Not sure what you mean with the thumb position, @Happy Jack ... Everything looks to be a righty from the start including the strings anchoring and cutaway. I do really like it.

Franck Black or Kim Deal ? 😎 But wasn't it white dust ?

It should be a plug'n'play... It's their original 120V transformer inside. Just hoping it has the same colour code wires or that there's a colour code wires chart coming with it.

Why nobody mentioned this :

I prefer this one from Falco. Took me a while to understand what he was really singing in Austrian German.

I said tend... 😉

@6feet7 is wanting to "dirty up" his sound. This is exactly what Bartolini pickups do : "dirty up" the sound as they are really muddy pickups and through an all valves (tubes for the others) SVT on its dedicated 8x10" you'll get the ultimate swine sound that so many people love. And I've had dozens of basses with Bartolini's... That said, I've always found Delano pickups too polite too. Nordstrand's are gritty, but not dirty. EMG's could get harshy, but not dirty.

Bartolini ! Through an SVT, the absolute swine sound !

He won't even notice it !

Never buy new batteries for your active bass, borrow the new ones in your guitarist's distortion pedal.

I like the process a lot, but, because there's always a but, I find that CNC machined instruments tend to always have sharp angles and designs too. They still do a lot of things by hand at Lignum (literarily firewood in Latin, no kidding, but has become wood by extension) which is very good as only a human brain can correct these perfection, yes perfection, issues. That said, @BassNugget the pickups on this very fretless bass are the Fishman Fluence. 😉 https://www.fishman.com/portfolio/fluence-bass-soapbar/

Vanderkley is better. 😉

Feargal Sharkey and, cough, cough, Alfred Hitchcock !

Indeed. Charles de Gaulle was more on the machine gun side. 😉

Not too far right, I hope...

Phil Lynott. 😊 And Dave Brock, Jamie Cullum, Marcel Dadi, Dimebag Darrell, Fred Durst, Isaac Hayes, John Hiatt, Ralf Hütter, Robert Plant, @Dad3353, ... Without forgetting Emily Brontë and H.P. Lovecraft, who were not musicians, just in case... 😉

Excellent stuff. Their album is also worth mentioning. Thanks @owen

Just read the whole article and now I can't wait to see that new vision of the end of an era that didn't happen the way it's always been told...

Five on the right hand, like everybody ?
