my latest status update...

i like standard d ...it just means you have lower open strings ...you can still play in standard tuning easily enough ..throw a capo on the second fret if you like ...instant shortscale.

lockdown meant my bass collection expanded significantly ...

he's alright .. it's all a bit of an act and it turns out he can actually play quite well ..oh and he hates 5 stringers ...so he isn't a total dipstick in my book.

this is one of those subjects that you have lost before you have even started ...everyone has their favourites ...currently listening to visions of you by jah wobble.

reminds me of mold ...

i was thinking only the other day about how they must by now be desperately brain storming fresh video ideas ...i mean surely there is only so much to be said about bass but here they are still knocking them out.

i try not to cut the strings too much ...got caught out a few times when transferring from say a stingray to a jazz ..i just make sure that the capstan is always top to bottom even when there is a string tree ..force of habit.

yellow brick road is superb bass playing throughout and such a great tone ...

but you don't exist?

thanks ...i never intended to have so many but my problem is i can't sell any .. i see positives in all of them ...probably getting a little out of hand to be honest ...a precision was my only bass for many years but i sold it ...i wonder if i can sneak another one in..?

ok i briefly have the whole lot out of storage together so i took a quick pic! ...so rare to have them all in one room these days on account of the wife..

maybe if i just cut so there is a small amount of silk just to hold it together ..?

ah ...ai seems to think this is a bad idea
