This. 'Early onset arthritis' used as a bit of a catch-all by well-meaning but hard time-pressed NHS staff. May take a bit of work and releasing of bad diets, drink and ahem other bad habits (smoking and other things...) but could work for you in the long-term. I'm no doctor but the fact that your other joints aren't affected is weird as you use your hips for example, all the time, not just with a bass in hand. Get ready for a purge... Hope it works for you.

So you why have you asked Basschat this question? Have you spammed Lawnmower Chat too? Get Google and leave us to dwindle in disgruntled silence. Mods: curse to 'Off Topic' obscurity please

Good call on the Chick gig.

Ah if this is indeed the same bass, I think we've established why the price is so reasonable...

I thought the price was reasonable for a pro instrument from MM with this fit and finish.

Coo! Lovely good shape too. Not the modern characterless ones...

Discussion ongoing here: R&M's coverage was a bit haphazard as neither is a guitarist/bassist. They made the point that Gibson targeted wealthy collectors - doctors and lawyers, rather than the player at the gig...

Not forgiven them for killing off Cakewalk (amongst many, many other brands). Still it lives again - for free thanks to BandLab (https://cakewalk.bandlab.com/) Agree with comments about Hubris and frankly delusional visions of lifestyle branding. But what not's been covered is their policy of shops buying stock effectively taking on the risk. Also the autotuner malarkey which reveals their catastrophic lack of empathy with their customers... All in all a perfect storm of failure... PS... they didn't server us dog-beaters well did they?... Thunderbird maybe, RD possibly, Rippers, Grabber nah...

Blimey! That's a spicy enchilada.

Blimey! High praise indeed - 'not without merit' is downright effusive! Interesting comment about tone and its relation to swing - is it BS' growl obscuring the emphasis of the beat?

Gorgeous and the proper shape too... not the new fugly generic bass shape

This popped up in my YT profile this morning... bit of an oddity with duelling basses... Not sure it's great music (actually I'm fairly sure) but interesting none the less for a great tone from the BC Rich and Abraham appears to be playing a new Yamaha 6...

Massive thumbs up from me... Billy showing in can hang on a jazz standard (Favourite Thins) whilst bringing retaining his massive tone... P.S. Prepare for Bilbo to chime in with he doesn't swing etc.

For he's a jolly Goodfellow for mine... Sorry about the dust...

I would if the Admins bothered to police the threads - 'General' has become a dumping ground.

I'm being flippant. Site's OK but has just disrupted all those people who recognized the old layout. (Think your favorite supermarket changes - where's the coffee now!?) Depends what you're trying to achieve with the new site I guess.

I said side scrolling... and I don't want any of those basses...

So how do I get that quick view of what's new in... side scrolling worked really well on old site?

It's the Goat of Mendes! What's this ungulate pedal? DG or TwoNotes challenger?

Not sure it counts as a full score editor like Sibelius but Cakewalk Sonar is back (from the clutches of Gibson who bought it and dropped it in their mad expansion.) Any who, it has notation and a tab editor... and is free!!!!! https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk

I wouldn't take him that literally. In the past he's said the same about high end basses in a live situation too. (He used to play Pedullas at one point.) What he's saying is that in a large concert situation, the details get lost...

Actually I meant 'Wicked Lester'. Sorry. Said Kiss wasn't my specialist subject...

Better than 'Uncle Fester'
