Bet the nut width isn't 45mm as they claim.
-
Have you ever taken the bridge off? Does the body have the usual 5 screw holes for a direct Fender replacement? I'd be likely to take this off your hands if I can fit a different bridge (without having to rely on my non-existent diy skills). -
What's the best cheap (sub £40 new) split P pickup?
Steve Browning replied to neepheid's topic in General Discussion
If you can check behind the sofa for 3 quid, I'd go for the Kent Armstrong PBV in the classifieds. -
Highly recommended pre-amp. I have transformed both a Sterling SUB and OLP with one of these. Easy to install and a revelation. GLWTS. -
Always sad to read of the passing of a BC'er. Condolences to family and friends.
-
... and a review from one of own, I suspect.
-
Yes. My 65 Jazz and 72 Precision.
-
Interesting that BD seem to have fallen into the same trap that I did. They state the neck is dated the 5th of the month, where we now know the 5 denotes a Precision neck. I understand my ignorance but would have thought a specialist would be better informed.
-
Thes really are excellent vintage sounding pickups. I used to put these in all my Fender Japan basses (even the US ones). GLWTS. -
I've always left my basses in the room when staying in a hotel. I would always imagine them to be safer there. That said, that would tend to be overnight rather than an extended stay, but I would still work on the same principle.
-
Thanks for the update. Hope it does the job ok, as I'm sure it will.

BC community fundraiser - please read
Steve Browning replied to Clarky's topic in General Discussion
Wonderful stuff. Would have given earlier, but had to wait for an injection of funds. Man, this place is awesome. -
Great amps. I really enjoyed mine. Not sure of a source for the part, but maybe 3D printing might come to your rescue.

Getting better on bass... where now?
Steve Browning replied to Bass Novice's topic in General Discussion
I would add that chords include other notes you can use as a bass player. I learned the piano before I discovered bass, and that grounding has helped over the years. -
I guess we have no obligation to sell to anyone. I might consider what sort of activity I see, on the for sale forums, before selling to certain BC'ers. Undoubtedly rose tinted glasses but I always think of this as a 'mates rates' community.
-
I do hope the bass that is bought is revealed here. I always wonder what the outcome of these threads is.
-
The Fernandes is only 400 quid now.
-
As there are many threads around this topic (and some very recently) here, it would be a bit insulting to rehash any of those arguments here. If your decision is made and you're happy with it then I can only wish you well, and hope I can resist the basses when they turn up!!

Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!
Steve Browning replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Effects
I'm a bit of a fraud really. My board carries just my switcher (choosing between a passive fretted and active fretless - though not on this gig) and the tuner. No effects I'm afraid. -
Next gig is Midge Ure at Portsmouth Guildhall. Looking forward to it.
-
Steve Hampton. Good player and a mate. Gigs solo around Pompey when not globe trotting.
-
That's what I thought. I've got 12 and still hanker after a number of them in the classifieds!
-
If it's a Japanese bass you want, I'd again shout out for the Fernandes. In many instances, they were made in the same factory as the Fenders.
-
I'm with the Darester(!!). If you're happy with the sound, then it's the right choice for you.
-
I see @FinnDave has reduced his 60s Vintera Jazz to £550. Slap bang in the middle of your budget, and a very fine chap to deal with to boot.
