  1. From what I can see in the pics that have been posted, I would say that the body does go with the neck. In particular the shape of the control cavity is familiar.
  2. From the pics it certainly looks identical to the 1990 japanese '62 reissue Precision I used to own. I can't see the strap buttons clearly, but it looks like they might have been swapped out for staplock buttons. I recall there was also a 'hootenanny' strap button on the back of the headstock. It also looks like someone took a dislike to the finish on the back of the neck on yours for some reason.
  3. Why Does It Hurt When I Pee — Frank Zappa
  4. I'm a big fan of my H2n, and use it to record every rehearsal and gig. I will probably wait for the next iteration of the h2 before thinking of upgrading, but the 32 bit float, usb-c, and bluetooth control look like worthwhile updates.
  5. I'm surprised that these have popped up at QatarCatarrh. I thought EastCoast was a house brand exclusive to Andertons.

  7. I have a blueburst one of these, its a great bass that I'd be using a lot more were it not for my three JMJ Mustangs. There's no need to replace the tuners — I use LaBella's danelectro-specific set of flatwounds and they are perfect. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/la-bella-760-fd-dan-electro-stainless-flats/
  8. I had some lovely Strawberry Conserve from Lidl on a Croissant this morning.
  9. Baby, Don't You Tear My Clothes — Little Richard
  10. I upgraded my main board to a spaceship power 50C which has the power pack built in and is powered via a kettle style power lead. I really like it and don't think there's anything similar on the market that touches it for the cost.
  11. I've used their guitar strings in custom guages when I had a tenor guitar and tenor banjo which I set up in chicago tuning. I'd only be able to try their bass strings if they ever made stainless steel flats in short & medium scale though.
  12. The Train Runs Over The Camel But It Is Derailed By The Gnat — The Flaming Lips
  13. No Spitting On The Bus — Steve Gibbons Band
  14. I don’t think that’ll help as I specifically wanted to fit the hipshot lollipop tuners. The wilkinsons currently fitted are as good a second choice as anything else.
  15. My competition orange squier classic vibe mustang is a lovely bass. It had some non-original crappy tuners on it when I bought it so I put on a set of nickel wilkinson tuners from a vintage pro thunderbird (after fitting gotoh GB640 res-o-lites to the thunderbird) which are the same design & footprint as the original squier tuners would have been, but of slightly heavier construction. The previous owner had also put in a pickup from a vintera mustang and I made a new loom with cts pots, switchcraft socket etc, and fitted a thumbrest. The wilkinsons work really well but I really like the hipshot lollipops on my JMJs so I have been keeping an eye out for some, and managed to get my hands on a set today. I took off the wilkinsons and replaced the ferrules, but when I laid out the hipshots on the headstock, the plates overlap by about 1mm or so. I don't want to bodge it by filing the tuner plates, so I guess I'll have to learn to love the wilkinsons.
