It was the most unprecedented thing to happen in 2020

out of interest - did it make a big difference to the amount of stuff the mods had to get involved in?

I got some Edifier H850 last year for Christmas - turned up broken in the same place yours were. Ebay seller refunded and didn't want them back. I ended up fixing with A LOT of electrical tape and they sound ok. Ended up getting some secondhand AKG K-240-DF which I really like but are 600 ohms so had to buy a wee mixing desk to power them!

Oh - I hope not - I’ve seen him advertising a fair bit of stuff on Facebook did you get tracking info off him?

from memory of reading it was only the first batch of Strats. If you are making something overseas for the first time and need a proof of concept then getting your most popular model with US pups so you can compare construction like for like isn't an awful idea

Oddly I preferred it with a different pickup in it. If I had known what I know now, and had the finances I enjoy now rather than when I sold it, I would have kept it and put a different pickup in it. But oh well

£220 - £1500 is 680% rise An original 1962 Jazz would be more than £5,500 I think...

its a good wee shop too (if it's the one next to Mono)

Here’s a good example of why JVs are well regarded too - mythology as far as I know it was only the first batch of strays that got US pickups. All the rest were Japanese. Which isn’t a problem in my book, but you can see loads of domestic late serial number JV guitars sold claiming to have US hardwear and pickups. with mythologising it’s also got “JV” being known with the division between domestic and export models being blurred. that said JV squiers are great instruments. The early Fender logo Squier series ones are genuine collectors items as there were so few made- so the scarcity has driven the price of them up a load- and then if a fender logo Squier series one is selling at £1k, why would a Squier logo One made the next week be worth £300 still? also the context of fender prices has gone up massively across the board recently. If a Late 70s P bass is selling for £2k and early 70s for £3k and CBS era 60s refinished For £3.5-4.5k ... why shouldn’t a great Fender bass from the 1982-3 made in Japan make £1k?

no - turns out I was thinking of the guitars which were made in Japan, and the Musicmaster in China http://www.squierwiki.com/Vista-Series

wasn't the vista series early 90's Japanese or am I thinking of something else?

intentional pun?

And then spend the next 5+ years repeatedly passive aggressively telling the internet how you refused the cheque with its high papercut-risk corners?

New bass day: if you’ve got it, flaunt it

Nice crotch shot on the first video Andy.

you need to delete this quick - if there is a "magic number" you will have to sell something before you buy!

Mrs Travis “Andy you need to stop buying so many basses, look at our accounts/lack of space” Andy “it’s ok we’ve just about enough, and we have to think of Sultan too - he needs us. I Once left it a couple of months and he was crying tears of happiness when I saw him next.”

The best bass I think I ever played was a stingray, @mark_irs brown pre-eb. That thing was amazing. otherwise I’ve played a load of stingrays and they have been somewhere between nice and alright. The Stingray Special I tried when they first came out though was a different level and very enjoyable to play and had a very nice even musical response. that doesn’t really add much in way of comparison but based on just trying that one example I would buy one of them!

the good thing is that we've got Andy to be your Guiana pig

sorry - not free, pay as you want https://shift-line.com/irpackbass

So... wals have essentially a carbon core and wood around? If Vigier ended up with their 90/10 carbon necks ... and Wal. also ... that could explain a bit off what the Wal sounds is made up off!

well done! - Forgive my ignorance, what's the dark grey stuff in the neck?

this is going to get expensive...
