Just post your question here 👍

Why the screwdriver issue? Why not simply change the battery holder for one you can open easily without tools? That’s a whole lot easier Click I’ve had my sire 9 months and I’ve changed batteries once - why make your life hard doing routing ? Sire has these x 2

Picture 2 is disqualified as the title is about “basses” and that clearly isn’t one. puzzled that the cuckoo has so many frets though

that looks unusually clean for anywhere in Nottingham. I’d be expecting to see vomit, and maybe squashed kebab ?

I first picked up a white/white/maple p bass copy in 1990. I carried it all the way from a music shop near Colchester castle (in its box) to the train station (seriously long way) and then by train to Chelmsford, where I once again walked ** … all the way across town to my flat where I played it acoustically for two days before I decided it sounded crap without an amp. More saving up … ho hum … ** there are those with supportive parents who would be thinking “this is 1990, not 1820… surely a parent could…” no. They never encouraged or helped in any way whatsoever (will someone please stop playing that f***ing violin?)

😮‍💨that was a close one …

They are at j25 m1, John lives near me at j22

Suggest you try Turners, which is about 200 miles closer than East Sussex and if they cannot help you I’ll put you in touch with John. Edit: https://share.google/XD1SRdoo5dTYW1dTo recently he saw my acoustic bass from about 20 feet away and said it needed more bow. He was right #blackmagic very helpful and knowledgeable chap

There is one in beeston, Nottingham thats a lot closer. “Turner violins” I know for certain that they do double bass - fairly close to m1 junction Failing that I know a double bass luthier in Coalville who may be able to help you or at least signpost you. he built his own cello from raw lumber … ✨🤷‍♂️ knowing him he’ll probably make you a magical one out of five lolly sticks and some glue that will survive nuclear holocaust

FTFY edit: and you’ll save on heating costs

I’d like one but think I’ll have to go EUB for space reasons

I read somewhere that JT learned “chucking” from Bernard Edward’s and that this technique uses the nail to get a pick like sound?

She sells sanctuary? Blinding tune to play if you embellish the middle eight

What if theyre vintage? Or made of tone-plastic, or fender-badged? Surely they would be truly magical from the moment of manufacture and defy all reasonable expectations from first use? ✨

I’m joking about @paul_5 gazumping @Rosie C….. I did add an emoticon

You don’t even know her partner. You may not be his type. 😛

Optional toast rack?

Passive-mode sire v7 with my zoom b2’s ampeg patch and quite loud. The active patch doesn’t sound as good - lady who runs the OM pulled a face at active mode, confirming what I myself thought

@police squad

That’s interesting. For me the string spacing made the difference between a keeper and a “for sale” sign

It looks very much like the bigger rounded 70s style - which I much prefer aesthetically. Obvious it would be preferable not attached to a guitar …

It will be harder for them to come back and pinch it nothing bass-related as no one here understands bass. Eldest D is pictured playing a @Prosebass 5 at about three years old and twanging a jap jazz bass at around eight months but that’s the closest I got

What if it’s vintage tonewood? 🍿 I’m also assuming that a longer g string screw on the bridge saddle makes it sound different also

Big headstock strat, approve of that
