Lead it be !

Was about to say that @AndyTravis... And that may explain a lot of things as it's not really a Fender, but more an assembly of not the best pieces Fender had. Looks like a kind of joke and a rush needed endorsement. I had the opportunity to play one thanks to a friend of mine who is a Mark King (almost diehard) fan, but he came to his senses and didn't buy it eventually (maybe because of me telling him it was a real crap bass).

Eventually not such a good idea as lead would protect them against radiations.

I used to own the Nexus Gom Jabbar Magellan Fretless 6. http://www.nexus-guitars.com/old/bmgom-mag.html

Maybe, but are we chain reacting is the question ?

You misread what I wrote, I was talking about the natural over aging of wood or anything organic due to the humidity and temperature, and the danger of the swamps is their fauna. 😉 It's was an affirmation of this :

Monk Montgomery, the first ever electric bass player, used his thumb and was originally a double bass player. James Jamerson used his index only ( aka The Hook) and was also a former double bass player. Carol Kaye, the most recorded artist ever, play with a pick (plectrum) and was a jazz guitar player when she started electric bass. That said Jack Bruce was a graduated classical cellist, not a double bass player. 😉

Ah, the human being quest for eternity...

Indeed Louisiana is already known for this and it's much safer, if you don't go in the swamps...

That is the correct definition as a bolt is an assembly...

I don't know, but it's good for fusion, for sure...

A friend of mine told it to me yesterday when it was announced, couldn't believe it. Now it is totally confirmed. May he rest in peace. https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2021/10/29/in-memoriam-bill-conklin/

Or has a habit of buying bad instruments... Wait a minute, he bought some from me. Erm, erm, Jack is really the most discerning person when it comes to buying excellent instruments. 😇

Following. 😉

Let's split hair : a bolt is in fact a screw with a nut, but a screw is not a bolt as to be a bolt it would need a nut, but it can be a stud if it's screwed to a fixed point like a soldered nut or a threaded hole, for example. And be glad that you don't speak French as we have different words for anything slightly different from another.

Maybe using something like the PJB Ear-Box at ears height and a clip-on mike would help a lot.

This is called free jazz by people who don't know what free jazz is. 🤦‍♂️ 😉

No worries, here's the schematic with the gain trim pot that you can add if you want : https://bartolini.net/docs/ntbt-wiring-diagram/

It's exactly the same warning with Ernie Ball strings containing nickel... I think it's only a way to protect themselves against the typical American habit to sue everyone for nothing.
