    Absolutely! It's a great looking bass and the late, great Charlie Tumahai deserves the recognition.

    I actually see a fair few basses advertised as 'free shipping' from Japan. Not quite sure what's going on there, too good to be true usually is.

    I have bought from Ishibashi a couple of times. never had an issue. I would, however, think more in terms of 25% rather than just 20. That just covers the VAT but there will be charges around covering the VAT to get it through Customs and any Duty payable. 25% gives you a better approximation to consider the value of the purchase.

    When I am using gig bags for the basses I use Reunion Blues Aero series. The cables etc go in a Mesa Boogie cable bag. Similar to the Amazon one you are considering. I have a Wenger aircraft carry on type bag for rehearsals. It's more manageable for carrying the fewer bits I need and is the right size for folders etc.

    I have seen a Fender Japan one of these before. I have a Precision one, which is superb.

    You'll never fool an expert. The F is the wrong way round. 🙂

    You're the goalkeeper in a penalty shoot-out. You can't lose. Go out there and give it your best. Just keep smiling and everyone will think any mistake is someone else. Hope the back stage catering was good!!

    It could be a second one so he has experience of using the same model. Also he doesn't actually claim it's working.

    Given the fact no-one has one then it's a pretty redundant question. Would being Norman Watt-Roy improve my bass playing would be an equally valid question.

    There is a meaning there, that is not familiar in Latvia, I think. If I say it's the orifice through which micturition occurs you may get the answer!! 🙂

    If there is a forum version of slap, this is it. 😞

    I confess I know jack about that song.
  13. Steve Browning
    Yes. It's all in the link above. I'm dangerous, me.

    A Precision does all I want out of a bass. On a much more shallow level, I can't stand the shape of a Jazz.
  15. Steve Browning
    Can't say I have a preference. I have 2 on stands and 1 on a wall hanger (and rotate them with my others) and just pick one of those up. They're all Precisions, of course.

    Ah, The Birdie Song. I've told the story before of how I killed someone playing that. Portsmouth Radical Club 24/12/78.

    At home, I either use a USB powered mixer that has the pc sound going through it (if practising songs) and headphones or, sometimes, an Ampeg Micro-CL stack - mainly bought for its comedic potential. Additionally,. I will often just play acoustically.

    This. I have an MB150E that is brilliant for exactly that situation. Unhappily no Mesa equivalent.
  19. Steve Browning
    I may look into that.

    It does appear that the strict answer to the original question is 'no'. However, by branching out into other areas you can, and a good few here, do.

    For the new web site? 🙂

    Currently selling a Korg Pitchblack X Pro rack tuner for £179K. I think I'll pass.

    I have a Korg in my amp rack but have a Peterson Stomp on the board with my switcher unit.

    I guess we've all had our moments. I have thought myself to have been incredibly fortunate over the years. I am very aware that the operative word is fortunate.

    You are to be congratulated. I do suspect you're an exception. I'm dead jealous too!! 🙂
