Due to arthritis, I haven't been able to use my left pinky for many years -- it's still there but impossible to hold down a string. You'd be surprised just how quickly you adapt to it not being available for use. Stay right-handed. Far easier.

After Bassist mag was amalgamated into/swallowed up by Guitarist, it used to be quite amusing to flick through it at WH Smith each month and try to find any meaningful bass content whatsoever. I bet Roger Newell was really good at solitaire on his PC, because I don't think he had much else to do.

This is a good article https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2013/04/03/bass-ramps-the-how-and-why/ It also features a pic of our @Dood's Shuker 7-string 'Doodle'.

Isn’t there a tiny maths fail there?

My two bands are in such different genres that no single bass (not one that I currently own anyway…) is ideal for both. Currently it’s the Sire V7 (5 string J) for the souly band and the Ska bass (beefy sounding 4 string) for the ska/reggae outfit. If I was to have a bass made to serve both, it’d be a 32/33” headless 5 string with P+MM pickups.

Yes, you’re right, it was a deliberate and thoroughly arrogant misuse of my mod status, rather than a mistake made whilst trying to share something people might find amusing. 🙄

Sounds almost like a bit of a click track?

Very capable band, their gender is irrelevant. I wish my fingers were still that nimble.

Looks like they have hamfisted 'renovators' in the States too. The sad thing is this could be quite cool if it wasn't, errm, fairly awful.
