Is that a floating or fixed bridge?

You're asking the wrong person mate, ask cd_david.

360 + 62 P is my bass nirvana.

Deko is damaged or customer returned.

OMG. This deserves its own thread. Acoustic love. ❤️ Also that p is rocking too.

That is one sweet setup. Love acoustic rigs. 🤘

A framed rig picture. That's a basshead. 😉

Got a shortie incoming. Plan on putting some flats on it, should be fun.

Exactly. There's a lot of chancers these days on fleabay.

Wow, just wow. One machine head for Ibanez - only £400 and the seller will even post 2nd class mail... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-Roadstar-Bass-Guitar-Machine-Head-Tuner-VELVE-TUNE-BII-for-D-or-G-RARE/143078052164?hash=item21501dd144%3Ag%3AOBgAAOSw2~NcLioM&LH_All=1&LH_ItemCondition=3000

This should go in the bass porn section!

Which is best is subjective, I am a P guy through and through. My preference is the 51 SC, the sound is warmer, richer and more organic, and I like the overall aesthetics and look of the original. The split coil has a fuller, thumpier (if that's a word) and more rounded tone.

What specific difference did you find? After a few minutes playing I didn't find any difference, I found it very easy to adjust.

Which cheap short scale would you suggest?

Talking to a mate last night about switching from long scale to short scale bass, and I've been looking at buying a short scale. However, he mentioned about using a capo on a long scale, i play in standard tuning, he said detune down to a D and put a capo on second fret, which changes 34 inch to roughly 30.5 inch scale. Sounds like a great idea, so was wondering if anyone has done this?

My fav colour combo, honey blonde, maple and dark red / brown tort. Yum 😁

There's been a few basses with a sliding pickup, Gibson's Ripper or Grabber had one.

Some beauties there.

That's gonna be one sweet bass. Did the squire cv 60s p in sonic blue not interest you?

Pretty sure the pickups in the Icon are alnico, I've heard the newer Vintage v4 reissue's (one with painted headstock) have different pickups than the others. However, you have one bass which records well and the other I'm guessing sounds good playing live, so I reckon you have GAS for something new or different. You probably don't want to hear this, but you already have a solid setup. But GAS affects us all. Damn you GAS.

Getting a new neck with rosewood fingerboard may be tricky as rosewood is now an endangered wood AFAIK. A decent new neck will cost was much or more than a second hand squire p bass special. So probably easier to just buy a used one, and sell the body to recoup some funds.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the yammie rbx 370 dx and the rbx 374?
