  1. Yeah, sorry to hear that - it's happened to me once or twice but not with UPS. As with spongebob I've only had good experience with UPS/Interparcel (over 10 or so bass transactions)
  2. Thanks for posting these Y is the most refined to my ears, VM would cut through nicely (no surprise), AN has a nice growl. All decent tones to be honest!
  3. I had one on an MM Reflex - so easy to fine tune the action, the lowest I've managed on any bass thus far...
  4. The Ox's menacing bass breaks in My Generation; Roger Glover's demented banshee howl in Fireball; and Lemmy's restarts in Overkill, have given me thrills and chills for over 30 years. But Cliff Burton's solo in Orion (also the intro) is for me, perfect.
  5. Just fixed my old Fender Rumble 150! Had to swap the input socket for the headphone socket because I couldn't source a new one...and use A500K pots because I couldn't find the exact A250Ks needed. A doddle to solder, but a nightmare to get the head back in the cab....!

  6. Played a scorching beer festival set last week with the Bruce Thomas Profile - very slight tuning adjustment, but it was the neck finish that saved the day. No tackiness at all despite the near 30° heat! Love it.
  7. I sold Tom an Ampeg V4B from the UK to the Czech Republic. The whole transaction was very straightforward, Tom kept in communication the whole time, paid and arranged the courier to pick up from me. A recommended international buyer, welcome to Basschat Tom
  8. Oops well spotted 😁 I'll have a word...I really hope it's a typo and not a homebrew tribute!
  9. Both my and my son's bands are on the bill for this Saturday at the Hildenborough 'Party in our Park', near Tonbridge in Kent. In aid of the Scouts, with a proper stage and PA from a team who do the major festivals! The last two years have been a great family day out, with beers, BBQ, bouncy castle (hopefully not in that order). Say hi if you come along, I'm on last with the Expändables, with the first major outing for my Bruce Thomas Profile bass
  10. Now I come to think of it, I had a MIM P with those specs a few years ago! Cracking bass and very light, sounded terrific with flats.
  11. I used to do the same as Lozz above, which works great. Now I leave it wide open and switch between an 'SVT' and 'B15' present on my Sansamp VT. When playing live I'm less likely to forget which tone I'm on when there's a glowing red light!
  12. Any of the Indian or Pakistani Elvis tributes that go by 'Patelvis' Also 'Mike and Tina Turner'
  13. Eh?! That really is an odd request for a dance party, both tempo and lyrics: "I spill my tea - oh silly me" isn't quite "boom, boom shake shake the room", is it?
  14. GIve Maruszczyk or Sandberg a look, they can make a lovely custom for you at a good price https://public-peace.de/configurator/jake-c http://www.configurator.sandberg-guitars.de/ In both cases you can ask for extra options too.
  15. 'Encore!' always strikes me as a very odd request....
  16. Any idea how Wal etc. insure their shipments for the full amount - would that be possible with a business account, for example? And I guess it's possible to buy 3rd party insurance (i.e. not the courier's own insurance) up to the full value, although I've not tried that - anyone with experience of that...?
  17. Agreed! Close to Ocean Turquoise, but not quite...looks superb with the maple neck. If I didn't have an OTM Jazz I'd get one of these just for that colour
  18. Love that tiramisu swirl pickguard ❤️
  19. Just sold Karl a CS Precision, a very straightforward and enjoyable transaction with a Basschat legend - I'm delighted it's gone to a great home! Cheers Karl
  20. Bass Centre Bruce Thomas Profile bass - it's a 41mm nut but a slender neck profile (hence the name) with a smooth (not glossy) neck finish. Well worth an audition at £495 http://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/bruce-thomas-profile.html Edit: sorry, just spotted you were after PJ. They also do the Norman Watt-Roy tribute PJ but it's a 43mm nut: http://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/the-bass-centre-rhythm-stick-rosewood.html
