I'll have the tempura squier, please...
-
Well, it has indeed arrived in one piece. No time to have a heap of time with it tonight but from the few minutes I've managed to spend with it I'm impressed. Really good fit and finish. Neck feels nice. Sounds good through headphones/USB interface. Loves to be played with the thumb and palm muted - big difference in the sound versus fingerstyle. Bonus - setup is decent out of the box, intonation sounds like it's decent, if not perfect then certainly good enough. I'll do a proper NBD thread, but it probably won't be until Friday - got another band rehearsal tomorrow night. But I can call this delivery saga finally complete, huzzah!

Well I'm afraid checking out the D5 will have to wait until later - got a band rehearsal tonight but before then Chico the cat needs meds administered and food doctored with other meds, plus reassurance/fusses afterwards. He's an old cat now and it looks like arthritis is setting in

Well I hope the outer packaging soaked up the worst of that! Find out later when I get home from work...

Curses, foiled!

Nailed it - utterly indistinguishable from the original...

Does it matter, as long as the one you've got in your hands is a good 'un?

I hear you, brother I have this bad boy in my office at work... Right, I'm off to make some Fender logos for the old passing off - no-one will suspect a thing, muhahahaha!

Bits and bobs bag? Eastpak Padded Double Backpack. Pockets everywhere. Fits all my stupid stuff and keeps it semi organised. Main compartment also has a pouch which is where flat things like spare strings and toolkit go.

It's a Christmas miracle! Thankfully, my package is out for delivery, so fingers crossed for an NBD today!

The plot thickens...

AWWWW YEAH

That's some quality toneplastic right there!

Butterscotch Sire D5 @ Thomann - £369 Butterscotch Sire D5 @ Andertons - £529 That's a bit more than my definition of "a few extra quid", so I'll be taking my chances with the international trade. And yes, it's been a monumental PITA so far as I have been documenting - but at least the muck ups thus far haven't been Thomann's fault. Honestly, apart from the ache of not having my shiny thing yet, it doesn't affect me in any other way - it's not like I don't have a bass to play in the meantime... Plus I'm Scottish... paying more than I strictly have to just doesn't compute!

Leave the door ajar and I'll come bounding through! You know how it works

Yes, I will go on a date with your Encore bass, I'm pretty general. Oh wait, that's generic. Oh well. In all seriousness though, the more important information would be - what currency is that? I would be amazed if anyone could tell you how old that bass is from that single photo, and to be honest I don't think it's that important. Regardless of when it was made, that particular bass will either be good or bad and the only way to tell is to get up close and personal with it. You won't be able to tell if it's good or bad based upon when it was made...

Hate you too, love...

Eh, don't over analyse it - I used to have a G&L Tribute L-2000 which I modified to give 27 different switch combinations (pickup select, series/single/parallel, passive/active/active with treble boost) plus 2 band passive EQ. Found one combo of settings I liked (both pickups, single (inner coils), passive) and left all the knobs at 10 for practically the whole time I owned it!

Turns out that CNC machines in China and Indonesia work in exactly the same way as CNC machines do in Mexico and the USA!

I'm not anti-slap AND I can't do it. Do I win a prize?

I had this exact model of Dymo when I was a kid...
-
That's ok, all the more for me

If the stock ones are satisfactory, those. If not then I'm pretty omnivorous - Gotoh, Hipshot, Schaller, Wilkinson, Grover - whatever fits in the hole with the appropriate style of button.
