Just cut a criss cross grid in the 'holdy on to' end with a stanley blade.

I've had a good play with this now and I'm liking it. Firstly I'm not a tone aficionado when it comes to practicing, as long as I can hear what I need to I'm good to go. But this little thing sounds good. All the sims are plenty good enough and the freedom it brings outweighs any downsides. I haven't found it too bass heavy either, just set the bluetooth input eq to acoustic and it's quite bright, try other settings and see what gives you the sound you're after. I don't know think the lack of a volume control is really a problem either, I've just set it to be a comfortable level and then just adjust my phones volume to match, if playing along to stuff. One problem(?) I've found is that the manual says to hold the big round button for two seconds to switch to bass mode, it doesn't do this. I'm guessing the firmware has changed and this isn't a feature any more, or it is now and I need to update. But overall it's great. Great to be able to just have bass, NUX and headphones. I've even found a short cable for my headphones so there's not even excess cable in the way.

Ah OK. That's a different kettle of fish. Best of luck with the claim. 🙂👍

When were they supposedly delivered? If today then they might well show up tomorrow. I've had this and they mark it delivered due to targets/bonuses/penalties/paperworl, I don't exactly know why but it happens. Hopefully they'll show up.

Maybe a G&L Kiloton? The same but different.

@Paul S I still get that childlike wonder when I plug one in. Here's this bass that, let's face it, feels and looks like a toy, then you plug it in and WOW, that tone. It'll go from dark and thumpy to very Bruce Foxton-esque clank easily, but wherever you have the controls it's got clarity. I don't even think I'm going to do much to it, a good clean and polish and wear those battle scars with pride.

Get a Rick then.

I literally posted "I'm in", closed BC and opened Facebook and it was staring at me. Slightly tatty, but local and half the price it should be. I love a Dano bass so thought I'll add it to the project pile. In my defence I've just packaged up the more expensive Ashdown bass to go back, so I'm already winning... aren't I? 😁

Well this is embarrassing... I'm out! 😳

Actually, count me in. The plan this year is to focus on finishing all my embarrassingly neglected projects and maybe even sell some of other basses. I'm pretty sure I've got all the bits I need for each project so shouldn't fall foul. I've got three more days to go to beat last years attempt. 😄

My brain can't work it out at the mo but would the fret spacing work to the scale length? If the first three frets went, then the old 15th fret would become the new 12th, would this be halfway between the new nut and the bridge? It might well be, say if 4" was chopped off but the space between 12th and 15th was 2" then all would be good, wouldn't it? 🤔

Better get a Marshall full stack for rehearsal 😁. Great set list. I've said it before and I don't mind saying it again, Another Girl Another Planet is the finest pop song ever recorded IMO, perfection from start to finish. Congrats and enjoy the skinny strings 😎👍
