I've got one that I don't use. It's pretty good but getting a lighter bass was a far better option.

That's not bad! Nice price too!

As it says. The official Fender one is too red for me. Something darker would be nice.

Depends - are you from Norfolk?

I like Bargain Hunt. It's obviously made up and it wouldn't surprise me if the items have been placed in the shops by the production team (just like the US Storage Wars type things) but I don't care. I like seeing the things they "discover."

I got a P bass about 6 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago I bought another one. I was looking for a good Duck Dunn sound. Didn't like them at all with rounds - even for rock / metal. Put on some flats and took it to my big band rehearsal... There it was - that great old Stax / Motown sort of tone. The sort of thing I have hated for decades. But there's no doubt for the music I gig now, it is perfect. I'm still disgusted with myself though. (PS - the Greasebucket circuit is shite. Doesn't get as thumpy as a trad tone control set up. So they will be getting modded).

Thank you!

I liked the look of them too - but that money for a passive P bass? Nah.

Nice. Ive got a bunch of lollipop sticks and want to give this a try. Where did you get the foam from?

Aguilar 60s wind. Superb pickup. Meaty, thick, punchy, and reacts very well to the tone control

Get a jazz neck for it.

It's very good. As it happens the PJ-Ray now has flats on it so I tend to use the P pickup alone for my Big Band gig. The Blade has a good sound and is quite bright. In hindsight it might have been better to go for the Warm version instead, but as I've got 2 tone controls on the bass I can knock it back a bit that way. I'd happily have them in other basses.

They've put the P pickup in the wrong way! Send it back!

I’ve had their guitar cabs. Very good quality. They do supply speakers now. But they are a trad build and heavy.

The bass now has Hipshot Ultralites on it and it now weighs only just over 7.5lb And TI Flats. I tried rounds but on a Precision it's not what I'm looking for. The flats sounds perfect.

Back in stock in Amazon.

Not to mention that if an insurance payout was needed a case and a box is often demanded by the courier. Not that this was sent with any insurance - Royal Mail 48 service. £100 cover loss and damage only! Still - I've had a play on my lunch break and it sounds good and seems well set up. I think the strings are 45-105 which are a bit heavy for me as I use 40s so I've ordered some. The bass is immaculate - hardly looks played at all.

It seems to be ok - It's actually in tune! And a smidge under 8lb! I'm guessing about I'll save another third of a pound when I get some Hipshots on it too.

That's how it arrived... No external box. Scared to open it!

I play 4 and 5. i don’t want to have to click twice! too lazy for that!

The home built ones - can you divulge where you got the bits and how you managed to get them light enough? I've never built a bass before, I quite fancy that.
