I had the seniors recline on the sofa. You know, them being old and all.

I was wondering if anyone knows about a gig bag that'll fit. I really don't like hard cases, sooooo which gig bag would fit?

I thought my collection was complete. Well, I always had GAS for a vintage Gibson EB-2 but they were way out of my budget. And then I found one online here in NL, for a decent price. Non-original knobs and switch (pots are original), non-original truss rod cover and a non-original case. But boy is this bass amazing. So happy.

Took a pretty long time to get to this mofo.

Honestly no idea, haven't tried a Small Clone. I really like the versatility of the Julia.

The BassRig and the Julia V2 arrived today😎

My lovely minimalist rig last Friday❤️

Get one. They're absolutely amazing. I'm GASsing for an Origin BassRig 64 preamp but I already have a Trickfish Minnow. And it's expensive.

Tomorrow Mastodon, Friday Meshell Ndegeocello😎

I know that, I even almost bought a Contemporary. But when I use my Mustang, my GAS disappears.

Haha yeah I know the feeling...I started this topic on January 12th, and 12 days later... But my next GAS object that has no purpose or need whatsoever is a Höfner Club bass. Lucky for me I don't have the funds for it.

Next Wednesday: Meshuggah and Zeal & Ardor. Very, very, very excited.

Recently acquired this late '70's ET-285 that desperately needed a new pickguard. So I got it one, just put some new DR flats on it, gave it a good setup and it's a really awesome bass now.

Just got this back from the repair shop: a late 70s Epiphone ET-285. It needed a new pickguard, so I got it one Sounds amazing, needs a setup and I might give it some flatwounds. Great, almost Spartan feeling bass.

Whoa, that Valenti looks amazing!

Sooooo I got this amazing Sadowsky MetroExpress five string, and I'd love to give it some more juice with new pickups. I ordered a set of Lollar 5-string pickups, but it turns out they're 4.1"/100 mm for the bridge pickup. Before I take my bass to a luthier for those extra mms, I want to explore what else is available. I know there are Nordstrands that are 3.73" and although they're good pickups, they're not exactly my sound. Are there pickup makers that build a 3.73" set? Not all makers state the dimensions of their pickups on their website so I was wondering if you guys have experiences to share.

Probably. I have the same with one of my Sadowsky basses. I currently own six Jazzes and i guess the universe is telling me that's the perfect amount of Jazzes.

But but but a person needs a Jazz Bass in their life🥺

This might be...the perfect collection? I thought I was doing pretty well but this is just faultless.

I was just summing up the concerts I have planned this year. And oh boy, am I in for a treat. Thundercat, Dadi Freyr, Denzel Curry, Meshuggah, Electric Callbow, Mastodon, Meshell Ndegeocello, Converge, Sons of Kemet, Neal Francis, VOLA, Moderat, Sigur Rós, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Rammstein... All this year. Hopefully.

Did a small gig yesterday with this killer rig. Looks amazing, sounds great and is incredibly portable. Lovely.

These are Fender basses

Nobody cares, sorry

I had the renowned "Skarbee" bass.

Well, I have both at home right now. Not Stingrays, but Sterlings. I borrowed a Sterling SB14 from a friend, and shortly after bought a '93 EBMM Sterling. The SB14 is really really good. Like, for that price, insanely good. It's light, the neck is great, it sounds like a proper Music Man, the hardware is good and I really like the colour. The EBMM is however a different ball park: the neck is a bit chunkier than the SB14 (but only a little bit), has some crazy birdseye figuring on it, the hardware is a lot better than the SB14 and the sound has more depth and "feel" to it. Is it worth the price difference? Well, yes and no. The EBMM is actually a lot better but also about twice the price (on the second hand market) than an SB14. I do think the EBMM is a better investment, if I'd want to sell it again. The SB14 is bloomin' great, though.
