    As used by John Deacon and John Entwistle, among others.

    I once did the equivalent of that in reverse. Played a good sized venue on a tour and put my amp on standby after the soundcheck. Played the first couple of numbers and could hear the bass from foh but nothing onstage. Wondered what was wrong until I saw my amp was still on standby!

    That is the best bass cabinet ever made, IMHO. Every bass player should have the opportunity to play through one of those.

    I don't believe so but I will check. I'm generally a nickel guy!

    No time wasted at all. It's for the parts drawer as these are my favourite bridges.
  6. Steve Browning
    I'll take that if neepheld doesn't want it. More than happy to wait on that outcome.

    I think the 5 refers to Precision bass rather than a day.

    ... or are they rubbish? High proportion of breakages and the top chews at the slightest amount of torque. That's with pilot holes, before anyone suggests!

    Combining a rather fetching Warmoth body/neck combination from our own @Beedster (from his current sale of assorted bits), the bass sports a Lollar 5% overwound pickup and Gotoh Res-o-Lite tuners. The obligatory K10gon loom (0.1 cap) and barrel knobs. A nice weight and very resonant. This one's a keeper for sure.

    Can't be ar$ed to make up some new words. Still highly recommended. 🙂

    It would seem I lasted about 15 months. Just taken delivery of an absolutely stunning body and neck combination from Chris. They will be utilised in creating The Beedster, to which I will introduce everyone when it is completed. It's going to be special.

    In fairness, it's not a proper bass as it has 5 strings. 😀

    I can tell you that a Boogie 2x18 was fine on its own and didn't lack anything in the definition department. I didn't use it on its own at a gig, it supplemented a 2x15 when I was feeling extravagant!

    Another vote for the Retrovibe. An excellent pre-amp and very reasonably priced. Simple to install as well.
  15. Steve Browning
    Go on then. I'll take that off your hands. PM incoming.

    I know he used it to record the last Who album. The strings were changed for the recordings (through a Fender Deluxe!!) and I got given them. Not my thing so I passed them on.

    I will let Melvyn (Lockyer- the bass player) know of your review. It will be appreciated.

    Where's the humility emoji when you need it? 🙂

    My very first amp was a Carlsboro-made 50 Top. They reissued them a good few years ago but they are long gone now. Nice amp (all valve 50 watter). They also made a 100 Top. Bill Nelson (Be Bop Deluxe) was a Carlsboro man.

    This was actually posted a little earlier (in the general information forum).

    Personally, as originally, I believe the jacket is fastened and it does not cover the headstock.

    Very much the same here. Over the years I've been fortunate to own some of the 'holy grail' instruments. In the end all the pre-CBS basses have gone because I have better basses from later periods or other makers. It is playability that matters. Yes I have some 60s and 70s basses, but I have owned them for a long time.
  23. Steve Browning
    I'm sticking with it being some form of modification. Hardly a matter of life and death of course.
  24. Steve Browning
    The thick plottens!!

    Interesting picture from 1963. Appears to show a bass with a Precision body but with an early Precision style neck - but dark fingerboard (guy standing next to Ringo).
