I’ve got my eye on a Fake Plastic Trees at the moment….at some I’ll get one, saw a great comparison between that and the Benson Preamp (which I’ve owned before). The FPT seems brighter and less compressed than the Benson, which is a plus in my book. I’d love to have their whole range of pedals but frankly they cost too much for me to afford but I’ve not heard a bad word said about any of their line and the fact that they seem to be as at home on guitar as bass means there’s some a lot of value there

Here's a link to a gig we did at the start of March that was recorded by the promoter, one of my other VI's but the same board https://www.facebook.com/events/1122952138439365/permalink/1123747411693171/ We're on at around 36:33 It was a bit of an odd gig... We were told it was a live stream but it didn't come out for a month! Promoter then got pissy that no one tuned in for it when it eventually got released. I guess I could do a proper video about my current full board as the last one I did was ages ago:

I've got a hardtail trem plate underneath it, it just looks a bit plain on its own and the precision bridge cover I had just didn't do the trick, Jazz cover is almost perfect (maybe it's a little big).

Thanks! Yeah I had one ages ago, sold it and then found this one used for a great price and couldn't resist.

Here's my Bass VI and board from the other day when I had a gig. I might upgrade the trem, but it works fine, otherwise I think this is pretty set for now. (for this band anyway).

Newtone strings are great and they are really up for customer work too, i got some customer VI sets made up by them (heavier than the Axion...they were great but i think it just ended up too much tension for the neck). Surprisingly, Fender do, what is for me, the perfect roundwound bass VI set...they just dont string the bass VI's with it for some bizzare reason: https://astrings.co.uk/products/0730250413?variant=35287077519514&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic I wrap electrical tape around the bridge posts to stop them wobbling. Probably not the most scientific approach but it works. On two of my VI's i've done away with the trem altogether and replaced it with a hardtail plate: https://reverb.com/item/6764636-custom-stainless-steel-bass-vi-hardtail-conversion-plate-with-free-strings Now, the bridge is solid and ive got more than enough room for intonation and i've got no worries about things wobbling out of tune.

They did when they discontinued the Vintage Modified ones and issued the Classic Vibe series: Replaced the bridge with a Mustang style one which helps not only with the strings popping out of place but also the screw is seated in the top of the assembly and doesnt risk diagonally hitting the string. Its still the same width so I tend to upgrade with a Staytrem which is much wider and gives more than enough room for intonation.

Sorry to self-promote but I did a video that covers my Bass VIs the other day that may help:
