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

A link might help?

Just do it my nitro bass crazed when left in my car ALL winter. Yours is likely to be acrylic paint, I doubt overnight would trouble it

Mind you, that’s from a starting point of 76

Probably twins… In The swarzenegger /de vito sense

So, I’d like to think there’s only one thing that any one person can be wrong about at any given time. Rest assured that after that wildly optimistic statement, you’re pretty much guaranteed to be right about everything else

Yes without a doubt

That’s okay, at least you didn’t say “guitarist” 😅

Like this ? Double p excepted https://reverb.com/uk/item/11331852-aria-pro-ii-diamond-series-rock-device-bass-1986-black google was most helpful also a YouTube link

And there’s probably more, and more able competition now

Really impressed with “collection only” from “gb, uk”. That is quite non-specific if you dig into it, it’s in Halesowen (probably)

Get that … understandable

After selling my P I’m left with a vintage est96a stingray clone, and a beaten up six string acoustic rescued by Simo from going to the tip. It cost me £7 for the parts to fix it up chap who bought my P says he has 27 basses. Twenty freaking seven. I only have one and understand scythes are being sharpened as I write this. Why are Amazon suddenly out of stock of both tar and feathers?

Word …

IME a wipe over with white spirit shows what a stain might do

I’d say cloth with white spirit, very good for picking up hidden dust and shows imperfections

I have the active bass shown in yellow/natural Can thoroughly endorse it. It has mellowed to a trans honey colour and punches far above its weight

The way I feel today it’s a 1699 Flounder precision bass lute, with tortoiseshell veneer and a bridge made of armada timber

I found that the signal pin was touching. Rotating it solved the problem

So one could not be c o c k a hoop about anything … or go off “half c. Ked”. It has a wide variety of meanings in everyday use unlike say f cu k
