    How does the Sire compare to the roadworn 50s broadly speaking?

    Up until recently I owned a Mexican Fender roadworn P bass. Generally loved it but, after playing it for an hour or so, I found the wide neck a little uncomfortable so decided to let it go. I’m missing that P bass sound though and would love to find another which has that worn in feel, relatively light but resonant body but with a slightly slimmer neck. Doesn’t need to be jazz bass skinny, I prefer a bit more meat than that - just not as wide as the roadworn. I’ve only played a handful of P basses so wondering if you fine people could narrow down my choices a bit with some suggestions? Budget is flexible…ish - I’d stump up for the right bass but would also snap up something bargainous. Doesn’t need to be brand new or roadworn either, but would be lovely if it does have that played in feeling. Appreciate any suggestions!

    I’ve got a 3EQ EBMM Stingray which I love, but I owned a 2EQ for a while and preferred the sound of it (shouldn’t have sold it!) The electronics on my current MM are playing up a bit so I’m considering “converting” it to a 2EQ system as part of getting it fixed. I’ve seen the John East preamps - I’ve been looking on the site but I’m not sure they have what I’m looking for - the 2EQ ones have the front mounted input socket, whereas mine has the input socket on the bottom of the body (standard 3EQ setup). Does anyone know if John East do a 2EQ set up which would fit straight in to my bass? Also, whilst I’m looking at preamps, is it worth swapping out the pickup too? I know it’s probably personal preference for sound, but would any alternative pickup get me closer to that classic 2EQ sound? thanks for any info in advance!

    I need to send my bass amp (Ashdown ABM500) to them for a service. They’ve quite rightly suggested sending in a strong cardboard box with plenty of soft packing inside. Can anyone suggest where I could get a suitably strong box from?
