Luckily for my wallet, I would only want a Precision, but I don't do maple necks. Product of 1958. Rosewood wasn't available until 1959.

I remember a wise man saying "Jeez, it's about preference". Remember saying that Tobie?

If I want to make a noise I have an Ampeg Micro CL set up. Just for the hilarious visual joke really. Generally I have a small usb mixer plugged into the pc and practice with headphones.

Thank god you cleared that up for me. I'd never have guessed.

Hi Nik. I just find his playing way more than is needed, and it leaves me a bit cold. It's all horses for courses, naturally enough. I don't profess to be the arbiter in any such discussion (none of us holds that distinction). I'm not much of a fan of any player that feels the need to draw attention to themselves, be they a YouTuber or virtuoso. Neither of them do stuff that I enjoy. I can't do much of what they do, but then I don't want to. I appreciate technique, don't get me wrong. It just doesn't float my boat.

Be careful, they might be phishing.

John Entwistle. The bass equivalent of Yngwie Malmsteen.

Bought a guitar multi-fx pedal from Brian. Dead straightforward transaction. The pedal was posted straight away and was very well packaged. Tracking number was supplied and communication was excellent. Entirely trustworthy and highly recommended.

Actually the Ampeg A15, also available for bass as the B15. Who'd have thunk it.

Yeah but you don't want eliptical speakers. O O O O ... would be much better. 🙂

I would be tempted to contact this business - https://bassjapandirect.myshopify.com/en-gb The videos they do for promotion suggest it's run by an English guy (though I don't know). They may well be able to offer you some advice (how to pack, who to use to courier etc.).

Same here. I have flirted with Rays over a number of years - starting with a 78. They just don't work for me. The sound just seems to disappear as you play the upper strings. Probably down to me, but I'll stick with a P-bass or two.

A mate of mine had one of those. 2x12 and just volume and tone controls. He played a Grimshaw Les Paul through it, and I have never heard a better guitar sound.

In fairness (though I doubt it would be seen in this way) I would have thought that is more likely to be disclosed to those making an enquiry, or even upon a sale. Other basses offered don't have a comprehensive history in the blurb. Anyhow, my turn to waste bandwidth.

If it's the 2004 Jazz, the information provided is in the spiel about the bass.

I confess to having a rack setup. Unnecessary power conditioner Tuner Main amp Spare amp In the back are a mains distribution unit and an isolated signal splitter to feed the inputs into the amps. Not too hefty and convenient. My only complaint is that the cabs are slightly thinner so the sides slightly overhang.

This was mentioned in an interview with Brian May's tech. He explained that nice, tidy cable runs were a nightmare when something went wrong. Untethered cables can be changed quickly.

He was also awesome in Stretch.

Just remembered that I once went to a Tom Petty gig in the company of Jim Lea.

I have had the honour of playing with David Gilmour, Ronnie Spector, Dave Mattacks and a few other rather better names than myself. Before then, when in a band in Brighton, I shared the stage (pub floor) with a young chap, a very fine player (rather obsessed with Dave Weckl) who went on to be the drummer in an outfit called Bush. I don't think they did much here but they sure did in the US. Robin Goodridge. Nice guy and excellent drummer.
