    Spend the extra 500 quid and get the Passion with the graphite neck. Oh, Lord that is gorgeous!

    apart from my new toy, a Kramer 450b. I think it is made from wood effect stone!

    Woof! That's all types of wonderful. Hopefully it will raise plenty of cash.

    Rhythm Stick I can get at 102bpm now but 104 is just that bit too fast. Funny how that small difference is enough to throw me. Same with Teen Town, but the difference is more like 20bpm. I still enjoy playing it as an exercise. Chemtrails by Beck is the one that just twists me too much. Too much pick work and remembering stuff!

    Superb!

    Apparently they are 'bespoke', which means either the seller doesn't know what bespoke means or somebody specifically asked for two very similar impractical instruments that look like the first efforts of the YTS kid at the BBC FX department in 1975....and then backed out of buying them.

    I found TB far too humourless and far too aggressive and only lasted about 2 weeks. I joined here only a few years ago but if I wasn't in Mexico I'd have bought many more lovely basses than I already have from here (and I'd have been looking at flights to Germany for that lovely pair of Deusenbergs that came up yesterday) So at least if @FugaziBomb you are in the States the wallet will be relatively safe!

    Lovely looking basses. i assume the price is 'per bass' and not for the pair 😜

    I'm very sorely tempted but can't find one in Mexico and with the current *ahem* 'situation' I'm not going to try importing aything as duty could be mad.

    I Wish is a great line and loads of fun to play. Easy to get it most of the way there but the feel is tricky, as is nailing the sound. Those mad upper octave slide wigout things are very cool when you get them right and make you look a total chump if you get it slightly off. SBL did a YouTube vid on it a couple of years ago that was good for breaking down the little bridge bit in the middle and for general advice on feel that you might want to check out.

    I appreciate you having to be very cautious with mould, and I know from expeience the spores are very hard to completely eliminate but I reckon if that got taken apart completely (as in the bridge removed, tuners taken out and stripped etc.), each bit cleaned with the appropriate product and then reassembled you wouldn't have a problem. A decent luthier will be able to do that and as long as the dampness hasn't warped anything you'll be able to keep a bass you love.
  16. Grooverjr
    Ah, yes. Either way, surely nobody is going anywhere near it, certainly at that price!

    How is that even possible? Short scale strings on long scale bass?

    I think Jet largely stood at the back not putting much effort in even when it was live. That is my memory of it but I was very young and only looking at JJ and Hugh at those gigs. I think his drumming is perfect for The Stranglers but it could never be accused of being overly involved. He perfected this by just programming a drum machine for the everything after, from memory, La Folie.

    You can't beat a bit of Bully on a Sunday!

    Smashing, super, great!
  21. Grooverjr
    That is quite the collection but as others have said it's shop prices not private seller prices. That unbranded fretless P is very nice looking, though.
  22. Grooverjr
    Very nice. But I think I may need to hand in my BC gun and badge because I just zoomed in to check out the Air Max collection! 😁
  23. Grooverjr
    What a fantastic resource all round. Great work!

    The squier jaguar has a slim and very smooth playing neck. Cracking little bass and not expensive. I imagine it's similar to a mustang (never played one) but you can get one for 200 quid ish. There was a red one for sale on here recently, may still be available.

    You just need to go all 60s, add a The and then pluralise: viz The Meat Columns. Then start a cocktail jazz trio and you'll clean up with posh hotel Brunch gigs.
