I think that’s a unique case. on the facts … they’re kids and cannot afford to tread the righteous path of bass on their own. @bassbiscuits isn’t playing the bass himself, I assume, other than to educate at least they won’t become guitards So…. I would say this is a situation to be merciful given the greater picture of “more people playing bass”

I only have two , a 4 and a 5. Both quite cheap / the four was cheap but a present from partner. the 5 is a sire so not super-expensive cheating isn’t really a thing for me

I’d suggest starting in London. Downing Street might be worth a look

I have a president I’d like to de… hang on. This belongs in Notable Deaths

Just anchor your hand near the E and move to B when you need. It’s about your mental approach not whether you use fingers or are pick-weird 😛

It depends how you do it. Just ignore the low B and thumb-root on E until you need to go lower, or if using the B would avoid open E. If someone asks you to change key down/up by 1 st you can then do it easily whereas if you’re playing with open strings you can’t. Just use it when it makes things easier

I’m not proud - I’d happily play a (standard) one if I thought 0.01% of his undeniable talent would rub off - much as I dislike much of his output.

Maybe he will recover if given enough antibiotics

He probably used to play bass but was led astray by the dark side

I’ve never tried one but maybe I should

Put some tort on it 👍 seriously … im Not aesthetically-minded generally but it would have to be a sonically-amazing example of that model for me to overlook it.

It can’t be that hard to gather a rolling total per user per annum of value of items sold where condition = new (ie x) and x > 1000£

I’d ask John east himself - he is a member here

I just use my zoom b2.1 (discontinued in Saxon times and made of linden wood) with a bit of compression and the ampeg patch with cab enabled then straight into the PA I was in the cobblers today and he shows up at my OM night to drink. He said my bass sounded really good. Those weren’t his exact words - there was an adjective starting with F

It can, if a part of the signal touches earthing you’ll get a buzz or hum

Like that shielding …

Often the problem is only when it is all screwed together because things touch and the situation is not obvious when disassembled - that might be why your luthiers missed it I found a Jack socket was rubbing on the shielding - I put clear tape over the foil and the problem went away

It’s easier to get eBay to collect tax for them on people selling second hand goods bought from taxed-income than go after the very rich. selling 1000 of new stuff in a year is a legitimate target, but only when you also tax wealthy people

I’d have to leave basschat …. 🥺

Honestly … even a guitard would have spotted you as a ringer. Now give us the real @Obrienp back before we mince your tentacles.

WTAF ? When you aliens take over the minds of our members it would really help you pass unnoticed if you don’t make stupid uncharacteristic statements like that. no genuine basschat member would ever come out with such rubbish 🤦‍♂️ Do your freaking homework !

Oh dear ….. I see financial damage in your future and I didn’t need a crystal ball 🤦‍♂️

Could you buy a ready made and painted body cheaper ? Just a thought
