Yes electrically identical but as HZ says there may be practical advantages.

Some of these are literally factory qc fails. In China nothing goes in the skip if someone is willing to buy it.

I appear to have gone twice in the 1980s. The bands were largely irrelevant, but I enjoyed the mediaval fair atmosphere. I don't actually remember much else...

Those look electrically identical.

Is it like Telecaster guitars? On the wonk by design? Look carefully... control plate not quite parallel to the bridge plate.

Not the prime consideration. I have a 5 string 35" bass that cost £200 and a 4 string 34" that cost £2000.

Sounds like Another Madchen Another Planet meets 2,4,6,8 Autobahn.

With Jerry Allson's mythic symbol on the skin too... 😉

Why doesn't DOGE start cutting US armed forces in Europe; they now have no function. Presumably the main driver vehind Trumps push for more European defence spending is US arms exports. If he can learn from history it's that lend-lease was very lucrative for the US.

I bought a tuner for £15. It wasn't essential but I need a reliable tuner and lead in each bass case.

If you sell 2,000 items a year, bug and small, thats £10,000 of income but probably far less than the cost of actually sending things out.

It can be costly, but this search should turn up something near you: https://www.google.com/search?q=3d scanning services

Welcome to Basschat. It's unlikely you will find anything detailed enough. You best bet is probably to get one 3D scanned.

I've got three very, very nice Fender basses. Last week split a gig between Sire P10 and Fender AVII. Today I just gigged the Sire.

"£10 cheaper than Amazon" means a lot to all of us! 😁

Was hoping for a good gig today, my and the singer's home town and a fair few people had said they were coming. A 5:15 sunday gig. We used the venue pa but the desk does auto setup with white noise so we had a good sound (4 vocals plus drums) restof us backline only. Had a decent soundcheck. Hadn't played a gig since start of December, just two rehearsals with just four of us. Place was rammed, which was great considering we've only played Barry once before. We made a handful of cock ups but recovered well. Went down a storm, the bucket added over 50% to our fee. Plenty of dancing(!) Lots of compliments especially for the sound and our singer's voice, also loads of great feedback on our setlist. Playing songs we love seems to work. Screenshot from a facebook live...

I seems logical that Elon can save the USA a great deal bg sacking all the US forces in Europe...

Glad it was good. The round trip from south wales didn't appeal last night...

Because that isnt how I hear it, I suppose. Once you learn something itxs harder to unlearn.

I wimped out.

It is an odd one. I have a similar issue with Apocalypse in 9/8. I can only do it by counting the accents as: one two three FOUR one two THREE one TWO But technically it's: one two THREE one TWO one two three FOUR So my mental 'bar line' is in the wrong place.

I once shared a house with two, unrelated, people with the asme first and middle names and the initials APB. I read a book at the time, and one character was a baby called 'All Points Bulletin' or APB for short.

Or 'The Party Seven'
