That’s like saying no one should have a graphic or parametric pedal, or indeed an active EQ bass, they should buy the right amp for that bass/basses. I don’t need, or want, a different amp, I like what mine does and if I want to enhance it to my tastes, then that’s my choice, plus I’ve had it longer than all my current basses and I wasn’t going to buy a new amp with every new bass I’ve acquired over the years. YMMV of course and you’re free to buy as many amps you think are right for your basses.

She’s popped up on my YT feed a fair bit recently. Great player, who, to my ears, has a real Vinnie Colaiuta vibe to her technique and sound. She’s also played with Jeff Beck and Lari Basilio, both of whom have used Vinnie in the past, so perhaps it’s not just me. It’ll be interesting to hear what she brings to the table with Rush, outside of those essential, Peart fills. I reckon it’ll be great.

Depends on the EQ notches of your amp. My SBP2 does something that neither my amp or VTDI do. Plus there’s the buffering element.

The pickups on my Maruszczyk J type are Delano JSBC 4 HE/M2 (catchy name), split coil humbuckers and the neck pickup sounds just like my P Bass.

I use a Sadowsky SBP2 for much the same reason/effect.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

I only know them because folk have mentioned them here, I certainly have no experience of them. However, aren’t a lot of, let’s say ordinary (I can’t think of a better word), bolt on neck basses basically bitsas? -

I reckon a TRB 5 or 6 string with everything downsized would be a winner. -

I’m not an expert on Retrovibe gear, but it seems to receive a fair amount of love on BC. All I know is that he orders the parts (I assume from a Chinese source, but I could be wrong), assembles and fettles them to his spec and sells the product on. If the Ric-ish ones weren’t single cut, I’d be all over them. -

I love that Viv has gone down this route. Rob Allen has something similar (long scale) but really, really expensive ($5.5k at least + import duties)*. This isn’t cheap of course, but it is boutique and that’s always pricey. I’d love one of these, I mean, just look at it 😍.I reckon 32” is probably spot on for me. *https://www.roballenguitars.com/solid-4-gallery -

Yeah, I read that somewhere too. It wasn’t just the pickup that was on the squint, the entire chrome assembly was pissed. Didn’t notwithstanding immediately, but once I was aware of it, I couldn’t unsee it.

My 4003s had a wonky bridge pickup (both pickup and surround) and the nut was like it had been finished by a blind man. QC very much not the watchword at Hall Towers.

I’m concerned that @NancyJohnson’s storage solution might the wood burner . However, needs must 🔥.

Wow! That’s has to be a good feeling. I wonder if said bassist is on here at all?

One gets the feeling that popular music doesn’t mean as much these days as it once did, when we were younger. It’s more of a background thing that accompanies something else you’re doing. However, that’s viewing it from a musician’s point of view and, perhaps, it was ever thus and we’re not seeing it from the right perspective. Lady Ez, for instance, likes music certainly, but can rarely, if ever, recall the lyrics to a song or hum the tune. She is not a muso and is probably subjected to more music than she would if I didn’t play or was an enthusiast.
