Try 'NPR Tiny Desk'

I really like these too

Here's mine - A 2016 MIJ FSR Mustang.

I've booked a Saturday ticket, Leland Sklar and more importantly blagged a cheap B&B (my oldest mate's spare room who lives nearby!), so if anyone wants to meet up etc, count me in (instagram @mattpotterbass, just drop me a message) !

Love it. I’ve been close to pulling the trigger on the LPB one a few times recently! Enjoy!!

Tried a few of these in the shop and they are awesome basses. Must admit I spotted the ad and was a little tempted

Actually, I now need two! 😂

I've been waiting a while for a Jaguar or Mustang style configurator... this could be dangerous!

Thanks (i think?! based on your usual post style! 😂)

Here's mine!

Thanks Teebs!

...and then the end result. I'm pretty happy with it. Definitely could have more finesse (but i'm no DIYer!) but looks far better in the room disguised as a bass cab, hides away all the bass stuff i have lying around and didn't cost too much! Hopefully a useful little idea to spark some inspiration for anyone looking for a neat storage idea that looks the part too!

I decided to take challenge myself and make this as cheaply as possible, so used some old pallet wood from a new bath we had delivered, half a tin of hammerite black satin i'd had lying around to use up and some chipboard from another project. I paid £6 for some grille cloth off ebay, £8 for a replacement Ampeg logo from Amazon, £1.20 on a set of hinges and £10 on facebook marketplace for some locking castors (optional in my opinion but i was looking to complete 'the look'). In total, spend was £25.20 to create the front panel pictured, matching the size of the front of the Kallax storage unit.

So, after spending hours carefully crafting my music room, the IKEA kallax storage unit (to some may look tidy!) was in my eyes, a problem that required a solution. With this in mind, I decided to find something that would make a good storage unit but also be more visually fitting in the space.

As I asked the question, i’d obviously be interested!

Probably the cheapest of the lot but I like that Limelight LPB the best! This only begs the question, why is there no ACTUAL north east bass bash where is fellow northerners could’ve contributed! 🙂

Or these guys too https://restauracja-gitar.pl/basy/ - nitro refinished and/or reliced MIJ/CIJ Fender Reissues for the price of a Mex. In most cases a little cheaper than Limelight but possibly a little less flexible. However, all genuine Fenders just refinished, so keeps the “why does it have a Fender decal?” crew quiet.

Underwhelming, even by Fender’s standards...

I have numerous friends from my days in York who work there. They all know each other from outside of work. The majority of the positions are filled by people's mates. The low wages, lack of career progression and low job satisfaction is why the service is mostly dreadful, as they are not interested in experience they just want to work with mates they can have a laugh with throughout the day.

Tiny desk is incredible generally. Jordan Smith, Tank and the bangas, Anderson Paak, Tower of Power, Nao, Mac Miller with Thundercat and recently Jacob Collier... endless rabbit hole of quality musicianship (and also a masterclass in recording life music. The quality of the recordings always surprises me!)

Next you’ll be telling me Fodera have moved to Runcorn and we can all buy them cheaper than a Maruszczyk.

Apparently so!
