Our guitarist has the solo bang on, so it's possible to know where you are from it!

We're dropping the second solo, it's just drags it out too long though.

It’s a great tune, and I remember the video , 1983 🙂

Aside from having to count 19 (why?) bars over the solo... 🙂

I don’t normally play this but I quite like ZZ top,   I didn’t count, I just got with the rhythm 🙂

In the OP the song examples given feature NO BASS!

No Bass 😧, what kinda song is that!   😁

I’m sure someone will be along soon to advise on the electronics, there’s some pretty knowledgeable people here 🙂

I always wear a strap while I’m sitting practicing which is set at the same length as when I’m standing, so really my playing position stays the same, also a while ago I picked up my Sandberg without the strap and it slipped off my tracksuit bottoms and broke the jack plug on the lead , luckily the bass didn’t have a mark on it, so now I always remember wear it 🙂

Gimme all your lovin , and, Sharp dressed man - ZZ  Top 

btw , great thread MacDaddy☝️

It’s a nice bass and I could live without the headstock decal , but removing the ramp will definitely leave noticeable holes in the body, which for me would be a no. I would wait for the right one that you’re happy with 🙂

I can’t say I’ve ever seen one of those before, but that’s one really nice bass , I like the control layout too 🙂

Cheers man. I'd love to play some radical roots through this set up.

Indeed.
A "2M Baby Foam Corner Guard Safety Protect Table Edge Bumper Cushion Strip Useful", in situations like this,  is always useful. 😉

Always 😉😂

Tres Bon , such a cool amp , congrats on getting it back  ☝️

Nice job @DoubleOhStephan , just a suggestion, you could put something like this on the bottom rails to protect the basses 🙂https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F352791951255

Really nice playing  here from Danny Morris , the flats on his bass are over 15 years old and his muting , timing , and playing just behind the beat in places is superb .

Nah.

 

That’s a nice groove 👍

Good video here of ziggy Marley in New Orleans, one of my favourite Marley basslines 🙂

If Robbie Shakespeare wasn’t available, it would be my dream to play any Black Uhuru song, with sly Dunbar, who in my opinion is the best reggae drummer ever, the headline would read ,  Sly & Tony 😀

I will never have enough kidneys to thank @Teebs... 

I might have guessed he had something to do with it 😁

So do I. 😊

I noticed it a few minutes ago Hellzero, it’s great 👍

I can’t help liking this, I’ve met Tyber and his brother Si many times, they are really nice guys , Tyber  fronts the band now .

99/00 MIM Jazz, it's had some work done on it.

Love that fretboard ☝️

I quite like some of cover solutions videos, and this popped up , so I gave it a go, I was fine until 5.09 , then I struggled, I think I need more practice 😁. 

Hi tom , what’s the nut width , cheers 🙂
