    This has got me thinking. My '78, nicknamed 'DeeDee' for the obvious reasons: I put an SPB-3 in it many years ago along with a Badass2 and I loved it so much I've since been scared to change anything... Still have the original pups and bridge, and she doesn't go out gigging anymore. Should I return her to stock?

    Oh it's quite possible that it was the non-metallic you mention. It definitely had checkerboard binding, that's what I remember about it the most! And it was blue. Now it really feels like it was 'The one that got away'! I'll console myself with the fact that I most likely would have gone off it and sold it soon after anyway (that's what happened when I bought a 4003 a few years ago).

    When I went to my local s/h dealer in the 90's I went to look at 2 Basses he had. One was a 78 Precision and one was a Blue Ric 4001. I had some gear to trade and the deal was I could straight swap what I had for the Precision, or add £50 for the Ric. Tried both and (unsurprisingly) the Precision felt more comfortable. That, plus the fact I didn't have to add the £50 led to me leaving with the Precision. The Ric was beautiful tho, Metallic blue with the checkerboard binding on the body. Dread to think what the return on that would be if I had it now.....

    It's true that having good neighbours is valuable. If you really want to try and 'maintain some sort of long term harmony', then I guess you'll have to turn it down a bit. But - It is not late at night and it's not your fault that she is working from home this week. You could just tell her to FO. What would she do if you were having some work done in your house etc?

    This is on the custom tone page: https://uk.line6.com/customtone/tone/3295474/ Not tried it personally so i don't know if it's any good or not....

    Nice fit for the LT on that pedalboard, do you happen to know the make / model of it?
  9. LewisK1975
    Have to agree with this. Don't own one but I have played one, It had TI flats on it and it was GAWJUS.

    That was where I first heard of him. 61 really is no age at all. RIP.

    All of my gigging Basses have Dunlop Super Bright Nickels 45-105. Love em. Low tension, quite bright at first but soon settle in, and for me the tone seems to stay the same for ages after that. Can be got for around £20 delivered and the last set on my main bass lasted for about 4 months before I felt the need to change them. Marvellous! Got a set of TI Flats on my RW Precision but I'm waiting for those to settle before deciding whether I like them.

    AFAIK all Big Baby cabs are 8 ohms.

    I remember when this was up before, certainly is tempting.. How were the controls modified to accommodate the extra pickup? There doesn't seem to be any extra knobs on there, or are they stack knobs?

    Ewan bought a pedalboard with power supply form me, excellent to deal with from start to finish, Cheers Ewan!

    Have to agree with the above, it looks amazing. Well Done!

    This is what I've ended up with at the moment: It's an off-white / parchment guard from a 2006 USA Precision. Still undecided, but as it's only being used as a backup I won't lose any sleep right now...
  19. LewisK1975
    And me!
  20. LewisK1975
    I got the Helix LT.
  21. LewisK1975
    Blimey, that is spotless.
  22. LewisK1975
    And SOLD!
  23. LewisK1975
    One of the nicest Precisions I've ever had my mitts on was a CS Pino Palladino signature. Not Sunburst, but set it up with a set of TI flats and you really are in P Bass heaven.
  24. LewisK1975
    Yup, never say never. But at the moment: Anything apart from a 4 string. Large/Heavy Amps / Cabs. Basses with Jazz width nuts. Minimum of 1.625in / 42mm required! Separate effects pedals - The Helix has cured that one!
  25. LewisK1975
    Up for Sale is my Tech 21 SansAmp ParaDriver, with Tin / Instructions. Similar to the Bass Driver, but also has a parametric mid control, super useful! Good Youtube vid here: Never thought I'd sell this, it's the only pedal that's been on EVERY pedalboard setup I've ever done. But since I've had the Line6 Helix, there's really no need for me to keep any separates, so everything must go! Only a few left now! £120 delivered to your door in the UK, and I'll even dust in between the knobs before I send it. No trades thanks!
