The reason self-builds take so long is you have to wait from the right parts to come along and then be quick when they do! I only rarely buy new bodies or necks, they’re getting stupidly expensive, at least at the quality end, and I prefer played-in necks, and don’t ask me about my experience of buying new Allparts, it was not good….

EA yes, but Walkabout transparent?

I’d do the same albeit with Warmoth wood and Dimarzio PUPs, and have done a few times, but it usually takes several months so probably wouldn’t meet the 1-month criteria 👍

Just heard it on R6, had to Shazam it. Glorious 👍

More pricey but better finish https://thebassgallery.com/products/yamaha-bb2024-1

There’s a 4024 at Bass Bros, not my ideal finish but you’d be hard pressed to find a better bass at £1500 https://bassbros.co.uk/product/yamaha-bb2024/

I’d look at a premium Yamaha, head and shoulders above the rest in that price range 👍

They know there’s an imminent influx of loan-laden freshers 😕

Ooh, lovely basses, and a proper rig 👍

That’s not a Classic Vibe neck either, looks like cheapo Chinese in nitro, might be nice but might not be

There's a current thread re some small shocks a singer is getting from a mic and it prompted me to think a bit more about safety. Although I think I'm careful around this stuff, I'm probably not as careful as I could/should be - especially looking at the state of sockets and cables in some venues - so I'm keen to know what devices folks use to reduce the chances of electricity going where we don't want it?

It’s a sublime tone

Basschat needs more of this type of advice 👍

I’d have fired him on the spot

I've a set of these (passives) in a P/J and the tonal range is pretty good, although I also use a @KiOgon VT+VT circuit which no doubt helps. The Dimarzio configuration also allows for series/parallel (which I don't use) which could add to the range further. @KiOgon would no doubt be able to accommodate that for you https://www.thomann.co.uk/dimarzio_dp126_creme.htm?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1581403900&gbraid=0AAAAADuDMCVsgt3nuIAmWBp8w-ZIRu_lG&gclid=CjwKCAjwtrXFBhBiEiwAEKen13q8gI4Wbnp-qssTHm2S5XJAOeQ4RSDaRgl1NZCcBpIFOv_uLYc_mhoCCAIQAvD_BwE Re routing the body for humbuckers, you might just find that the thing that has kept this bass as a preferred gigging instrument gets lost in the mods

Very good post. I never assume wiring in any building is safe, speak to any domestic sparky about the stuff they’ve come across …..

That's a very high quality bass 👍

Is it just me......? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177354825803?itmmeta=01K3C6XXNFB1N5A14CFQEHQXRC&hash=item294b2be04b:g:mLsAAeSwmo1op2ig&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4MHg7L1Zz0LA5DYYmRTS30nrDGubrLqbjYuKo3GK0tDGkUkPpKiiea00I%2BSvwI94BsKBei9GjE%2F3ponIK5IKGF6wacdjxcX%2F9iaAgPk%2FRyIcOEheUSVvHXKxCrXlXP4SOVVJjeueryVWFzBfk6eoupflj02pUD7TXoHDIXx%2F9477qjf5vhb8dWqzfCIJ%2BufAfNFRXHo9Hipaphoq4CjQ5WDif91IUILkda5sk%2FdJ8FDw6sIJy%2Bd1Xfd50%2FSszaD942JFyvYo4GP4yQD%2FGWP7pMQJhC%2B4W6deb%2FudzGK5rrQA|tkp%3ABk9SR8Td94abZg

I've always found CCR songs harder to pull together than you'd imagine from a casual listen, good luck 👍

How much would it cost for them to use blanks and do it properly? To me it shouts poor attention to detail 🧐

Why a 4-string nut?
