    I made another year sans nouveau basses (I don’t know why I’ve gone all French). I hope to not repeat the performance for 2026.

    The very reason I learnt to tie my own bow tie, although not Daniel Craig necessarily (I learnt way before Casino Royale).

    I think it’s a Musicmaster with that bridge and control plate.

    What is this might? Intriguing 🤔

    This could be a theme for the photo competition.

    The smaller ‘head’ section has 2 up-firing speakers, which seemed to help with on stage monitoring. That said, when stacked, it’s not exactly very tall, so I suspect that there’s some floor coupling going on too, with this arrangement.

    Mmm, a Waluszyczk.

    Yep, my JMJ is my heaviest bass, which is odd given it’s the smallest. Lightweight tuners definitely make a difference (certainly more than the just the numbers suggest). My love affair with the JMJ may now be over, after nearly 5 years. I’ve gone back to my 33” scale, customs. Will probably move it on.

    A signature sound? No. However, a sound that I’m currently really happy with and can’t see a reason to change is my passive, MM type pickup, fretless bass, into a Sadowsky SBP2 preamp, then into an MXR M87 comp (Dr Pepper type setting), then into a Tech21 VTDI which adds some grit and high end sizzle. These are on all the time and I ride the tone control (0.1uf) for smooth or a bit more aggressive tones (I’ll also use a pick for more attack when required). This seems to work with the 3 different amps I’ve used the set up with (EQ set flattish). My own rig is a Phil Jones Flightcase into a powered PJ cab.

    Thank you. It is my original, Maruszczyk, custom build (33" scale, passive). It fell out of favour for about the last 3 or 4 years, as I was not digging fretless (except upright) at all, especially that MM fretless tone. However, I took it to rehearsal as I was feeling a bit sorry for it and, in a band mix, with some drive, it sounded awesome, bordering on Ric like. Since then I've used nothing else live. It's the easiest neck to play of all my basses and with the drive always on, I just ride the tone control for different tunes for everything from reggae and Motown, to full on The Jam, treble heavy, aggressive tones. I'm (currently) a very happy bass player.

    Ah ha, it was you who suggested the side by side set up. You, Sir, are a genius! It worked a treat!
