What would constitute a lightweight body for a bass, to then add a neck, electrics and hardware and come all in at, say, 3.6kg? Asking for a friend.....

another thought. I know you are a Trace Elliot chap - I have one of these kicking about...

Clearly Victor Wooten lacked one of the first two

Pic of yours, please. it sounds lovely

That's that, then. Barefaced has a lot of fans on here. 😁

I always liked these two

That is what I was going to suggest - leave it in for a while, though. I managed to deodorise a pair of my old slippers with good old bicarb.

D!ck Van Dyke 😁

This was my ear worm this morning so I had to give it a listen. Great lyrics, always makes me smile.

Phil Lynott?

'The Wizard' was one of the first things I learnt on the guitar, the album was one of the first 'proper' albums I bought, too. Always had a soft spot for that early Heep era. Only Micky Box left

Different strokes for different folks - I love mine and find it extremely comfy to play.

I have more than I need and most of what I want. One of the 70s/80s quality MIJ short scale EB-3 copies would be nice but my world will keep turning without one. The trouble is that GAS, like Zeros, comes at you from out of the sun and will strike without warning. I'll read of something on here then move Heaven and Earth to try and get it. I'm even worse with plants.

I can think of plenty the other way around - whose work I prefer before they went commercial - but struggling with post commercial stuff. Possibly, because Thrash Metal isn't my thing, Metallica. I liked the black album and a few bits and bobs since then but not much before.

Are these grippy or slippy, please?

Isn't that about having a fat @rse?

Absolutely. I've owned several Thunders. 3 or 4 1As, a 1, a fretless 1A (now that was nice), a couple of Thunderjets. The 1As were wonderful but way too heavy. Later ones were lighter but they changed the pickups and I wasn't so keen on the tone from them. Thunderjets were the lightest (and arguably coolest) of all. All this talk of Westones is giving me GAS, damned Basschat! I can just imagine a Thunderjet with an Entwistle PBXN 😍 I may have to seek one out....

Nothing bothers me particularly but I am not keen on seeing the ends of strings wobbling about dangerously, rather poked down into the middle of the tuners.
