Telebass

It's not just a temperature thing, letting them cool down. The heater filaments are MUCH more fragile while still hot, and more prone to just breaking. Any physical shock while still hot risks this. It's why car bulbs are made so tough. And expensive. Or projector lamps. Very fragile when hot!

Correct, if you're not putting a Strat or Tele in it, what's the point?

No. Welcome!

Welcome back to the bass!

Howdy!

Welcome!

Just go for the Squier (note the Speeling, chaps!) Classic Vibe 60s P. Only possible downside is that it's only available in Sonic Blue... [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0303070572"]Classic Vibe 60s Precision[/url]

Welcome!

Indeed, and careful handling while warm. 10 minute cool-down before moving, if possible.

Valves are particularly sensitive to impedance mis-match. Unlike solid state, you cannot plug an 8-ohm cab into a 4 ohm output and just lose some power. It MUST be matched. While it will work for a while, both the output valves and the output transformer will suffer.

Thufinger rests - there's that definition sorted!

+1 for Daisley's gear!

Yup, got me one o' they too! Gets used as much as yours...

Axesrus used to bring them in...

Jim Deacon = SX

Try and find some SX basses and try a few. A bit clunky, but stunning value! Otherwise, I'd recommend the CV Squier...

What Delberthot said... Although, for some inexplicable reason, they are, these days, universally called thumbrests, even when installed below...you just try playing with your thumb down there. Finger rest! Additionally, the early single-screw rests were made from maple, raw, or painted black. The two-screw version was briefly on the SCPB before the split-coil debuted mid-57... [/geek]

Nonononono - meatballs EVERY time!

Yup, it's a pain. But then I've never thought there was anything wrong with the original bent bit o' metal, so, no problems!

Same p/u cover as the Marcus Miller 5, I bet. There's no bridge covers that would fit even the MM4, because it has a BAII fitted, and the standard Fender ashtray won't go over it... There's no covers of any sort ever been made available for a standard P5, because until this year, there was no such thing! Ah well...

Yellow Black Sunburst The black one is in the process of having original chrome covers fitted, then all three will be properly dressed!

Howdy!
