    Hejira is equally good, in fact probably better, I guess I was thinking about Jaco as a live/gigging ensemble player when I posted. He plays some sublime parts in the live show, but he also on occasion, doesn't 🤔
  2. Beedster
    I always saw that gig as the end of Jaco's golden era, there were signs even during it that things were sliding 😞
  3. Beedster
    Jaco at his best 👍

    OMFG that is an AMAZING site, how is it I've never come across it? Just listened to a few (sadly including comparing my Evahs to the Eudoxas and finding that I LOVE the Eudoxas) and the consistency of his playing is impressive to say the last. Thanks for posting @Kevsy71 👍

    Apologies, still trying to locate the rather lovely brass thumb-rest, will post pics ASAP

    It takes a standard Fender neck heel better than most 70's Fender bodies

    I get the feeling that’s a rather nice instrument 👍
  8. Beedster
    V1 I think and yes, the Acme works very nicely with it 👍

    I’ll have them if it falls through @Mickeyboro

    Yes, pretty much it (or @Clarky previous suggestion which might also be a good approach) Funnily enough, responding to this thread this morning reminded me that I bought a VERY expensive set of strings in a moment of clarity/madness (delete as appropriate) a while back, only to find that the far cheaper set on the bass in question did the job as well as I could hope. I've been deliberating about installing them but was starting to worry they might not be much of an improvement. They're now in the 'Double Basses For Sale forum

    Long story but I bought these when I bought my Pfreftzchner Ali bass, largely because the bass itself was under my budget and because the seller recommended them on the instrument in question. A few months on and I'm very happy with the combination of Evah's and guts I have one there and am not sure using these will improve things much. I'm going to have to suck up a bit of a financial loss, but in the grand scheme of things............. Bought from Stringzone, RRP £673 (I know......). They're still in original packaging, never removed, and carton etc https://www.thestringzone.co.uk/pirastro-eudoxa-double-bass-strings-set 56AD905D-20B9-40A9-89C5-046FD807D79B_1_201_a.heic

    I have and am watching with interest 👍

    Wonderful timing for a project I'm just about to kick off, could I take those off your hands please ? Clue to the project.....
  16. Beedster
    Yes, if you want to avoid the madness in question, accept that Spiros are pretty good strings, sound great, are used by a lot of pros, are relatively inexpensive, don't require too much care, and last a decent amount of time. The other road, as you suggest, heads to madness
  17. Beedster
    Damn missed ‘em 😕
  18. Beedster
    Thanks Tony, re the Nadine I bought it on this site a few months back 👍

    Nordstrand NP4A £70 Bought for a specific project that probably won't happen now, brand new in box, bought from Bass Direct https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Nordstrand_Precision_pickups.html Lovely staggered pole pieces
  20. Beedster
    Having a clear out of the bass box, a lot of goodies to be listed! Badass II unused £75 SOLD As you are probably aware, these either do, or don't, improve your tone massively
  21. Beedster
    LR Baggs Gigpro £50
  22. Beedster
    Realist Lifeline £100
  23. Beedster
    Now using the rather splendid Nadine Ear Trumpet into a hopefully equally splendid Grace Felix so these are redundant 👍 1. Schertler Stat-B set, over £500 at Thomann https://www.thomann.de/gb/schertler_stat_b_set_2.htm. This has seen quite a lot of use but still a a bargain at £100 **SOLD**
  24. Beedster
    Like it 👍
  25. Beedster
    And gone! it’s gonna be transformed into a full-blown Charlie Tumahai Sig, Warmoth neck ordered, blonde finish ordered, rather pleased TBH 👍
