Everybody selling a Squier seems to thing they've got the one vintage holy-grail one.

Another dubious Fender.

You’re both wrong!

I was just about to post this - maybe the "....er" brand suggests it's a bit ropey! But them machines look Japanese. And the seller has added a disclaimer too. So, could this be yet another dodgy "Fender" item for sale. (But I'm not going to say it, because the last time I pointed something out with a "Fender" logo on it I got insulted and sworn at!)

Just so...

I swapped my FI for a C4 today.

I know, really. 🙂

I have an EBS Microbass 2 and a DHA VT1 - they both blow the doors off the SansAmp.

Moog Taurus.

Right; FI out, C4 in!

Why can't people be honest in their listings? This is titled "Fender bass guitar" and then in the description it says "I believe is a Korean copy".

...and some isn't. 🙂

I'm a yes - we tend to keep a fair distance apart anyway and we can't be a slave to this damned virus forever. In all honesty, I'm more likely to catch it in my local supermarket than at a Bass Bash.

I've got a couple of old TE GP11 amps - they're great. I've got an Elf - it's great. I've no issues with the company evolving; I do like the fact that the name still exists.

That is one of the lamest ones I’ve seen.

...in which case it fails! 🙂

What is the point of a bass with headless tuners and a headstock?

£600 may be a fair price, but it isn't cheap.

Mind you, I acquired a DHA VT1 valve preamp over the weekend and that is a hulk of a thing.

Thanks for the info. I might take you up on the trade - will have a think. 🙂

Sure - I keep "meaning to", but I've got plenty of things to do, so it's perpetually shoved to the back of the queue; it's more a question of enthusiasm and if it's a chore to do something which is intended to be for enjoyment, then there'll always be something more interesting to do. Yep - I can easily use the Morningstar with other kit, so all is good there; I've got a rack of MIDI synth stuff to be getting on with (Minitaur, Novation, Roland) and foot & keyboard controllers.

Nope; he made it pretty obvious that he'd let me in under protest and didn't really engage with me in conversation, so I took a quick look around and legged it.

I've missed out on all of the Rickenbacker ads.

I once went to Andy Baxter's on spec without realising I was supposed to make an appointment until I got to the door, so I rang from there and he sort of huffed a bit and reluctantly let me in.
