I have a couple of them, both fivers, so I can give you a bit of a review. The bad: For me, the electronics were the first thing to throw out. Replaced with MEC 3-band but I'm sure you'll have your own preference. Hated the strings it came with, again that's personal, others might well love them. And on the natural finish, the neck joint is well made but the bit on the front looks a bit home-made when you look closely. I've put a sticker over it or I'd show you what I mean. The good: Almost the perfect fast 5-string neck for me. Shallow, not too broad and nice satin feel, and a wenge board too. The big cutout makes reaching the dusty end so much easier and more fun, though I guess for people without giant gibbon arms it might make the low notes more of a stretch. I don't find it so, anyway. The weird cutout round the strap button means it's a bit less liable to falling over. It's my live bass, sounds good and plays like a dream, but not so expensive I need to sell my house if it gets nicked. Tl;dr: With a bit of work they're great bass guitars, if a bit rudimentary compared to the £7k German ones. Personally, I wouldn't pay over £500 new. Hope it helps.

Now reduced to a slightly lower £429. Save £110!!!

Yeah, but it goes up to 17. Alas, I like to fold my thumb round to get that low E flat, so I'm out until my thumbs grow some more.

It’s a packaging error. That’s actually Gene’s Herb Chopper bass.

What the world really needs is Lego Lemmy

I got dragged to see REM in the late 1980s and I swear they played for three hours. Stuck it for a while but had to go for a break and didn't go back in.

A Nobel prize, a piece of string You know what's awesome? Everything. Dogs with fleas, allergies, A book of Greek antiquities, Brand new pants, a very old vest Awesome items are the best.

I think this guy teaches pretty well, but YMMV etc https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTR7Cy9Sv285kV3pohsMtUg_O_50oDyoR

Phew. The balance of the universe is restored!

Wot no black?

Preferred the original tbh

Is this the beginning of a Kanye death hoax?

Whatever the interval Em is the 3 chord if you're in C Maj. Going up, the interval between the two is a major third, going down it's a minor 6th, but it's still the iii in terms of the key of C. Mind you, I talk sh1te sometimes.

I'm a big fan of Cioks DC5. Never have to think about it and it fits nicely beneath even the flat boards such as nano and metro.

Nice one. Just needs more make-up

My tuppence ha'penny: Width and profile are a bit less important than neck thickness and fingerboard radius.

This song has one of my favourite ever lyrics too. Seems to be about someone creating their own Lassie dog porno doll out of bits of dead bug, and it's all ridiculously shoehorned into the rhythm(s) like watermelons stuffed into a sock. It's the opposite of normal songwriting, and also completely brilliant.

Thanks Platypus for a very hassle-free and exemplary deal, and hope the Bighead Pro does everything you need it to.

This is the one for me ...
