Zikinf, Bassic.de ....

erm what are you trying to work out? We've been using 4 a side headstocks since the early 50's - it's hardly new unproven tech

???

where we're going we don't need Galileo - we're onto string theory

I think you had it right when you said that 3+2 was best cos it's balanced. We all agree with you - It's why 4 on a line headstocks don't work and never have. To be honest with you I think the only mistake in your theory is 5 string basses - surely we should scrap them and play 3+3 6 strings? Or Ned Steinburger influenced headless.

clicking through musician's social media... this looks cool https://musicstreet.co.uk/products/ernie-ball-music-man-cliff-williams-signature-bass-guitar-sunburst if not the price!!

sooo... I really dislike that fin ish on the stingray special or 5 ... but it looks nice on the bongo - it seems to burst to brown on the edge - whereas the rays burst to black on further in. But hey ho - we don't all need to like thee same thing do we?

this?

there's a thing with Ikea furniture - as we construct it ourselves we have a stronger emotional attachment to it

I thought that a lot of us thought I had nailed it with my GAS classification list. One of my greatest basschat posts that!

Instant banning that would probably be!

I think that might be the bit that folk like the guy @Killed_by_Death was talking about doesn’t get - there comes a point where it goes from being musicians who have lots of nice instruments, to being collectors of nice instruments who dabble in music.

Good yardstick

whoosh straight over my head

not you. It was a general comment rather than replying to your post

Who cares? Some investment banker could afford a new custom instrument every month and not have the time to play them, some keone else could be playing every night with their only Harley Benton. Some people have 4 cars, some drive a 15 year old saxo. by all means examine your own GAS sickness but externalising it starts to go places where we all end up looking like judgemental Richards

I'm looking forward to first practice/gig. Either I've forgotten everything, or a year of noodling at home on work lunchtime and I've improved

its been a very long 12 months hasn't it?

saves me googling that one!

You know I don’t think that’s something you’ve meantioned before
