After years of never giving up on the Roses getting back together, I'm so grateful he had this moment. The first time they took to the stage again, unified. A free gig they threw at Warrington Parr Hall. Gives me goosebumps every time.

I'm gutted. He's the reason I first bought a bass.

I'm loving my uke basses too. Just laying down a nice little hack that I thought of and actually worked. To solve the common complaint of the fat poly strings being far too grippy, I slid some paper under the strings and gave the strings a light rub down with 800 grit wet and dry paper to take off the glossiness of said strings. Worked a treat! I can now slide about as much as I need to. Took less than 5 mins. I have a Harley Benton mahogany, and a Batking fretless btw. I keep them in the car to learn new tunes on while I'm waiting around for my boys to finish scouts or whatever dad's taxi run I might be on!

Ozric Tentacles - Live Underslunky. Zia Geelani's bass playing on this album is kind of my ground zero. Peak Ozrics line up (imho). A corkin' live album.

Hey thanks for that @BassApprentice, I just read the article on it. Sounds amazing on the clip 👍 https://yamahaguitardevelopment.com/2024/12/07/yamaha-guitar-development-custom-shop-miki-santamaria/

Oof, I love that! Lane Poor pickup too. Prototype then? More info needed!

Great list! Pressure Drop - Toots and The Maytals

Did you order one of these necks from this particular seller?

The volume knob?

There's a guy on talkbass who's been making conversion necks for a while, but they're £600+. If these do the same job for the price listed here, and if the quality is good, then it would really open up the medium scale market for everyone 🤞 I had to find out 😄

These are compensated necks so you don't have to move the bridge. They bring the nut the 2" down needed for medium scale 😉 (Although the 14mm tuners required aren't standard for Fender/Squier basses of course!)

I've just taken a punt on a medium scale conversion neck I saw on ebay to try on my P bass. Will let you all know how I get on... (Apologies if these particular ones have already been discussed - it's a big thread!)

Great shape and more than 19 frets. Cool.
