    This arrived in late December and it's very nice indeed.

    Let's hope the sellers don't take the... mick.

    It's a surprising amount of fun. You can have all the dirt you could wish for without ever losing the huge low end.

    I've had the Ashdown ABM rig in the above picture since the early 2000's. It has done everything I needed of it. I picked up the little GK thing to see what they're like but it doesn't have the balls of the ABM. I now use the Ashdown into the 1x15 for meat and the GK, fed by the line out of the ABM, for filth into the 2x10, something it does very well, actually. If I had to choose, though, the ABM wouldn't be the one to go.

    It happened a few days ago 😉

    There's a time and a place for playing requests.

    I've had my ESP 400 Series since late 92. At the time, I was deciding between a 75 Precision for £250 and the ESP for £300. Financially, I made the wrong choice and went with the substantially better bass.

    Nice money to be made in the preaching racket in the US.

    It doesn't stop manufacturers of higher quality equipment from doing their thing and customers will go to the product which suits their budget and tastes. Millions of Squiers and Epiphones don't stop the sales of Sadowsky and Fodera.

    It's like the FA Cup draw. They pull a few numbers out of a bag, see what parts the numbers correspond to and screw it together. Hey presto! Parallel pawn shop universe thing!!!

    It's Fender's design team at their best, take a random selection of parts out of the bin and make s guitar out of it.

    Wack, son.

    The revelation of the mechanialilitiness of the elephant has disappointed no-one more than me and has changed what might have been quite pleasant music into some kind of noise-prog. Drums are done. Bass needs filth.

    I've got lots of respect for her, have her solo, Smashing Pumpkins and Hole albums, but that doesn't mean she's above talking jibba jabba 🙂

    That green certainly isn't quiet.

    The beauty of the Precision is its simplicity. The lack of options makes it hard for even the most determined dullard to make it sound bad. A Jazz bass provides the user with the capability to get it wrong and, when this happens, the frustrated user can blame the bass as, in their head, the fault can't be with them as they sound fine with a Precision.

    I'm sure there are plenty of Summer residency & cruise ship types who stay in Europe longer than 30 days per year.

    Great bass playing but what a truly incredible voice she had.
  19. Doctor J
    All of them. Seriously.

    Do you know the weight? Is it heavy or... not?
  21. Doctor J
    That's pricey alright. Keep an eye on adverts.ie and you should be able to get one for about €500. At that price, it's very close to full-on Stingray money. I sold a full US Ray for €750 there a few years ago.

    Or piezo and lightwave

    That was what came across in Beyond the Lighted Stage, the band was really just three good mates and their families. The warmth between them over-shone any muso considerations.
  24. Doctor J
    P and Reverse (correct) P is also of merit.

    U ok hun?
