    They are relatively rare. And crucially, you can't just "buy one right now". The order book is closed, there's a four year wait for those with orders, and the new price started at around £6000 the last time I looked. Scarcity is driving up used values.

    Sandberg California Central? Bridge spacing is adjustable from 18 to 19.5mm.

    1966 spec Jazz Bass: https://www.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/jazz-bass/american-vintage-ii-1966-jazz-bass-left-hand/0190180805.html

    Offered for sale are my TKS S112 cabs, one with a tweeter, one without. They are in excellent condition and supplied with TKS padded covers. I’ve had these for about 5 years and used to gig with them regularly, but I’m playing ampless these days, so they are surplus to requirements, sadly. They’re 8 ohm cabs handling 250w each and pair nicely with a 500w head (I used a Tone Hammer 500) to deliver a lovely tone, leaning slightly to old-school warmth but with plenty of clarity. The tweeter lets you dial in extra crispness if you need it. They look fabulous too, with the optional V-frame making them stand out. They’re also compact and lightweight at approx. 10kg each. TKS cabs have been unavailable for a few years, the company seemingly moribund, so these are hard to find. You can however still check the specs at https://tks.se I would much prefer to sell as a pair. UK postage is possible as I have boxes (cost to be determined), or they can be collected from St Albans, Hertfordshire.

    Yes indeed, I have a One 10 and I would happily take it on the bus or tube (it's 7kg). You can slip a micro head in your gig bag and have a great setup that will easily cover practise sessions and even small gigs.

    I bought spares for my Stingray bridge from https://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/ a few years ago. They were the UK distributor for EBMM at the time. Worth an email?

    Conversely "Rain", often cited as an example of McCartney's most nimble playing, was slowed down dramatically for release

    It's interesting that the Stingray 5, one of the most definitive and popular fives and in production since the late 80s, has exactly this issue.

    Maybe worth asking @blablas as he’s done a lot of Shorty customisations, for example

    Sandbergs are adjustable, from 18 to 19.5mm. Lovely basses and generally lightweight too.

    The two minor hardware improvements are USB-C charging, and physical volume control buttons. Both nice to have but not essential.

    I’ve used quite a few headphone systems over the years and my current favourite is the Nux Mighty Plug. Very convenient, good sounds, battery lasts for ages, and you can play along with any audio you fancy played from your phone over Bluetooth.

    Very nice. I saw that on Instagram and wondered if it was going to someone here.

    These are excellent Precisions. I’ve strung my 2013 through body with both Dunlop and TI Jazz flats with no issues, but I think you need to be careful with LaBellas. They make a special set for through body so make sure you get those.

    I’ve had my TH500 for around 8 years. It’s used several times a week with no problems so far.

    Treat yourself to a lefty Serek? https://www.serekbasses.com/product/serek-left-handed-midwestern-30-5-scale-bass-guild-bs-1-tv-yellow/

    I use the Nux Mighty Plug now in preference to my PJB Big Head. It doesn't sound quite as good but it's so handy to use.

    Moving to a 5 string after decades of playing 4 strings was my big switch too. I find I tend to play the music I knew on a 4 in the same way, i.e I don't use the B. But I'm making full use of it for any new songs I learn, which usually means playing above the 5th fret with minimal position shifts. I'm an enthusiastic convert, the only downside being my small collection of nice 4 strings aren't getting played much.

    I like my Mono Bass Sleeve, which offers very good protection and is comfortable to carry. It also has a cavernous pocket for all your bits and pieces. No good if you have an angled headstock though.

    My Sandberg, Plek’d at the factory, has an amazingly consistent feel across the entire fretboard and was easy to set up to my liking. I’d seriously consider it for other instruments.

    I would be writing to Schaller to see what they had to say. I can’t believe their lightweight tuners are all this feeble - maybe they had a duff batch?

    I don't think this is an isolated bass track, it's been extracted with software.

    I’ve done the procedure in that video. It’s a little concerning the first time you sand the neck but it does work well, and once you’ve reapplied the oil and wax you’re rewarded with a great feeling neck that also looks fantastic.

    I've got a leather strap with two holes at one end, so I could quickly change between them if I wanted to. A bit like this:
