    Looking good. 👍

    Just going down to D-F, going up a gauge to 50-110 should be sufficient, assuming that you actually find your current set too loose. Tuning a five set string up 3 semitones sounds like trouble, plus you might have to widen the nut slots quite a bit.

    But then you are possibly implying self mutilation 😱😖😂

    A hard stare at their left hand, accompanied with the words, “I will cut it off!” normally works.

    I think @paddybass is looking for one of these.

    All of those tones work for me, but the weakest (IMO, YMMV) is the Yammy with both the P&J engaged, although it has a great, soloed P bass tone. I was fully expecting the J to sound weak next to, on paper, heavier, tonal hitters, but far from it. However, there can only be one (cue Christoph Lambert and Clancy Brown going for it, with swords) and for me it’s the P bass. Full disclosure, I have been on a P bass tone kick for a couple of years, so that is going to influence my choice.

    We didn’t come to help, we came to facilitate/encourage/entrap/advise (delete as appropriate).

    I agree. My JMJ sounds so close to my old ‘63 P as makes no odds.
  9. ezbass
    Yeah, he’s phenomenal.
  10. ezbass
    Hmm, er… no!

    On specs alone, it would be the Flea for me, but with a saving of nearly £500, I’d be compromising right quick and be feeling good about. Good choice.

    😡😤

    Same with the Larry Carlton guitars, it’s become more of a brand now I think.

    That LPB looks pukka and the the parchment p/g really sets it off. £250? Amazing value!

    From the photo, the scratch looks like some grain with some filler in it, unsightly, but not a deal breaker. Dinged neck though - that’s a no no, even if it is a potentially easy fix. Shame, given you’d been looking for one for quite a while.

    At the risk of this thread becoming like a broken record… YAMAHA!

    Assuming that this is based on streams, folk asking the service of their choice to play Christmas tunes, doesn’t count as a conscious decision to play that particular song. It’s a nonsense, unless you buy it, it doesn’t count IMO.

    My old P looked like it had been dragged behind truck and attacked with a chisel (and that was a refin, or at least so I was told) and putting that right would have detracted from its mojo and story. It played great and sounded phenomenal and if I could go back to when I decided to sell it, I might have a word with myself 😂.
  20. ezbass
    I’d leave the missing patch of paint, if it were me. However, if I was going to get that section covered, I’d go for a full refin and forget about the potential loss in resale value.
  21. ezbass
    Yeah. I bought a bass that a ding in the neck, a ‘Ray5. Using the wet cloth and soldering iron technique, it lifted right out. I have since used it on another dinged neck and some furniture that was dinged during a move. The results can vary, but it’s always better than it was.
  22. ezbass
    I reckon it might steam out.
  23. ezbass
    Ooh, lollipops (or Fisher Price as Bobby Vega called them)! Nice.

    My Sadowsky pre amp and MXR comp power up to on (possibly remembering the last switch position as these are always on), whilst my Tech21 VTDI, EBS pedals (chorus & octave) and tuner default to off. Not really an issue, I know how they act through use and the LED is always there for confirmation.
  25. ezbass
    The tuners look a bit big on that headstock to me but, other than that, it works from my perspective and would be an easy fix.
