Plexi Precision - first (and last!) stand-up gig *Maybe not...*

[Telebass]

[size=4][font=Verdana,Arial][font=Verdana,Arial][font=Verdana,Arial]Well, the bass sounds great at gig volumes. But two songs in, and it was history! I can still feel it 18 hours later! [/font][/font][/font]
[font=Verdana,Arial][font=Verdana,Arial][font=Verdana,Arial]But for home/sit-down gigs/rehearsal/recording - it's the one![/font][/font][/font]

Doh! Seems a bit silly to have a really cool plexi bass and keep it hidden away though

Nah, no-one will be able to see it anyway

A bass designed for maximum visual impact isn't going to get seen then? Seems a little odd tbh

[Telebass]

It IS a shame. It will get any sit-down gigs. But too heavy to play for more than a song or two at a time. Ah well...

[charic]

What type of strap did you have it on?

[Telebass]

Four-inch wide plain leather. needs something much beefier!

t'aint this one is it [url="http://www.batonrougerocks.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1305581394;start=all"]http://www.batonrougerocks.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1305581394;start=all[/url] ?

No, it's one built by a Basschatter. For those that didn't see the build diary, here's links to the final pics from the build.






It doesn't wear the Badass any more, but apart from that and some new TI Jazz Flats, it's the same. Swapping out the Badass saved nearly half a pound!

[Donnyboy]

Ah it's all clear now....

[Telebass]

I have ordered a Sling Strap from Slinger Straps and see if I can gig it a bit more using that. The only possible fly in that ointment is that it may pull my trousers down!

Let me congratulate you on that one as it was missed first time around. :-)

[jimbaby]

Transparent in fact.

[Telebass]

I have the strap! It seems to help, maybe I'll manage 4 songs before I quit this time!
On a more irritating note, HMRC managed to skin me for £14.14 on top of a $50 packet. Bastards.

Anyone who wants to see this comedy attempt, be at the Trout & Tipple in Tavistock around 9pm...




[size=4]EDIT: this bass has already done studio service for RRO's first album of original material. It sounds great![/size]

Played a whole set with it! To make it comfortable, I actually kept the original 4" strap on as well as the slinger, so weight was really well distributed. Bit of a faff getting it on, but I could probably have done the entire gig. No aches or pains today either, unlike the first time I tried it!

Result!
