Blu De Tiger. This girl is going to go far.

Jaco is forgivable, I played with a drummer who’d never heard of Paul McCartney, who is probably the most broadly famous bass player in the planet? -

What I will say about the Fusion is that while it's extremely robust with a lot of padding, my standard 4-string Jazz Bass appears only just to fit with most of the padding removed. Precision and Stingray are both fine, just seems that the offset body shape has thrown the bag a curve ball that puts the headstock very close to end end of the bag and relatively unprotected by comparison with the level of protection in other parts of the bag. I'm pretty sure there would be a wide variety of basses that would not fit. https://www.fusion-bags.com/collections/guitar-and-bass-gig-bags/products/fg-double-electric-bass-guitar-gig-bag

Ever get that "Didn't realise how lucky I was" moment.....?
Beedster replied to Beedster's topic in General Discussion
It's an immensely impressive collection by any standard, even by the standards of immensely impressive collections, but certainly seems to veer firmly in the direction of what I've always thought of - rightly or wrongly - the Eurobass side of things. I'm a luddite Brit at heart, I like a Precision, if pushed a Jazz, if really pushed a Wal or a Ric. Despite that massive collection, it was the beautiful '70 Precision that caught my eye the most. Sorry Tony As an aside, I'll never forget - because it was so unexpected and inappropriate - what a musician said to me when he saw me with a Yamaha TRB-6 around my neck. Made me realise that 4 strings and Leo-designed is where my soul resides -
I was going to say you could have mine FOC but also a Precision neck, and to be honest, I suspect you'd probably not like it much either!

Not sure I get what you mean? EDIT Ah yes I do, nothing deliberate Tony, I think i just had BC fatigue at the wrong moment and was on the phone and out so failed to see them all 👍 -
Good spot 👍

Folks This recently made its way to Beedsters Home for Abused Basses. It's a lovely old bit of wood in the shape of a Jazz Bass that someone has really gone to town on, routing new PUP cavities with what appears to have been some form of agricultural machinery. Installed PUPs are a pair of Ibanez EXP-4s which I suspect I'm not going to get along with too well. I'm going to tidy things up and then I'd quite like to put in something PUP-wise that will be different to a Precision or Jazz. It's going to have a fretless neck and I can experiment with a J-Retro also. Present PUP size is 11cm x 3.5cm. Suggestions welcome

I had a double J-PUP at the bridge on a bass a few years back and never liked it, didn't have a lot of life, bit too close to the bridge I expect? -

How can we find out if a member has changed username?

I noticed that also, in his defence he has been equally rude to me under both usernames -
Spoke to Tim at East Street today, I love it when someone sounds keen to do the work despite being busy, and makes everything really simple. Thanks for the recommendation folks

I've got a Roscoe that's small enough to go on my back and is only marginally bigger than a single bass bag and a Fusion that is about the same size as Luxembourg 👍

I’ve got two twin bags, one very big and tough, one less so, couldn’t live without them 👍

I agree, but Fender haven't done this to sell the bass in question to players like Blu, they've done it to sustain their relevance with the demographic that aspire to be Blu. They don't care whether the bass sells by the 10s or by the thousands, but the fact that people are talking about Fender in the present tense, that some people new to Fender believe they are relevant, still others even that Fender understand them, that's where the mojo is for Fender 👍 -

I feel this thread - or this phase of this thread - has come to it's logical conclusion, final few lines of this seem relevant...... -

"Alexa, play Lonnie Donnegan" Gotta laugh, first song appears to be about 'The Young Folks' -

OK, I'm going to give it a go 👍 -

Just joshing mate, but that was exactly my point, we each have our own terms of reference for life, those that my daughter's generation share are very different to those of many if not most of the contributors on Basschat, and I suspect that this thread demonstrates it. Blu is very much a member of the former and is speaking to that demographic, our points of reference - as Fender's PR and marketing depts are aware - are largely irrelevant in this context. And I wish I could have liked Lonnie Donnegan, just one song! -
