Nice to hear the details

...on a fretless? OK stupid title but it kind of sounds like that. Onlyon the G string. The string doesn't sustain and kind of honks. I'm guessing it isn't hitting a fret so other than raising the bridge saddle, what could it be? Nut too low?

Ah, they stayed attached to the head with mine. I'm thinking of selling but I would like to keep the cab. Have enough amps now so might shift the head. Need some rubber feet first.

Ah, I didn't notice. I measured in the middle at the deepest point. The bass is reassembled now.

Fair enough, it was a long time ago.

That actually does look good.

Here you go 16mm x 100mm x 61.5mm. The picture of the 16mm is weird but I've double checked it. The Fender neck is a tiny weeny bit sloppy in there. Can't be much though because my vintage neck fitted in the Fender slot.

I have one I'm happy to take measurements from for you. However, play it first before you take it apart, there is a strong chance you'll like it as it is. They're really nice instruments. If not and the fit is good I'd be interested in the P neck you take off the Vintage.

Nice one!

Wow! I never Knew. They seemed like such gentlemen. Apart from when singing 'if we don't 🦆you then someone else will' which always struck me as a little gratuitous.

Fred resurrection. @Jimryan did you remove the wooden strips from the bottom before selling the head? If so how so?

Man - that's a sweet rig!

Put it this way, I switched to my Squier Standard Precision after a lengthy noodling, and it sounded flubbry and jibbly in comparison. And that's a bass I usually think of as grunchy and whumpy. But the Ibby, in comparison was just solid Grunch and Squobb.

I liked it a lot. I also like the original.

Dayum! Never heard the original, that is so groovy man. Subjectivity blubjectivity - say what you love baby.

Just did a recording using my Talman and it has a great sound. Really big, punchy and clear. You ignited my GAS with this thread and I'm really glad you did.

I only got four but I comfort myself with the fact that of those I didn't get there were four I didn't know. If you know what I mean. 🤔

Thanks for playing folks! Some gorgeous instruments on these lists

I should have the Jules Rimet trophy.

I was a huge fan. Only a kid but music meant just as much if not more to me back then. I was aware of him as a showman more than as a bass player, it wasn't until JJB and Bruce Foxton that the bass leapt out at me, but he was a part of my journey. Sad news.

I have the RM500 combo with the 12" speaker. It's really nice, not heavy and sits under the desk Bought for all the same reasons you mentioned having been an ABM owner

Start of the lockdown I was playing more than ever - recording projects with two bands, an online basscourse, teaching myself to read and write music, learning an entire set for a new band. Then this bloody chronic fatigue kicked in and like you it's all I can do to pick the thing up. But GAS is an addiction, it never seems to leave me.
