😬 Oh yeah!

Humble Pie! Cool.

Good enough though!

Which bass player shares your birthday? Paul McCartney for me. 👍🏼

Brilliant! Can't wait to see it all.

10 points to Frank, 5 to Nail. Well done chaps.

On the topic of women bassists I loved,

That would be in the midi pedal I think. Mine is a different make but I can set it up to scroll and select or automatically select.

The guy who made me get up onto my hindlegs and notice that bass was a thing was JJB. Then Bruce Foxton at around the same time. I joined a band as a rhythm guitarist and the bassist was (and still is) an extraordinary musician - I was mesmerised. But the pro who I really fell for and still love the best is Bruce Thomas from his time in the Attractions. I now have a longer list (thanks to Basschat) with Entwistle, Watt-Roy, Dart, Jamerson, Edwards, Dunn, McCartney, Jones, Kaye, Osborne. Only criteria for me is liking the band or music they play in. I don't see music as a clinical, technical exercise, so if the music leaves me cold no matter how good the player (Jaco, Mark King for example) I won't learn much from them.

Sandberg Electra. Amazing instruments.

This has been an enthralling thread. Right up to the part where people talked about things, and stuff. Then I got a bit lost.

I intend to visit my SY-1 later (depending upon how deeply my current collapsed state evolves) and get that organ infill. Once I do I'll share it.

I didn't realise that was a thing! Brilliant!

There's a really awkward door frame / step down / right angled turn / door frame / step down to get out of the place I'm living. It makes it really difficult to wheel it out.

I'd love to help you but I'm too new too! I have only done one rehearsal with it and found an awesome organ sound to run underneath the bass when a solo is happening - it's astonishingly good and I wish I knew how I got it.

I have so nearly sold mine so many times, but I would just spunk the cash on rubbish, and I will never have the wherewithal to buy another. So I shall resume my search for a method to wheel it to and from the car without lifting, and give it another go.

Hercules looks in awe upon @scrumpymike and his scrumpettes

YES!

No longer own the Trace R of D, and my faker is in bits. My contribution will be updated - it all depends on which car I'm in, mine is tiny. Going to be selling a black club bass, a bitsa precision, a vintage Washburn and an OLP 5 string and maybe some pedals so bring your wallets.

RM500 into two twelve inch speakers. Compact, lightweight, punchy as hell. Yeah the Sandberg is a rare treat for me. Seldom buy a bass over £400 but when a seller as good as @Frank Blank offers a bass as good as this I'm going to break the bank for it.

Does it get much better than this? Maybe, but not much.

Ha ha ha ha. You better not hang around here once you've bought it.
