Dazed

And fingers crossed for a birthday nbd!

Surprised to read about bodies being made from Pine, quite a soft wood - half the hardness of alder or ash. Interested to see how they wear etc

Baby Heart Dirt - Cardiacs

There’s really no need. History is full of terrible but successful bands. And opinions.

No I believe they are an independent German company. https://haeussel.com/index.php?id=30#

but huge in the US.

Finally got some new strings for my Yamaha TRB 6ii. Trying these Pitbulls out. Got tired of looking for a set of Elixirs. Great service too. Ordered and delivered in less than 24 hrs, despite Royal Mail’s best attempts to not deliver even with Next Day Guaranteed service. Just have to get around to fitting them now...

Unless the 4 string jazz pickups are blade types and wide enough to cover the width of 5 strings I don’t see how 4 or 8 magnets in a typical 4 string J pickup would sense the 5 strings evenly or well at all? If you have the pickups and assuming the body wouldn’t need routing mods to fit, just try it and see how it works out.

GAS 2022 is here. Nooooooooooo!!!

I noticed earlier today Bass Direct have Pre owned guitars listed for sale. I have no idea if this is a new thing or not. Could be worth a call.

Buds And Spawn - Cardiacs

This appears on my feed within minutes of reading your post. All the colours. With glitter.

Well if you think of letting it go 😄 Can you recall did the conversion change the sound or character much ?

Dirty Boy - Cardiacs

Psssst...... There’s one for sale on FB I think it was £600 ish

Oh - Spratleys Japs

@therealting Love this! Any chance of an update on this? Had this idea for a long time and never bring myself to do it. Oh the basses I’ve in my head chopped the head off 😂

There’s Too Many Irons In The Fire - Cardiacs

This.

Was also going to suggest anything Yamaha flavoured. Can’t lose if not knackered or overpriced.
