    Similar to others on here, including the OP, the truss rod setting was excellent with just a small amount of relief from the factory. The bridge saddles needed about three [plus] turns each to get a nice low action. There are no real dead spots on the neck, or buzzes that I can find. In single coil mode with the three-position switch in the middle, you have a nice bright 70's Jazz bass sound with a fair scoop. The neck pickup solo'd in single coil mode is very P-alike - you can take about 40% of the tone off before it gets muddy. The bridge pickup with 50% tone produces a fair to middling Jaco sound. The humbucker setting can be overpowering. Not in terms of physical output, but due to how the pickups are wound. The front pickup in humbucker mode solo'd gives you something like an EB-0 with lots of gain style gritty tone. Run the instrument as a single coil at the neck and a humbucker at the bridge and it does a very reasonable HS impression. Build quality is great. No blemishes or chips in the finish, fretwork is good overall and the neck profile (fingers to thumb) is again very Jazz-like. Hugely playable and comfortable. Okay, so what's not to like for £150? Thanks Andertons

    Latest album from highly rated US singer-songwriter. Yours for just £8 posted UK. Now £6 Susan James is thrilled to announce the release of her latest album TIME IS NOW on July 12, 2024. Dive into a world of captivating melodies and artful lyrics that will leave you wanting more. The psychedelic chamber-pop opus not only showcases James' talent but also highlights her growth and commitment to musical authenticity. Engineered and produced by Susan, Time Is Now is a testament to her innovative approach and artistic evolution. With a discography that tells a story of experimentation and heartfelt creativity, Susan James continues to capture the hearts of fans and critics alike. Susan provides some insight stating “It all began as a powerful vision a year ago, an idea that blossomed into what I now offer as a soundtrack for healing our seemingly broken world. In these tumultuous and divisive times, we must acknowledge that love, empathy, and inclusivity are not just noble ideals, but are vital components of our collective resilience and progress as a species.. While there are forces that seek to keep us in a state of conflict and mere survival, I believe that by embracing love and all its facets, we unlock boundless potential and possibilities for a beautiful, unified global future." She goes on playfully, "So yes, it’s this tiny concept that inspired the album."

    Can't get behind that at all. It looks like quite a thick refin. The whole thing looks like a MIM Classic '50s Precision bass. Why dress a 1963 body up like a 1957 bass? Apart from the skid marks in the neck pocket everything that ties this instrument to 1963 is gone.

    I've got of these too. Neck dive for sure with any almost all T-Bird inspired shapes, but I moved the strap button to neck heel and it's about 75% better. I've also been tinkering with it, rewired pickups to single coil (lower neck coil and upper bridge coil) and it's much more J bass now.

    Legendary octave pedal in highly desirable relic’d finish 😉. Works fine, just looks knackered, much like myself. Born in Japan, May 1985 (the pedal, not me). Free UK postage. Cheers! Sam.

    Sadly not I didn't expect this to sell quickly but I thought someone would've bitten by now for forty notes 🙈

    That's good to hear. I find the default settings on many Helix blocks, even the bass-specific blocks, less than ideal for bass. I assume the default Anagram block settings are more useful "out of the box."

    Absurd, and smells not like Tesco's official let's-drive-our-customers-away policy, but more like youthful staff having a larf. Me, I'd be happy with a Barilla substitute for Garofalo, but would be willing to make lotsa noise when 3XL is changed into S. Is this system designed so you can deny taking the nonsense without making lotsa noise? In case: do they then fetch it, or do you need to go to a shop?

    Very, very nice! I met Alan & his wife at the Bass Show and they were lovely. Tried a 32” 5er and it was superb! Enjoy!

    My Barefaced FR800s had feet on the bottom, but then when you stacked two it went horn>woofer>horn>woofer which I never really liked. I preferred to stack them sideways so you had a column of horns and a column of woofers next to each other, but they didn't have feet on the sides. Anyway, I bought a 4 pack of black hockey pucks for next to nothing online and they worked a treat. Tough, lights, black, rubber so a little vibration-absorbing, great.

    Great, I'm the first poster. Rich brought a Netgear Router off me. Neither of us were sure if it would technically work. Rich was great to work with, we both trusted each other and the sale was perfect. Zero issues, pleasure to work with and would be happy to buy or sell with him. Thanks Rich Rob

    Collection only. With flights and taxes it'd still end up being $5.5 - $6k... I really need to find one in the UK.
