Prize equivalent is 1 set of EB Pino flatwound strings

Keep it, it’s time may come. I had similar with my P bass that was largely untouched for nearly a decade but now is used regularly.

It sounds nice though. I do like the demos AB has on his site.

Yes but if it’s deemed stolen material they don’t have the right to give you that copyright. Much like if you bought a stolen bass from a thief, you lose the bass and money.

Playing a 30 min set with jamiroquai at a French Riviera or Amalfi Coast private pool party with unlimited food and drink included, and unlimited dips in the pool. I would probably do it for free but a hefty cheque would also be nice.

I had a 2000 US DLX Jazz and it was fine with the string thru bridge, but no better than my current Sire. I thought it was 18mm though.

£280 at the bass gallery according to their web page. Not sure I would trust anyone else.

That is the main argument against AI derived “art”

They really turned the American range around post 2012. Totally different to the vintage basses but no less wonderful!

I get what you mean about the first part, but then at the same time if AI were to be influenced by minimal sources it opens it up more to plagiarism. AI and the construct of genre is interesting because I think AI really needs those sort of boundaries and organisation. Yet as we know the influences used in songs make the lines between genres incredibly blurred to the point where it’s almost meaningless!

I’ve missed out on several basses for not much money but was already stretched as it was so it couldn’t happen. I always just hope that one day I will be in the right place right time, but in the meantime enjoy what I have.

I did say at the bottom of my response that it mimics how humans learn. The difference being while we take information a bit at a time, AI can read and digest large volumes very quickly. The legal decision is can tech derived art be classified as art… luckily not my decision to make!

No not always, as we know there are so many variables with the originality of these instruments. But as a general rule of thumb it gives a good idea.

Take 15-20% off dealer price and that’s should be about right for private sale.

It falls under the same argument as artwork, where it isn’t legally clear whether someone feeding AI your copyrighted work for it to regurgitate into something else is an infringement of copyright or becomes their work. It’s harder still because thats what humans do!

It’s the bare neck pocket that confused me, or is 63 before they used the stick to hold the body for painting?

Tuners and decal looked real to me, but I’m sure someone will be along to tell me I wrong… Not much else looked right, weren’t the side dots also supposed to be clay? Neck pocket isn’t like any I’ve seen.

Wanted to say the same

If you’re going to this level of mods, I’d get the frets levelled by a top luthier to make it play like butter. That and the nut will make the biggest difference.

Think I’m the same but the strings are starting to suffer and GAS has struck for an amp in the classifieds I find myself trying to justify…..

Probably slightly leaning towards red hat on here but very much black hat in normal life.

It will be known as the burns bass bitsa epidemic. Much like when shops sprayed their fenders fiesta red back in the 60s.

Gigging in shorts. A great idea until you see how silly you look in the photos. Especially as a short ar$e
