If that came as a five-string and had a maple board, I'd be all over it. Space Oddity here we go.

Slow Boat to China -Peggy Lee

Then you have signature basses like the Buzzard, which although containing no signature at all, firmly point to a specific player (in this case, George Formby) 🤥 Me, I'm still searching for a Roscoe Beck V in CAR, and have been for years.

My bad. 👹

Damn! Just dropped it into a charity shop this morning as well.

Steady, steady! 😁

Torty McTortface for me. 👍

Down the Dustpipe - Status Quo

Sorted 🙂

Move to St Kilda. There's a lot of rock there. 😎

I think the Gibson had coil tapping switches for each pickup and a full-contact Babicz bridge. This does look remarkably similar to your example, with the open pole-pieces. The Gibson sounds nothing like a Musicman Stingray whatsoever. Might be wrong, but the pups were those used on Gibson's EB4/5 basses and sound very good (to my ears anyway). I like the one you posted, for what it's worth. 😁

Been there (so often), done that (ditto). 😭

A fine selection

Looks very fine to me.

And, what looks like an L9S?

Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West - Benny Hill

Rookin' Around the Christmas Tree - Kim Wilde and Mel Smith

Raven I'm Raven - Shut Up and Dance

Gotho-spice! 😄

Or 'released'? 👍

Haven't considered amps I've used for ages. They were: Something called a Hawk 15 from a catalogue back in '75. It was appalling. Doused it in petrol and continued playing through it as it burned and went out with a bang. (Fun days indeed) Next came a Selmer 100 watt Treble and Bass amp through two 18" cabs Next came a Marshall Super Bass through the two 18s Then bought another Marshall Super Bass and two 4x12 cabs to go with the 1st and the two 18s - that made a bass stack about the size of York Minster After the then band folded,I downsized (not difficult - see above) to a Peavy Databass, which I think was around 400 watts and very transportable Next came a Trace Quatravalve and three Trace cabs (1x18 and 4x10 + 4x5 bright-box) That was moved on for a rig Basstractor commented on here about eleven years ago, giving me a row for the amount of gear - 2 Eden Metro combos, each atop either an Eden 4x10 XST, Eden 2x12, or Eden 1x18. Beyond awsome sound - if you were alive at the time and had windows in your house, you'll have heard it. 😂 Like all good things, that combination had to be broken up and bits sold off. (I still use the XST and the 1x18 to this day, if feeling like some serious heft.) Moved on to a Euphonic Audio i-amp 350 combo Traded up to Euphonic Audio i-amp 800 top through the Eden cabs - then added two EA 1x12 + horn cabs Kept the EA 800 and bought an Ampeg SVT6 (a beast of an amp), enjoyed that so much, I bought another Ampeg called a BR500 DRU (I think?) - programmable digital job, and an Ampeg 100 watt 1x15 combo. Used these for a while and then used a Genzbenz Shuttle 600 Increased the power and flexibility by getting a Genzbenz Shuttlemax 12 - tremendous sound Moved across to Aguilar and bought a Tone Hammer 700 and eventually a DB751 So there you go - you did ask. Best of that lot? For me, the portability and reliability of the TH 700 can't be beaten - sounds good as well, especially through the EA 1x12s. However, if serious bass and 'feel' are required, the DB751 and the two Eden cabs are the best I've ever played through. Still toying with the idea of Barefaced cabs at some point. (I need a doctor. Now!)
