Yeah amazingly good condition for an instrument of that age

I’d never even heard of these til this thread, just looked them up, certainly different - and def best in yellow.

That’s great, nice catch

Looks really good with the BF210 as well.

Hopefully better than originally expected, good news Jack

That is stunning

Yup, a packet of biscuits at Ashdown HQ is almost like one of those entry swipe cards, impossible to get in without one.

Same here

Sad that such decent, well built, and no doubt great playing & sounding instruments may well end up that way.

If they feel coated could be Elixirs, they use brass ends for their nickel rounds.

That really was very careless

I suppose having had both I found the 2 to be thicker & more powerful, the 3 to be more precise.

That’s interesting Martin, given how you’ve described your sound previously I’d have thought it would have been the 2-eq ‘Ray that would have fitted you more.

Coincidence that this comes out around the same time as the auction of his other gear?

Congrats, ideal cab for a P-bass with flats methinks.

I’ve already got mine, Fender US Standard Precision 2015. Any other bass I play, no matter how great, it never feels as good as that one does.

I’ve found that I “kill” EB strings very quickly, which is incredibly annoying as I find them great to play. But I’ve read others saying they last them ages so maybe it’s a body chemistry thing.

Ouch!

I remember reading in Sami Yaffas (of Hanoi Rocks) book where when they went to India they were expected to play for 6 hours.

Yep, look at the price of Aguilar/Mesa Boogie/GK etc, all great gear but all getting quite expensive.

Really sorry to hear this Jack. Whilst I’ve not had anything like that I’ve had to work on my playing style this year due arthritis in my left thumb. In a period of about 4 months I’ve managed to get from a place where it hurt pretty much every time I played to hardly any pain at all, so hang in there and once that bandage is off look to what you can do and how to improve it.

Well given that neither the bass nor the player (and especially not the amp if it’s an SVT) have anything to do with the sound the audience hear then why not expect the Motorbikin’ Womble to be holding down the low end behind the curtains, just like he supposedly did on guitar for The Pistols 🤣

Yep, was probably Chris Spedding behind the curtain using a Daisy Rock.
