There's an advert for a Dirnt P atm which was bought from Gareth – no longer of this parish – who sold many basses. I'm having problems accessing that previous sales thread. They appear in Google search results, but the link then doesn't work. Are those threads now gone for good? If so, I'll stop trying to find them when wondering about weights, which he always noted.

I love the Model P in my Squier, but tbh its never occurred to me to think that it's giving me a "vintage" sound, I bought it to do quite the opposite (sound like an Ibanez Blazer)

The conclusion of a similar discussion on TB was that Yamaha seem to refresh their various lines once every 7 years. So a couple of years to go.

The sweet sound of musicians trying silence other musicians. Someone tell Tikhon Khrennikov his principles are alive and well.

Just been watching a clip of Adam Lambert at the recent regal nonsense, and was wondering how much better it would have been if he had had an iPad in front of him

Really glad you tried them and that they are indeed just right for you They're a nice price too.

The degree of sustain in a note, the rate at which it is losing volume, is present from the moment it starts. A series of short notes played on an instrument with long sustain is audibly different to the same series of notes played on one with short sustain.

She'll be looking better, by virtue of not being dead

His left foot is entrancing, too

One benefit of the minimal instrumentation is that there's plenty of space for a bassist to entertain themselves by playing along. Happy days.

I can't remember the last time I heard "unprofessional" deployed as an insult by someone who didn't deserve it themselves.

Note to self: always keep a set of old strings to hand to pop onto your bass if it needs to go into a workshop for physical repairs — this new set of Pro Steels skipped from box fresh to de-zinged while away. Fortunately these are the one strings I prefer broken in

So, yeah, I'm glad I clicked on this, blimey ½ million views in a month, I'm not surprised

At the moment I've got a 110 Pro Steel on one bass and a 105 Roto Bass on the other, and surprisingly the 105 Roto Bass is more convincing dropped down to D. The Pro Steel is good enough on the bottom 5 frets, but then loses focus. I'm wondering what the 110 Roto Bass would be like.

You're still wanting it, as a sellable asset not as something to play.

The concept of a trade value is nonsense anyway, the whole point of a trade is that something you don't want goes to someone who does want it, and something they don't want but you do comes to you. There are four independent values going on here, and anyone who thinks that the complexity of the situation is helped by shoving on a pair of trade values [REDACTED]

Very disappointed that none of the grumpy pedants of BassChat have grasped the opportunity to point out that standard long scale is 34 inches not 34 feet.

6 pages of a dozen basses each.

Amongst plenty of musicians this is not remotely an unpopular opinion, but straightforward Gospel truth. After Beethoven and then Mozart, it's now Bachs turn with the title of greatest ever composer, taking dictation from on high blah blah blah.

Nothing to do with the sound it makes, everything to do with the Tolkeinesque effect on its owner's fate

The music of Conlon Nancarrow for player piano works well too

So.... Mon morning: email contact Wed morning: dropped off Thu teatime, an email saying .... I've dowelled the existing hole, redrilled and refitted the button for you and its all secure again for you. Total for the repair is:- £25 .... and I've arranged to pick it up now, Friday morning. Quickly done. Phil met me, nice smiles. This all done socially distanced so I won't have a chance to inspect until I get it home.
