Manchester?

Clearly read it and you have to pay for the return of the original question and what time is the next one for me?

Now waiting for the Apostrophe Police.

Found one in Italy @BassAgent : https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_placca-jazz-bass-cablata-replica-62_id7911087.html

You should have stated that you're in the Netherlands. I can make the whole control plate for you, and I'm living in Belgium. 😉

As usual, Amazon U.K. is offering it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/920D-Custom-Upgraded-Concentric-Control/dp/B01GP0NKN2

An easy job done with around £50k of "right tools"... 🤦

By the way @police squad did you get the crossing your arms behind your back and looking at the audience with a loathing face routine right?

With side dots at the usual places (3 5 7 9 12...), so as easy to measure too.

Love that noise!

Just ask a moderator to do it. 😉

Maybe @neilmurraybass himself could tell us more about this bass. Yes, he is a member here. 😉

You can't beat the heaviest rig of all, the Ampeg SVT-VR 300 full tubes amp (39 kg / 85 lbs) plus Ampeg SVT-810 AV cabinet (75 kg / 165 lbs), so 114 kg / 250 lbs... 😳🤪🤦 Had one, terrific sound, heavier than me, one rehearsal, one gig and gone forever as it's a real pain in the derrière to move, but what a sound!

It really depends on what you're looking for and your ability to spend money or not. If you're on a budget, the Harley Benton dirt cheap strings are really good and they come in stainless steel, nickel, round wound, flat wound and with different gauges, so all you need is to pick up the ones you like. If you're looking for THAT Motown sound in tune up to the last fret, but don't want to wait 2 decades for the tone to settle in, buy the DR Strings Legend flat wounds. Or if you prefer a lighter gauge with more mids, try the Thomastik Infeld JF (Jazz Flat...wound). If you want an even more lighter gauge with even more low mids, but not too much bass and more treble, try the ultra expensive Dogal Perfect Pitch Hellborg Flat Wound. For the round wounds, if you're looking for a flat response, try the La Bella Super Steps. If you like a dead precise in tune tone all along the fretboard, with a very light gauge, try the very expensive Dogal Perfect Pitch Hellborg Round Wound. Or simply buy the Ernie Ball Slinky series for your bass as they are simply regular good string and quite cheap. It's all about taste and use.
