  1. Does it weigh a ton like the Gibson version?
  2. When I was playing serious gigs of a reasonable duration I always had a fretless bass for a few numbers and by default a backup should something happen to the fretted, but it never did!
  3. I think one of the issues when switching from 4 to 5 is the string spacing at the bridge end. If your used to Fender style basses with 19mm spacing you may find some 5 s with narrower spacing ( I believe Ibanez have 16 mm) a bit off putting to start with especially if you are swapping between a 4 & a 5 regularly. On the other hand 5 string all wider spaced is quite a handful. My Gibson 5 has 19 mm which I like but then I play finger style. I’d find using a pick on that spacing challenging. if you can find a 2nd hand Spector Legend they are great.
  4. I really can’t see the point of it.
  5. The strings will get in the way when you pass the salt or wine.
  6. Mack the knife - Bobby Darin (and dozens of others)
  7. I cant stop loving you - Ray Charles
  8. I’ve only ever seen one. It was in a shop in Denmark St and I knew someone who wanted one, so I told him about it and he went and bought it. I’m not in touch anymore so I wonder if he kept it. 🥴
  9. You don’t see many which probably explains the price. The original Les Paul Signature bass which was the model for the Jack Casady bass. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326160300823?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0gvE614OS52&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=_-qNzvFMRiS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  10. I agree with @AndyTravis the neck depth is unusually chunky on JCs.
  11. Good golly miss molly - Little Richard
  12. Having never had a mustang I am surprised that the tiny little pickup seems to perform as well as the Precision type with its exposed poles.
  13. I think the idea that semis are lighter is an illusion. My Peerless Bassmaster (identical to the JC by the original makers) weighs the same as my Precision. I used to own a ‘66 Gibson EB2 and that was over 9lb. I think this is because the bodies are wider and there’s probably just as much wood in them. Many, but not the JC, have a centre block to cut feedback.
  14. I don’t wish to deprive a U.K. retailer of a sale but don’t Thomman carry Sires? As you’re in Europe then there are no import problems between countries and I believe they will dispatch to Portugal .
  15. The lion sleeps tonight - the Tokens
  16. That’s looking real good. Glad you found a decent logo.
  17. Paper airplane - Alison Krauss & Union Station
  18. Wow, that’s a bit different. Makes my NS NXT look like a stick with strings on.
  19. I agree with @BassAdder60 I to have embraced the lonesome spot that is Guitarchat. Is there anybody out there (ghostly noises off!).
  20. Gravity - Idina Menzel (And others in Wicked)
  21. The wind cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix Experience
  22. Now those are really awful!
  23. I thought that was a chord chart for the guitarist 🤣
