I've never heard of him before but really enjoyed that YouTube link. Thanks for sharing.

No offence taken whatsoever. And it's true,I was ignorant of the facts 😊

Noted. That was based off my own ignorance.

Interesting topic. I'd always considered Leo Fender to have been a luthier but reading this thread I'm not so sure now 🤔

Bass is too awesome an instrument for me to feel any hatred towards,even the ones I didn't bond with and had to move on.

My daughter did that to me once in a busy music store and it cut like a knife. In my defence it was my standard warm up pentatonic scale routine that I tend to do when I first pick up any bass but still 😅

Love it 😎

You need a reason to own more than one or two basses? Goodness my wife better not read this as she queries why I need 3 😁

Actually YES I remember having to click on the reply button more than once because nothing was happening. Thanks for helping me to remember. I'll know not to do that again going forward 😊

To be honest I can't remember if that was the case.

Just a bit 🤔

Now I can only see one of my comments as should be and not 3. Can you still see 3? Very weird.

I typed it out once and once only. No idea how it appeared 3 times 🤔

Got you 👍

Of the CV 60's P Bass?

Not boring at all. It's where I want to be one day.

Active for me. Why? Totally addicted to the sound of my Warwicks and the Marcus Miller hifi Jazz bass tone. I don't "dislike" the passive sound but play active 100 percent of the time. I've owned Sires in the past and NEVER flipped them into passive mode ever unless it was to test the bass the first time.

Never use a back up bass. Batteries however...

I have a broadneck Warwick Thumb 5 string and a broadneck Streamer Stage One 5 string that ain't going nowhere. Everything else seems to come and go. Also I factor in their rarity on the used market so that plays a small part. They hardly turn up!

Call him. Sometimes they get busy and don't always answer my emails either I've noticed.

Ah fair enough. I thought I read that all Sire 5 string bridge spacing was 18mm. I didn't measure it so I can't say I'm sure 👍

Squier Affinity Active Jazz Bass V. Fender MUST be shooting themselves in the foot even a little bit with these. How an entry level Squier feels, sounds and plays like these is genuinely beyond me. For reference my main basses are German Warwicks. I only tried one because it was the only 5 string PMT Romford had on the wall that day.I was NOT shopping for one 🤷‍♂️ On went the obligatory DR Sunbeams and a tort pickguard. Very happy 😊 And the B string feels and sounds like a B string should.

Totally dig the Warwick headstock.

Oh you won't like this then: 18mm to the 17.5mm of the SR5 🤣
