  1. Eh, buy what fits in the big hole (and your budget) and fill/redrill as needed - it's not that big a deal of a job.
  2. It is, and I stand by it. Another addition to the swear filter is it, then?
  3. That does it, I'm on a mission to get a signature bass now. I just want to win at something, and I'm obscure AF.
  4. Nice colour, but too short for me...
  5. Currently - BB434M
  6. I don't feel that way. My CLF L-1000 is a fantastic bass which is a treat to play. My Tribute LB-100 is no slouch, and is definitely handy to take to (perceived) rougher gigs or unfamiliar places but it's not superior to the wunkay. It's the little things - the feel of the neck, how the pots turn, the smoothness of the tuners. No, the wunkay isn't 4-5 times better than the Tribute LB-100, but it is better. If it wasn't, I think I'd sell it in disgust.
  7. Specs are wrong - mine measures 43mm (1.69"). Have I helped?
  8. No, I can't make that one either. Not having much luck
  9. It's maybe only on the top because it's a poplar body with an ash top and they want to disguise that fact by making the back solid black.
  10. So... white then?
  11. First one is indoors, second one is outdoors. Either way, it's hard to photograph, but versus the stock photos, I'd say it appears greener than that most of the time I look at it. It's noticeably far from Lake Placid Blue etc.
  12. The emerald blue varies depending on the light - it's more blue in natural light and greener in artificial light. I guess the clue's in the name
  13. It's a fantastic bass at RRP, mine was £350 when I bought it and I thought I was stealing it at that price. £300 is a no-brainer. Which finish are you fancying?
  14. The website says 1.75" but I just measured mine and it's not quite that wide, I make it 43mm (1.69"), not 44.5mm. Splitting hairs, perhaps, and Jazz neck it decidedly is not, but thought I'd clarify.
  15. Also, I'm willing to bet that none of these reviewers have the slightest statistical basis upon which to base any of their speculation about QC. My eyes roll every time. By their logic - mine is great, ergo they're all great!
  16. Mine's great. An emerald blue one I bought in December 2021. Gigged it several times and it's been good as gold. Only negative was the rather ineffectual shielding - I got in there with the slug tape and sorted it out. Now that you've got me talking about it, I'm going to take it to my next gig on Saturday, so thanks for bringing it up
  17. My Reverend Triad continues to please me greatly.
  18. Can I borrow your rock please?
  19. As I said, "before yet another dogpile on the three point bridge gets going..." - not really getting at you and only quoting you for context, just steeling myself for the inevitable...
  20. I'll play (and not be a party pooper beyond wishing that this question was about the G&L custom shop instead of Fender) Precision Couldn't care less about body wood - ash, alder, poplar, whatever. Black finish Anodised gold pickguard Reverse P pickup (would like some slightly hotter/overwound bobbins compared to normal) Maple neck, I guess. Why not throw in the skunk stripe? Ebony fretboard with 21 frets, not 20 (that never made sense to me) Block inlays Matching black headstock Gold hardware (whatever their top of the line stuff is)
  21. Sorry to hear that, glad you found something that works for you. Wouldn't be fair not to point out that whatever it was about the stock bridge that was making your bass "unplayable" doesn't get in my way, or Jack Casady's for that matter. You know, before yet another dogpile on the three point bridge gets going...
  22. I put a Babicz on my Epiphone Les Paul bass. When is this revelatory improvement going to kick in? It's a bridge. I actually found the Babicz quite a faff to set up and I couldn't really give a monkeys that it's there when I'm playing the bass or not changing strings, which is the vast majority of the time. I would like to point out that the only reason the Babicz is there at all is because I couldn't find a gold three pointer for love nor money and I got impatient. If gold three pointers had been available, I'd have happily used that (and trousered the price difference)
