The podcast is out!

Ah yes that is true, but if I'd do it' I'd have a luthier do it for me

I do. It was done by a Dutch luthier and it's still in excellent condition

Well, it was 20 years ago so I don't really remember well but what I do remember is that it got a lot more "mwaahhh" and a little bit less low end.

I love this beautiful Yamaha TRB I own: And I play it a lot, with rounds (not planning on putting flats on it, no). I really want to preserve the fingerboard, just like I did with my fretless Jazz, and have it epoxied. I've never seen that done on a fretless TRB and have no idea what the difference is, soundwise. Has anyone epoxied their TRB?

Yeah I sold you that bass I do miss the feel. It was so tight, so snappy. I've never heard that "zing" after.

That looks great! The Affinity series have improved massively in quality over the last few years so I'm sure you'll have an excellent time playing that.

Aaaaaanyway. I really like the white one.

Of course a shop, seller or manufacturer should provide the correct specs when selling an instrument but if I'd find out one of my basses is a different wood than I thought it was, and it's not a crazy expensive bass with very cheap wood, why does it matter?

Why? I mean: if it sounds good, why care? The finish isn't translucent so you wouldn't see the difference anyway.

Uh oh.

Although I know I wouldn't use it because of the 70's pickup spacing, I do miss the Skarbee bass I had years ago. Almost bought the ocean turquoise Classic that is for sale on this very forum. But I needed a fiver. But that Skarbee bass... What a bass. What a neck. I've never experienced such a low action on a bass.

I had guessed that but wasn't sure 😅

Of course! Well, I can tell you Gail doesn't read music. So it's probably just lyrics.

The twin sister of my USA Joe Osborn is for sale in Germany for a very decent price. Looks in better nick than mine, and I paid more. https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/lakland-usa-joe-osborn-signature-44-60-bass.55500/

This has happened and the podcast will be released on November 1st. I can tell you she did say about the caterpillar problem you should blast technical death metal at them. Caterpillars hate blast beats.

Doesn't necessarily mean they've been released. I've reviewed basses pre-release too.

How has it been over a year someone has posted here? Since I bought the JO4, I've added a JO5 and a Skyline 55-02. Absolutely amazed by the quality of these basses.

Blimey, that's a lot of knobs.

I think he has a Jazz from the not very successful Mortar Series.

I Would Be Your Slave is not a song she was involved in. She did play with Bowie on the supporting tour (as clearly seen in the video above). It is one of my favourite Bowie albums, though.

Next Thursday, I'll be interviewing the amazing Gail Ann Dorsey for my bass player's podcast. Of course I have some stuff I want to ask her about, but maybe you guys also have some questions for this giant And while you're at it, feel free to check out other episodes of the podcast. Many are in Dutch, but the English episodes are: Henrik Linder, Brady Watt, Renaud Garcia Fons, Adam Ben Ezra, Martin Méndez, Joe Dart, James Genus, Kinga Glyk, Tal Wilkenfeld, Pino Palladino, Damian Erskine, Dale Davis, Tim Lefebvre, Stu Brooks, Michael League, John Stirratt, Jeff Berlin and Jeroen Paul Thesseling.
