I often think that the worst thing about Yorkshire is the bores who bang on about how great Yorkshire is. Are you the worst thing about Newcastle? Don't worry, I'm joking, I know that the worst thing about Newcastle is the pitiful state that the Brown Ale is in these days.

Why are people trying to turn this lovely thread into just another BC who-can-dislike-something-the-most-fervently contest?!

Would be interest to hear how you feel the 2EQ differs in character (if at all, beyond missing a mids control)

YouTube insisted on telling me how to recreate the synth bass line from Get Into The Groove ....and that made me wonder if anyone had done a bass cover of it that was beyond half-decent ....and what I found was something else ....really something

Ooh, I know, is it: a hat ?

Mozart Piano Concertos. When I was a teenager I thought they were shallow and trite and obvious. Pass the Bartok, please. Now I'm older and more battered by life and more than sufficiently acquainted with the pain within, nothing is better than a nice shallow trite obvious Mozart Piano Concerto.

They're both listed as G&L's usual 1⅝" (41.3mm) with a Slim C profile (which isn’t so usual)

As you get used to the exact feel of this exact bass, the distinctness of the markers will become less of an issue. I'd wait for a while, see how much better muscle memory gets first

That's great news. Initiate a nicely-mannered dispute now, which gets the two of you talking politely under PayPal's gaze. If they choose not to join in, it's pretty quick to get PayPal refunding you.

Feeling aware that a Stingray has an unignorable quality, would the addition of a boost pedal like a Xotic RC to a non-identical 2nd bass allow it to perform as a backup without running the risk of seeming a bit underwhelming?

Is he okay with this fact being made public?

The standard option on US-built G&L basses is Chechen (also called Caribbean Rosewood, but not, I think I read, actually part of the Rosewood family). I paid for an upgrade to Indian Rosewood purely for looks: not only is Chechen quite a light shade, but often looks very streaky too. I can't say the fretboard I got is especially beautiful, but at least it's got a nice even colouring.

This should be a doddle

doing whatever Malcolm says

Sisters of Mercy, 1990. Oof. Elliot Smith, touring Figure 8, drowning himself and his songs in distortion. (Grandaddy, around the same time, same venue, best gig I've ever been to. The crowd were seemingly in a state of universal bliss. Mr Singer said at one point, yeah this is something for us too.)

I am too ignorant to turn that list into a x-y=z sum for your basses, but I'm enjoying the pretty collage, thank you

With hindsight, I shouldn't have used the words bought and sold. Something meaning arrivals and departures would have been better — which basses joined you, which basses left you. So for sure your Encore counts, for me (whereas my LB-100 — paid for in full in August but still unbuilt — does not)

So famously in the unmemorable sense?

The ESP LTD B-4

[Final table further down]

So is their Bruce Thomas Profile p-bass. The neck profiles are listed as being a lot more shallow than the Yamaha BBs. 424 etc — 22mm / 25mm 434 etc — 21mm / 23mm Bass Centre — 20mm / 22mm The Yamaha TRBX174 and 204 PJs have 40mm nuts and 21mm / 24.4mm profiles

Someone told me that German Sandbergs are 39.5mm. I'm totally ignorant of Sandbergs, so I don't know that's true or not!
