The story is that despite having a musical family no one helped me as a child develop any skills - too busy with the alcohol fuelled DV, and one last piece of land from that farm remains with myself and another as trustee … and selling it is good business but idiot is having to be pushed up the stairs to do it. I want rid of the land and of her lazy butt and I’m trying to recycle the bad memories into something better

Thanks - any views on the active, tone, quality? im basically a standard fender guy and this is a step out of my comfort zone as I want to try 5 again and I’m dissatisfied with fender ones.

Short version …. I’m needing to buy something for me, based on something much bigger that I’ve had to sell for good business reasons, and that thing has good and bad memories from childhood and now that I want to replace with better ones. So I’m buying a really good bass, Sire basses seem to get good reviews so like a jazz bass, not roasted maple, white, natural or sunburst, available in five string though you may have had the four. Active, used is fine 500£ tops or £600 new which I know will get me “less” will also be getting my p bass and vintage stingray clone fettled, probably by @Andyjr1515 as long as he promises to keep my basses at least six feet away from any weedy six string things lest they become infected this is not happening next week so please don’t use your marketplace item as anything other than an example thank you for your wisdom, perhaps @CiciBass has tried some in vids? ** **see how I’m including the new member there

We are nice to everyone. This isn’t TalkBass

Well said that woman. You’re doing exactly what I’m teaching my two girls

I don’t think they’re wrong to hold their opinion, and it’s not necessarily wrong. Maybe I am; I just don’t think his canon matches the promise. Like when you see a great looking steaming mug of coffee that isn’t as good tasting as it looks

Thank you. I don’t give a foxtrot unicorn Charlie kilo what they think of my opinion, I defend their right to think differently

I get the showmanship thing, less impressed by the content

Yamaha do an online timing tester

I’d snap their hand off

Bryan adams and Mel c when youre gone should not like it but I like that one

Way beyond my means but I’d like the buttercream T bass

Splosh…

G string is a pun, Nilorious refers to a part of the lingerie as well as the bass string

Yes, and it must be made of the right wood…

Shockingly expensive

Cool bassline though

It’s English slang for the end part of a penis

Izzaut ….with a diacritic on the second z

Yes but many have been fettled into decent shape since
