A bitter / sweet gig this one (Chateauroux in France) 18 original compositions from a good friend who's now sadly very limited with regards to time left. 10 pce band and I only know one of them, two days of rehearsal, live recording third day and public concert on the last night. Quite an honour to be asked to provide the low end. Fingers crossed I don't mess up🤣

Mint guard, Monty’s stuff on the fretboard- laaaahhhhverly!

It‘s like witnessing a snuff film. You can‘t unsee it.

Isn’t it though?

Ooh the 0xEAE Bass Driver! Loved the demo I heard. Was tempted to seek one out. How you finding it as my thought was lower gain as a preamp rather than a full bore filth unit

Is there a standard for solderless looms? I did a quick search and only saw stuff on eBay and a company called Obsidian, which seems to have a proprietary system (if I understand correctly, you don’t need to make any changes to the pickups, just slot the wires in the terminal?) What if I want to use my existing electrics/harness and just want to have an easy, solderless way of changing pickups?

Well, having just recently sold a Precision (and one I really liked at that), I've gone and got another one. Moreover, I had one of these before, and sold it, partly to "upgrade" to a Fender.... so it's full circle, again 😉 Actually, I previously owned 2 of these earlier versions of the Squier Classic Vibe P basses; one in pale blue, and the other in Fiesta Red. I swore blind I'd never sell either - but I was tempted away by other basses. Selling my CV's only in attempt to keep the numbers down. Anyhow, I really did miss both, especially the Fiesta Red version as it had become my fave colour, with Tort guard. My upgraded Fiesta Red P was a Mex Classic 50's, and I really liked that too. However, the slightly wider neck was beginning to feel less comfortable. So I found myself wishing it had a slightly narrower neck, like the CV. So local BC'er and top bloke Lewis put this up for sale, and I decided to swing by and take a trip down memory lane, and I was instantly taken back to the enjoyment I got, playing my old CV. It's a tad heavier than the Danelectro, or the Short Scale Ibanez I mostly gig with these days - but what the heck... I just decided to go for it. I can always use it for a first set, then switch to the Dano for the 2nd set anyway, eh? Will I ever learn? Probably not

I've been trying to avoid watching the news recently, but I think I may have seen your talking donkey?

Yeah for sure, although I have seen a lot of Warwick love from them recently - Dirk Lance..etc. True, they just have so many basses it seems like they almost like everything sometimes. I saw a video where IMA pulled out an headless steinberg just for once specific reggae tone, lol.

Lovely looking bass @Eric_Wombat. I must admit, I've pondered getting one of these - even though I already have way too many. I particularly like the colour, it's a pinkish burgundy wine, and i think it's a great colour. I've not played one of these, but have heard great reports from owners and people who've tried them out. I quite liked Guy Pratt, and he went up in my estimations after reading his book - very well written, and so entertaining. Also, I really enjoyed his lockdown videos & bass lessons. Enjoy your new bass 😀

They’re super enthusiastic about a very small handful of manufacturers and players.

Wax and wane - Cocteau Twins

Not that I can help with your speakers, but I woudn't call that 'on the blink' - that is way beyond the blink, that is full on broken!

Yes, I noticed it on my 2605, but it certainly wasn't an issue.
