    Well it`s a difficult one, I think if I got to the same position where I was playing a cheaper instrument live through necessity I`d still want to have my fave bass to play at home, as in all honesty I play far more at home than I do with the band. Similarly I would want to keep that one to record with as I just love the sound. My preference is for the US 2012-15 Series Fenders, but if I had to I`d be fine to use my Vintage Tony Butler live.

    I find it all rather bizarre, Kevin. I`ve now had a set on the go for at least 3 months and whilst they don`t sound brand new there is much more life/zing left in them than I would have on a set of Rotosounds after 3 weeks.

    Agree, Mark. When i saw a rather well-known punk band a few years back I was amazed at him "only" playing a Squier. And then I saw the amount of beer thrown at them throughout the set and realised maybe he didn`t want that happening to his more expensive instruments.

    Three: Seasons in The Sun by Terry Jacks - was the first time I recall noticing the sound of the bass, though in all fairness at the age of 6 or 7 at that point I didn`t know what the bass was yet, I just liked the sound. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen - as soon as I saw the "live" bit in the video I knew I wanted to be a musician. Pretty Vacant by The Sex Pistols - the energy from that song told me my musical direction, and as bass was pretty up-front in the mix for many of the punk bands I knew it was that that I wanted to play.

    When i worked on the Post Office counter there were certain forms of ID we could accept, and others that we couldn`t. I won`t explain why certain items were unacceptable, but there was often a way to apply common sense to a situation. Fair enough if there wasn`t then the rules were there, but said common sense not only made the customers day easier, it actually made your own day easier.

    I think learning to fret notes properly up and down a single string, then moving on to learning to do the same across the strings is a good place to start. If notes can be played without dead-fretting or buzzing, then go on to songs. And as mentioned, songs that the beginner likes, much more likely to keep interest that way, or certainly I did when I was learning.

    What a great smile

    Good point, forgot about that, it`s a Gotoh base-plate with the Fender saddles/screws

    Order a full size CTS pot online, will cost a couple of quid. See if it will fit, if so then I`d go with the KiOgon loom idea, quality easy to install products, same spec gear as what Fender put in their US basses. Yes you`ll have to probably widen the holes in the scratchplate but that`s not too difficult. I`d go for split-shaft pots rather than solid-shaft ones as well - sometimes the knobs on Squiers won`t fit the solid-shaft pots.

    Just shows that the often dismissed talents of Mr Clayton are in fact greater than many give him credit for.

    Must admit I thought it was Dave

    I`ve never had a bad incident of sales or purchases on here. There have been some where the comms haven`t been that great, but never anything where there was a problem.

    I really didn`t expect to see this one up. Great basses, and will have been made even better by the 62 pickup imo.

    Try @Ashdown Engineering on here

    I`ve seen a fair few pro bands using Squiers/Epiphones/Westones etc. I think it`s great that this happens, and I really wish my fave instruments to play weren`t US Precisions, but they just are, so I`ll have to live with it.

    I can`t see this myself, how can AC/DC not have been taking rock uphill, or Guns N Roses, both quality bands imo.

    Great price for an as-new great amp
  21. Lozz196
    Better to roll it in glitter.

    I`m not sure on this one, as I`ve never had a nitro finished bass, but I did have a Precision where the poly had been removed to bare wood, and then oiled and it did seem to have a more resonant sound than my others. but as I bought it like that I can`t really say if this was down to the removal of the poly, or the bass was like that all along. I do know that from having read about the RWs people seem to rave about the resonance of them so maybe this is a factor, though I`m not sure how - something to do with the slightly thinner bodies maybe?

    If I recall correctly one of these was the winner at the cab shootout, Chris? Can`t remember if it was your one though.
  24. Lozz196
    I`d even throw in a few hideous` as well

    I`ve had a few 2x12 set-ups, a Markbass 112 combo with 112 ext speaker, and a couple of Barefaced cabs, Super 12T and Big Twin II. In all cases as well as being ok for rehearsals they were fine for gigs. I never used them on massive stages but for regular pub sized venues fine, so I can`t think that you won`t find a 212 set-up not sufficient for rehearsing. I`ve also heard bassists using two Hartke Hydrive 112s at gigs and again, no problems.
