    My JMJ is actually heavier than all my longer scale basses. However, they are particularly light, 3 of them being chambered. But the Mustang is still a tad heavier than my Squier P bass. With all that said, the perceived weight of the Mustang feels less, due to the balance.

    My shorty moment was swing David Byrne and his American Utopia band on Saturday Night Live. The bear player has some sort of Horner for one song, which was nice, but when he played a 5 string Serek for the next song, I was hooked and down the rabbit hole. After trying a number of basses the JMJ was the obvious choice at the time and it’s my number one these days, in no short part to the BL in current band loving it above all the others I’ve played with them.

    I wish I'd discovered the joys of Shorties earlier, my collection would be shorter across the board.

    The ‘Ray is scaled down certainly. I’ve not seen or used a Lionel but, if the pictures are anything to go by, they are smaller than the full sized versions too.

    Great to see Kenny Pasarelli mentioned, I only know him through his work with Joe Walsh, but a name that has stuck in my consciousness. Murray & Johnstone, what a combo, add in Nigel Olsson and that's the backing band from heaven. What a player Dee was. Singers is a good addition to the conversation, Paul Rogers is right up there for me together with Paul Young (who cites Rogers as an influence). In terms of the way I actually sing, I'm influenced by all those, slightly warbly, baritones: Ferry, Sylvian, David Byrne, Richard Thompson, etc.

    You have been on BC long enough to know that that is not how it works. Today’s lack of GAS is tomorrow’s spending spree.

    This started out as a bit of fun and, as I went out so early last year, I didn’t give it much thought. The last couple of months have been weird, I don’t need anything, but forcing myself to not buy anything has made my teeth itch 😬! However, it has allowed me to focus on what I would like to acquire next, without disappearing down a, spur of the moment, rabbit hole. Will I sign up next year? Err, that would be a hard pass . Just… two… weeks… more .

    The amount of time I spend on here weighed against the cost of being a supporting member makes it probably the most cost efficient thing I do. Think of all those pages of unread posts you can wade through when you return . Have a good break, @ped.
