and incontinent America. Most of us also have a taste for terrible puns and wordplay, which will stretch your English as well. Though not as far as the equivalent would stretch my schoolboy French.

Presumably though, you can't adjust the action if there is no truss rod. Other than the bridge height?
