Gigging regularly & for years on the South Coast, for much of that with my Wal Pro1/Custom I got into 5's through a modded SUB5 that was soon replaced with a 4+1 L2500 in translucent red with a masked binding stripe and quickly fell in love with the bass & sounds possible in the rock covers band I am with.
Earlier this year I joined a p/t proggy covers band and decided I needed a fretless. That led initially to a cheap, but all the same good Peavey Foundation lined fretless - also via BC - but I had also been watching a green translucent 3+2 L2500 lined fretless and last week weakened as it was still there and pulled the trigger on that and it arrived last Friday
What is particularly galling is last Thursday I had the second operation on my right arm/hand this year (Feb the wrist was replaced, Thursday the pinkie knuckle along with some tinkering with tendons) and I am presently in a half cast from forearm to fingertips so can do no more than a tentative pluck with my thumb
Both have moulded G&L cases, but odd to note that the body hole is much larger than the basses, particularly the fretless.
O.K., so it was a bad joke, but that's what I'm known for around here. ) Heel well, and get back to slappin' and pluckin' those basses ASAP.
Cheers. Plaster possibly off Wednesday and if it's worked as well as the index finger a couple of years back it'll be all good.
