    [quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1454787603' post='2973041'] Just stumbled upon this old thread and nosied around a bit and discovered that this amp is now MINE!! I bought it last year off Silverfoxnik. And everything above about Thunderfunk amps is, in my opinion, absolutely true. What a wonderful amp. Paired with my Barefaced Big Baby 2 it's the best sounding rig I've ever owned. My Mesa Walkabout hasn't been used at all since the Thunderfunk arrived - that's how good the Thunderfunk is! (Very different sounding amps though, and both are brilliant.) Frank. [/quote] oddly enough I had the slightly more powerful thunderfunk and hated the preamp stage with active basses ... And ended up with a walkabout! Which goes to prove something. Out if interest does the big baby and walkabout pair at all well?

    I need to play a song tomorrow where the recorded version is played with a pick. For the life of me I can't get it- either pick or fingers
  4. LukeFRC
    yes please! I love that album (but don't have it)

    Love to try them four into my walkabout at 2ohms ... Mind you you are crazy Jose - if it were me I would have picked up another BB2!

    [quote name='pepe1001' timestamp='1454363743' post='2969077'] [/quote] looks awesome - one of my face amps was one of the old powersoft puma 1000 - it looks like this shares many features! What's the amp module?

    [quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1454022323' post='2965656'] I remember putting a ding into an otherwise mint American Standard Precision and being so annoyed with myself I punched myself in the face. At the 2nd or 3rd gig with my at-the-time-new Road Worn Precision, the singer knocked over my stand and the bass fell face-first onto the floor. I laughed. Half the appeal for me! [/quote] I've had one or two basses I've not played enough and sold precisely cos they were too "pristine". I used to ride around on a push bike with my Fender logo Squier JV on my back until Ricksfine53 pointed out it's value and rarity and politely asked me not to!

    hmmm another good review for these... I would have tended towards the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]1126 if I were buying but the s112 get so much love! [/font][/color]

    [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1451508070' post='2941146'] I always wondered why most bass manufacturers don't use bolts to secure the neck to the body or at least threaded inserts for the screws to screw into? And why not use bolts and threaded inserts for string trees too? Once it's come out once or twice then the screw hole is worn and you need to fill it. Pain in the arse! [/quote] you want to buy an Alpher bass then - they don't use screws at all!

    So yesterday I made the switch from Android to iOS ... it's an odd feeling... So I need something to replace my nice android guitar tuner I used. - what do you recommend? (and so thing thread is a little more interesting for everyone else... what other bass related apps should we all check out?)
  18. LukeFRC
    It's good. Never thought I would hear an argument why the NHS makes basses cheaper in it either!

    [quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1451758995' post='2943197'] Same here, I think they've been bought and he does not like the direction they are taking. The Bona thing may even be a result of a takeover too, Eich cannot honour prior arrangement due to new owner.... That could lead to a very upset Bona perhaps, his reaction was clearly very angry. [/quote] that and Markbass had made him a new amp...

    [quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1450649086' post='2934645'] My JV 44*** is 27/3/83 It's a Squier though. [/quote] thats about what i would have expected
  24. LukeFRC
    Wow i thought you had decided to keep this!

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1450445758' post='2932915'] The word inferior has been used a few times to differentiate this from the Squier JV. Important thing to establish is how does the construction of this particular model bass differ from the Squier to make it superior? [/quote]It all gets a bit confusing doesn't it. More contemporary Fender Japan stuff the domestic market stuff is more highly regarded than the Export market stuff. Early JV stuff the consensus you'll find on sites like 21frets is that the Export Squier stuff is more highly regarded than the domestic market stuff. BUT of course some of the domestic stuff would be better than the export Squiers - so that would be better constructed. But because of the rarity and collectorabily of the export JV Squiers, especially the early ones like the big fender logo "squier series" the "better bass" might worth less.... Probably they all came off the same production line with the same parts and just different finishes available domestically.... but who knows? Looks like a lovely bass, With the threads on the tuners and the relatively high serial I'm thinking it would be made at very end of 1982?
