I would have thought the natural habit of any bass is turn up and get a plectrum out, it’s is in my household. Sounds like at some point I should probably get a Ric....

One thing to consider is in that price range you can pick up second hand full fat Sandbergs. Unapologetcially Sandberg hands down for me, not saying the others are poo, but the whole package customer service etc. even if second hand or ‘budget’ range hammers everyone else @CameronJ will confirm that. Scheter recently have really upped their game and pumped a load of money into their R&D. You want to hear a schecter PJ in action, go listen to Robert DeLeo from Stone Temple Pilots. A bit from leftfield but don’t rule out ESP

Ha! Apparently they got the idea at the previous NAMM where they unveiled their Plus sustainer pedal. Sat around watching flies getting electrocuted by that blue lamp thingy they thought, “Hmmm, I wonder if I can harness that energy and turn it into a mad science distortion pedal!”

That’s brilliant, but my gosh I would get completely lost as to where i am, massive credit to him and the size of his stack for a living room gig!

Unless it’s urgent and imminent get along to one of the bass bashes advertised on here. People bring their amps to happily try, and can have great discussions. If you know what you like, then some amps use similar things/components such as fender tone stacks. Although you may not play the exact amp you want, certainly something similar will give a flavour. Problem with online stuff is you only get a snapshot, twiddle time is king -
This is a wildly rogue rogue and crass statement. Some of the very best musicians are sessions players, and a massive proportion of the musicians playing in ‘top’ bands have come from a session music background, and probably still do session work. The argument for split coil/single coil/humbucker/active or passive for sessions can rage on (in truth most will have all in their arsenal) but it should be conflated by denegrating a session player.

But Pino was Welsh - surely we should have some discount...

You’ll get a tonne of opinions on this from someone’s personal nirvana, to their utter hatred and your view will be different! It’s just going to be hard yards of trawling sound bites across ranges and then take time to play in the flesh. Best and only way, or buy new and if you don’t like return in the policy period. -
Easy to fit, easy to use, minimal weight excess, keeps either tuning rock solid, you can set it to drop what you want, semi tone, tone etc. You can even get a double stop lever to drop it 2 tones. Nice bit of kit

Singular sound beat buddy

Sure it plays beautifully, but I agree it’s a little steep. Having seen the care and attention Sandberg put into their bases, especially their masterpiece bases (let’s put finish aside). I would say £2-3k is a decent price and they play magnificently.

@Wolverinebass now now, don’t be rash, we can always squeeze one more in.... -
Nords - almost universal except the Cuzzie household, where they would be stored somewhere beneath my skiddy pants. A lot to be said about basses across the range just like cars from a supermini through to performance/family wagons, or sticking to a couple of high class /niche models like Tesla or in this case Ricks. Bassist from Clutch has one, saw/heard it live - sounded pretty darn good and Glenn Hughes pops his out every now and again. I have always been sort of attracted and sort of not by them, and of course in my formative years may have been swayed by wafts and waves of opinions, but you know what, played one, bloody good bass and bloody good fun, and makes total sense if you are running some form or bite to your signal, thumbs up to it whether the owner is a bell End or not. Not enough to sway me from my current lot, but very good
