[quote name='Storky' timestamp='1488897657' post='3252743'] I can't comment on the Roger Waters model, but I have the classic 50s and that weighs in at 8.8lbs so not far off what you've said. . Very nice bass it is to, it is my bench mark that all the others have to meet and it has yet to be bettered! [/quote] [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1488898074' post='3252749'] The Roadworn version is probably lighter...they usually are. [/quote] Both are brilliant basses and the bar against which other basses should be measured

[quote name='Studio GC' timestamp='1488746112' post='3251524'] Very nice. I'm waiting for for fiesta red 50's bass that's in the post. Should arrive in a few days. I already ordered a mint white pick guard for mine. edit: I just gave away that I'm from the States....scratchguard I mean.... [/quote] Did you manage to get a 10 hole scratchplate/pickguard? OP Great bass and in honey a great colour BTW

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1488576471' post='3250303'] On the same page for a couple of quid more, I actually like the look of [url="http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/megacart-aluminium-folding-hand-truck---70kg-393400"]this[/url]. [/quote] I have one of these, you have to be careful though, they gave plastic parts, i dropped the first one and it fell to bits, i am being careful with the second and it gas been fine, main advantage over the one below is that it collapses for transportation [quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1488640127' post='3250698']x I finally gave up on the folding aluminium ones aft er the third one died on me. http://www.screwfix.com/p/standard-duty-hand-truck-150kg/6374P?kpid=6374P&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-Sales%20Tracking-_-sales%20tracking%20url&gclid=CjwKEAiA6OnFBRDcgt7YmPKI33ESJACJoTJYy6_XkHbNoopmh0vSRxI-Hpge8h8pA9C7VTJMkBmBWhoC_t7w_wcB The current weapon of choice - I paid £24.95 on sale. Did 2 washing machines with it on my last trip to france. [/quote]

Think your being a bit hard on peavey and carlsboro I remember having a 4 x 15 carlsboro cabinet - wonderful tone but impossible to move I remember all the dodgy jap basses when i coukd not afford fenders Irononically, many of these awful basses are now sold on ebay as vintage instruments, which i guess they are, but still awful basses

Covers (bluetacked) and no guard [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r100/garethadavies/image_zpsriznktj0.jpeg[/IMG]

Luke bought my L1000 Pleasure to deal with

I have had both the 5 and 4 string. They are vastly different basses and not comparable I did not care for the 4 but the 5 is one of the best fenders i have had. The 5's sell for in excess of £1000. There was one on here for less and it had a well worn body

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1486512379' post='3232464'] [/quote] I want!

Cant emphasize too much how good this bass is! [URL=http://s1068.photobucket.com/user/wallyherschell/media/PRS%20Kestrel%20Bass%20Black/image_zpsnnikkyim.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u451/wallyherschell/PRS%20Kestrel%20Bass%20Black/image_zpsnnikkyim.jpeg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='BassManGraham' timestamp='1485533032' post='3224736'] I'm just wondering if it's time to stock up on pre-wall (pre trade tarrif) Mexican Fenders they gotta being going up by 20% to pay for Donald's Wall. Could they become a thing of the past or the new pre CBS? [/quote]politics shoud be in off topic if anywhere at all

[quote name='Bridgehouse' timestamp='1484852129' post='3219148'] Heh - don't get me started - I umm'd and aaah'd about what to replace the original with and stuck with a direct replacement bwb. Main reason? 74 was the first year of bwb so I decided to show it off [/quote] this is what i was thinking [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r100/garethadavies/79%20White%20Precision/DSC00694.jpg[/IMG]

Would look good with a white guard

Michael Cant get it to play Could you give a link and ill add it to my watch later Thanks

Fender RBV - passive, variety of tones, all sound like fender, cuts well in mix live and recording, looks good

Apart from the blue turtles cd i have missed most of stings solo cds I got pissed off buying full priced police cds back in the day - when they were around £15 each - remember? Because apart from outlandas d mour, they tended to follow the same format, one or two stand out singles and the rest a lot of padding. So with this in mind i gave stings solo cds a miss. As they can now be bought for a couple of quid each on ebay, i have now bought 5 of his solo cds with another 2 on the way Amazed, i find that most of them are pretty good, with some fine tunes, nice hooks and some good jazz musos blowing great lines and very little padding An eye opener
