🤞 Let us know how it pans out, but only when you feel up to it.

Screw it! Get a Stingray 🤣

No issues with mine at all. Sounds like a rogue, or damaged in transit.

As I was in B&Q today, I bought one of these today to give it a go as it’s significantly cheaper than chips. After a bit of fettling with a file and a pair of mole grips, it’s the perfect tool at a bargain price. Thanks for the heads up @mcnach.

Still has the testicular threatening gear shift though. He always seemed to be a bitter man afterwards. Carole Kaye was cool before she became a the ‘I know all, I played on everything’ harridan. For me, the man in the first post of this thread is the epitome of cool, then and now. Full disclosure - TL fanboy here.

OK, not a bass player (AFAIK), but...

If this had come up 6 months ago when I was living about 20 minutes from Horley, I would have been all over this, pretty pronto. However, I’m now 530 miles away.

^^^ this. Enjoy the new beast, but don’t forget to share.

Best of luck, Nik. I’m in a similar position with having to start over in a new location. We moved to Perthshire last December and have only just moved into our house. I keep getting, “Have you joined any new bands?” from some friends who seem to have forgotten that we’ve been in various stages of lockdown for over a year. It does seem very daunting.

This was always my experience with that branch, a really nice bunch of folks.

Slave to the Rhythm - G Jones

Pump It Up - EC & The Attractions

Korma Chameleon - Culture Club

The smart move is to buy one from Bass Direct (actually a better bet, post B word) then any issues are their problem. FWIW I’ve not had a day’s issue with my two custom Elwoods and my off the peg Jake (now sold) was equally fault free.

I saw him at The Hammersmith Odeon in the ‘70s. I was a loud, energetic gig, unfortunately spoiled by a crap mix, where the bass bins in the PA actually made me feel nauseated. Still glad I was there though.

I have drill envy alongside skill envy.
