I have a modified Nate Mendel P bass. I`m not really a big Foo`s fan, I just like the neck shape.

Squier Classic Vibe 50's Precision Bass - NBD/Review. Astounding.
jezzaboy replied to funkle's topic in Bass Guitars
These topics are too tempting. I had one of these earlier this year and moved it on as it wasn`t getting used. After reading this topic again, I spotted a s/hand one in Richtone Music for £270 with a case. Got it bought and it arrived looking almost as new. There is a lot of space between the bridge and pickup and I have a MFD humbucker kicking about so a trip to Strung out guitars may be in order. But going into the studio on Monday night and will hear how it sounds with the band before modifying the bass. -
I damaged my Ashdown, totally my fault, sent it down to them and they repaired it free of charge and sent it back via TNT. You cant beat that for customer service. Also if you have a problem you can talk to Dave or similar who know their stuff as they design the gear and know it inside out.

Rhythm Guitarist: have you got a spare 9v? Me: you`ve only got a tuner! Bring a spare battery!!

Most couriers insist on the case being wrapped in a cardboard outer box of some description due to covid reasons. I think if you surround the case in thick cardboard they can`t complain. Try overlandexpress. I have used APC through them on loads of occasions now and they have been spot on. £10 for every extra £1000 insurance. I must add though, nothing has been damaged or lost in transit with APC so I cannot speak for the cover. It was someone on here that put me onto them and the one time a delivery was delayed, you can actually speak to a real person. Shocking I know.

Along similar lines but cheaper, I use a Alto 10 inch powered speaker. I think I paid £100 for it and it`s great for home use. A 10 inch powered speaker of some description is the way to go. I was gonna buy 2 x RCF 710`s, 1 for home practice and 2 for gig`s. Might end up doing that at some point.

I think that some of the worst photo`s are in the Guitarguitar second hand section. They claim to use a professional set up but I always find their photo`s very dark and hard to see any dings or defects in them even when they say there are some.

I never even knew there was a headphone button on the back! Good shout as no doubt I would have done the same myself

Grateful Dead - What do i need to know?

Good shout there but I would replace Europe 72 with Hundred year hall. Recorded on the same tour but with HYH you get what the crowd heard that night rather than something that was messed with back at the studio. There are so many different versions of the Dead and for me the years 70 till 74 is the best, the rest you can keep especially live stuff with Mickey Hart, he just seemed to overplay and left no space for the tunes to breathe. They had such a rocky country feel to them before heroin entered the scene in late 74, early 75 and Garcia got hooked The problem with getting hooked on the band is you can end up with a rather large collection. Most of these were bought 15 + years ago and I stupidly took them out their cases and into plastic sleeves. Not one of my better ideas! -
Aw man. Loved the guy, big part of my listening growing up. Always came across as a honest guy in interviews. He did look frail when the frantic 4 got together. RIP

I would buy @Lozz196 P Deluxe if it`s still available. I had one the same and it was a cracking bass. Plenty of grunt from the Noiseless J pickup especially with the active engaged. And a cracking price as well.
-
It`s being made and sold in Japan. Frankly they can keep em there!
-
Sold Pete a bass, cool guy to deal with and no problems. Thanks mate!
-
They are basically an updated Mexican Deluxe. Nice but as you say a Sire will be quite a bit cheaper with similar spec.

I only know of Roger from reading Rick Wakeman`s books but he seemed like a nice guy and must have been a decent player to hang with Mr W. That band of his, The English rock ensemble liked a sherry or 2 as well. RIP Rog

Glad you got to the bottom of the problem. You deserve a better amp than a Stagg!
