The Last Bass Outpost

I’ve come across bears on the West Coast and up north in the Yukon. The cubs are around this time of year and mamma bear is protective , so one has to be careful. I have a sister-in-law that lives in Squamish , and also has a fishing camp close to Carcross.

Beautiful places , but lots of bears.

 It can be about as much fun as you can get.

Thankyou , the two guys doing percussion are trumpet players.

We’re a trumpet playin band.

Mine are 34 in scale , the reissue made in Singapore. I just put on a strap and raised both arms above my head , it’s perfectly balanced. I have Thomastik flats on the yellow one , the blue has some older rounds , I’m liking how they sound. The blue one is in surprising shape , one tiny ding on the headstock , and one more by the output jack. I’ve been playing around with the setup. It’s feeling really good.
I’m feeling very thankful that my name came up when it arrived in the shop. It did not make it to the floor. They just set it aside with my name on it.
These are mid weight , slightly on the lighter side. The necks are comfortable , they’re well balanced similar to a Jazz bass , maybe slightly more aggressive. They are fine basses. Fender style bridges , easy and fast to set up. They sound good. I like ‘em despite mostly playing short scale basses these days.

I have a neck through 4000 , there’s a lot to be said for two knob simplicity.
That’s simply gorgeous , Ilan.

Beauties!

I have a MIJ 51 reissue , the school bus yellow version. I’ve kept the two way bridge but put on the classic rocket shaped covers. Out of sight , out of mind.

If you care to figure out the balancing act the two way bridges work just fine.
