Great bass 👍

I'm liking playing with my thumb these days, something I started doing when trying to emulate the feel of a double bass albeit on an electric. I find it slows me down, simplifies what I'm trying to do, makes me more attentive especially to the drummist, and at times produces a tone I can't get using any other method. Of course, this opens a whole new can of worms as to the correct placement of my fingers 👍

Suspect you play to a better class of audience than me Steve 👍

Most expensive new bass I've bought was a 2007 Modulus Flea at around £1700 at the time IIRC 👍

Well, mine arrived damaged (although it could just be a bad day at the factory, it's hard to tell); not sure what that says about how much good it would be in an aircraft hold. It's otherwise an impressive piece of kit, so all going well i'm getting a replacement although currently the retailer in question is out of stock.... One thing that was noticeable is that a standard Fender Bass only just fits length-wise, initially I thought they'd sent me the guitar version. It's a very good/tight fit for sure, but as @Steve Browning said, it's not an easy in and out so perhaps not great on stage unless there's serious risk of damage. Having said this I've played a couple of gigs - mostly functions - where I'd certainly have put up with the hassle to keep the basses away from the "This your's mate, nice, can I have a go...?" punters

Always a bad time of year, but doesn't make it any easier. RIP

Apologies, misread thread, it was a used electric bass (custom colour LPB '64 Precision, MOB). A life defining moment in some respects, a big lesson in economics and the vintage gear market in others. I partly blame @Happy Jack

£8k. I know because I did. Would I do it again…🤔

Loving this 👍

Part of my history also, listening to White Punks on Dope in his memory 😕

Post Of The Year BTW 👍

Contender for POTY 😀🤔👍

Word 👍

And apparently headless Bongos are cool also, as you say, every day is a school day 😀

That’s more than a bad day on the Fodera production line 🤔

Yep, positioning machines is not something to be done in a rush 👍

Sure it’s fine, might even be a huge improvement on the original, but I suspect any buyer would want to know a few whys. Why did you do it, why is it better than the original, and why are you now selling it?

So why sell the bass you created for yourself?
