Oh lord. Now all I need is the power to summon up £3k. Or actually £9k so I can get the pink, green and blue.....

I genuinely don't know, although I've not come across it before on a fretted bass so it does seem plausible. The pickup config is also non standard, so that might also suggest a custom order. Might try to email Maruszczyk and get the original specs

I bought a rather lovely Maruszczyk Jake 5 string from @Gareth Hughes of this parish a couple of weeks back. It's a longer scale than my Sandberg, has a bigger body, much wider string spacing and is heavier. I've even got different gauge strings on it. None of this has bothered me at all. However, the side dot fret markers are on the fret line, rather than in the middle. It completely threw me off. Had to buy stick on dots after repeatedly cocking up at rehearsal. Sounds very nice though. https://drive.google.com/file/d/11QZ3vcLVRAFGT_jyQAu1V1htqt-gYIPX/view?usp=drivesdk

Always enjoy reading your posts Muzz. I'm from the same neck of the woods and can usually recognise the venues from your descriptions. No idea where you're gigging in Timperley though. Always found it to be a dead spot, a shame because it's about 5 mins from home.

Completed a super easy deal on an amp with Jake. Brilliant comms and it arrived packed like a tank. Deal with confidence.

Just completed a deal for Gareth's Maruszcyzk bass. All round top deal, from comms to speedy postage and great packaging. Another top basschatter, thanks!

More praise for Alain here. Super easy deal on a strap, but you already knew it would be from the previous 9 pages! Cheers!

Fair enough. I was trying to update my signature. Doing it on mobile didn't work, even though the new sig showed in my profile editing page, it didn't show on any of my posts (even those made after the change). Updating it on desktop worked, no problem. No idea why

Same here. Used the free version for a few years before finding out about the free education upgrade.

Sharing a little love for Canva.com, a free graphics creation site. It has loads of templates and editable designs for everything from A3 posters to Instagram posts and facebook banners. If you work in a school (like I do) you can get a free upgrade to the pro account, which adds features like social media post scheduler, animations, premium content etc etc. As an example, I have zero artistic ability and I used it to make my new band's logo and this instagram animated/audio promo in about 15 minutes. #Edit Apologies, I can't make the promo any smaller!

The clickbait works then? Ah well, at least you've learned that I'm a doofus.

Never mind, I'm a doofus.

They don't do the 5 string in this finish, otherwise I would be powerless......

So it's not just me then? This is an inevitability whenever I'm being recorded. My new band is trying to get some 'live at rehearsal' stuff down to send to venues and I just get a mental block! The band sounds great though, and I bet it's only you who noticed the little blip.

This one's from last Saturday. A bit of a reunion for the old band up in the Lake District. The drummer is a permanent Coniston resident. We played an hour or so as part of a multi band charity do in a friend's garden. Just bloody good fun. Like putting on an old pair of slippers, we just dropped back into the groove. I'm sure that it was looser than when we were gigging regularly. No idea what the live FOH sound was like either. Sandberg Cali TM5 into the house rig. Couldn't hear much onstage, least of all my backing vox but didn't care. Just great to be back making noise with good mates. VID-20240901-WA0019.mp4 VID-20240901-WA0020.mp4 VID-20240901-WA0029.mp4
