I see these ones have LaVoce drivers, that's a name I've not come across before. I had one of the older versions with the steel grill and Celestion neo drivers and it was the best 4x10" I'd ever played through. Absolutely rock solid cabs but also relatively light considering what they are

Just found another one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/White-Active-Passive-Electric-Bass-Guitar-In-Black/264229987700?hash=item3d8555a574:g:B6MAAOSwZrtcglEM "There are a couple of small couple of marks on the back of the bass as shown in the last photo."

I like the first one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Status-S2-Classic-Trace-Elliot-Custom-Electric-Bass-Guitar/292997899532?hash=item443809250c:g:5cMAAOSwndBcglk0 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Status-S2-Classic-4-String-Electric-Bass-Guitar/292997896728?hash=item4438091a18:g:Dl8AAOSwHSVcglfX

This is what I use: http://onlinetonegenerator.com/pitch-shifter.html Especially handy if you have to learn a song in a different key to the original or if you are learning Footloose which isn't quite Bb but should be in A and has probably been sped up from the original

and Black Sabbath's Iron Man had nothing to do with removing creases from clothing

This reminds me of a story that I made up recently about the found of Shitenbacker, Johnny "Potatoes & Gravy" Ball, and the massive ruccus he had with Bobby Crapman, creator of the Crapman Schtick. It revolved around Crapman calling Ball's ancestors a bunch of stinking cowards with Ball's response being "Vive las Vagas, le bain est don le Cuisine" or words to that effect. Once resolved it did allow them to create a crossover instrument, the Shiteycrappenbacker but it was a complete mess so never took off. The pudding dispenser would jam and randomly send chilled dairy products into the crowd. When asked years later what became of the few that were sold, Crapman's reposnse was "how did you get in my house?"

I the past we've been asked for Always by Bon Jovi despite it also being about infidelity. The song is actually about the fact that he'll never see her again because of what he did

The packaging looks real from what I can see. As long as when you do open them the ball ends are the correct colours then you will, or should know, for definite then. In fact it shows the correct colours on the bag that holds the strings

Just be careful to use the correct allen key as they can round very easily

I've always preferred the '51 single coil ones. I've had two Fenders and 2 Warmoths. To me they have a more rough edge to them than the single coil and can be a bit gnarly. I also prefer the headstock on these ones but prefer the '54 onwards body with the contours rather than the slab

That looks a hell of a lot like my old Warmoth '54 Precision but I didn't have a Fender decal on mine. right down to the tweed case with red fur. I'll need to check out my pictures when I get home

Where could I get my hands on some of that "devil's advocaat"? It sounds nice and used to be favourite Christmas tipple 😀

This is the fellow right here

You're all smoking crack; there's nothing that could hold a candle to the Tony Goggle signature model, based on Tony's original Gaylord that he used extensively both live, in the studio and also live. Automatic gearbox, including two reverse modes plus with the "bassface" mod there's nothing that could touch this Anything else is just firewood AFAIC

I don't follow trends in any area of my life. I buy what is the best fit for me whether it be a roll of tape, a new car, caviar, 4 star daydream, think I'll buy me a football team. If the perfect bass for me was called the Shitenbacker Bananaboat Gaylord III then I would still play it as long as it played well and looked good ( I may cover the name up though ) I'm not about to play something because someone says it's cool and trendy

I honestly don't know what the string spacing, neck dimensions or weight is of my bass but it's right for me and that's all that matters. The thing that is most likely to affect my playing is where my right hand sits on the bass. This could be the pickup cover on a Rick or old Fender, the $$ pickups on a Warwick ( I always found that my thumb tried to get in between the two pickups), or if the poles on a pickup are straight cut like older Musicman basses and so on. Possibly the most challenging basses I have owned have been my Yamaha TRB6 II fretless with a neck that also doubled as an ironing board. The other being the 12 string basses I owned as I always play with my fingers so the act of fretting 3 strings at once and playing 3 strings at once was pretty tricky to get used to

Can't believe that I've never heard of LTD before. I'm off to have a good listen now

most guitarists I know don't even use a stand

If I remember correctly the 1020 series has the same spline jointed 3 piece body, nickel silver nut and pickups of the 2020 series. In fact I think my reasoning for getting the BB1025 that I had was that it had almost everything that the BB2025 had but was a fraction of the price.

I too used Chromes for a number of years until I got my Sterling and they sounded pants compared to every other bass they've been on. I had a good look round but went with D'addario EXL165 nickel plated rounds with the consensus being they were one of, if not the smoothest, roundwound string you can buy. Handy really as I really like the tension and feel of D'addario strings

I do addition calculations from left to right instead of starting with the numbers on the right hand side like normal people do eg 13465 + 12354 I would start by adding the 1s on the left hand followed by 3+2 side rather than adding the 5 + 4 then working along to 6 + 5

I'm with Vinny on this one. After years of turning the strap the wrong way I just unclip the strap lock at the bridge end of the body and let it unfankle itself then clip it back on. Saves getting annoyed at an inanimate object when it doesn't do what you want it to 😀
