This is the one I sent him the link to, so presumably it was this one but I'll check 3011 CLEAR, GLOSSY https://osmouk.com/product/polyx-oil-original/
-
Ah righto I wasn't aware of the different types. I'll ask which one he used and let you know. It's holding up really well, but I suppose it would be good to know in case I want to give it another coat one day

Hi mate it was the glossy clear version, I think you can get a small tin for about £20. A bloke on TB used the satin version which looked good, too.

Pedants are us! Ok yours checks out, though the grille cloth needs replacing. The Mustang one - I just noticed it has a maple fretboard. Tsk tsk. How do they sleep at night. At least it has a wonky bridge -

I’ve seen T shirts like this before but always assumed that they were knock offs. This looks like a genuine Fender product - how can they get the date wrong?? -
I reckon everyone should chill out and stop making new stuff for a bit

Yeah kind of a fluke but it’s worked out quite nicely! -
Yeah that’s not going to work unfortunately. You need something specific like the Yamahas. Personally I think wired headphones like Beyer DT770 are best - honest non flattering sound which will give a good representation of your tone, long flexible and snag free cable.

These are meant to be quite good https://www.thomann.co.uk/yamaha_yh_wl500.htm

Those are super cool basses. You know when you can tell something plays well just by looking at it! Folllowing on with the basses on the carpet theme here’s my herd - I tried to take a picture like yours from above but I couldn’t get high enough! I’ve got the Musicmaster (fretted) pretty bang on, setup wise, now. Labella flats (.050 - .110) and some truss rod fun and it’s playing really nicely. -

I wonder how common these are with the original two cap electronics because the noise is low and the output is pretty strong. I’m using the same preamp settings as my Mustang and the level is only slightly less, and there’s no weakness in the bass register - quite the opposite. I wonder if the ‘weedy’ reputation is because most people play them through beginner rigs? Or used to? -

This just arrived! I’m letting it warm up before I do a bit of a setup and clean. I couldn’t resist plugging it in - it’s going to be great fun. The circuit is original and therefore very dark - about like a P bass with the tone at 20%, when the tone on the Musicmaster is at max! Due to this there’s very little rf noise. It’s getting some heavy flats this afternoon!
