So... Gone 'propper and nice', or are ya 'on the wonk'?

First - Standard... Straight up at a playing angle.. fishtails look a nice modern change over clover, specially in black on a matching painted headstock... (enough of a change) Second would be OK if not a std Fender headstock shape... (Headache) Third - Just looks Broken! (Migraine) I'm a plain n simple guy, i like a form follows function approach but dont like things that go out their way to up set the eye But... it's yours...

or miming to Mark King?...

You will probably be after flatwound strings... can you post a pic of the bass, and a close up of the strings?

Had a Zoom B1 Four off of Jezzaboy... Looks like New! Quick Comms, Posted Next Day, Arrived Day After, Well Packaged... All Good

The Camera Eye - (QUICKLY!... I'm in a bit of a) Rush...

Washing Machine going 'Full Tilt' 1600 Spin 'n Having a dance... Reminds me of Hawkwind 1980s Hamersmith Odeon 😁

No Guard but if ya can get a Clear or Smoked as you got the screw holes?

think there is a bloke on ebay from scotland iirc... not cheap mind......

not realy a Stinker... but Motorheads first album (although didnt get released till later on... or the On Parole versions of the tracks) with them finding their feet.. Then followed up by the Stonker that is Over Kill... 'prolly my fav Motorhead album. Such a change in pace and dynamic.

Hi Jolltax, Nice Bass... Quite a 'Rock' looking bass, but a nice mix of chamfer and bound edges, with the overall look softened by that tail. I like the Open Matt wood finish on a Bass, nice and subtle, rather than a shiney Gloss laquer, save that for the Geetardz. As for the action, this is usually measured from the top (crown) of the fret, - rather than from the fretboard - to the underside of the string... 3mm is OK - but yours may actually be less when measured the more standard way. Enjoy.

Anyone have a bit of bottle neck in there armoury? makes a change from the skinny strings glissing... Did a google and came across a few... quite like this on a 3 string. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DYf9nXHmAgKM&ved=2ahUKEwj48L_1y63vAhVXUBUIHQ8rBM4Q28sGMAN6BAgBEEQ&usg=AOvVaw1jDApcLWevOFpgma4ymaFT Something different...

Gone to SpondonBassed...

@SpondonBassed.. Posted Yesters... Warning: Contains Drug 'n Pink Floyd references... Now where have i put my Red Rips?...

The pup tape over windings does look quite exposed on that one... I likes a thumb rest up top, stuck one on the GSR... (now changed from plastic to a wooden one from the bay) as its a reverse p and further back, otherwise i'm thumb on the end of the fretboard. Lots of people dont like the look and / or use of a thumb rest... and fitting one, (and where, above or below?) may not be in keeping with the models original appearance, like tug bars under on an early P. look for 'Zero Mod' they might give ideas....

From the Thin Lizzy post above. Phil Lynott: THE ROCKER has just popped through the door via eBay... will give that a bit of a read laters... and about time Live And Dangerous '77 gets a repeat on Sky Arts...

Joe's Garage... Thing Fish... Strange concept albums. Or Check out my fav tracks 'The Torture Never Stops' and 'Bamboozled By Love'

After reading a recent 'Betsy' thread... Guy Pratt - My Bass and Other Animals - Book An interesting read, Happy to pass on to a fellow Basschatter... Here's the Deal... I'll post at my expense... You put a couple of quids worth of Dog food in the local supermarket 'rescue' bin or food bank?.. Then maybe repeat when ya finished with it... main winner is the woofa's! Anyone want to play?

Red Silk, but seem short at 3/4" or 18mm from Ball End...

@skidder652003 Thanks for the vid n tune... Trippy! Barny Bubbles... Liquid Len and the Lensmen... Porcupine Tree - I have a CD or two, but my fav is a 2 CD Sampler of all that sort of stuff called Pick 'n Mix...
