Good name

I'm now wondering if the pup LED battery could power some side dots as well

I'll certainly check them out but not too bothered about the LEDs tbh. I'm toying with either a P-MM or using one or two quads. It will be a multi-scale 5 as well so I need to see how that would work out. Thanks for the information

Thanks. I'm trying to decide what pups to stick in a new build I'm planning

How are you finding the pickups? Being quads have you got a 'P' setting and it so how does it sound?

Half of our new songs come either from random requests from the crowd, or a song that the guitarist launches into on a whim. Others will be picked out when we hear them on the radio maybe. We don't add stuff that often, but then we pick songs from a repertoire of many years together. We never use a fixed set list - just call them out as we go. We have learnt a few proggy tracks recently - showing off really, but having a tasty guitarist with an ElectroHarmonics organ pedal lets us tackle some material that you won't hear other bands doing

Fabulous work!

I have been playing my Squier P-Bass Special for some time now. I'm loving the P thump which I've never had before this bass because of the baseball bat necks. However the P-Bass has a neck like a matchstick and is gorgeous to play. In fact I've a mind to get another if I see one on the board, to use aa a knockabout now that the other has become my main gigging bass. Made in Indonesia too.

It's karma for slapping

I just did an outside gig with my Rumble 500. It was in the pub car park with the amp about a metre away from a brick wall. I had my master volume on about 3 (around 9 o'clock) and it still sounded great. I don't use it for practice at home though

It's all about the band for me, and the bass rarely comes out of the case otherwise - unless I have stuff to learn

In Leicestershire £250-300. There are cheaper paying gigs to be had, but we won't do them

There is only one measure really - loud enough

Ah- so it's yours! Very nice bass, if a little on the weighty side. I hope you don't mind but I had a quick noodle when I popped round to see him not long after you dropped it off. It plays beautifully and is going to be stunning when Andy has finished Edit to say that Andy is also one of the three instructors at a guitar building course (more like a club really) at Rawlins College in Quorn on a Monday evening. I'm currently making a Telecaster guitar there - bass next! They have a page on Facebook, or I'll be happy to provide Andy's contact details via PM to anyone interested in joining

Is it no longer under warranty?

Good news

Have you got much to play with in the control recess to tidy it up?

Trio FTW

I think I'd be looking at keyboard amps to ensure no "colouration" of the tone

You can buy very narrow masking tape that makes masking binding a lot easier. As said earlier, removing and refitting isn't an option. You could however remove it and fit new binding, although that might be a little fiddly (depending on your DIY skills)

I hope you packed it well

Have a look at ProjectGuitar.com They have a fret finder app that will calculate your fret positions for you and produce a pdf template if you want. There are also lots of build diaries with plenty of pictures (including the Telecaster guitar I'm building) - where lots of people have cut their fret slots using various techniques

If the conversion is reversible why not?

I've just PMed someone that might be interested

My old Peavey combo was getting a bit, erm... old. I was changing anyway and needed something that would fit in the boot of my car. Why would I NOT choose a modern lightweight replacement?
