I have a Schack bass wih the preamp removed (bass now passive), I'll dig it out and see if it is the same.

Not parallel on the Longhorn: 42mm at the nut going to 52mm 12th fret.

I'll check later but I bet the Dano Longhorn is pretty much parallel.

Use the search function on Basschat as to 10 / 12 / 15 and 'sound/tone' because this thread is going to feel distinctly confusing very soon!

Easy peasey lemon squeezie. Contacted Rob as he was looking for a 5 string; after a few quick messages, we'd concluded the deal and Rob had paid me... how things should be. Enjoy the Marleaux Rob!

Does it have to be 'new'?

I was under the impression that PAT testing was just the power supply / IEC power lead. I needed to use some of my bass and PA equipment in a school show and the head offered to have the equipment tested to cover them/me. The tester simply tested the plug leads and said the actual equipment they were attached to had no relevance. I'm also another who can vouch that in 40 years of playing music I have been asked to ensure I had my PAT certs and PLI on numerous occasions (normally corporate events/venues) and they have NEVER actually looked at them. One venue insisted on this and upon arrival we were asked to set up in an outdoor marque with dodgy extension leads daisy chained from an outdoor shed that had no screws holding on the socket plate/cover... we walked.

Sadly, it was pitch black and foggy with ice patches on the twisty roads... but you are correct at least I didn't catch Covid while I was there.

I drove 35 miles to our gig on Friday evening (having phoned the venue to confirm it was still on), to arrive and have the manager tell us he'd literally just had 2 large bookings cancel on him and there were 3 people in the bar when he'd have expected 30 at that point in the evening! We were given money to cover fuel, which was a token payment when you consider the 70 mile round trip on country lanes, which meant I got home at 21:15!

Doh! However, it's Boris you know... it might be 2 'positive' by the end of the day!

7 days as of now (with 2 pos LFTs).

Fixed it for you.

To be fair, I've done this more than a few times. The band were always just pleased to have a 'bass player' as opposed to the 2nd guitar player moving to bass. On the flip side, we (a 3 piece) probably do 50% of our gigs with a dep drummer!

I had 8 gigs booked for this month; done 2, 3 have been cancelled already (venues getting cold feet) and we are holding our breath for the other 3!
