Telebass

Welcome!

Yup, it was me... Sorry!

Indeed yes. If you are sure where it came from!

My '96 is that pale lemon yellow. And the neck is a long way from the tree trunk that was on the Sting I had. Only slightly fatter, front-to-back, than the very thin neck on my MIM P...which is exceptionally flat.

Howdy, just updated my avatar pic, and all it's done is stretch the old one. Is it me? Den.

RIP, Nick.

Howdy!

What Deep Thought said, but in 1992! We did get to Daytona, though! Also 56, playing for longer than I care to think about, but resolutely stuck on Precisions! Markbass, though? The way to go. Great amps.

Probably best to look at the wiring - maybe a connection came off, in which case, easy fix with a soldering iron, so long as you can see where the wire came from. If not, the wiring diagram can be had from the Fender web site, here:- [url="http://www.fender.com/support/diagrams/pdf_temp1/basses/0136100A/SD0136100APg2.pdf"]http://www.fender.com/support/diagrams/pdf...0136100APg2.pdf[/url]

Samson uses a AAA, the bass unit uses a brick. The AAAs last three gigs, not a great expense. I will NEVER use an active bass. If I need that much output, I simply plug in the humbucking Telecaster Bass...

Howdy! Another '51 player - cool!

TINSTAAFL...

Welcome!

..and if you want a Warwick 5er, you need heap big hands!

Howdy!

The black MIM is not dissimilar to yours - love it. The Squier VM P TB is 'pimped' insofar as it has slightly better machines, a proper string tree, and the bridge cover. The 51 is not really a budget item, although not that pricey...pimped with covers and tugbar.

Howdy!

It is still a current model, they are very well made, and they are ALL Japanese. They've never made them at Ensenada. Mine (which was Mickey's^^^^) is my main bass, and even though I am also a bit of a salad dodger, I find the lack of contours completely irrelevant. Great basses. Even better for a stark punky tone than a regular '57 style P-bass. Edit: "Also, what can anybody tell me about Lou Barlow's? Modified? Please help - pic link below!" That's a Mike Dirnt Signature Precision, which is a MIM.

We sufficiently impressed the management that we have the offer of two regular dates a year, which is as much of a residency as anyone gets at the Wharf! Well chuffed.

A bit of info... If you want to put Schaller BMFLs or Fender 70s replacements on a MIM or Squier, you'll find the holes to be too big. Try this: get a plastic bottle (shampoo, whatever...) and cut strips that will fit neatly inside the hole, lining it. A few drops of superglue gel can help too. Carefully fit bushings. Voila!

Howdy! Enjoy!

Welcome! From a dyed-in-the-wool four-banger!

Howdy!

Welcome! Don't leave it too long before you play with others - you'll not regret it!
