Oh my god, if I tried to play like that I'd destroy my wrist in seconds. Looks hideously uncomfortable.

Night Nurse - Gregory Isaacs

Must admit my first thought on opening the thread was "oh FFS, seriously?". Then I watched the OP vid (well, the 45 seconds I could stand), and said it out loud. That Casady bass is its single redeeming feature.

So does Horace Panter 😎 Although to be honest, Horace could play a pink Daisy Rock flower and would still look cool. If I ever bought a Thunderbird, it would be solely because of this man demigod.

That look says it all

The Last Farewell - Roger Whittaker Sorry.

No. No. Hell no.

@alyctes -- has this gone?

Walk the Dinosaur - Was (Not Was)

Whenever, Wherever - Shakira

3 a.m. Eternal - KLF

The Gambler - Kenny Rogers

Zombie thread alert! found this earlier, too lovely not to share. Beautifully melodic bass solo too. I love the look that bass & drums share at 0:04. Says it all.

Super Duper Love - Joss Stone

Ice Cream - Blackpink / Selena Gomez

Pins are absolutely not an issue, I'll take a pinless badge over no badge any day. Dad you're a superstar, thank you.

Are you confident that the neck will withstand the substantial increase in string pull? I saw a comment on (I think) Farcebook the other day from someone who'd converted their 4 to an 8 and ended up with a neck that Robin Hood could have fired arrows from. Something to look out for. Personally if I was to make an 8 (and I've considered it a few times) I'd consider using a narrow-spaced five string as a basis. OLP 5-string 'Ray perhaps?

I love the range of adjectives we use to describe the sound of our basses. So far on this thread, we've had: aggressive, airy, alive, articulate, balls, bark, bright, brittle, clean, crystalline, dynamic, dark, edge, full ranged, grit, growl, generic, honk, indifferent, lively, nasal, nasty, open, punchy, resonant, singing, smooth, snappy, thick, thin, tight, twangy, unrefined, upper-middy, warm, and woody. And yes, I even sorted them into alphabetical order. Actually yes, it IS a slow work day at the moment, how did you know?

At one time, I had an ex-jukebox 7" single of Do Nothing by The Specials ('featuring Jerry Dammers and the Ice Rink String Sounds'), the label of which had Rs in place of all the Ns. It was "Do Rothirg by The Specials (featurirg Jerry Dammers ard the Ice Rirk Strirg Sourds)". Don't know what happened to it. Probably not worth a lot but it was quite funny.

Ebeneezer Goode - The Shamen

Prelude No1 in C major - J.S.Bach

You should've been doing it in 1986. I paid £300 for my Pro 2E.
