discreet

I can't play rhythm on a Les Paul, either. I think it's too heavy and too uncomfortable. Too many edges. The LP is essentially a slab body, so I think that has a lot to do with it. I prefer my Strat, as it's contoured and much more comfortable. Get down! And so on.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1508611849' post='3393368'] I stand by my definition because life has been a bit difficult until recently and I hadn't been getting out much at all. [/quote] I was joking, hence the grin. OMs can be a lot of fun. Please ignore me, I'm having a weird day.

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1508611438' post='3393361'] Living in the country, loike what I does, the big ole wide neck feels like the pace of life round these parrrts. [/quote] Sorry, I forgot to add " ", " " and " ", and so forth to my previous comment...

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1508610739' post='3393352'] The only trouble is that it makes playing my Jazz basses (& Thunderbirds) feel like driving in London after the empty roads of west Oxfordshire! [/quote] Living in London as I do, a 1.75" nut width P neck is about the only place you can stretch out and have a bit of room to yourself... And even a little undisturbed nap in the afternoon if you're lucky.

Good Lord, that seems like something of a bargain.

[quote name='2x18' timestamp='1508608617' post='3393333'] And it is for sale from Ash --- a very well respected Basschatter! [/quote] He is indeed. I hadn't noticed that. Phew, luckily I was positive about it!

[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1508607589' post='3393323'] ...the word has a wider meaning than just music. [/quote] It does, hence the 'gig economy'. Not trying to shoehorn in a Brexit discussion, by the way.

[size=6]You mean this thing that looks a bit like a [b]Rickenbacker[/b]??

[quote name='thegummy' timestamp='1508603394' post='3393276'] Before I got this I was worried that the radius might be too weird for me but I don't actually think about it when playing at all, I just concentrate on playing and it's totally fine and comfortable. My other bass is 16" so it's as different as it can be but both are nice [/quote] That's interesting, I'm not sure I'd be happy about 16" radius! Not comfortable with 9.5" radius! Maybe it's my wrinkled, claw-like hands...

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1508607129' post='3393317']I wouldn't count open mics so much. I prefer to think of them as enrichment ... [/quote] Must be a new definition of 'enrichment' I'm not familiar with.

Ad no longer available. I think the pressure finally got to him.

These are great basses. You really can't beat a 7.25" radius, 1.75" nut, one-piece maple neck. Feels like home to me. Very nice. I must get another...

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1508591553' post='3393152'] I suspect he's not sure, hence the price. [/quote] If he's wasn't sure, he is now.

[quote name='el borracho' timestamp='1508590006' post='3393134'] Eko Rokes I reckon [/quote] Wow, never seen one of those before.

[quote name='Bass Culture' timestamp='1508254903' post='3390901']Could do worse than contact Mike Walsh of Zoot fame.[/quote][quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1508586368' post='3393101']+1 for Mike (Zoot) Walsh.[/quote] Thanks very much, I have contacted him through his FB page and await a reply. I've also contacted one or two other people that members have been kind enough to suggest, so thanks again.

As said above, no way of knowing other than to try them out. They'll either work together or they won't.

SE London here... welcome.

[quote name='Wilco' timestamp='1508424787']The main point of the post was about the actual fit though, which is spot on. [/quote] That's good to know. Forget about the pics.

But not as nice as this...

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1508413459' post='3392002'] Don't tease me ...pictures ! I demand pictures right now [/quote] This is quite nice...
