Big airship, if it needs TWO TE combos to keep it down.

But, alas, almost no pubs left to gig in. 😢

Welcome aboard!

I think the 2020 rules said that gifts were OK, provided they were unprompted and you had no say in the matter. If that means you're out, then frankly who cares? It's a fabulous bass, and a really nice present.

I once had a client which was a large chemical manufacturer who had bought a number of other businesses. For their standard corporate reporting they required everything converting to US Gallons. Which was fair enough for bulk material, but one company made photolithographic sheets, which were sold by the square metre. I honestly can't remember if we just made up a thickness, but they didn't seem to understand that there was no direct conversion factor.

I do love the mix of imperial and metric units on machine tools and bits: '1/2" (12.7mm) diameter with 8mm depth of cut'

Welcome aboard!

I like that a lot!

That looks alright to me. Though I do agree with you, the back looks really smart.

What does the front look like? Surely it can't be too bad?

Sounds fairly generic, until 1:04 when the flautist walks in, plays a little melody, then goes berserk! Mr Williams was clearly a massive Jethro Tull fan.

Actually it's 5 string and while the neck is lost in the glare it looks like the tuners are at the bridge end, making it headless. On the right track? A 5 string headless at least narrows it down a bit, and it's not Status-shaped.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! No idea about the bass, but hope you find what you want in the marketplace here. 😁

Which have the better tone - AF, Whitworth, or Metric?

Like that - consider it pinched 😁

Clearly they don't want it to fall off! 😃

That's quite something! Is all the decorative metalwork attached to the bridge, or separate but very close fitting?

Possibly the most honest introduction ever! You don't by chance want to buy a 2006 Jaguar X150 that has developed a habit of overheating in traffic?

Welcome aboard! Lots of lovely people here to help you.

My daughter just recommended this one to me. Better than what she usually listens to. 😁

Welcome aboard! What's a Traben Array?

You mean a Steinberger? 😁

Better call the one-and-only @Smanth - she's the only person who could make that design. And actually make it work too!
