Why not just wind some PTFE tape around the shaft ? ** ** I’ve paid good money for this ...

That’s a bit unusual

Are the pups the same size (exactly)?

Good call

Hard metal, not cheese metal or death metal

Those look like the ones I got (packaging v similar) . They were usable

Nothing wrong with that

Suggest you look up Kate Davis and also Post Modern jukebox - in one vid they have two guys playing a double handed bass solo on just one bass. It’s the one with three girls singing in glam dresses

It’s not called “the dusty end” for nothing....

A Japanese 62ri jazz that I bought from the late oldgit. Also a natural 75 ri jap jazz scored for just 300£ on eBay because stupid scheduled it to finish at 2am

Yes get metal ones - best for playing metal

That’s glossary 1.0, ready made, right there. Good work mister

It worked out for Sting ...maybe it’s okay because he is already in the police ?

It would be helpful for any newbie if you could explain at least the outline of what they’re about ? Kind of like “showing him/her where the toilets are”? figuring out some of “the darker magic” of basschat could take quite a bit of thread archeology. I’ve been here ten years and I still don’t know the reference behind “a waste of TIM”. @ped could we consider adding a glossary? We are getting to a point of jargon-load where there are too many references to obscure things that no newbie can expect to unpick and so integrate ?

Take A look at this @julietgreen She’s not tall and managing fine

@Harryb0201 you should be aware that “is that bass any good for playing metal?” Is something of an in-joke around these parts

Famous place, squire...

Is this a banjo forum ? Or bow-hunting ?

Many many moons ago I bought the white guitar version ... I got better .. with therapy

But with books you can work at your own pace without constantly reaching for the Pause button

He does books on every conceivable subject bass-wise and he gives really good examples. He was apparently a guitard once but chose instead the righteous path of bass

Can I recommend Ed Friedland books to you @Harryb0201 he does lots of YouTube also. See also @Stuart Clayton for explaining extended scale patterns I also commend “bass guitar for dummies”, in the local library probably, as the author deconstructs the process of choosing notes for a bass line over given chords in a painless and informative manner. Lightbulb moment for me as he did it in just the right way.

Au contraire, he seems quite happy to be talking about “old crap”
