Well, this bloke clearly doesn't know what he's doing. His bass is the wrong way round and everything!

Exactly - who cares if a bassist uses a capo? If that group of theoretical people is greater than zero, then ask how many of those people's opinions matter? Are we at zero yet? If not, then ask yourself why these opinions matter to you.

You're asking this in this thread?

Just play it however you want.

Absolutely! You'll be prepared if the promised sonic nirvana doesn't materialise, but you don't have to use it...

Obviously it's 3 pickup Greco LP shaped basses, innit?

The vast majority of pictures here are of the top of the pedalboard (understandably), but I recently did some work under the hood - changed my PSU to a Cioks Sol and made a power pass through to a side mounted power socket.

Mate, those bright lights you mentioned aside, it's a sausage fest out there.

I use electronic trickery - specifically a cheapo Hotone Harmony pitch shifter. It's a little warbly (especially if you go further down than -1 semitone), but it tracks well and I find it perfectly acceptable for live work. Wouldn't record with it.

Back in business tomorrow night with Nine Lives, at the Balaclava in Fraserburgh...

I've only ordered computer bits from them but had no issues.

Oh wow, I got really confused for a min there, thinking "I'm sure I already did this" - finally figured it out - the thread's duplicated in Bass Guitars

Still waiting Week 15 now, allegedly (second week of April). I dunno what's going on - is it the supplier/manufacturer giving Bax the runaround, or is it just Bax giving me the runaround? Trouble is, I've got my heart set on this exact bass, I've bought parts specifically with this bass in mind. But I'm starting to get the heebie jeebies that I'm getting mucked around here and am starting to look around for something else. But finding a reverse P, pickguardless P bass is going to be tough at the kind of price I need for my £150 challenge to be viable. They have appeared occasionally on the second hand market (on FB marketplace a couple of times) so honestly I'm thinking the next time I see one in the wild I'm going to try to snag it, then cancel my order with Bax.

Well, in case you didn't see it, I'm back in business. A protracted hair pulling session later, I now have a bass which can be made silent with the volume knobs.

I'm guessing this belongs in here then... Greco LGB-700 Still got the Epi LP, but it's had a black and gold makeover (and a return to passive world with a pair of DiMarzio X2N-B pickups with series/parallel push/push pots on the passive tones)...

Done

You know what I think of the Z7, in that I approve highly of it. Don't worry about it being "too much bass" for you - you deserve as much bass as can be delivered to you.

Not at all, it's just too damn bright for me!

Cheers man, next gig is on Friday, another bar gig, this time in a place called Fraserburgh, a pub called The Balaclava. Got three new songs added to the set so should be an interesting evening!

Ack, Basschat in light mode, it burnsssss! My retinas!

Are shock absorbers and springs extra?

Mmm, stripey.
