    I'll take lively with a terrible PA over a great sound in an empty pub any day, the typical audience there know what to expect from the venue, awkward shaped room full of people enjoying themselves, our resident nit pickers around here won't be there to suck the fun out of it ime.

    I just clicked the link, that Lana Del Rey song is just awful. Her name translates as 'the king's wool', just as a fun side note.

    I like Creep, there was some right terrible music around at around the same time Spoombung

    https://m.facebook.com/LegacyLichfield/?locale2=en_GB There's a couple of little clips in here, you don't need Facebook to watch them, All about the bass and Johnny got a boom boom.

    Ace, I love the lack of fret markers.

    Makes total sense to me, I doubt I'll ever buy another bass amp/cab.

    I'm not a fan but I had an SGC Nanyo SB320 in trans green and that looked great, the build quality shamed everything I've ever seen under a couple of grand too.

    I think a bad instrument remains bad, a good one 'might' become even better. The junk that was junk when new remains junk, you can keep trying that Kay bass in the wardrobe every ten years but I'm confident it will still be junk every time.

    I really like it, what age is it do you think?

    http://www.musicmanbass.org/mycustompage0061.htm Defo a 90s bridge complete with Flea saddles and serial number and the ernie ball era mute kit with the smaller thumb screws, I bet that bridge alone is worth a few quid.
  13. stingrayPete1977
    That's really nice! I think I've worked out the mystery with the bridges, that's a Flea bridge but with the mute kit fitted that the Flea just had bolts to blank off the holes. Look how the strings exit straight from the saddles rather than kicking off to the side, great purchase.

    You wouldn't need to on a Musicman, they come fitted with one to save you doing it, lol.

    How can age improve two lumps of wood bolted together? A 1970s 15lb Fender Jazz with a terrible neck pocket will only improve if you take it to a good luthier to have the body chambered and the neck pocket redone.

    Oh and hang on a minute didn't someone else's EB from the recent thread go back faulty straight out the box? Hhmmm I think I'll stick with my original comment and add that you got a rare good one. Look after it,lol.

    I've seen some right recent stinkers, my mate had an SG a couple of years ago brand new, I presumed although it had Gibson on the headstock that it was a new budget range made in the far east, in fact that would be doing the far east an injustice!
  18. stingrayPete1977
    I've seen a few up close and they were all great, mind you the last one I tried cost a grand more than a Gibson!
  19. stingrayPete1977
    I'd leave the ball in their court and say nothing else for now.
  20. stingrayPete1977
    They've never made a bass I've enjoyed playing, their current build quality is rubbish and Tokai have been building better versions of their flagship Les Pauls at all price points for years. Probably best to just sell T Shirts from now on.

    Last time this came up most of the people saying it's wrong that musicman fit them hadn't and wouldn't remove their own necks on various makes to check.
  22. stingrayPete1977
    I've got around 6 grands worth of Musicman basses here, they've all been shimmed in sunny california, lol.
  23. stingrayPete1977
    I can see how the poor design leaves that chunk of wood vulnerable. I'd point out to them that if you had caused the damage then you would have just bolted it back together and sent it back under the distance selling rules and they'd be non the wiser rather than highlighting the problem.
  24. stingrayPete1977
    I enjoy both, nailing something on the DB is great but I'd probably not play live 'upright' as often without the EUB, some gigs I just can't fit the big bass on the stage area, one regular gig doesn't have enough height! Lol.

    For example!
