Thanks all. It is indeed mii Marc.

Travelled to do a halfway meet up with Ed, he bought my Fender USA Geddy Lee Jazz. Ed's a really nice bloke,we didn't have long to chat as we both had to travel home again, but it was a very easy transaction. Thanks again Ed, deal with confidence folks!

Thanks all I ended up buying the Squier, but you all knew that was coming anyway, right? Turned out to be a really decent Bass, chap had bought it over 15 years ago, with the best intentions of learning to play but never really bothered. No (and I mean ZERO) fret wear, truss rod works fine. Pots a bit scratchy (to be expected), Jack socket needed tightening. Strings were OK, still pretty bright. You can't see from the Gumtree pictures I showed above, but it's a Metallic Black colour. Gave it a once over on the weekend, set it up to my taste and I'm really quite pleased! Perfect Backup Bass.

Me too, finally watched this last night. The OP pretty much describes it exactly, Great film but a very difficult watch on times, especially the scene with Jesse being interviewed for French TV. Couldn't take my eyes off it. And pretty much held my breath for most of it.

Going to see the Squier after work..

Love that. Great Job!

The 410t should be a good match, is there something about the 410t you didn't like when using it with the ABM300, that's making you wonder about getting a new cab?

Cheers Lozz, anyone else wanna put their 2p in?

Images of local Squier, it's not an 'affinity' the small text on the headstock says 'standard' by the look of it: [attachment=253151:$_86.JPG] [attachment=253152:$_86 (1).JPG] [attachment=253153:$_86 (2).JPG] [attachment=253154:$_86 (3).JPG]

Sellers other items, I particularly like the 'Epiphanies' Acoustic!

Mulling this one over! Since having my American Elite P-Bass in April, I re-developed a love for Precision shaped PJ Basses. So, since I like to have a similar sounding Backup for gigs, I find myself trying to decide which of these options to do: 1 - Buy a secondhand Squier PJ I've seen locally (Buyer wants £150 with a Fender practice amp, may be able to knock down / just buy the bass without the amp) 2 - Modify one of my existing Precisions into PJ (either a Roadworn P or maybe the Harley Benton PB50) Of course another option is: - 3 - Not worry about my backup sounding similar to my main bass. Thoughts and opinions appreciated! Ta muchly!

And here's what my Harley Benton PB50 might look like if modified to my taste, if I was clever enough. [attachment=253064:HB PB50 mod.JPG]

Just discovered this thread. That's officially the rest of my working day gone.

[quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1504221919' post='3363545'] whens the Mexi coming out? Since the Rush docu on netflix, ive had a hankering, especially since trying to learn YYz [/quote] They are already out. They are now making only 2 types of Geddy Sig model, The USA made one and the Mex made one. As far as I know, originally there was only the MIJ model, then they transferred that production to Mexico. Then they added the USA production model. IIRC there was also a short-lived custom shop model you could get before they brought out before the USA production model, which was reliced to match Geddy's actual '72 Bass.

Personally I like my backup to be as similar sounding as possible. So I guess the same pickup layout is the most important thing for me. It's definitely a personal thing though, most of the punters I play to couldn't care less. I guess if your 'famed' for using a certain type of Bass, then punters will be more discerning. For instance, imagine Steve Harris broke a string and ran off and came back with a Musicman. That'd raise a few eyebrows.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1503945481' post='3361751'] I`ve not got the answers to the specific questions but my two-pennorth is that the Para Driver is the best preamp/DI pedal I`ve ever used. [/quote] Completely agree Lozz, of all the various iterations of my pedal board, since I got one a few years ago, the Para Driver has always been the last thing in my chain, every time..

Nice! Although I've said before, I'm not sure about the colour of these, I'm assuming it helps with the visibility in darkened situations.. Course you wont have that trouble with the light from your Korg Tuner.... Top purchase whatever way you look at it!!
