That’s another classic

That’s another one….. a guy said that to me recently while trying to sell me a Columbus Jazz posing as a future classic.

Me too…. That’s how I know them 😆

“ I don’t know anything about anything” (jazz hands up in front of him) “if there’s anything wrong with this thing, don’t blame me, because I don’t know anything”.

The things sellers say either in the ad or when you arrive to collect the bass: 1: “I’ve never touched the truss rod” - means; I’ve ragged the truss rod to the max and stripped the nut. 2: “it hasn’t been played in years” - means; It’s knackered. 3: “I’m not a bass player” - means; It’s Knackered. 4: “selling it for a friend “ - means; it’s knackered. 5: “I just want it to be used/to go to a good home - means; it’s knackered.

I typed in burning witches……

a lot of whiches there

I think Chapman take that crown…. with their signature Dave Hollingworth bass …. Literally , who? I thing these smaller companies will take these lesser known artists on, in the hope that most of them become bigtime, which of course most of which don’t.

Don’t get me started on ******g Rick Beato. He’s more prevalent than Covid. I’d rather get Covid again.

They used to stick it to the man, now they are the man. The last good thing they made was the Black album, but unfortunately that was the very record that turned them into Coldplay. They’re not relevant anymore, but then who IS? Who will be the next Metallica?

I mean they’re on EVERYTHING!!! All we need now is for ******g Rick BEATO to interview them and the internet will implode.

So the post size is 17.5mm on the headstock of this jazz bass. The existing tuners screw hole positions are 20mm and 23mm. Hipshot HB7s are close, but really, I can’t justify the cost in this bass at this time. I was hoping Wilkinsons would fit, but at 25mm and 33mm the screw holes are miles away. Any suggestions, or am I looking at plugging and drill new holes?

Ok cool, details? Pictures? You know the rules.

As a recent convert to Reverend, I’m loving their vibe and loving the instruments…… but, this particular model seems to be a bit of a mish mash….. not keen aesthetically at least.

Ahhh…..how many times have I posted that I’m GAS free on this forum down the years…… sigh. After buying yet another “best bass I’ve ever had” ……. I’d be fully content with my setup for about a week….. max, before it started all over again. Gear…….Better than sex, better than cake, better than everything. It never ends my friends, it never ends.

I might make the trip myself later in the year. Having just acquired a Justice recently, I’m absolutely stunned by it. Beautiful thing, superb quality and unbelievable tone. I have to say though, whoever had it before me made a balls of the setup, and I had to put a little shim in there too, but now, it’s an amazing bass, love it.

Oh don’t spoil it with Rickenbacker parts whatever you do.

Works for me! 😆

Best bass bridge ever made according to Jeff Berlin, so it must be true
