Dosi Y'Anarchy

I've had positive experiences with them, but I've not had to return anything, so not had to put their customer service skills to the yet.

The new squier affinity jag is 32 and has a passive musicman style humbucker. Looks pretty decent for the money to me. (sorry if it's already been suggested).

It wasn't a problem per se, but as I used the pickup as a thumbrest as with the additional space between the pickup cover and the pickguard, the pickup could be a bit wobbly.

No the pickup cover was from a US seller on ebay, its just a thunderbird pickup cover. It fit really well but because the plastic of the stock pickup cover is thicker/larger, the thunderbird replacement was a little loose.

Thanks! I also did another video comparing the Leeds and Oxford but it doesnt have the American Sound in it, so i didnt bother posting it. The funny thing is, i keep looking for a Fender-Style preamp and never remember that I still have the American Sound. I really should use it more.

If its of any interest i did a video a while back comparing my VT Bass, Leeds and Joyo American Sound:

F*ck me. I love it. Maybe not the fretless, personally but everything about it just rings my bell. Obviously id need to start a glam rock band with it though.

That is truly awful.

Oh here's a shot of my DC (which I sold) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFmQNZInzF8/?igshid=wq220bzs0o0b Here's what I did to it *chrome thunderbird pickup cover *babicz Bridge *cheap self adhesive thumbrest from eBay. * tone control modded to a push /push pot to wire pickup straight to output. *thumbrest - which I ended up hardly using

I owned the DC and played the SG. I found the SG more comfortable due to the body shape and contours, whereas I had to fit an arm rest to the DC. I find alot Gibson basses to be quite dark, which isn't my style but loved the woodyness of the DC, it gave me something I just couldn't get out of my other basses and although I had to fit an arm rest, I loved the size of the body, it was otherwise a breeze to play, I'm a small guy and this felt proportioned to me. As I said, the DC felt a bit too dark but the coil split/tap thing did help with that (at the cost of that woody midrange), I also got it modded to bypass the electronics altogether which increased the brightness a little too. The SG bass was fine, love the look but didn't sound as "unique" as the DC, the DC reminding me a bit of the Grabber II I had and made me feel a bit like Jack Bruce (ironically) and John Entwistle when playing it. The SG just sounded like I expected it to: big fat neck pickup that didn't seem super special, a better defined bridge pickup that I wouldn't use on its own and a blended tone that was fine. I mainly play rock music and the DC can cut through a heavy mix no problem. I feel it excels at "vintage' rock tones and, if I ever rolled the tone down, would be great for other styles too, like motown. I feel that the SG isn't there to cut through, it's there to provide some background warmth and depth to the low end of the mix. Having said that, put it though a dirty amp or overdrive and I'm sure you could get some Jack Bruce or Trevor Boulder out of it, both of whom I love. l think the SG looks great and prefer the ergonomics more but tonally, it didn't give me anything I felt special and that I couldn't really have gotten out of a cheaper bass (an epi EB-0 has the neck pickup and even better the Rumblekat has two pickups). The DC is the closest I'm going to get to a short scale, single pickup Thunderbird and to me, lives in that weird 70s era of Grabbers and Rippers tonally. Now, having said all that, id still like to spend more time with the SG, but at the price I'd probably be better off buying the DC and an Epiphone Eb-0 and saving some money!

Headstock says 80s hair metal, the rest says acoustic session. What a weird combo, but other than the Headstock I love it. Love the idea of a thinline bass and although I can't say I'm a fan of the acoustic - style bridge in general but I think it works really well with the thinline aesthetic.

Yeah I've noticed that Andertons will list an expected delivery date when other shops have no idea when the same stock will arrive, they then will push the delivery date daily when it doesn't arrive, not in all instances of course but i remember chasing the Hudson Broadcast AP. If I'm being cynical, they possibly don't know when the stock will arrive but having a set delivery date on the website that's sooner rather than later has more chance of securing a preorder than simply listing it as out of stock.
