Think the bass of doom cost Rob Trujillo $100k to get back from the person who ended up with it. I’d say Jamerson’s “Funk Machine” would be up there (if found and verified). Then Macca’s Violin - his second one which he still plays.

just stuck two sets on 😂

Orange

It is very MJ, but has a bit of a dirty loops feel going on - with a bit less jazz about it. very lovely - if only I could find a band/singer like that so I could make a really bad job of the bass parts.

Is that an Xotic?

Oooh, aaaah, 4 of the same thing…🤦🏻‍♂️😂

If they’re resistant, there are about 4/5 easy methods rather than tools - but there are “knob pulling” tools 😂😂😂

Nee strings and final tweaks…

Passive p/j - proper BB

I’m now on a furry cab so it’s not an issue, but my cat kept on trying to get near it, so I’ve had to spend £60 on a cover… swings and roundabouts.

Might give these a go.

You’d cope. Many people seem to do ok without me 😂😂😂

Cor blimey. Lovely bit of pewter says I. Bet you’re chuffed you messaged me now eh? magic that. with all pots set centrally, it’s a bb415 too 😉

Love these

I keep looking at Vanderklay Spartan’s…thinking it’d be an expensive experiment 😂 The EBS has been a revelation for me, lovely thing - great when twinned with the Proline 410 - but my spine couldn’t manage it.

Yeah, it’s like a bottomless pit for volume - warmth and clarity in buckets. just listening back to rehearsal from last night and while the sound in the room itself was odd, the playback is the best sound I’ve had in years. Typically - a passive bass straight into a nice amp…no pedals or gadgets in between. No criticism for people who do that - but with an FX heavy guitarist, this seems to work - plus the less complicated it is for me - the better 😂🥴

9am today…

This stuff?

Just ordered a Vanderklay cover. Got an email response to queries (no “buy” button for my cover online) and all sorted in 3 emails and should be here tomorrow. pretty easy so far.

Red all night tonight - was due new strings for 5 basses and “next day” obviously means “not within 3 days…” but it seems the strings I kept as spares to put on the red one still had enough snap for one rehearsal…

Better photo tonight. Weird room - for live tracking drums so was acoustically a bit odd…

They’re not the same mate…similar, close, but not the yamaha ones.

I thought @lee650had taken that ad down?!

Thank you to our very own @MoJo for re-stocking my sucked sweetie control knob pile…I get stressed when I run out…
