If necessary? This is BC, you know the rules…

Welcome to the shorty brigade, watch out, they’re addictive.

Ridiculous! I saw Steven Wilson at The Royal Albert Hall, with a box seat for £45. Ticket pricing is all the over the map, without rhyme or reason.

Doesn’t/didn’t Horace Panter use one with The Specials? T’birds do have the perception of being a rock bass and I can see why. However, if folk pigeonhole any instrument, they’re missing a trick (the story of Ozzy, with Randy Rhodes pitching up to the audition with a Les Paul springs to mind).

Very well put, Trav.

In Repair - John Mayer

Female of the Species - Space

Rock Bottom - UFO

Never had a sticky set of these, although I have had that experience with LaBella’s. However, they may now be coating them in something to negate the rust spotting issue they were having a while back.

Hear Me Calling - Slade

Just like Fender did back in ‘50s and ‘60s. That build is my current favourite P bass combo; loving it.

I had one just like that, I often wonder whether I should’ve kept it.

White Wine in the Sun - Tim Minchin

That's the right logo, at last!

@FinnDave I see that you've advertised for a reasonably priced Mustang/Bronco in the wanted section, why not give the Harley Benton MV-4MS (catchy name) a go for £199? https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_mv_4msb_gotoh_bk.htm The lack of blend control/pickup selection is a bit of a nuisance, but a blend control replacing the volume control is a solution. I like the neck pickup so much, I just disconnected the J pickup altogether.

All that matters. This is true, but there is lot more real estate in the body than a P. However, a chambered body or a mini J shape (Sadowsky for instance) will address this issue in short order. My Maruszczyk Elwood L (chambered, J type) comes in at under 3.3kg.

No! 😢

Likewise. I think the T'bird and Firebird are the sexiest looking things, but the ergonomics just don't work for me, sadly. Doesn't stop me wanting either of them.

Herein lie the problem with BD it seems, it's either brilliant or woeful service. I still like their weekly emails and the 'new website coming soon' bit has been making me chuckle for the last 5 months. Plainly a definition of soon I'm unacquainted with.

Well, that works! Nice work, 👏👏👏.

World Shut Your Mouth - Julian Cope

Certainly for the Squiers and Player series, JMJ, Vintera and American Pro are wider at around 40-41mm.
