Hey @Gio!
I think we chatted a bit before - a while ago. Okay, some time ago! I’ve been taking lessons (shhh, don’t tell @JoshFossgreen) from Stu off (mostly) and on since the lockdown began.
I finally met him in October at a Recording Workshop at Sweetwater. He IS a great, patient, and gracious guy.
At the moment he has me working on getting my fingers more perpendicular to the fretboard especially down around the first four frets.
Hope all is well with you and you’re staying in tune!

Woody is an appropriate name, it’s only inappropriate to view this bass in public areas. Because Woody from Toy Story might pop out of pubic areas.

actually my granddad’s name was Woody (Woodrow).

At this point I knew I had messed up so I should get my things & go but your bass is still too sexy for me to stand up right now so I don’t want to add on to my embarrassment.

Fingers parallel to the frets in the first position (near nut) is something I really struggle with. If you have any tips to share that would be great.

Very nice, @JerryP . . .
I like the black neck blocks on the maple neck . . . matches the body.
Wishing you good luck and happy playing!
Cheers

I think I’ve settled on my one bass, or forever bass. After playing P basses for a while and then entering the jazz bass world, they definitely feel right and sound right for me. It just has to be this jazz - american performer. I have a vintera 60’s jazz too, which is also amazing, but I think the performer pips it for me
Just getting it to take a photo is really making me want to play it right now!!

Great choice, @quadfather . . .
I admit I am a bit biased, though . . 
Good luck with it and happy playing,

You just know when it feels right don’t you.
This is the one I mentioned when we were talking about the ultra. This performer just seems to play so well in the band though. It’d need to be something really special to improve I think!
Still torn about that ultra though - I’ll have to have a go on one, at some point
