Spare a thought for the poor old mod team.

Gives you the choice of standard jack plug or the more modern Neutrik speakon type. Think that's all it is.

Evening Rich. Isn't it more of a Jazz body on the Hoppus? If so, not necessarily heavier but the weight is distributed differently, well that's been my experience with some Jazz bodies. Good instruments though and certainly pack a punch. I would be tempted by Walbassists P bass as well. I guess that would be the one for me, if I were looking for a keeper. Also I think it will age in a pleasing fashion with that finish.

I've just ordered a set of these; [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd6Ih-fyQ1o[/media] http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F54Y6GU/ref=s9_hps_bw_g23_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=15QRB98HRCSY3ETWSBGK&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=449059267&pf_rd_i=4085751

So glad to see it back home. Good on Dave for being such a fine custodian.

Good find.

Don't do it, just buy a headless. I suspect otherwise you will just end up with a broken bass Welcome to the site.

Much to my disappointment, "So Lonely" has recently been dropped from our set. A damned weird decision given that it always seemed to be well received

If you were accompanying a whole lot of youngsters playing guitars, it could just have been that they were taking up a lot of your sonic space. A few years back I was in a band that had a very open door policy with guitarists (it was HELL), they came and went, sometimes not enough went and we would be gigging with five of the buggers, all strumming away and trying to out do each other. It gave me some eq'ing challenges.

[/quote] Well at the weekend I decided it had to be a Wal I actually have a very nice fretted P bass here, that I put together a couple of years back. I'm not gigging it these days, so what I'm thinking is, get myself a fretless neck for it. That way it won't be a costly exercise and if I don't get on with it, I can just swap the necks back and sell the fretless one again. If I do get on with the whole fretless thing, then it will be back to plan A and find a Wal.

There might be one of the Bass Chat regional bass bashes that you could get along to, with fair chance of encountering a Wal.

I've also found myself hankering for a fretless of late. Just when I thought I was all GAS free

No one is going to mock you for having a Squier, they are generally well regarded around these parts. I've used a Shuttle 6 for the last few years with a pair of Mark Bass 2 x 10"s. Powerful, versatile (in that one cab is enough for rehearsals) and lightweight.

When I was gigging a Jazz a few years back an MXR M80 pedal did the trick and supplied all the oomph I desired

My 1 metre OBBM cables are long enough when stacking my two MB 2 x 10"s vertically, if I "daisy chain" the cabs.
