    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.

    Wonderful stuff. Would have given earlier, but had to wait for an injection of funds. Man, this place is awesome.
  5. Steve Browning
    Great amps. I really enjoyed mine. Not sure of a source for the part, but maybe 3D printing might come to your rescue.

    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.
  9. Steve Browning
    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!!

    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.
  14. Steve Browning
    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.

    I'd be looking at the Fernandes JB55 in the classifieds. The quality of the basses of this era is exceptional. Great value IMHO.
  19. Steve Browning
    I have the same amp and could easily do all my gigs with it. It's done tours and all sorts of gigs in all genres. Amazing amps.
  20. Steve Browning
    I guess Swiss Tony was right!!
  21. Steve Browning
    Should I ask what your signature guitarist looks like?
  22. Steve Browning
    This is exactly what I was after. The gouges on my '66 are really quite deep. One of the reasons I semi-retired it - to prevent the gouges getting any deeper.

    I haven't seen a thread on specific wear patterns. I was asking about any marks your playing leaves on the instrument. Weirdly, I also bite my nails and generally the two guilty fingers are bent over. The pattern is a bit of a mystery to me, but there it is.
  24. Steve Browning
    No apology needed.
  25. Steve Browning
    Does your playing style result in any particular pattern of wear? It's this aspect that is the subject of this thread. I guess it's more likely on nitro finished instruments.
