I get the same feeling with old basses that I do when touching old furniture. The weight of history and the lightness of touch by all the humans that have owned it. doesn’t mean that chest of drawers is innately better made than one from furnitureland or more sturdy somehow

Agree the red was sprayed last, over some of the black so it does look artificially wide when red fades @Turbineclimber

I have actually done that on a jazz bass. You’re being me again aren’t you ? now I need to think of another reason not to buy one 🤔

Do a forum search this topic comes up a lot

They are three way; series /parallel /single coil on the original RB if it had blocks I might be tempted

What site are you posting on ? Get with the program … I fixed it for you

The one I saw him demonstrate on a video was sunburst

I never moved on, never needed to

You’re on a mission from God (aka mr jamerson) - those are earthly concerns

That’s an awesome book i agree, Duck Dunn and Bob Babbitt alongside in the midnight hour ain’t no mountain high enough tears of a clown or the track listing of either” the committments” cd

If you listen to “love comes tumbling” and “bad” I think he’s actually a better musician than people think

Those ah … um … brave and convention-defying

Or guitarists?

You may have confused us with drummers?

Judging by his use of $ I suspect shipping may be a little expensive

I don’t think mousemat foam is hugely different from what went before.

I said “no” when I read the title. Too many strings, too weedy

isn’t it ? Oh .. 😥 I thought y’all lived in castles on the edge of a loch and wore kilts 24:7 whilst listening to del amitri (good bass btw)

You’re being me again, stop Being in my (neep) head. I really must go and buy some petticoat shortbread … 😛

When I saw adam Clayton at live aid being uber cool with a green jazz bass. That led me to “under a blood red sky” I was asked to play a guitar at an online music night. They had sniffed at bass, I told them I played guitar less well than horses do. Click “leave”…

We have lots of Americans, including some who choose to live in this rain sodden hole. @dclaassen i like to think y’all come here because it’s much nicer than talkbass.com I’ve been to the Carolinas, Labour Day 1990 on a work trip. My colleague and I had jagermeister cocktails on the beach just ask if anything puzzles you. It’s not a problem

I’m going to throw a snake into this Whitney-fest - I cannot listen enough times to Bad, the song u2 did at live aid it was this moment when I knew I wanted a bass. I love the sweeping sensuality of the bass and the way it intertwines around the guitar . I vividly recall walking down a tree lined avenue in Greenwich Connecticut listening to the version off the unforgettable fire album on my Walkman . It’s just connected and Interlaced musically and lyrically and that is where I think reg Presley’s pixie dust can be found

They’re quite expensive but maybe they’re worth it ?

It’s still a good idea
