  1. Yes that might might a difference because the tuners on a Mustang are full size heavy tuners.
  2. I play mainly P basses because they just fit perfectly with the music I play, but I do suffer from back and shoulder problems and have tried a few short scale basses over the years such as Mustangs, but although they were much lighter and easier to play because of their compact size, I just couldn't get on with the neck-dive and felt that I was holding the neck up all the time whilst playing. So my question is: If I stuck with them, would I eventually get used to them?
  3. Judging by the replies so far, I won't be needing an extension cab then? 😉
  4. Has anyone got the new Fender Rumble 800 Combo? I purchased one a few months ago but not long after, my band split up so I never got to gig it. It sounds great playing through it at home at low volume, but I'm interested to know what it sounds like in a live situation, so if anyone has one and has gigged it, what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.
  5. Does anyone know if all the SR necks are interchangeable? Cheers.
  6. Nice basses, which model is the four string in the right photo?
  7. Thanks for all the advice, I think I will try Mickyk's advice first. I've ordered the Magic Wood Furniture Touch Up Repair Markers Pens from Amazon, and they will also be handy for using on the wooden furniture I have around the home that have accumulated a few scratches over the years.
  8. The reason I want to get it fixed the best I can, is because I built the bass only a few months ago, the neck is a brand new Fender roasted maple Jazz neck, plus a brand new Fender body, and the rest of the parts are all brand new high-end parts. I'm gutted to have dinged it so soon! 😟
  9. It's not very deep but you can run your fingernail in it.
  10. I left my clip-on tuner on the headstock of my newly built bass when I put it back in the case after a rehearsal last week, and now I have a nasty scratch on it. Any tips for getting rid of it would be very much appreciated.
  11. Where on earth do you find TEN applicants? 🤔 We've been looking for a decent vocalist for the past three years, there just don't seem to be any out there around my area. 😟
  12. Just bought an Irish Bouzouki from Gus, and the whole transaction was smooth and pleasant all the way through. Highly recommended BassChatter. Deal with confidence.
  13. Don't know whether this has been done before, but whilst browsing YouTube today, I stumbled across Apache by the Shadows, now I'm old enough to remember it being released in 1960 but I was probably too young to take much notice of the bassline, all I took notice of at the time was Hank's guitar playing, but listening to the song today through headphones really made me appreciate just how good Jet's bassline was, very understated, but works perfectly.
  14. THREE Precision Bass Pickguards/Scratchplates. £15 for all three, Posted. These have all been used so they obviously show signs of wear, but they might be useful for anyone about to start a relic build, or wants a pickguard to match an older bass.
  15. Lakland Skyline 44-64 Black Pickguard/Scratchplate 3 Ply £15 Posted. This was taken from a Lakland Skyline 44-64 P Bass, it does have a few light scratches here and there, but it is a scratchplate, so it would have I guess. 😉
  16. Home Built Precision Bass (Fiesta Red) with JAZZ Neck Now £375 Collected. Now £395 Shipped. Please Note: Although it has a Fender decal on the headstock, THIS IS NOT A FENDER! I'm reluctantly moving on this bass because I'm just not playing enough these days, I'm no longer in a band, so I'm gradually moving my gear on. I built this a few year's ago, and it's always been my "goto" bass because it is such a joy to play, and it sounds great with the Fender Custom Shop 62 pickup installed. The nitro finish is a nice flat/matt type finish that does have a few dings here and there (as seen in the photos), but nothing too bad. You are welcome to come and try it for yourself at my home in Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Weighs 8lb 8oz and balances fine. Here are the specs: Northwest Guitars Precision Bass Body, Alder, originally Brown Sunburst, which was stripped and painted Fiesta Red with Nitrocellulose paint. Mighty Mite Rosewood Jazz Bass Neck, 38mm nut. Fender USA Tuners with a matching Fender Drop D installed. Fender Custom Shop 62 Pickup. Northwest Guitars Bridge (Gotoh 201 clone). CTS Pots 250k Audio Taper Solid Shaft. Sprague Orange Drop 0.047 Capacitor. I've added two new "outdoor photos" to give a truer reflection of the Fiesta Red, because the "indoor photos" make it look a darker and deeper red.
  17. They are great little amps, and being so compact, it used to be in a tiny little space next to my chair virtually unnoticed. Apparently, these are now unavailable in the Uk since Brexit, because of the increased import duties from Sweden.
  18. EBS Classic Session 30 Professional MKII Bass Combo 30 Watts - Designed and Developed Entirely By EBS Sweden £130 Posted. £120 Collected. I'm selling this great little amp which has only been used for practise at home. It is in great condition, and you are welcome to come and try it out at my home in Bridgnorth, Shropshire. The EBS Session Classic 30 is a great little combo that is the ideal choice for practice and small gigs. Its sturdy build quality means the Classic 30 will stand the test of time. EBS have made this amp with versatility in mind, including a balanced XLR output for performance and a headphone out for practice. If you want an affordable and versatile combo, look no further than the EBS Session Classic 30.

  19. My blood is boiling just reading this. 😡 I always believe in total equality, unless someone is doing something above and beyond what the other band members are doing. In your case, it seems that you are all taking gear and equipment along to the jam nights, so you should all get an equal split. Personally, if this happened to me, I would be asking some serious questions.
  20. I met Nick today to collect the Barefaced cab I purchased from him, he is a great guy who is very trustworthy and friendly. A real credit to the BassChat community. Cheers Nick.
