    I would throw a Westone Thunder 1A fretless into the mix. Exceptionally nice fretless for the money, unlined board, wonderful tone. I've had two at various stages and they knock spots of most Squiers IMO. You should get one for under £200.

    Bump! I would trade this for an Orange Terror Bass 500 - which is a good trade I think.

    Bump for a mega cheap backup head!

    Small beans by a lot of peoples' standards but I spent £1200 on a singularly lightweight example of a Musicman Sterling 5. That is more than twice what I would normally think of paying for a bass but my choices were so limited. I then spent some more on it fitting lightweight tuners. Spending even more on it again soon and having a Precison pickup installed in it. It will get some use, mind you, as it has become my main gigging bass. And I've shifted a few basses over the past few weeks that cover the cost. Nearly.

    What a pair of beauties!

    Bought a strap from John in the most straightforward of deals. Arrived speed of light, packaged well enough to withstand The Apocalypse. Even Royal Mail! A pleasure doing business.

    That is an interesting idea! Never considered that.

    [quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1474974612' post='3141911'] Are you intending to use the Silvercrest unit to feed power to the Volto? It could work if the Volto can output power whilst it's receiving charge. [/quote] Reading into this a bit more it looks completely feasible and not at all complicated. Thanks for the idea!!

    Being a complete technophobe I didn't really understand what was going on. So it is 5V on its own, which is fairly useless for replacing the Volto. Charging the Volto - if it is possible it is starting to get complicated. Oh well, I thought it seemed to good to be true - and it was! Thanks!

    I wonder if this might make a decent replacement for my Pedaltrain Nano Volto, which I find struggles to keep enough oomph for a whole gig? It is rated at 5000mAh as compared to 2000mAh for the Volto, if that makes a difference? And it is £6.99 [url="http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=37546"]http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=37546[/url] Anyone know enough to say if they are compatible and or more powerful?

    550W at 4ohms. I'd guess around 300W at 8ohms.

    Scruffy but fully functional Ashdown MiBass 550. A few surface scratches on top and slight dent to edge of fascia, but everything works. Been my back up amp, now no longer needed. No leads. Link here for specs [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amp/18/Legacy/98/MiBass-550-/"]http://ashdownmusic....98/MiBass-550-/[/url] Looks like this but a bit scruffier: £170 posted.

    I quite liked the active controls on the Thunders. As I recall the centre indent was flat with a bass or treble boost depending upon which way you turned it, together with a passive roll off knob, too. I would usually select just off the centre indent towards bass - deep, powerful yet still punchy.
  14. Paul S
    Yes please - PM incoming.

    Back from holiday bump!

    Surprised to see this for sale, Mark. No, horrified is the word. You know you will regret it, you'll never EVER get another like it. You don't need the money, keep it languishing in the cupboard or use it for rehearsals if gigging it scares you.

    Is this your best yet, Andy? I am transfixed...

    I have had 3 of these things abandoned down the sideway of my house for years, waiting for me to join them together and collect rainwater. It is never going to happen. Two are attached to pallets at the base - one plastic, one wood. They are tatty. I'd ideally like all 3 to go in one hit. Free of charge from SS7 on the North Thames Delta. You'll need a trailer/van/flatbed truck to transport them, they are approx 1.2m each way I think. Oh, yes - you have to manhandle them out yourself.... space is tight...
  20. Paul S
    Thank you for that. You just saved me £534!
  21. Paul S
    Are you able to weigh it by any chance? I am seriously tempted....

    You might have more luck looking for your 32" scale Precision on eBay from Japanese sellers. They were more common over there. I bought a couple over a period of a year or so - an A serial no. Squier Precision and also a Fender P/J, both 32" scale, both mid80s, from the same seller called batfuk (yes, really). Even with shipping, VAT and import duties they still worked out ok price-wise. He ships with DHL and it took 2 days door to door from Tokyo. Anyway, GLWYS, these are lovely. Edit - just remembered I told you all this before! I thought it sounded familiar! BTW my Katana is still for sale

    Can't beat black/black/maple in my book. [attachment=227539:JV01.jpg]

    How about a Squier JV Precision? They hold their value, to the irritation of a lot of folks on here , and are consistently good quality.

    I've tried quite a few replacement bridges on Fenders. I think the Hipshot A is the best engineered one I've tried so far but it is big and quite heavy. Gotoh 201 is straight forward and chunky - probably the most cost effective. Schaller 3D I like a lot, I just put one on my JV Precision, very comfy for palm muting and easy to adjust. You only need 2 new holes - the centre one fits existing hole! Neither of them would show when you put the old bridge back. Didn't get on with a Badass, not that you asked about those.
