a thin strip of wood is a stretch. its the longest part of the body of an electric bass the strings have contact with. I will go with what Roger Sadowsky thinks.

Ive played a couple, didn't like them. For me personally there were a bummer to set up. Very uncomfortable. Didnt like the sound of them. And I dont like the look of them. But who am I. Doesn't mean anything to what I think.. The music that was played on them is unforgettable!.

oh I thought you meant someone who builds proper basses. sorry ez. 😆

Who.?

A stinging song about John Lennon, delivered in such a cool, breezy groove that most people don't even hear the rebuke in the lyrics. -
Can you enlighten me.?

I bet one thing. Alot of maple necks are lacquered so thus giving a brighter imo harsher sound.. no bass maker ever lacquers a rosewood fretboard. As always with these discussions it comes down to a sum of the parts. Put a lacquered passive necked jazz bass vs a Rosewood jazz bass. You could tell the difference slightly. You put active an preamp in the mix and start fiddlydidling. No chance. Personally i couldnt give a monkeys ball bag.im more interested in the music. They both sound great.

Maybe in my nativity i didnt think this through. I would like the BC members to put in some money each to help Dude keep his bass. If Ped would facilitate it i will put in the first amount. If many of us do the same thing. Hey presto. Dude keeps his Shuker. Bit like a crowd funding thing ?
-
If anyone is in need of keeping his bass its the The Dood. Im aware he loves that bass. With his input to the bass world through YT i think he deserves to keep that bass..I dont mind putting some cash in to help . Anyone else in.? Would hate to see him loose it. Im not sure how to do a crowd fund but PM with any ideas. This is BC we could probably do it.

Me personally I couldn't give a monkeys. 17mm to 19/20mm. just adapt to it. Doesn't take long. Cant do it. bollocks your just lazy. Too many bass players saying they cant do this they cant do that about the smallest differences on string spacing. Oh I need a high mass bridge blah blah. Grow a pair and just make music. I hate to say it but someone like Jaco Pastorius or James Jamerson would laugh at this

its millimeters. good lord anyone would think you were climbing Mount Everest. with respect.

A Lakland 5594 or a Lakland 5502. Why.? its got a neck thats the best in the bass business and it is super versatile.Best 5 string bass on the planet.. No doubt I do love an SR5 as the punch the neck are hard to beat. Tight string spacing though. A Lakland 5502 is the best bass ive ever played. fabulous instrument. Nothing on your list comes close.

I have to promote my really good friends music. His name is you guessed it. Mario Moya. ive been friends with this guy for many years. He played every instrument like bass other /programmed you hear on this record..
-
Hes now doing it with pickups.
-
Hes now doing a push in pull out pre and pickup swap with no soldering. Literally just put in most high end preamps and I mean literally just pull them out and put another one in. Innovation he is doing and its probably a game changer for years to come. But his basses are expensive so it will take years for these ideas to filter down to the lesser expensive basses. Devon has always been an innovator. I used to own one of his early j5s and it was killer. no doubt his modern basses are way better.

I wasn't aware of the original. Thankyou.
-
WOW forgot about this one Ped. Thankyou.

Its Incognito.........Of course the players are going to be world class. I never could work out who the bass player was. I think its Ernie Mckone. Who ever it is its utterly mind bending.
