That’s a good call, the amount of times I’ve panicked at a gig when my RM500 didn’t work only for it to be this.

My mate had a similar issue, the case he was after had been updated and made slightly bigger, the newer version not fitting in his car boot. He saw an older version online and messaged the retailer for dimensions, specifically measuring the actual case in stock, not the manufacturers spec, which they agreed to do and replied with, and fortunately for him it was the old case sizes. He placed the order, received the case, which was the new version. So he returned it at their cost. Moral of the story, you can only trust in something when you have it and can test it yourself, the person on the other end of the phone/message could be a very helpful individual, willing and eager to help a customer. Or they could not.

I’ve got two remasters, Never Mind The Bollocks by The Sex Pistols, and Appetite for Destruction by Guns N Roses. NMTB has a bit more oomph to the bass and the guitars seem a tad sharper/less middy. AFD has better separation of the guitars so easier to tell which is Slash or Izzy, and the bass is boosted - a bit too much imo for listening at home but good for the car. But for me when listening at home I prefer the originals, I bought the remasters for the car and the added low end on both was good for that.

I put these on my US Fenders, they certainly work and they give me peace of mind when changing strings that I`m not going to end up with a rattler. I may well have one that I`m not using, if interested PM me and I`ll check when home from work.

Is the correct Basschat response 👍

I like them, they scream a decade more than any other bass imo, even more so than the original Precision basses.

I don’t have a wife/partner, if I did this would definitely be me.

The Custom Shop Fender Precision I played was one of those too - @Clarkys one - was simply superb.

Agree, think Jam, see Rickenbacker

I’ve had pretty much the full range from Squier Affinity up to Fender US Deluxe/Ultra. All were perfectly good, and imo ascended up to the US made ones. The Deluxe/Ultra, great basses they were, were imo Deluxe/Ultra due to the added active circuitry which I didn’t really use, so the peak for me was the US Standards. So if I had £1000/£1500 available to spend on a Fender I’d put the money to a US Standard, my fave range of those being the 2013-16 ones with Custom Shop pickups. Sure I could get a Mex Player or Vintera and change pickups and have a great bass, but for me the US Standards are the best. I’ve briefly played Custom Shop Fenders - a Precision and a Strat - and they were easily the best instruments I’ve ever played, though I don’t think I’d ever shell out that amount on an instrument.

Great looking bass

It must be irony, I don’t think he’s the best songwriter in the portaloo when he’s the only one in it

Just seen Olivia Rodrigo do a song called Brutal, which sounded a lot like Pump It Up by Elvis Costello, so did a google and turns out he was more than happy with it and said no legal action - fair play Elvis!

I enjoyed what I saw of Rod Stewarts set, and it looked like he and his band did too. Also thought Ronnie Wood seemed to be having more fun than he does with the Stones.

From what I’ve seen she certainly is. Didn’t know anything by her - or who she is tbh - but she is good.

Yeah great tone, going by the burst looked like a 70s Precision, but whatever, sounded great.

Nothing reduces the waistline quite like a habit!

I’ve been away this weekend so going to hopefully catch some of the action on catchup.

Looks to me like a Mexican made neck so your JMJ ones should fit fine.

Congrats, have to admit I’ve been tempted by these for a while

There are a good few threads on here about them, all very positive.

Shared back-line in many cases is cabs only/bring your own amp head, as a lot of bands don`t like others using their amps. I`ve been in originals bands for years and this is pretty much the norm, unless full back-line provided by the venue. Having a pre-amp pedal can work nicely if there is either an amp already there that you can use, or if not, good monitoring with the option of going straight to the PA. I tend to take both amp and pedal (my pre-amp/DI is a Behringer BDI21 which costs about £30 so not a huge outlay). I think given that you loved the Orange Terror go with that or the Little Bass Thing.

Just checked them out on YouTube, think you’re right there’s an extra energy in the live stuff. Singer has a great voice, very distinctive.

I also have another reason for not gigging my fave/best bass, as my back has got rotten I can now only play lighter weight short-scale basses, so a 10lb Precision doesn`t work for me anymore. But as said I play it stacks at home so it`s not being wasted, but even if I were no longer able to do that it has too much sentimental value to move on.

LFSys or Barefaced will be good, with LFSys being our very own @stevie
