But then we’d only have old vintage instruments to lust after. Yep, fair point 🤣

A few years back I had a Markbass 212, can`t remember the model number but it was a very good sounding cab, and as expected, nice and light/portable. Worth checking out if one comes up.

Might well drag myself along this year

Agree, one of my completely rational hatreds is Tenacious D

Back in the day I`d often go on stage having had at least 6 or 7 pints. In fairness to myself I was a very big drinker at that point so although my playing wouldn`t have been spot on it wouldn`t have been atrocious either. The problem was that we were all like this, so although we weren`t bad individually, collectively we were dreadful when we were all on it.

Many years back a mate of mine downed a bottle of Jack Daniels on stage for maximum rock n roll effect - it actually contained apple juice.

I bet the local pizza place was grateful 🤣

I found that on guitar, I prefer to get the sound/gain from lower wound pickups cranked more, rather than higher wound cranked less. Gibson SG for example, I prefer the 490T pickups to the 498T, just sounds better to me.

Ashdown to make a combo that rivals the Fender Rumble 500 & 800, both in power and size/weight.

Catty McCatface surely?

Entirely reasonable

Elixir should start making short scale strings.

It’s My Life by Bon Jovi, as mentioned above is also a pretty decent bassline to be fair

Right, so assuming those pickups follow the same route as the Precision then they’re scooping mids, so it’s these you’re needing to add in. In your position I’d look at the Fender Pure Vintage 74 Jazz pickups, I had a set in a Squier 77 Jazz and they really improved it.

What year is the Jazz? The series it`s part of can make a fair bit of difference. If the Jazzes follow Precisions in similarity: 2008-12 - very scooped 2013 - 16 - warm, rich bottom end, a tad scooped, and sound very much like Toneriders
