Stub Mandrel

IMHO a flat fretboard always looks concave.

Must admit, playing Day Tripper at the 12th fret is a darn site easier with the bass hiked up...

It may be heresy, but I have more than a sneaking suspicion that precisions have gone right out of fashion when no-one was looking. Currently the Jazz reigns, and diversity is the watchword in bassland. The only certainty is change...

"Powered By Lemmy"

I think we encourage M.C. Escher to commission a build...

Well it makes weird noises, but is there anything practical I can do with it?

You can use any 8 ohm cabinet rated for ~ 150Watts plus. The choice of cabinet will affect the tone, a matching Markbass cabinet is likely to have the smallest change in tone.

Presumably they'd have to make a decision for themselves, but I'm sure that's unlikely.

When my farmers strike, this is the only stool softener I need:

It isn't persistent. Unlike the damn tree-pollen sniffle I get every March...

Common sense suggests they won't make an announcement until they are forced to close by a ban on gatherings, so they aren't liable to pay for the venue hire.

Swine! You beat me to it...

You wound your own PUPs didn't you? Did you make sure the magnets in each PUP were opposite polarity? One north up, one north down? Check they are as it is part of the humbucking effect.

>cough<

I'll have you know there's only ONE Big Stubby 'round here.

That's the way all mine went back in the days when I 'played' guitar.

No bass, no Bootsy, in sight but still epic!

They will come together when we have to resort to Izal Medicated, it's rough as a badger's.

Its a Squier Standard, but I just realised I measured without taking the bridge cover off so it probably is 19mm... Sorry! No I mean the Fender Performer from 1987. I haven't got it handy to measure, but I do know it's 53mm at the 20th fret compared to 63mm for a jazz, so 10mm less neck(!) there could mean it's even less than 3x3mm less at the bridge (scaling from a photo suggests 15mm but I'm not 100% sure). Possibly the skinniest-necked bass ever made by a major manufacturer?

You should try my Fender performer IIRC it's about 16mm. A standard Jazz is 18mm.

I hope he's not wearing inauthentic rip-offs of Converse trainers there...

Yep! Just cut and paste it - and put your name in at number 5! That gap is winding me up like no business!

NO! I can't believe you sold a sparkly one!
