Excuse my ignorance but why are you testing microphones, especially given they all appear to be giving you similar results? Not criticising, just genuinely interested, all seems a bit eccentric in which case I'm with you 👍 BTW I went quite mad trying out various permutations of my Townsend L22 Sphere, wish I'd stuck with my SM7-Bs to be honest

IME - and I've done both - it's often more economic to simply buy an aftermarket body in the preferred finish than it is to refin the existing body; for example a while back I bought a stunning new Warmoth 3tsb body for not a lot more than a refin had recently cost me, which was close to £400. OK it's most useful with Fenders/Fenderalikes and MMs of course but there's a 90% chance after all 👍

Likewise, a timeless classic made all the more amusing when someone refuses to find it funny 😂

Not a very god pic but in short a nice big lump of 80's brass Fender fit 👍

I've a very well engineered and very solid brass bridge from the 80's that would totally look the part on that bass, I'll see if I can dig it out and post photos later today

Agreed, also listen to Trash on Manifesto, bass as rhythmic engine

Nicely put 👍

About 80% of what I play 👍

I always think rhythm first, note second 👍

....or a weapon 👍
