Exactly so. Make a shorter neck with the same number of frets, extend the neck pocket a little to accommodate the extra frets, move the pickups a little bit (possibly just the neck pickup), leave all the other gubbins where it is. Reduces production costs and makes for a better balanced bass.

It's a pickup configuration that I want to use for a home build that I'm very very slowly putting together.

What idiot would put up a video which mostly consists of shoving a piece of wood around behind the 3D object in question? <looks on YouTube and checks poster's name> Oh.

I got a cheapie off Ebay, similar to https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284697979139 (same tablet as you). A couple of others at an open mic I go to have the same one. Works well, though I've found that to keep the tablet pointing up at the sort of angle you'd have a music stand at, you need to grip the tablet across the bottom. Maybe I should try using the holder lengthwise instead of widthwise <makes note to do that when I've got the tablet holder out of the car>.

That tends to be an attribute of HB basses in general.

Lovely! Is that a standard model with the P/MM pickups?

I was wondering about a Godin A5, then at an open mic night I encountered somebody with one and had a feel of it. Far too chunky a neck for my liking. How does the GB-notreally5-4 neck compare to the A4, @Frank Blank?

Two new ranges, the American Pro-Am and the American Amateur.

That's very true.

Surely it's the gender that it self-identifies as.

Haven't they been recruited for the Grand Masters' black helicopter?

Right click on the picture and select "Copy image address" and paste that in. https://i.imgur.com/Wy1GuHn.jpeg We in the UK can still only see it with a VPN though.

I'm another potential.

I did leave a social club band I'd been in for a while to join a rock band. It was all very amicable and I depped for them a few times over the following years.

That reminds me, who ate all the Hobnobs in the GM black helicopter?

You are Bruce Forsyth AICMFP.

This was some bloated Vauxhall Grandland, I doubt a club full of guys could have bounced the bloody thing.

While in Birmingham, drop in on Fair Deal Music too - it's only a couple of miles from Guitar Guitar and they have a fair few basses in.

Very definitely a parson's egg of an evening. Jack's Entertainment Centre in Bedworth - we've played there once before, in the front room. This time we were in the back room, using the house PA. We only used it for vocals and the sound man also set up an ambient mic for the drumkit. Nice big stage, pretty good sound, and a good audience. Managed to get quite a few of them up for Time Warp which is by no means a given. Afterwards, one middle-aged man came up to three of us individually to tell us that when we played Dakota (opening number), his dad who had dementia told him he recognised it - it was one of his favourite songs and the pair of them had a great night. Always good to get some positive feedback. Now the not so good bit. The car park also services some flats, and it turned out I'd parked in a bit for residents (I didn't realise). Some complete bastard parked blocking me (and two other cars belonging to residents) in. Mrs Zero and I had to get an Uber home and come back the next day, when the complete bastard had moved, to retrieve my car. No, I didn't key his car. That would have been too obvious. After all, we'll be going back there. As usual, Sei Flamboyant 5 headless -> M-Vave wireless -> Zoom MS-60B+ -> Tecamp Puma 900 -> GR Bass AT212 and Caravelle memory foam trainers, with socks.

Thank heavens, as otherwise there would be none that could be guaranteed to be independent.

They have an Ebay store, interestingly not called gearupmusic but thekingdomofgames. They don't seem to have bought anything through Ebay, only sold stuff, and they do have 99.6% positive rating. Items in their Ebay store don't seem outlandishly priced, but I haven't scrutinised them, just cast a glance over them. No sign of reviews on Trustpilot - is there anywhere else that might have reviews?

Ah, the fatline body?

We just need the £300 Wal for a Basschat full house.

Although there are one or two English grammar "rules" which are ridiculous because they're relevant only in Latin - to never split an infinitive (Latin infinitives are one word so cannot be split) and to never use a preposition to end a sentence with.
