Ball and chain - Martin Harley

Punk - Gorillaz

Apparently it was light and looked fine upside down for a lefty!

They are definitely Marmite. They do sound amazing though and everyone seems to really enjoy playing them. I suspect they are the Stingray’s more able sibling but sadly hit every branch of the ugly tree. Edit: I don’t ever want to play one for this reason as I suspect it would be better than my Stingray and I would have to swap one of the best looking basses ever made for one of the all time fugly basses!

Wasn’t he primarily a guitarist before the Beatles? A short scale less bulky instrument may just feel more natural?

Pickup types: P = Precision J= Jazz PJ = Both In terms of the Mustang bass the PJ variant rather than the trad Mustang pickups.

Money (Dollar Bill) - Whitey Ford

The passenger - Iggy Pop

Fast car - Tracy Chapman

I’m not sure how temporary this situation is. If the jitters in China start to become more serious there could be a sharp drop in lending worldwide. In theory this should be deflationary but the situation is so FUBAR anything could happen.

In a lonely place / new order

Fight for your mind - Ben Harper

Nowhere to run - Martha and the vandellas

I get it. I just think the custom shop range already caters for these guys.

If someone has a big budget and believes nitro and mm perfect exact reproduction will make them sound better I’m sure there is a market for them. For the rest of us a Vintera from the desired era will certainly do the job. Set it up nicely and use it plenty to give it the desired “mojo”.

The Vintera range is pretty close and far cheaper.

Teach your children -CSN&Y

If people are experiencing a weak G issue the pickup poles can be raised or lowered to compensate. Just remove the pickup raise the G pole, lower the others, replace pickup and it should balance out fine.

Dead heroes - anti nowhere league

Funeral party - The Cure

Forever and ever - Demis Rousos

Stray cat strut - stray cats

Kind of. In all it’s malformed glory.

Pie Jesu - Andrew Lloyd Weber. A homage to biblical meat and veg wrapped in pastry I believe.

I can’t speak for the OP but I wouldn’t describe myself as a musician. I’m just a ham fisted bodger that noodles around on the bass. They are frequently in bits as much as in a playable state. I would say music did have a big impact on my life. Any teenager with pretty much zero interest in football and the usual blokes banter should get into a band and or get a bike/skateboard. It will definitely open up new possibilities and IMO a greater range of possibilities.
