That looks stylistically like our own AndyJR1515's work, @Andyjr1515 for confirmation

my mistake thanks for the correction, I always get F bass and Fedora confused

It's a Fedora, think it's a custom jobbie, through-neck active PJ

A short video from Ed Friedland aka the bass whisperer popped up on my YouTube feed this morning telling us he's going to be posting again after a gap of a few years and will be contributing to the new BassMagazine.com online you guessed it which appears to be the US staff from Bass Player set up on their own away from the corporate magazine world doing what they always did. No idea yet what a sub will cost as that page is still under construction but there's some articles posted to get you interested in what is to come. SylviaBluejay will probably know more

Bought some pickups from Paul, great comms and next day delivery, many thanks

There is a bass with a removable neck for travel, they also do guitars, but they are expensive and rarely available from the uk distributor http://www.macaris.co.uk/ob-660-bass/p/p736 in theory sounds like a good idea but how you could make one without modifying the bassic (sic) instrument I can't see and so would only really be applicable to basses so cheap you don't mind modifying sugnificantly

same nut ?

Ibanez have a new 32" bass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdDXOVue_M0 sorry I don't know how to do embed video on here (and the other forums I am on don't do it at all)

it shouldn't be difficult especially on a bass with a flat neck where the radius is only on the fingerboard - judicious heat to soften the glue holding the old fingerboard on is usually required, plenty of vids on youtube showing it being done, but if it's a fender bolt on neck why not just buy a ebony fretless neck and swap it over surely that is easiest

The guitar one was the best in my humble opinion, and the bass one the weakest but they all taught me something I didn't know and exposed or rexposed me to stuff I didn't know or had forgotten about, and makes a change from Mrs Browns boys and all the other shiiiite on the box that most people seem to think of as entertainment now back to youtube for some music

Marcoelwray on here is a affiliated dealer I believe

Got a white Squier P bass body in basswood in good condition that I'll be selling soon, 2015 ICS build Chris Aiken 😉

Take a trip to the Bass Centre and try a bunch of basses out there's a great range of new and preloved to try, would be aday well spent I'd think. Bass Gallery too I guess. Good luck with the search

Mine says expected 15th February

I have these on my Jake and on my Jazz, I really like them but I am a learner. I tried TIs on another bass and I prefer the Maruszczyks as less fret clang than the TIs but that could be because the other bass is active and could be amplifying it and my technique is improving but the TIs are brighter I think; if you are passing call in and try them. Good value too. Supposed to be made in Europe but by who I don't know and the internet doesn't seem to know either

How did you get on with the insurance, were the instruments covered ?

plugging in makes the active electronics live same with pedals as they use a three pin socket and route the electrics earth connection through the plug so always unplug when not using; also saves from accidental damage if cable gets pulled/tripped over etc..

not all VM are equal, is yours a ICS or IC serial number ? naughty boy not doing the washing up when cooked for, you won't get invited to tea again

Aidan63 bassbash virgin will bring Jake4L, UbassSub, Fretless TanglewoodUkeBass, PJB double4 and MIM Jazz modified as I'd like to hear them played by good players and hear what they can sound like in competent hands

My 20114 VM77 had a nice body and the pickup rout for the neck pickup wasn't too much oversize, better than a MIM which has a big fixture hole and cable rout hope the tea was nice and once you've done the washing up get the screwdriver out
