We also cover this one, awesome band..

Playing in a funk band this is right up my street, my favourite funk is by Phat Fred, we cover this one, took us a year to get the feel just right......

This would obviously be dependant on the swallow, be It African or European....

Or if you can build a bridge from your bass........

It was a load of bollocks that I just made up, sounded good though 😁

That’s not going to work, that’s just going to give you the volume, not the weight, you would also need density and mass to make the appropriate calculations, and whilst volume by itself would be an interesting area of bass research, it’s not going to help those wishing to lighten the load. You would get better results by incinerating the bass and collecting the resulting gasses in an atomising spectrometer, which would provide accurate measurements of all the bass elements which went into the manufacture. This would then provide the most accurate weight measurement of the guitar. However it may prove difficult to sell afterwards.......

It’s digital ones that I have, take your choice of pounds or Kilos, does a good job.

But obviously not with your wife 😁

I do that with my dog 🐕

Top tip for those struggling with their bathroom scales why trying to get the weight of their bass, bought myself one of those suitcase weighing devices for £5, just wrap the strap around the headstock and lift, job done ✅

Ha, I’ve been ripped off🧐 ive got the black one same as you, it could do with a new pickguard ideally but wouldn’t have a clue where to get one from....

I’ve been looking for a cheap bass to take to the various festivals and some rather dodgy venues my band is booked into over the coming months. If we’re the only band playing and I can see my gear all night I’m quite happy to take good gear, but I have some very nice basses which I don’t really want left in a room full of gear with people coming and going all day. Anyway I was looking to get a squire having heard some good reviews about the Indonesian models however I ended up getting a used Overwater by Tanglewood Classic J for £120. I put some new strings on and took it to practise last night and we were all mighty impressed, some proper bang for your buck with these, very nicely finished and a good punchy sound, very nice indeed. The only criticism I would have is that this is a PJ model and the P pickup is quite a bit louder than the jazz, although it’s probably a set up issue which I can easily sort. amazed at what you can pick up for £120

personally I like more of a curve than less, I’m not too fussy about it but do find flatter boards a little more difficult to play.

Can’t tell from the advert, you’d want to have a look under that pickguard, neck and pickup cavities, and the pickup / pot codes, if they are correct then no reason to think it’s not genuine.

Yes I’ve used one of those but find the volto holds a charge better, I can also charge the volto with a mobile phone charger whilst using it ..

This baby is for sale in my local music shop, it was owned by the bassist from the Shadows, it’s a 1976 Mocha jazz bass, although they have rather wisely decided not to include any photos of the body, just this one shot of the headstock, probably a wise decision ?

Just got myself a volto 2, stuck under my pedal board it powered all my pedals for 4 hours on Friday night with charge to spare at the end of the night. I use Lije 6 G50, programmable bass driver and a korg pitch black, not the biggest board in the world but this is really useful, I picked one up off eBay pretty cheap.

Another week, another gig, and these babies are still my favourite flat string. I really like the string gauge too, the D and G are slightly thinner than the Chromes, excellent strings.

Used to have a Redhead, one of the best sounding amp ever, however it was heavy and a little under powered!
