I hate you both!! I've got Jaydee GAS again....even though I rarely took any of three I had out (far too precious).

I think that you're making a good choice trying that Trace Elliot.

I'm a BIG Trace Fan, currently own at least 6 I believe, and for the money they can't be beat. I maintain that amps didn't get better, they just got lighter. I'd be surprised if the Trace Elliot doesn't give you the sound you're after.

Rubber washers?

The place is filled with villains and thieves... I remember when the streets of London were lined with gold - all of it has been stolen now...😉😉

Looks good...but there's something missing... Where the new bass project?? 😉😉

Bass is in Italy but only for sale to UK residents.....am I right to be cynically suspicious? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403942791730?hash=item5e0cddda32:g:~vUAAOSwSdRjTADG&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoEozJ6fb8Vvxh9PjUdVa3uTF%2FAWWO%2FiAOgD9SH6Eh%2BRFMUwSYom0gTTVj0oSivCChs3W%2B%2FDSToyCKhujjhSDeKzaCfcJGoi3HyD7LbZe7K5QeE%2F7Ow8lblqXfP%2BAoA%2FCDFt6vMpdBJICnWHtlrfo%2FlcfPp0LJluKV9lHGkGjFA%2Fqs40G10%2BcWGumP4E6CxPU7AhdZX6O5hYT1PUxIFYDAQw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9aVkYH-YA

Lots of progress already... Following with interest

Another vote for buying used - you can pick up some serious bargains if you scout the market place here, Gumtree, Preloved and eBay. IIRC there's a used G&L lefties on Gumtree for a good price. Probably a better first bass than most of us started on.

I can confirm that this works perfectly having it on all three of my AJR builds. Much better system than screws, which I regularly lose.

Nice...

Where do people stand on this Jerzy Drozd? I really like the colours. I don't think that the colours would work with black pickups https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Jerzy_Drozd_Obesession_Soul_5.html

Exactly what I was going to suggest.

If you want a p bass then get a jp...what you want and a bit more.

I have two of these: https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/product.php?product_id=G705100&source=froogle&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnP-ZBhDiARIsAH3FSRf1kuQi_EKtRehx4xVqCzHbA-pVUukMGFC3c2KKZd6S1Lu1PU6YuToaAroAEALw_wcB So happy with them that I just store basses in them. My go to case is a Body Glove which fits most of my basses. I couldn't find a photo online. I did find this which looks like good vfm at £31 https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_elite_gigbag_ebass.htm

Hope this helps

My Psilos bass has a fretboard level with the body. As a result it's more difficult to get that traditional slap tone as the strings don't hit the fretboard in the same way as a stepped neck. We're not too far apart if you want a closer look. I'll see what the photos show.

" owned by a professional who looked after it..." Too ashamed to take it out more like. I'm having problems finding any redeeming features TBH. Make your own mind up...

I went through a stage of buying these, TBH I think that the colour has little bearing on the tonal quality of the strings.

Lovely looking Bass...I'd be tempted to buy it if I saw it. Now I know....
