  1. You should be able to pick up a secondhand Fender PJ Player mustang for £500.
  2. Maybe take away the loopholes that enable billionaires to hoard their wealth whilst paying ignorant flagsh@ggers to spread the idea that immigrants are to blame for all of the problems they themselves have caused, but don't want to help solve.

  6. A fret rocker doesn't do the same job as a fret kisser. They look similar, however the fret kisser has a recessed diamond file in the centre of each edge.
  7. Okay - I choose the bass, which is "the best" due to all of the new components I used to rebuild it into a new bass.
  8. Best purchases were the Fender Precision to Jazz conversion neck, EB cobalt flatwounds, Hipshot lollipop tuners, ultra heavy knurled callaghan knobs, and EMG GZR P Pickup I used to transform my long-neglected unlined fretless bitza Precision into my favourite long scale bass to play. Worst buy was probably the HX FX pedal I bought several months ago, which I'm sure is an excellent piece of kit, but I've realised I don't really need it and haven't got around to actually trying to use it.
  9. It has been confirmed on Phillip McKnight’s podcast that FMIC (Fender) has bought G&L.

  14. Thanks again — I'll get a set ordered.
  15. Thanks, that is very reassuring. Do you remember whether you cut them, or were able to use them full length?
  16. Has anyone tried cobalt flats on a mustang bass? I've recently put a set of short scale cobalt flats on a PJ player mustang and I like them a lot. This 30" set fitted perfectly as the bridge is a toploader. Also I use the 2815 set: 40-60-70-95 on my thunderbirds, a precision and my rickenbacker. If EB made a 32" scale set I'd get a set to try on one of my JMJs, however as they don't make a suitable set, I would need to use a long scale set. I'm very wary of the excessive bending on the wound part causing trouble, but I had been worried about using any long scale flats on a short scale bass until I saw that Fender factory fitted their own long scale flats on the JMJ as standard. Has anyone already tried using long scale cobalt flats on a string-thru mustang? If I do try this I'll probably put a new set on one of my thunderbirds and reuse the old set on the mustang so I don't wreck a new set of £40+ strings.

  20. no, get a mustang instead — they’re like a precision but more so.

  24. A couple of years ago I bought a vintera telecaster custom from cash converters with the intention to flip it as it was priced well below what they would normally go for. I really didn't need another guitar, having bought myself a vintera strat not long before, so I thought I'd have some fun playing it for a month or two then get back what I paid for it plus a little bonus. Unfortunately it is such a good guitar, I can't bring myself to sell it.
