Did you nod off to sleep whilst you were doing it?

Seller has added a note to the description.

Yep - it's super authentic!

Yep - it's the anchor, with the conversion bridge at the other end. I had been intending to put it on a P, but then this body came up. I may find myself having to drill through and use bolts, or add an anchor/tailpiece, though.

Here's something you don't see often...

My first thought was "I wonder whom that could be?", but alas no...

A bone nut can take a lot of work, so they have to cover their time.

I've never been that keen on them either.

Check'n'backer?

This one's for metal!

Check that out!

Darn - it's in the US or I'd be hitting the Buy, Buy, Buy button!

£344.05 now.

It seems a bit overpriced to me. The machines are on a wonk. It does have some mojo, though.

It's still a counterfeit, though.

Well, I just plain give up! 🙂

I'd walk right past the Yammys and not even notice they're there.

I've never found the Yamaha basses particularly interesting.

£40?

One of the best live sounds I've heard was Phil in Toyah's band playing a Precision at Manchester Poly (I don't remember, but I'm guessing the amp was an Ampeg).

The first iteration of the Farida Jazz was supposed to be pretty good, but then they chased the cash and went to the cheapest supplier in China and the quality suffered end they then got elbowed out of the marked by Squier. So, if you've got one of the first ones (Indonesian?) then you've got a decent bass to start with. Now, I've got a MIM Precision and it is battered to hell but plays nice. I've also got one I build from parts which has a MIM neck which is very good indeed. They're not for sale but, based on my experience, you can get a good used MIM Fender well inside your budget. There was someone selling a Tokai Hard Puncher somewhere; if you can get a vintage one of those, nobody will look down their noses at you. Other options are: I'm just expecting to complete the sale of a Warwick 5-string Rock Bass and also a Sterling by Music Man 5-string SUB for less than your budget even without selling the Farida. But overall, I'd be looking at a Fender. However, beware that the Fender used market is a minefield, with individuals and companies selling counterfeits and "ubranding" their Squiers with waterslide decals.

That's not heavy...

It's the opposite of a bass speaker - it's a HF horn.
