    Had my 'growth talk' at work yesterday. A sort of career progression thing that must be really handy for the younger engineers especially.

    Boss's first question (admittedly with his tongue firmly in his cheek): "So Rich, where do you see yourself in 5 years..?"

    Me: "Retired."

    Boss: "Want to expand your skillset? Anything you'd like to do in the meantime?"

    Me: "Exactly what I'm doing now will suit me fine, ta."

    End of talk. :)

      Well that was pretty in depth.

    In the market for a new bass.

    Some tough choices!

      Ah, interesting.  You should have some choice as lots out there.  I've always enjoyed Sandberg TTs and currently rocking a very nice Fender Roadworn 60th Anniversary Jazz bass (MIM).

       

      I know these are a bit marmite (the roadworn bit) but I like them.  Having said that I have recently acquired an Ibanez Grooveline G104 (essentially a Jazz bass with active and passive options) which I can't seem to put down so at some point the Fender may well go.

      Ok, I'll do my best but please note in advance that my playing is not of the same quality as yours!

      Hi Dan

       

      The nearest I have is my Limelight version of 'that' Lee Sklar bass.  I can't recall if I have any recordings of it but I can certainly do some for you if that is what you are asking?

       

      The band reckon it's the best sounding bass that I have.

       

      Cheers

      Alain

      Nice, enjoyed that.  Didn't know you were into Alpher basses.  Do you think this one would be good for metal?

      Will this become a regular feature as I find it hard to get cloud formation updates these days?

    I've never got along with Musicman basses... So why do I suddenly have GAS for a 5 string 'ray? Odd... 

    1. ead

      ead

      I'm the same, I love the idea of a 'Ray but the SB14 and Ray34 tasters I tried never really floated my boat sadly.

    Just completed an overseas sale. Lots of extra issues now post-brexit of course but what I wanted to mention was the inclusion of an Apple AirTag.

     

    For £29 we were able to keep an eye on the progress of the bass as it left the Country, got held at customs (very helpful because the courrier tracking suggested it was being delivered at the time), and then tracking in the destination country all the way to it's new home.

     

    Clearly a few quid extra cost but for a higher value transaction a lot of added piece of mind!!!

      Good to know, not that I've any plans to do this in the immediate future.

    Mid life crisis in reverse. Have serious GAS for 2-ohm capable amp and more One10s, just because... But my middle-aged brain is telling me to be sensible, my current rig is more than enough and sounds great, so my credit cards is breathing a little easier...

    What's wrong with me?

      Just acquired a Two10S and now slightly regretting selling my One10 as it would have been a fun rig I feel.

      What you really need is that shell pink P bass that was fleetingly on here and that some inconsiderate person bought before I could get my hands on it :lol:.  My daughter is 30 now but she would absolutely be on board with the plan.

    How long do Fender typically keep models in production?
    I'm really interested in getting hold of a ultra jazz bass V in mocha burst in the next year or so but not sure if they'll still be manufacturing them.

      To be fair to MIMs. I do believe they consistency and quality has improved in the last few years, but maybe yours slipped through the net.  I'm more of an MIJ/CIJ guy when it comes to Fenders though.
