So in a PM just now I described the condition Basschatitis. In the interests of medical science, I suspect we - as suffsrers - need to clarify symptoms and define treatments. Feel free to contribute......

Ain't that the truth 👍

And yes, largely a matter of taste not of optimal mechanics in any pure sense 👍

My preference is on the board, I had an old Warmoth that arrived from the US without a nut and it played so well - albeit with a capo I placed on the headstock to keep the strings in position - that I left it like that 👍 YMMV 🙂

One of the best ics you can get for this sort of money, great for anything from BBC-style voiceovers to screamers! Both bought from new in 2020 and used relatively lightly for podcasting only since then (in short they've not been subjected to the volume and saliva of any of those screamers!). In fact I doubt either has had more than 100 hours use in total. I've recently bought another Townsend L22 meaning that I'm using that pair for podcasting duties these days, hence the sale. £200 each of £350 for the pair, will be sent in original packaging.

Defo a trad feel to the basses on show, and nothing at all wrong with that 👍 -

No information re location, genre, level? Where do I sign up? -
And the best bass sound I've ever had is..... (drum roll)
Beedster replied to la bam's topic in General Discussion
Perceived bass tone (to bass player) = Actual tone/10 - Expected tone/10 Moderate performing low expectation bass = 5 - 0 = 5 Moderate performing high expectation bass = 5 - 10 = -5 In short a Squier has far more chance of being perceived by a bass player as an exceptional instrument than a Fender Custom Shop. But only the bassist experiences the expectation, the audience don't, so only actual tone really matters 👍 -
I have rounds on one fretless and flats on the other and generally much prefer the tone and playability of the flats

Yep, festival we were booked to play a while back had the same, need I say more…… 😕
