    SOLD Stradi Baroque 4 NEW PRICE

    Is that a magnetic cover on the back? I don't see the usual groove on those types where you stick your finger in to lift it off. Slightly off topic, what instrument stands are those? They look fantastic.

    SOLD Rob Allen Mouse 30f Fretted 5-string short scale bass (5lbs 9oz)

    Way out of my price range so just curious, how does intonation and string height work with a bridge like that? Beautiful bass and so light, good luck selling. Or should I wish you the opposite so you can keep it! :laugh:

    That'd be excellent! I'd definitely give it a try.

    Special Edition Build-off - 4003w new build

    Looks like it's turning out really well! I've always wanted to give making wooden pickups a try.

    SOLD Original Fat Head

    Looked this thing up, still a bit confused on its purpose. What do you mean by dead spot and how does it move it?

    Special Edition Build-off - 4003w new build

    Well, since we're talking nuts, I'm thinking of trying my hand at some brass ones. Don't have much experience. Should be fun. Also never heard that bone nuts smell bad when cutting them. Somehow everyone's left that out.

    SOLD Status The Groove Bass - Autographed by the Donald Trump

    Never seen that particular pickup before. Gonna have to look into it. Good luck, hope someone can verify the signature.

    TRADED Dingwall D-Bird - RARE Bird

    The most important question, does it have 'authentic' neck dive?

    Five string single cut - oak content

    I'm also interested in oak instruments. I know it's a pain to work with, but I've seen some gorgeous stuff made out of oak and pine which is another wood people get warned to stay away from. The bass in the photo is gorgeous, can't wait to see how yours turns out.

    NBD Finally Back Home

    Any pictures of the packaging from either of you? Always curious about how to package one well. Also grats. It looks fantastic.

    Two fingers on fretting hand

    You missed my point. Just because Jamerson used one finger on his right hand doesn't mean it's a good idea. It worked for him and that's great he's amazing. That doesn't mean playing with one finger should be advocated for over two.

    Two fingers on fretting hand

    Honestly I'm surprised by all the people advocating for poor technique. Arguments about not using all fingers equally are absurd. It's not about using them equally. It's about using them all. James Jamerson is one of the greatest bass players of all time. But I'd call anyone using him to...

    Firefox Bass from Ark Instruments

    I think it looks fantastic. Was the hollow ramp your idea? It's a rather brilliant yet simple concept.
