    I don`t think they would get a fiver from the recycle company. Most companies are happy enough to get it uplifted for free, saves them having to pay to get it taken away. Rip off

    Not bought it for a few years now. Half the people in it I havent heard of and such a thin magazine. Read Dood`s bass stuff in Guitar interactive mag instead.

    [quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1476117670' post='3151485'] Cheers, perhaps a few emails shall be sent soon then! Any ideas why they are so scarce in the UK? [/quote] Not sure but I once had a bass player come up at a gig and ask me what the heck was I playing. A G&L L2000 tribute I replied. Never heard of them he says. And he had been a bass player for years. And here lies the problem. They don`t seem to have a high profile and not many stockist, especially the US models.

[/quote] How much is he looking for it? If you like the bass and it`s a good price, get it.

    Remove the scratch plate and check the routing around the pickups and it may also have the circular cnc/drugs stash hole. I can`t remember if the US models had these or just the Mexican models? If it`s a Mighty mite neck it`s not a US model. Nothing wrong with MM necks but if the neck isn`t US, I doubt the body will be.

    Those tuners aren`t fitted to US models and the string tree is a cheapo. Is the seller telling you it`s a US model?. If it is it should have a serial number that you can check.

    I`ve gotta say that the 3 shops I use in Glasgow - Guitarguitar, Merchant city and Strung out, have all been good for me. Some have better prices on strings, effects pedals etc but I try and use them rather than internet shopping. Strung out is a fantastic repair shop with really helpful staff. Overall

    [quote name='Greg.Bassman' timestamp='1474643765' post='3139559'] Lol, thanks jezza. Already seen this vid. Wanted to hear what our fellow basschatters had to say though [/quote] It is a lovely looking bass. So nice in fact that I bought a SR 750, a few steps down from the one you are looking at. Cracking bass with licensed Norstrand P and J pickups with a Ibby 3 band eq with a passive option. I had it about a week and was looking at it one night, when I noticed that a 5 string pickup had been fitted in the bridge! But hats off to Guitarguitar. I dropped it off on Tuesday and the replacement is sitting in the Glasgow shop, ready for collection tomorrow. Happy days

    [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1474368813' post='3137412'] When The Beatles first recorded at Abbey Road, They were not taken that seriously. They where looked down upon by the older generation as disposable kiddies music. As a result the staff didnt try too hard on recording them as they did their seasoned acts on their EMI roster. It wasnt until they became EMI's golden goose that they where taken seriously. [/quote] I am reading a book by session player Martin Kershaw and he states that at the time, Abbey road was just another studio and not the hallowed ground that it is now considered to be. Me, I love the Beatles especially the first 3 or 4 albums. Poptastic!!

    The track I heard on radio 2 from Shea was full of teenage girls screaming. Giles Martin said they left the screaming in but after about 30 seconds, it did my head right in. What I could hear of the music sounded quite good considering they couldn`t hear one another. I can`t wait till October when the real Beatles movie - Supersonic, comes out

    [quote name='pmjos' timestamp='1473537078' post='3131119'] That's a point.......... perhaps some T Rex? [/quote] Well Steve Currie played a P bass, a slab if I remember and Herbie Flowers plays a Jazz. 2000 posts!

    Last year I went to see a band that I was in at one time and the singer guitarist had his face in his A4 folder through the entire gig. And there was zero interaction with the punters. It looked very unprofessional. That was maybe an extreme example but I see nothing wrong with having an ipad on a bracket, attached to the mike stand. If you ever see a Stereophonics gig, Kelly Jones has some monitors in front of him. One of these is a tv with the words scrolling down. I wouldn`t mind but he wrote the blooming words!!

    Just bought a SR - Whoopeee!! But the stock strings? - Booo!! So if you want the strings (I think they are Elixars?) drop me a pm and I will stick them in the post to you.

    The HB PB50 is still surprising me. It`s a right good bit of kit. If I didn`t have a £700+ Nate Mendel P bass sitting here, I would gig it more. And at around £90 delivered, it`s a steal. And if you don`t like it, send it back and Thomman give you back your cash

    I always have a spare bass and a BD121. I don`t get the "its only a pub gig" mentality. To me, all gigs are as important as each other. The spare at the moment is a Harley Benton PB50 so no big worries if it goes walkies or gets damaged. Having said that, I have never had a bass or amp fail on me. It pays to look after the kit.

    There is pages on Talkbass about the hot pre amp. There is/was a guy from the company on there and he showed a way how to change the wiring to sort out the issue. I don`t think you can simply adjust something in the pre amp to easily rectify it. Crazily enough, the company knows about the issue but says it wouldn`t be cost effective for them to solve it, which I find bizarre

    I had one of the Peavey Minimax`s. It has plenty of power on tap and is small and easy to carry. But to me the chickenhead knobs and the push buttons below the knobs, are very cheaply made and when I pressed in the buttons, a popping noise could be heard through the speaker which did not fill me with confidence. Overall I don`t think the build quality was worth the price I paid for it, so it went back and a Trace Elliot now resides in the amp space. Not much difference This is only my opinion of the Peavey and I know that there are a few fans on here.
