But what is music? It's perfectly summarised in the title of this really great 30 years old tune.

And cut yourself a leg!

Check Warwick...

It was an entry model, so I guess it's more a Vietnamese model. Here is all the data I have.

Which model as there can be a huge difference? The Brian Bromberg signature was and still is excellent.

First proposition for sure.

Check Lord of the Strings website: https://lordofthestrings.com/en/bass?types=4&categories=6&subcategories=30&order=3 Is Markus Millar the German Marcus Miller ... ? 🤔😂😉

They are all crap, really, because of the design as it's just a disguised barrel jack. I'm using these barrel jacks with great longevity for many years: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alnicov-Stereo-Copper-Guitar-Cylinder/dp/B08L69K6QH/

She is an amazing bassist for sure, but this new band is really meh, too much (bad) synths in it, sometimes the sax is also doing his thing with a sax thingy synth and eventually it becomes a boring gig... She was more entertaining with the previous band and album. I've been following her since almost the beginning and have all the records, but this last band iteration is too Polish for my liking (synths everywhere, hey we are not in the 80's anymore).

But the Fender reference number links to the correct neck, see above.

Releasing the tension on the truss rod is way better than straightening it to have a dead flat fingerboard. 😉

Porcupine Tree is a local tribute band, isn't it? 🤪🤔🤦🏻

John Taylor of Duran Duran isn't exactly a gospel player and plays maybe too big stages when he appears on TV... And maybe Mike Porcaro was a weekend warrior playing only poorly advertised and badly paid pub gigs never seen on TV...

Looks like a resurgence of the Fathead... https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/fathead-sustain-enhancer-fender-310387341

It's a Mexican neck indeed @Lozz196 and here are all the specs: https://be.fender.com/products/precision-to-jazz-bass-conversion-neck-20-med-jumbo-frets-12-radius?shpxid=42742186-e9a8-4ad6-ba2e-899ecb2c8766 So the JMJ tuners should fit if they are of the 4 screws kind. The frets work on these Fender replacement necks is usually excellent, you'll only need to file down the nut.

I've had some posters during the 90's signed by Jim himself until they started asking money for it... 🤦🏻 Talked a few times with him too about amps and drums, he was a very nice guy.

It's everywhere, but this stupid idea comes from the USA.

Because of the stupid old way instruments are sold, with an official price and a street price, which is often 30% less and is the price you really pay.

Hi @lksmks792, I'm in Belgium too, in the deep South part, close to Luxemburg. You could come home if you are in the neighbourhood and try my Casio GP-510 BP, which is an hybrid digital (upright) piano with 3 of the main piano brands sampled: Bechstein, who provided the grand piano mechanism, Steinway and Bösendorfer. I also own a Korg B2 (weighted keys) connected through my computer, to the VSL Synchron Steinway D standalone software and it sounds amazing through my calibrated monitors and headphones too. If you are in the North part, Maene in Gent, and many other places, is the place to go to buy a piano (second hand or new, acoustic, hybrid or fully digital): https://www.maene.be/en_BE/ If you want to stick to an acoustic upright, have a look at the Zimmermann brand, owned by Bechstein: https://www.bechstein.com/fr/pianos-droits-et-a-queue/zimmermann/#zimmermann Check the ads there if you're in the North part, and you'll be amazed by the number of acoustic pianos almost given for free: https://www.2dehands.be/l/muziek-en-instrumenten/piano-s/#Language:all-languages|sortBy:PRICE|sortOrder:INCREASING Or here, if you are in the South part: https://www.2ememain.be/l/musique-instruments/pianos/#Language:all-languages|sortBy:PRICE|sortOrder:INCREASING You'll certainly get the same ads on both as it's the same website in the two of the three main Belgian languages.

The US Cirrus were very good basses, but, to me, the Tim Landers models, especially the first generation, were far better basses, I had a few over the years and coud never fault them.

More photos and details here: Conklin GTBD-7 Bill Dickens Signature with Natural Finish https://reverb.com/item/11052050

Scale length of the GTBD-7 is indeed 34 inches @velvetkevorkian, not 35 inches @binky_bass. 😉

Are you working for the ESA?
