    Brilliant, many thanks for that. I think I may have sussed the wiring conundrum too. Looks like it’s time to invest in some new tools and get started.

    I thought so. I was surprised to find that that was an Ibanez bass, listening to Missing Persons I immediately thought it was a Wal (still could be of course) but this sounds much the same to my cloth ears.

    I’m pretty sure that this is the MM hard up against the bottom edge of the P pickup (which I’ll remove). Turns out that I have an MM style pickup spare (Bassculture), if I can work/find out the wiring on this, that’s a few bob saved.

    Earlier in this thread there was talk of slapping on fretless. Whilst listening to a live version of Go West’s Missing Persons, I went down a Graham Edwards rabbit hole and found this…

    My current ‘Ray GAS is leading me down this route. In general, ‘Rays are generally too heavy for me and the ones that aren’t are £3k-ish 😱. I have a Squier 40th anniversary P that has a neck I like, is lightweight and balances well, which I picked up from Thomann on the cheap deals they were doing on this model, some time back. Time to invest in a Dremel (other small handheld tools are available) with a router attachment methinks; how hard can it be? 😬

    The ‘big rig’ hiding behind my bass at my last gig.

    I started with a Cub (2x5) as a practise tool, then added the PB300, powered cab and gigged that a lot. I then replaced the Cub with a Bass Buddy for an even smaller rig, which also did the job fine, but I finally ended up with a Flightcase (4x5) on top of the PB300 as I liked the idea of having a more powerful head for when I don’t need the ‘big rig’. Every version of my PJ setups have never failed to deliver, whether using a 5 stringer or an octave box, there’s plenty of clear, low end. For complete transparency, in case you haven’t guessed already, I’m a Phil Jones fanboy, but with good reason.

    There’s a bunch of Harley Bentons in different designs for your budget. The Mustang alikes are good, especially since the switch upgrade. The J pickup is not as powerful as the P (not unusual in budget basses of any make), but the whole thing makes for a good upgrade chassis (an EMG GZR set would be perfect). https://www.thomann.co.uk/short_scale_basses.html?manufacturer[]=Harley Benton&gk=GIEBSC&sp=solr_b&cme=true&filter=true

    From the EB website: Pino Palladino Signature Smoothie Flats Bass Strings are engineered for a smooth, effortless playing experience. Precision-polished for an ultra-smooth feel, these premium flatwound strings glide easily under your fingers. Wound with a cobalt alloy ribbon, they deliver a deep, rich tone that perfectly blends vintage warmth with modern flexibility. I think means that they are the same wrap construction as the normal Cobalts, as the description of these reads: Featuring a SuperBright Cobalt ribbon wrap, Cobalt underwraps and optimal hex-core to wrap ratio, Although no mention of the under wrap on the PP set.

    If you own a double bass you are already deemed as ready by others.

    Lady Ez and me don’t do Christmas presents any more so the first 2 questions are moot. So then we’re into the money no object question. A decent double bass is always going to be in there and I’ve recently developed ’Ray type GAS. However, given my weight requirements it would have to be chambered, which means a custom build and if that’s the requirement, it would also be medium scale and probably passive. That said, Sadowsky do a MM pickup only that comes in at my weight requirements, so that would be an option too.

    That SS ‘Ray looks so good.
