Shocked and saddened to read this.
One of the regulars probably since I joined in 2008 or whatever.
Only communicated through PM but a gentleman every time - Will certainly be remembered alongside the core members that have passed.
Thank you and RIP.

Spent the time to set this up in E Standard, with neck straight and action low, but very easy to set up in lower tunings (previously had it in Eb).
Will leave it up for a couple weeks longer and then I'm going to take the cellophane off and start using it.

My US Musicman Sterling had dead spots, so look out for those.

yeah when playing a long scale at the second fret all i can think about is how wide the neck is and how much the headstock sticks out with this huge bulky body..🙄
And then you drop it and run away like Raheem Sterling

I'm sure Jack Bruce gave as good as he got dealing with his d1ck of a drummer when the latter was drunk or hungover (ie most of the time)
...After he got the long scale thumb.
During the short scale era, he got his ass kicked and called Jack 'The Spruce' on account of all the spring cleaning he did - It's in his autobiography.

Recent research showed that if you play short scale basses, you're more likely to endure some testicle shrinkage and adopt the name 'Nancy'.
I can't recall the source.

I'm also 6ft and I find the string tension and feel of a 34" scale, miles better than anything short scale. I've owned short scales for a while before and I just find them 'cramped'.

They'd make an absolute killing if they could price properly.

Same outfit that built the Epiphone Jack Casady, but their own top of the range spec...

I have a Carvin Icon 4 and a Carvin SB5000. My two main basses for modern and vintage tones. Both are flawless instruments.

Will include hand signed sketch of the band, British Lion, including Steve Harris' autograph.

Thank you - A shame they didn't make more as they really hit their stride with semis in the early 2010s. Discontinued and no longer export etc.
The 5 ply neck and roller/stop tail bridge is a very sensible detour from original designs.

Did anyone manage to get an encore out of British Lion? I would have loved for him to play the ides of March or something from UFO.
Didn't hang around afterwards, but certainly would have done to get a photo with him.

Got to see my original inspiration Friday night...

...And he threw his wristband to my dad and I, which was a wonderful moment.
When I was a kid, I had the 'Piece of Mind' album and Thin Lizzy's 'Black Rose' cassette tapes, which made me want to play bass.
WASP's 'Crimson Idol' and Big Country's 'The Buffalo Skinners' made me pick up the guitar too.
I don't listen to Steve (or Phil) much any more, because Jack Bruce and Chris Squire just took it that little bit further, but it was incredible and exhausting to watch him in action.
British Lion as a band are incredibly polished live, but the dynamics came through in a way that the albums just can't capture (modern technology). I'd thoroughly recommend the gig if you get the chance to see them.So who made you pick up the bass?

Yep ^ I went for a John Birch in my teens, but it wasn't as good. I think I moved to a Goodfellow and then an EB3 Supreme,

Just out of interest, did they do a factory fretless version?

I love that pickup configuration - Does everything that a modern bass can't and packs more wallop than a P or J. Should feature on more basses.

One last bump for these and then I'll get the Jack Bruce framed.

Thank you - That would have been perfect for my Overwater, which I sadly had to part with. Unfortunately I only have 34" remaining.
Really like this series of strings - GLWTS.

What's super long in inches? Is it a set for 35/36 or 34? Can't seem to find the deets.

Truss rod adjustment at the heel (without the wheel) is a solid dislike. I hate popping the necks on any of my guitars. I think I have 1 guitar where I would need to do that.
That takes the prize for most unusual so far.
