Definitely will be getting this! Looks beautiful!

Also guitars and basses are not a great investment, fa safer and much more profitably investments to be made.

Not it hasn't! In fact quite the opposite. Talking real value.

If you really put your will behind it I believe you can do it!

Can't imagine them sounding good near and above 12th fret on a short scale bass, unless you love a dead thud.

Same, to be honest.

Then that strap probably isn't for you. It's fairly grippy. Most people are interested in the exact opposite, to battle neck dive issues.

I use this: Harley Benton Wide Leather Padded Strap BK Material: Suede With 6 mm memory-foam velvet padding across the strap's entire length Width: 85 mm Length adjustable from 105 to 150 cm https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_wide_leather_padded_strap_bk.htm

No, actually quite reasonably priced: https://newtonestrings.com/shop/custom-string-configurator/

I might be far from the optimal solution from a strictly aesthetical point of view, but if possible it would certainly fix it from a functional/practical point of view: Wouldn't it be possible to remove the current bridge and install an entirely different more regular one, or even mono rail bridge piece, and that way fix the problem?

Do these have a modern flatter, something like 12", fretboard radius as well?

PPAP (Pen Pineapple Apple Pen) - PIKOTARO

Criminally underrated band and album! Their "Forever Changes" album from 1967, which these 3 songs are from, is no less than an absolute masterpiece, fully up there with some of the most iconic albums from that era.

First of all try tying a hair band or similar tight around the neck and strings behind the nut, I am willing to bet that it the issue, despite what you say.

What I do: The cheapest capo Thomann got in their inventory, placed on the neck a bit behind the nut. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbc06_capo_acoustic_electric.htm You might even experience that the individual strings all together rings a bit clearer after you've done this.

Roger Waters's remake of "Money", unfortunately, I'll spare you the link. "Digested shit" (quote from the new version of the song with extended lyrics), right on point Roger, couldn't have said it better myself. He never could sing, but he can't even play bass anymore... I think he is growing senile :

Well, aren't we writing 2024?

You need a tittle like "I reviewed this Spector bass, and you won't believe what happened next...!!!", then a thumbnail with your face showing an idiotic caricatured grimace and an image of the bass in question next to it with several big red arrows pointing at the bass! That's how a YouTube video is done professionally!

Just saw off that whale hump! You can thank me later!

Return to Center - Jacob Læby (now Fjernsind.... Which is me)

I quite like it, kind of reminds me somewhat of a folk version, and obviously not trio, version of Adrian Belew Power Trio, and well, obviously with female vocals. ...Maybe not, guess what I am just trying to say is that it got a great sort of angular jazzy progressive folk vibe going on. But yeah, as somewhat pointed out, great bass play, but horrible tone, almost nothing but fundamentals, a bit more harmonic content, so you didn't have to struggle to hear the bass when not playing the D or G string would have been nice, far from enough to ruin the song though, which still sounds great. A regular violin/beatles bass would have given the same overall vibe, but a better tone, I think. And I for one think she has a great voice, and put it to great use as well. For those who think it sounds like Sound Garden, Alice in Chains or Alanis Morissette.... Just what the !?!... And I think your frame of reference might be the issue here, to get the music. I also don't think it has much in common with Joni Mitchell, beside being jazzy folk (it's kind of like saying Metalica sounds like Slayer).
