    Our AV guy said “Our PTZ was £1200. I think you can get PTZs that cheap (he’s referring to the £300) but they are more glorified webcams I believe rather than straight hdmi or SDI video cameras. Mind you there are always bargains to be had on more expensive models”

    I’ll ask our guy what we use. It’s definitely a wall mounted PTZ.

    Paul purchased my Squier Vintage Modified P Bass and was great to deal with. Good comms, fast payment and convenient handover. Highly recommended. Thanks Paul and enjoy the bass!! David

    Yeah 9lb 10z is pretty good for these - really nice solid feel, plus with that 35” scale - lovely !
  5. Risk101
    I would tend to agree having also owned both versions - particularly nice quilted maple top on this one. What does it weigh?
  6. Risk101
    Wow - featherweight!! Looks lovely. GLWTS !

    I’ll be playing the organ (badly!) at the village Anglican today. @IanA Will your service be live-streamed/recorded? I’d like to see that.
  8. Risk101
    Yes! Really like that song and it gives lots of flexibility on the bass to add some interesting fills! Chorus “1B” has a nice added Cm (if you’re in Bb!). Timing is everything with this one!
  9. Risk101
    Thanks - yes, the sound is phenomenal - just what you want from a P!

    Nice bassline as you say - I’ve always shied away from the pick personally cos it’s much harder to control and to mute strings whilst playing and I don’t enjoy the percussive tone as much as fingerstyle - but they all have a place I suppose! Is the fret thingy at the headstock to help muting? Great playing!

    Thanks for sharing this - all came across really well and nicely put together. Great team effort!

    Long story short, “must have” rare bass comes up for sale, is purchased, quota exceeded, this must go! Squier Vintage Modified Precision 5 string. (No idea why they called them “modified”!). Top notch condition, Olympic white, 34” scale, weighs 4.2kg” 18/19mm string spacing. Made by Cort in Indonesia. looking to recover the bargain £260 it cost. Will throw in Fender strap. Comes in “get it home” tatty unpadded gig bag or you can have it in a Thomann plush hard case (pictured) for an extra £40 (new price £79). Collection from near Ongar in Essex or I can bring into London, or meet up around M25 north-east quarter (J26/27/28/29) Further pics on request via PM David

    So this came up, and having sold mine a few years back and regretted it, I took the plunge. The 5ers are very rare as I think they were about 50 units out of the total of 300 worldwide. I’d forgotten what a good “P Bass” sound you get from the front pickup, and also how user-friendly the 3 band MEC EQ is with active/passive switching and coil tap on the “twin-jazz” bridge pickup. More importantly for me, the bass, mid, treble sweeps make it easy to get what you want. Oh and like all Dirty Blondes it’s pretty light at 8lb 2oz with no chambering! Condition really good for a 17 year old bass, set up pretty good (only slight tweaks to the “just a nut” and 3d locking bridge needed. Frets and fretboard could do with a good clean but I’ve not done that before ?!?! Looking forward to getting it on stage! Downside is I’m going to have to let my recently acquired Squier P bass go! Look out for the ad soon!

    Ooh impressive multi-tasking!!
  15. Risk101
    Lovely colour - I suppose it plays like butter too !!! GLWTS
  16. Risk101
    Love these basses - such great quality and I think 35” scale for a great B string. GLWTS
  17. Risk101
    That's nice, and I like the mint green too! My one weighs 9lb 2 and balances nicely on the strap.
  18. Risk101
    Thanks @iconic actually I didn’t know that! Have always admired Cort guitars which probably explains why this Squier seems really well put together! Yes, I love the neck colouration too!

    So I’ve been hankering after that classic P sound after listening to too much 70s/80s stuff. Wanted something not too expensive and this (discontinued around 2017 I think?) made in Indonesia fitted the bill at £260. Yeah I know 5 strings wasn’t a thing back in the 70s, but I’ve been a 5er man for decades! As far as I can tell it’s completely “stock” and in great condition. Just needed a little truss rod tweak and the saddles adjusted and it sounds great!
  20. Risk101
    Ooh now that’s lovely - shame for me they never did the black and block inlays in a 5 string version!! GLWTS though I doubt you’ll need it !!
  21. Risk101
    Here’s my modest array !!! Including the obligatory iPad !!
  22. Risk101
    Wish I looked that cool 😂😂 and a Fodera too - very nice !!
  23. Risk101
    What’s the thinking about Carvin basses these days? I’ve read the old thread with the background and the Kiesel takeover. This one looks rather nice! (On a well known Italian website)
  24. Risk101
    Wow - love this. Could you post the serial number as it’s not visible in the photos then I can look up the full spec. The weight of the bass would be helpful too. Thanks 👍🏻
  25. Risk101
    Super surprised this lovely bass is here at this price. The maple bodied ones seems to be quite rarely on the market these days. Shame it’s not a 5’ver !! GLWTS
