I've always found that moving the strap button to the heel fixes the balance issue with no worries.

Thanks all, just hope I can maintain the others enthusiasm, it's a side project for all of us, so could be tricky, but I have a feeling it could work perfectly in that context once the initial slog of learning all the material is done.

[quote name='police squad' timestamp='1411627293' post='2561214'] what's it a tribute to Gafbass? [/quote] Placebo, I know he plays white, but I've owned white before and silver looks so cool and would still fit

Nope, no rusty nuts here.

Nice, I'm currently desperate to pick up one of the silver ones for a tribute band before they all sell out, but I need to sell an amp first.

I had a random idea last week of a band I'd like to try, fired it at some mates who were keen, and tonight we had our first rehearsal, and I have to say it sounded really promising! I'm the guitarist/vocalist, and have spent the past week beasting myself on the material, there's a long way to go in terms of getting it 'just right', but I plan on booking a gig for the new year to set a hard deadline. Very pleased and excited, now I just have to cross my fingers they all stay enthused and onboard!

My bass is on page 1. It looks pretty different these days, but is still the one I'll never part with:) [URL=http://s34.photobucket.com/user/gafbass02/media/b9821fa7.jpg.html][IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/b9821fa7.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Bought my fretless neck, great from start finish. Top banana :-)

Been there! done that!

I must admit, much as I enjoy mine, it's just sitting there most of the time.

Likewise, I was onstage within two weeks of buying my first bass about 23 years ago, I think the longest I've been without a gig since then was about six months. It's my world. I'm not pro, and I find booking them the worst part of it all. But it's all I know, without gigging I can't imagine what I'd do. I host weekly open mic nights too, where I'll often play. Lately I've started playing acoustic and electric guitar too, so I've three different bands on the go, where I play three different instruments, and am the vocalist. So these days my bass only gigs feel like a holiday!

Winner winner chicken dinner!

I just put this on last week [URL=http://s34.photobucket.com/user/gafbass02/media/2333D65E-CCC0-4460-BC81-38CF3D13F144.jpg.html][IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/2333D65E-CCC0-4460-BC81-38CF3D13F144.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I try to rehearse weekly, just to keep the interest and because it's fun. I also like a tight ship! We rehearse at my place in headphones using a jamhub. The basement is a rehearsal space, which is just so much better than driving to a studio, setting up, getting levels, volume wars then taking it all down. With the jamhub We each have our own private, preferred mix and volume level, the sound quality is fantastic, it's all right there in your ear, no more 'what are you playing?' Moments. It's all set up, walk in, pick up guitar/bass/sticks and play

Another vote for legacy here. Great strings.
