What are you hoping to gain from changing the bridge?

FSO?

Oops. Errant mouse click just occurred on a strange website called "Ishibashi"...

Bass body made of fancy "decorative" woods, burls, spalts, always natural finish, or worse, colorised in a way that highlights the burly/diseased wood it's made of.

Care in the community, innit?

That's way fancier than my coffee table...

I think I've wandered into the earplugs/tinnitus thread by mistake...

Didn't catch that, can you repeat that please?

Aw boo, well I'll do a 2 plus A.N. Other then. 'Arry, forgive me!

He's been mentioned by name twice already. Looks like I'm on someone's ignore list then!

I cannot participate, as there is no Steve Harris at time of writing this.

My doppelganger! I've been looking for a reserve Jazz bass hater to tag in whenever I need a nap, you in?

My Wunkay is really hurt. So are bullet truss rod Fenders. And every Gibson ever made, but that hardly helps my argument

They're bloody awful. Balance restored in the universe now?

I just linked to one which was within the stated budget. OK, only mathematically speaking - but £499 IS less than £500 - the stated "probable" budget of the OP... OP - if by <£500 you mean £300, maybe edit your post?

Your bass playing isn't being improved by debating the correct use of the word "tuner"...

How odd, I like chunky necks AND have small hands. Life would be boring if we were all the same, eh?

Out of stock, naturally, probably need to be special ordered, because they're so niche. These may seem expensive to you, I don't know what your definition of £'ssss is. Welcome to the world of odd sized gig bags. Having owned a few Thunderbirds and Jack Casadies, I can sympathise. Good luck.

Tecamp Puma/Eich? I have a Tecamp Puma 900 and it's a wee head that sounds amazing (to me anyway) with simple 4 band EQ, more power than I'll ever need, and the Taste knob is genius - was able to dial in the sound I wanted very quickly using it. And - thank the heavens, a mute button. Bassbros are selling a Tecamp Puma 900 for £499 - in budget, just.

No Jazz basses, end of discussion. Not a huge fan of maple boards, especially if they're so pale that they look like they were photoshopped onto the bass in real life. Anything else, let's talk.

Wasn't it a Thunderbird last week?

Do as I say, not as I do Maybe if you have it in one of those travel mugs with the flip top thing for drinking out of. I remember one job I worked at, they had a rule of no hot drinks at desk, unless in one of these types of mugs. H&S I guess, but it was a reasonable request so I ran with it.

I don't think it would come across rude - your control room, your rules. Don't like it, go record somewhere else.

I had a four string of these stupidly named basses. Bullion gold 2014 model. Mine was decently made from the structural side. I personally didn't care for the unfilled (what looks like) ash grain through the finish, you might like that. Mine was pretty light, don't remember it being heavy, put it that way. Sounded decent, the coil split on each pickup gives you some extra options. I don't remember being blown away by the sound, just because there are exposed pole pieces on these didn't make them sound that much different from your typical Gibson TB+ pickup IMO, not necessarily a bad thing of course, but I had become somewhat jaded about those pickups having owned several basses wearing them by that point.
