Dazed

Strange that the bass that won has a reversed p in a slightly non stock location, was it the jazz bodied hoppus version? Surely it's not a true Precision?

Yes there will be customs and vat

Yum! Think I might be inclined to try the parchment, to go with the blocks and binding.

Careful on that cool and classic site. It's littered with Limelights, and they're awesome!!! Best advice I could give is, play as many as you can, any one of them could be 'your' one but not mine. Don't get bogged down in what year era brand price. It's all sonically irrelevant.

Don't sign nuttin!! It's a trap

Thanks. Not heard them for years.

How would a warwick streamer stage 1 4 string line up in P bass land ? I like Warwicks I ( having finally caught up with everyone now ) appreciate a nice Precision It has a split coil at the neck Any P owners have a Streamer to compare to?

That's a credit to Mr C! Nice playing Eude thanks for the links,

Thanks Paul, Ive been playing on (25 years) and off (10 years) from the age of 10 until well now really. Ive gone through the stages of it being the most important thing in life to having zero interest and, almost, back again. I have the luxury of time to throw at it if I feel like, and I have been very lucky to own lots of basses and still do. I enjoy looking around and being surrounded by them. Its just the past 4 or 5 months I've had no access to them and have been using a humble Precision and nothing else. I've really enjoyed it, the novelty of being forced into playing it for everything is something I haven't really done since I first started, when there wasn't a choice because I only had one bass and concentrated on playing it. Then a couple of years ago, I started playing again and I found Basschat. My collection of 2 (!!) basses that had done me fine for the previous 20 years suddenly needed company, and lots of it……… sound familiar? It has since crossed my mind and not for the first time, that instead of having this collection that only rarely gets used, other than the favourites, to get rid of them and settle on one. Or two. Or three……. See thats how it started last time! Now I'm even looking at 7 strings!! I have come to realise that I suffer with GAS terribly and once the newly acquired bass lands, its starts over again. Basschat is the monkey on my shoulder. Pointing and whooping at all the precious'is

How do it sound tho? Update please

It would be easier to list what I don't have urges for *sigh* Is it wrong to have an overwhelming interest in a 7 string bass? Is that even still a bass……….

What he said ^^^ Congrats, you do indeed have a lovely pair

Cracking! I'm getting more sold on the idea of a 7 string. I can't play guitar for toffee though so probably lost on me despite all those childhood guitar lessons, ( sorry Mr Pegg )

Well thanks folks. You're as undecided as I am I don't know, the idea of owning one appeals but will it be another bit of wood getting dusty and then is a pain to get rid of. Hmmm Yes the beauty of an unlined lined fretless board isn't lost on me, that's part of the wanty-ness. The reality soon kicks in tho once I start making a godawful racket with it! For the past 4 months I've been playing a 4 string p bass almost exclusively, which I'm really enjoying. However whatever bass I use after a while I'm always missing something that it doesn't have - the bite of a single coil J or fretless or active trickery. In my head I want to believe 'the one' is out there but maybe that's just more wanting to think there is a one bass to rule them all, when really there actually isn't. Everything is always a sacrifice. Ho hum So any happy fretless 6 owners care to chime in? I'm almost convinced I'd need to shelve everything else and do some long term shedding to get the intonation under control.

I am also led to believe the lowest string on a standard 6er is more lower end than on a standard 4

Dude does Alan work for you? How many ACGs is that now. Obviously only 2 for the purposes of domestic harmony
