Humbuckers??
LaBella strings?
Lightweight?

Humbuckers?? Yes, original Maxon.
LaBella strings? Still deciding on strings. I'm a flat wound chick but it's rocking light guage rounds and as I said, it sounds lovely!
Lightweight? It's not as heavy as a train carrage.

I think it reminds me a bit of this

Coincidentally, they looked slightly like the American models.

Cranked up the big rig and the old Precision last night. That’s a really comfortable instrument

I’m also a fan of the “TV” headstock font, it’s certainly my favourite

Stingray Fretless is getting a set up and a tweak.
It needs a proper raise in the action.

Probably need refrets on both the MTD and the Tobias now. There’s always $ in upkeep.

Played the old Rickenbacker I sold a relative last night. That big top horn seems to dig into my ribs more than I remember.

I want one of those Sadowsky 4-20s. What's the deal with those in terms of where they're made? Some say Germany, others NYC, and elsewhere.

Sadowsky Bass can be made in New York, China, Japan or Germany (Warwick/Framus)

Apparently the outboard preamp pedals now made in China

No one knows who makes the strings Roger won’t tell us

There’s a MIJ on Sadowsky site, $1750 US

There’s a Warwick 5 (Made in Germany) at a good price Imo on TM

A student of mine had a passive Corvette and it’s far and away the Warwick I liked best tonally, a great take on a Jazz Bass and excellent construction/ fit and finish

I probably should have bought it off him when he moved back to South America
