    My goodness...wonder if it has reverse neck dive - neck lift maybe?

    I've owned the following Ps: Sandberg California VS Fenders: 1964, 1978/79, MIM 2005, MIM Classic 50s, MIM Roadworn 50s, 2016 CS relic, CS Dusty Hill gold top Limelight Bass Centre Bruce Thomas Profile Vintage Tony Butler signature ...and have enjoyed them all. But it is the last two that I still own, because of the necks being just right for me. If I found another P with a perfect neck but dodgy pickup then I would happily swap out the pup and loom, e.g. for a Fender "Vintage P bass" or a Limelight if available. So neck profile and fretwork are most important for me, plus of course weight. The fact they were also the cheapest from that list is a bonus!

    Truly beautiful!! Bet it sounds superb with the East pre too

    Mine's not even close - I play Ps!

    That sucks

    What a beauty! Is this a Tal Wilkenfeld signature model which is no longer made by Sadowsky..?

    Welcome from up the road in Tonbridge Steve!

    I think this would fit very well in a 'Playing Live' section, which would cover PA reviews, setup tips, IEMs vs monitors etc plus other recommendations for gigs: how to ensure you get paid, should you lend kit, safe power setup at pubs and so forth...

    One Way Street - Nine Below Zero Runaway Baby - Bruno Mars Back in the USSR - Beatles ...always give me a smile when I see they are next on the setlist. And some I love playing in isolation but can be cramp-inducing: Treat Her Right at battle speed, and What'd I Say (Ray Charles).

    These are the absolute business! The neck profile and satin coating make for the silkiest P outside of custom shop prices, and the pickup is simply mighty. So good I bought it twice! GLWTS

    Cheers Jazzyvee - it is indeed hugely versatile! And...bump

    Brian bought my Ibanez SRX 505 - great communication throughout, easy payment and let me know when it arrived. A fine transaction, many thanks Brian!

    That look brilliant! Sadly I'm not quite near enough...love that Lalo Schifrin groove . Good luck!

    For sale only: Alembic SF-2 Bass Superfilter, £600 Just bought from here, along with the superb F1-X rack pre. Hugely versatile 2-channel low/band/high pass filters with independent resonance gain at the filter cut-off frequency. Gives 2-channel plus dry blend mixing - would love to keep but I really need funds for a cab! Can be run as a preamp or in the effects loop of your existing pre (or before it, or after it!) I'll add some links tomorrow; meanwhile this is fully working, the odd scratch per pics, and comes with UK PSU and a manual. Postage at £10 in UK.

    Ace of Spades - Link Wray and his Raymen (rockabilly, 1966), O.V. Wright (funk, 1970), Speed Freak (pop, 1971) Heavy Joker (Jazz/rock, 1976), Southfork Bluesgrass Band (I'm guessing bluesgrass, 1979), Motörhead (easy listening, 1980) Silversurfer (Techno, 2006) Jacob Bellens ('alt rock', 2016) Other popular playing card song titles include 'The Joker' and 'Queen of Hearts', apparently.

    Me too - although in my case it's been a 30 year semi-succesful effort to play this:

    My 2018 Bruce Thomas was fantastic, I miss it and will buy another. Pickguard cut seemed fine to me, and pole alignment can be seen here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/333115-sold-bass-centre-bruce-thomas-profile-p-bass/ I've owned a '64 P, a Custom Shop '64, a Limelight P and the Bruce Thomas; and they were all pole-aligned slightly differently and all sounded superb. But the BT was the best value

    Great track Si - I love that tone and it sits very well in that mix, very tempted by these now. I just hope the picture above is not to scale!
  20. Kevsy71
    Love that look Pawel - the cream pup covers are a great touch!

    Lightweight bump (a nudge perhaps?)
  22. Kevsy71
    Indeed Sir! Thanks for posting your video of it 40mm - now added to description, thanks!
