For what it’s worth, there’s a very nice Sadowsky on BassBros website at the moment 👍

No idea, I’m merely a sheep. But, I believe it’s come across from forums such as Reddit that aren’t so bass specific. I’ve read plenty of random threads where people have asked this about a pickup combination or amp etc… The Basschat equivalent surely would be ‘what’s the weight?’ Anyway, back to the thread at hand… very cool! Naive as I am, I think after googling it, it’s some of the first pictures I’ve ever seen of bootsy not actually looking like ‘Bootsy’

Will this work for metal?

That is rather lovely! You’ve got a very, very nice collection of Jazzes now haven’t you?

I have one of these and they’re fantastic little amps! This is a steal at £100. GLWTS. -

I have to admit that up until about 2 years ago, I don’t think I’d seen a roasted neck. Yet, they seem to be going on everything now. Is there a benefit to the process or is it just the in thing. Genuine question this, I’m not against them, I think they look great. Just curious as to whether there’s more to it than aesthetics. Alex -
Not sure whether it’s the issue. But, it could be cut fractionally too low on the nut. ,I had a similar issue on the E string of a 4 string short scale. It really stumped my tech as it all technically looked to be correct. The issue was rectified by using a paste and bringing the string up at the nut a very tiny amount. On the face of it, it was all technically within his usual tolerances. But, after trying a few things, he raised this and it completely removed the problem.

I think Jared Followill from Kings of Leon is an incredibly underrated bass player. Especially on the first few albums and personally think ‘Only By The Night’ shows his best playing, even if this isn’t my favourite album. It’s not overly complex stuff but I think what his lines add to the songs melodically is superb. Helps that the band were the reason I started wanting to play music but hey! I’m a fan 🪭

Stunning that! 35” would swamp me but someone will snap it up. GLWTS 👌 -

I 2nd the Gretsch shout. I picked up a used but basically brand new one from BassBros for £245 and it’s been the best money I’ve ever spent. I'm regularly on the lookout for one of these (since you posted the picture of your white one) but they rarely pop up from my searches. -
I know it’s not the real deal. But, I wanted to give the Rush tribute ‘Moving Pictures’ a shoutout. Saw them in Birmingham last night with my old man and they were fantastic. Incredibly tight and very convincing. Granted, I’ve not seen the real thing live. But, my Dad has seen them a handful of times and was equally impressed! I’m sure many have seen them before but I was well impressed!

Yes, lots. Gretsch G2220 for me. Cost me £245 from BassBros. Has £100 of Gotoh hardware on. It’s my #1 now and helps pay my mortgage. Sounds and feels so good to me that it made me sell my Vintera Mustang.

NBD! A modified OLP Tony Levin 5-string Ray-a-like!
AlexDelores replied to kwmlondon's topic in Bass Guitars
I know you don’t like the fotoflame. But I think it looks great! I hesitated and missed out on one of these last year and still regret not snapping it up. Enjoy! -
I think myself, and many other bass players have thought that we need a P bass with Flats in our collection over the last few weeks after watching the Sean Hurley SBL interview. Fortunately the GAS has subsided, and I’ve reminded myself I’m not a professional studio bass player with a need for that ‘certain’ sound.

I’m the opposite, I love the feel, but hate the sound. They make everything sound clanky to my ears. But, then I’ve only ever really played cheaper flats.
