go for it, mister. I have small children; I'll be very much middle aged before I get to do much with my bass, so you're not alone.

can you explain your riposte/approval or disavowal of my point a little better ? I really don't get your meaning.

i too admire his skill and fluency with the instrument. However his usage of it leave me uninspired; its not what I think bass playing is. If you listen to african music where they successfully marry a recurring and prominent bass groove with some lyrical or melodic flourishes, that what I think it should be. Not polite and hidden, not overbearing and pointlessly flashy.

Totally agree

black grain filler is often used on natural or transparent finishes. Thats a really nice piece of wood, you got lucky there.

Or a drummer

He didn’t reply to text

I quite fancy that as a project but he is nowhere near me

I’ll take some

battering cod or haddock - maybe you'd prefer Bread

that will teach him not to choose the lobster....

jamerson at his best.

there's a lot of past threads on this topic - you can get a pretty good idea from reading those.

a bass doc built precision of mostly japanese components,loosely based on a 73 maple 3tsb. Notably for a yet-another-Precision, it has a Fender "no-load" tone, so fulltone means the tone pot is electrically bypassed. It has a cheap "Blues tribute" pup from US ebay on it and it always gets complimented on looks and sound.Its a better instrument than I am at playing it.

Well they quoted me a price and a delivery charge So they probably do have stock

I actually really enjoyed that - very conspiratorial.

thank you

ok - they say they are alder but could be wrong. I assume you could just put sanding sealer on it and you're good to go ? I'm thinking of transparent blonde in nitro with some celluloid tort

thank you Contemplating a jazz bass kit What’s the word good enough for natural finish? How realistic was the febder haead stock?
