    Just one I think. Peavey 1810 cab, Single 18 and 2 x 10. Loads of bottom and top end but notes in between just disappeared.

    Easy one for me. 1953 Precision and 1966 Slab Precision. Quite wish I had my 1966 Jazz too.

    You could get an old Diesel cab for not very much. Ok, a bit heavy but they're awesome cabs. Here it next to the Subway 15s that replaced it (eventually).

    I have used 2 x 15 pretty much my entire playing career. Started with a couple of 'lesser' cabs (Impact and HH) but the epiphany (or is that epiphone) was an old Ampeg V4 2 x 15. Wonderful sound and I went from that to a Boogie Diesel cab which I used for about 28 years until I bought my current pair of Subway 15s. I had a brief flirtation with a pair of BF Compacts but it didn't last long. They've always been my sound and I still love it.

    Thank you. Needs must unhappily.

    Although my 50th is long gone, if I were treating myself to something it would be an early Stingray fretless.

    I have a switcher and a buffer but they are to allow me to use basses with different output levels and account for the longer cable run. If only using the one bass I don't need that and so think of myself of a bass and amp guy. Always fancied playing through an envelope filter on some funky tunes but never even tried it.

    I can imagine!! I will do so.

    I am truly gutted that I had nothing to offer this thread. Not had any experience even close to any of these so just a big thank you to all the contributors. This is pure gold .................

    The perfect thing to leave out for Santa or his reindeer this Christmas. Here we have an all original 1975 Precision fretless. In addition, the bridge cover and original case are included. The bass is in very good condition although you will see there is a split in the scratch-plate near the jack socket (as these plates are prone to shrinkage after a while). Everything works as it should and there is plenty of mwah!! It is shown on the scales at 9lbs. Collection/trying obviously preferable but I am also happy to meet at a reasonable distance from home (Portsmouth).

    I have used occasionally. Typical example would be Rocky Mountain Way in E. Pedalling the open E but sometime pulling up the F# to G before releasing it. Lends an extra bit of groove (IMHO).

    I think John Deacon became quite 'picky' live after a while.
  13. Steve Browning
    To keep warm maybe?

    Are you sure about the overspray? I only say that because the colouring of the body/headstock is fairly typical for basses of this era. One of mine looks as though it's had cigarette smoke blown at it continually for all its life! We tend to be fixated on weight too, so an idea of that would probably help. GLWTS

    I have the bass I always dreamed of and it (with the amp) makes exactly the sound I always had in my head. I have spent 30 years in sonic heaven.

    Great shame. I remember watching Pat Travers support SAHB (without Alex) at Portsmouth Locarno. Superb gig and I bought the first two albums as a result. Excellent playing.
  18. Steve Browning
    Interesting that, even allowing for the picture angle, those strings seem to be misaligned over the pole pieces on John's bass.
  19. Steve Browning
    Good job you didn't play anything 'rousing'!
  20. Steve Browning
    Not sure I agree with the last sentence.
  21. Steve Browning
    That's brilliant. Thank you.

    Far From The Madding Crowd. Beautifully evocative soundtrack. Oh, the proper version with Julie Christie, Alan Bates and Peter Finch - not to mention an appearance by Dave Swarbrick.
  23. Steve Browning
    A quiet evening in watching the telly for my Precisions - ok, that's all my basses.
  24. Steve Browning
    My sunbursts.

    My 1975 natural and 1990 Japanese A/E.
