I'm a minimalist in general. I prefer design to be concise and compact. I'm not overly impressed with the bridge which hints at 60s design rather than being contemporary. -

Q: are buyers of the JMJ replacing the bridge? -
So many positive and clearly heart felt messages here. RIP

Regularly see this listed in the wanted thread so... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145208806929?hash=item21cf1e8e11:g:Y7MAAOSwUQBkt6Ac&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4ChvAXGtF8bFMG%2BqjqeZAmzpNiLfzYml4nO%2BtS%2Fzriaag4akQwp0sbKlJeO9MD%2BdUpc%2Fcmnr7lIgyEomaDe2iUnMs3wdeh2klwja%2B2pzWlUdjns8HEHxugCUNkU4oNgq%2FyHpircxczOytQR3bZuEhyX6cRrh8hcb2zKI85cLUSoVSM0EeVR6cfbB%2FxIFWkR4DEr7trn0vJgdDzclXnYa2O9WM2gDU8KqBnCY57LY3GsLlp%2F5ZDdgrt0gaJEWk6DaUfhFFlTGrE7uTJo3WK9IeGrcJIm3dcnB64aNRpV7XxWO|tkp%3ABk9SR8aroLeyYg

Completely understand not wanting to do covers - there are some songs which drive me mental and I can't bring myself to play. Speaking to other musicians, most play covers out of frustration but would love to do originals. Finding the right people to do what that can be really maddening though.

Always, yet never, surprised by Alan's creations - always top notch whatever model you choose.

Secondhand Squier Standards can be found in your budget - you get a PJ configuration in a "classic" style. Can't go wrong. Various Yamahas, Sires, G&Ls and even Bass Collection Nanyos will be available within your price range if you shop around.

I'm surprised with the amount of "looks don't matter" comments TBH. There are lots of basses that I wouldn't be seen dead with, irrespective of how well they play or sound. Test after test has shown that most people can't tell what bass makes what noise - a test at one of the SE Bashes showed that many of us couldn't even identify our own basses. Joe Public certainly can't tell.

Spector Tonepump swap for a Aguilar OBP2 TK
TheGreek replied to TheGreek's topic in Repairs and Technical
Collected the bass earlier. Mal's hands were swollen as a result of arthritis so he's calling it a day. I'm now in a position where I need to either find someone else or have a go myself. -

Any credit should go to @Jabba_the_gut. Many BCers will have seen and played some of his creations at Bass Bashes around the country. PM @Frank Blank for photos of the TWO he has. Just greedy if you ask me. -
I had to collect my Spector from Mal Crawley in Stevenage today. Arthritis in his hands has forced him to stop repairing Amps, etc. I'd just like to send my thanks to Mal for the work he's done for me in the past.

For those of you who thought it was me, sorry to disappoint.
