i did used to feel that way about sunburst, long ago. I dont really care now but I dont have any sunburst basses. I do have a cherry sunburst Les Paul though, which is really nice Dots, no problem but lined fretless? Not for me 😀

I can't eat very much before a gig because I sing. It really affects my breathing, so a small bite to eat about 6pm. I'll finish my dinner when I get home, usually it's a chilli. When I was doing gigs away from home (with the Police tribute) it was quite awkward. I often didnt eat at all before the gig but there was always good snacks afterwards back at the hotel. Cold meats like salami, olives, pork pie, crisps and red wine

I have a P bass with the original p bass pickup by fender Model #: 0992046000 it sounds awesome, so worth considering too IMO (it's also cheaper)

I saw MANGETOUT on FB yesterday and some one said it's MAN GET OUT!! 🤣🤣

my PF500 was never underpowered. Fab amp, fab sound. I'm surprised that you find it underpowered (unless you have a super light touch, which I don't) Maybe, increase the input gain a little

I can't believe its 40 years since the Squier thing started. I had only just started playing in 1981. I remember these coming out and how everybody raved about them 40 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a set of these on a P bass but since I moved house I don't have any bass amps with me (still in storage) so I dont know how they sound. They feel ok, maybe a bit stiff but I only really play my JMJ mustang these days. I'l bring my BLX-80 home soon and try it out

Focus estate Personally I have a ford galaxy

I agree with this. I use a 500 watt Ashdown Rootmaster through a small mark bass 1x15 and sometimes I add a small MB 2x10. Even works outside with a little PA support

as the Saturday afternoon bass slapping monster arrives, it'll all be tappity tappity tappity!! Happy days

this is the second edition watch. I've ordered one, I'm a bit of a Brian May fan and I regularly gig with a Red Special in my 80s duo. Interest free credit over 3 years, won't even notice the monthly payment

welcome back

simply, yes. I go to guitar shops and look bt rarely try anything

I've only just spotted the Ginger one

I do like the 3D bridge. My original black P bass had one but I swapped it out to a BBOT. Then when I bought the '73, I put the 3D on it and have grown to love the profile. I have no idea how it affects the sound because I changed it 30 years ago and back then, I couldn't really tell

that looks fab

yep I hoped she'd look up but she didn't

personally I'd keep the MM and the '73 as the '73 will continue to go up in value. Or just keep them all, if you don't need the money and have the space, keep 'em

just finished putting this together. jazz neck, custom shop 62 pickup. 3D bridge. Flats Haven't plugged it in yet. my first p bass looked like this, includinf the schaller bridge. It's a nice weight, about 4kg I reckon. Northwest body and neck, sourced from here

Welcome to you from River in Kent. No question is a silly question here (except when someone says 'do I need another bass'...................YES) obvious really

Good luck with the move, going anywhere exotic? Addisham, Aylesham, Wingham perhaps!!😁
