    NBD - It's a Fender. It's a Jazz. It's in my car.

    There's a knob missing. It's completely useless, and unplayable. Best send to me for disposal. Great find.

    Using a pick...

    Are you going to tell Carol Kaye that, or do you want us to? Granted, she was a guitar player first, but she did play bass a bit too.

    Using a pick...

    This whole website is full of pasts about how good this bass player is, and how great that bass player is, and how inspirational this player was, and a lot of them played with a pick. I have done both pick playing, and fingerstyle for 45 years plus, and I always played what the song needed. I...

    How many of your basses are 100% ready-to-go? None of mine ever are :-P

    If I had a gig today (although I'd have to borrow/hire backline), I could grab any one of them. The action is a little high (for me) on one, and needs a shim to get it to the very low action I like since the E saddle is bottomed out at Fender spec for string height, but everything else is ready...

    "Hey, can I take a picture of your settings?"

    If he really wants to sound like OP, he should have taken a picture of his hands.

    Olympic White Precision Home Build

    The Try-Oil finish is what I use (but I use car wax to finish). I don't have a spray-friendly environment.

    I believe you need to 'finish' Warmoth necks some way, otherwise no warranty. There's a lot of ways to finish it that will make it look/feel unfinished.

    Refinishing a Ken Smith bass - yea or nay

    I wouldn't touch it.

    Does what you do require a speciific bass sound? Or do you need versatility... Or feel/play trumps all?

    It's changed a little over the years, but relatively flat, with just a hint of drive is my favourite. Sometimes I like that SVT sag, but I can do without it. A P or J or PJ FSO can do a lot with that sound by varying how and where you attack the strings.

    Puns!

    Don't ask about my low self esteem, it's not that good.

    Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers cover band - needs a name.

    "Don't" - a lot of songs with that word in it.
