I played a 5 for about a year to see what it was all about and still do very occasionally if a certain Bassline has any lower notes ,but that’s rare, so 2 reasons for me, I can do everything I want on a 4 and I play vintage basses which only have 4
Great video here of Third World and dancing on the floor, a classic track that I remember well, pretty sure it’s Richard Daley on bass But I don’t recall seeing that bass , any idea what it is, looks like it’s got 2 precision pickups

B neck width
8 - year
01 - month so January
16 is the batch or lot number

Hi Si, I don’t know much about squier but I had my nephews P bass neck in my workshop which wouldn’t adjust and out of curiosity I took the fingerboard off, like stub said maybe try and get the nut out, I’d say it might be a bit tricky, here’s a few pics that might be of use so you can see what it’s like if yours is similar
That’s cool, recently I heard a song I liked and it was by them, so I went down a bit of a rabbit hole listening to a lot of their tunes and reading up on Laura Lee who it says was influenced by reggae and dub , she gets a great sound from her SX jazz and plays some nice Basslines
Nice one TRB, hope he sticks with it and goes far, my boys like the bass but they are not interested in playing it, one wants to play steel drums,
great picture
I think I’ve watched most videos of him on YouTube now, I can’t say I like all the music but I find watching him play and listening what he has to say really interesting, his playing style and technique is amazing
Oh no, this is so sad, I used to chat with Dave quite a bit by PM and we would send each other strings and all kinds of various stuff , truly a generous and thoughtful guy, I’m gutted 😞 , condolences to the family
I’m not too bad on a C neck, my AV62 P has one but I definitely find the B width more comfortable, which always gives me a dilemma when a nice 60s one comes up for sale, I think it’s because I’ve played jazzes for years
I did see that and it looks pretty cool, if I was closer I’d have a look, ii did notice the frets and it says it’s been re fretted, are they worn or just need a re dress
