    Yeah it's strange. As Neepheid said it's the year that differentiates them. The Bassbros one I know to be earlier than the Waltons link.
  2. Terry M.
    Excellent point 🤣

    The bottom line is it's two pieces of wood bolted together (minus neck thrus obviously) with some electronics added (and nothing mind bogglingly complex) and then some strings attached. I do see where you're coming from 🤔

    Ah ok fair enough. I wasn't aware of that 👍

    PMT currently have a used Gibson EB5 on their website that originally was priced at £1,800.00!! It's been ignored for so long they recently reduced it to £1,399.00!! It's still sitting there. They may be in for a rude awakening when the time comes. As per your post they weren't crazy popular when new.

    Only if you don't keep the Squier.

    The Meteroa looks Jaguar-ish to me. Also as far as specs are concerned the only new (to Fender) feature I think I spotted was the switchable mid frequency. Great to see the return of the S-1 switch though.

    What is it the cheaper one can't do in your opinion if it's set up really well and plays nicely?

    I've had two over the years. This statement is so true.
  10. Terry M.
    Unfortunately you are too right. It's the charging more money for the same things that I really disagree with also.

    Really good suggestion this. I tried one when they were new in Bass Direct. The only thing is I've seen these (admittedly not many) in classified ads being priced a bit close to the XJ-1T's.But still one to look out for.

    Oh my 🤤
  13. Terry M.
    Oh not at all. It definitely,especially in the natural finish,implies 70s.

    Ha ha I know this Laurel and Hardy movie,it's hilarious. He's just pulling on the strings for comedic effect and clearly can't play but it's comedy gold regardless 🤣

    Also consider a used Mayones Jabba Classic 5. Great axes those.
  16. Terry M.
    Not quite 70s,more 60s. I have a DJ5. That's if you're referring to the distance between the pickups.

    Had an EBMM Sterling 5H in black with rosewood board and black pickguard. Still trying to figure out why I let it go 🤔

    22 frets on that one mate not 21 as written. I've had one of these,fantastic basses ☺️

    This entire thread will show I'm far from alone with this belief.
  20. Terry M.
    Yes I'm aware you meant snobbery pointing upwards rather than down. I'm familiar with the term "inverse" 👍
  21. Terry M.
    Made in the same factory in Indonesia. Poplar bodies,ceramic pickups... Don't expect Fender to advertise that.
  22. Terry M.
    Given up with it all? 😆
  23. Terry M.
    That's a shame as the shielding issue is an easy fix in most cases. If it's not inspiring you then you did the right thing.
  24. Terry M.
    Your edit makes sense. It's easier to start with C because (as you know) there are no sharps or flats to deal with. Once the concept is learned it's then easier to transpose to other keys.
  25. Terry M.
    I'm not professing to be an expert on this. I can only share what eventually made sense to me 👍
