Just make one, pretty basic shape. Fun too.

Dependent on scale, build etc. for a drop A I would use a .135-140 B, then normal gauge for the rest. If you are dropping to F#, you will need a much thicker string which will result in very high tension when in drop A. If you are planning to drop to F# a lot, I woud slap on a set of Kalium 174 136 106 79 59 43 and then tune (as standard) F# B E A D G, for drop A you then just drop the B to A...

There won't be any description on BC, it will all be "telepathic" using the 7G Huawei Neural Network

Well this thread has taken a rather unexpected turn.

Rockbass Steamer Standard is the model, long discontinued in this config. 140 is about right, although 100 would not be cheating the seller imo..... well, they just do not resell easily. Carolina body, whichis some sort of pine.

Bah humbug..... to quote Talk Talk, Life’s what you make it. 🤪

I seriously do not see how seperating 4 from 5, fretted from fretless or whatever would be particularly beneficial for all forum members.... some might like it, others like the ability to browse the entire spectrum. We could not possibly cater for everyone’s wishes on splits so to me keeping them all under basses for sale makes sense.

Big fan, still am. Great singer, great bands.

I have one with a built in sofa, really handy for lounge gigs..... 🤪 I will just go back to work....

I think a lot of these “ thoughts” are not particularly based on fact, more on hunches/half truths/ancient wisdom etc. If you all have a reasonably accurate tuner, the differences between tuners will be smaller than the inaccuracy of the operators themselves.

Rickenbacker? Don’t believe I have ever heard of them....

For me it is without a doubt Frank Zappa, closely followed by Chris Cornell. Both shook me quite a bit.

Wow..... only 62

Some of you know I have ”migrated” to a Helix LT. Great all-in one gigging solution, that sounds marvelous. But since buying and selling stuff appears to be part of the hobby (some may call it GAS) I set out to build a small pedal board again. I had sold some pedals but not all when migrating and I also kept my pedal board. Anyway, several hundred quid later my small pedal board is now a larger size and it sounds gorgeous. So now I can pick Helix OR old school analogue. - Templeboard Trio 21 (already owned) - Pedal Power 2 (already owned) - Lehle 3@1 as I use 3 basses (already owned) - Tuner (Pitchblack mini) in the secondary output (already owned) - Broughton HPF (purchased off BC) - Keeley Bassist (purchased off BC, I sold the Pro I had) - COG T47 (bought new, 2 T16s man...) - Bearfoot BBBO (already owned) - COG TK421x (already owned, my youngest son as decal) - COG Grand Tarkin fuzz (already owned, my eldest as decal) - Julia chorus (purchased locally, as new) - WR Goliath tube pre/DI (bought here...... wow...)

Bas just sold me a compressor, totally hassle free transaction (again). Recommended seller! Thanks Bas.

Oh dear. Yes something like that....
