I see Fender are celebrating 75 years by reissuing all the usual suspects, again.

Yep: Rock/Fender/ Hard Place. It’s difficult for them, but they need to stick with a new design, it’ll be slow to begin with, but they’ll get there. I wonder what we’d be playing now if Leo & Co hadn’t ground it out in the early days (it couldn’t have been easy)? They should’ve tried harder with the Dimension bass, with some high profile ‘name player’ endorsements. I can only think of Yolanda Charles playing one.

Indeed. Leo's impact to musical instrument design has always fascinated me - he wasn't a player himself, yet I don't think any other individual has contributed so much. Both with things he designed directly, and the influence on others' designs.
The situation today kind of reminds of of the Ford statement "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”
We need a modern day Leo!

I really like this thread for the way it has highlighted the ‘different strokes for different folks’ adage and why there are so many different types of basses out there. The last 5 posts alone are cases in point.

Had them on my Ibanez GWB35 and they are standard on some makes.

I remember reading somewhere to avoid anything with silicone in it. I have a small bottle ‘guitar polish’ that came with some Fender case candy over 10 years ago. I still have it somewhere, lasts for ages.

Nice, understated configuration; good choices made there. 12 weeks would normally fly by, these days maybe not so much. It’ll be worth the patience in the end.

Loved that shop, really nice guys. I tried my first Wal there IIRC.

I can't understand why this thread hasn't been locked, doesn't it go against the site's ethos?

Picks bass up, plays two notes, ‘assistant’ asks, “How’re you getting along with that?” 😤

Which drummer you would like to have played with?
ezbass replied to Bassman Sam's topic in General Discussion
Manu Katché, Stewart Copeland, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd, Tom Brectlein. Probably in that order too. However, I’ve had the privilege to work with a drummer for the last decade or so, who we refer to as Mr Clock. On top of which, he is more than capable of channeling the aforementioned names rather nicely. Undoubtedly, made me a better bass player.
