    Moonage daydream, Bowie. Mick Ronson's solo is beyond description.

    I have just gone full circle back to Trace amps (I actually like the scooped pre-shape 1 ) after a few years flirting with class Ds immediately post back hurting. A few months back I bought an AH300-12 SMX on here that had been rack mounted into an 2U ABS case and weighs around 12kgs. Not a lot, and not being bulky I find it an easy lift and balances with a lightweight cab on the other hand.

    My new band 'The Wayward Sons' are doing a support slot of around 1hr to an established soul band Soulsation at Rayleigh Mill in Rayleigh, Essex. Our music is probably best described as 'Classic Rock Anthems' and the band is a kind of side project for some well known local musos - Noel Ashton on vocals, Ben Selleck on vocal and keys, Alan Gooden on drums and the incredible Steve Hoggart on guitar. What the heck they are doing with me on bass I'm not sure... Should be a good night's entertainment. £10 on the door, which opens at 8pm. Waywards kick off around 8:45pm.

    Not that much black paint left on it, to be fair Steve has fitted an SD bassline p pup in it and I have to say it sounds a lot more mellow than others I have heard/used. OK, it is strung with flats but the tone was not hard at all. Very woody quality about it, too.

    I'm just back from doing a bit of business with Steve and had a bit of a look at this while I was there. Looks the business, sounds even better. Must the the best value £250 in the marketplace at the moment.

    Just concluded a bit of business with Steve and he was playing around on this when I arrived. Very nice indeed!

    My umpteenth dealing with Steve, I've just traded a Precision pickup for a Trace Elliot amp Well, almost. Luvverly fella.

    Black Sabbath on the album Black Sabbath by, erm, Black Sabbath.

    Building your own is a good way forward. I had a 90s MIJ Fender Precision body fitted with a Mighty Mite Jazz neck and, eventually, a Fender original pickup. That was delicious and I regret not keeping it as it did all the things my subsequent basses have done. Fender Jazz Bass Special models have Jazz shaped necks but Precision bodies. P/J pups. Usually sell for around £400. Precision Lyte has an uber slim neck, very shallow. Sold mine now but there are a couple for sale within your budget. Squier Silver Series precision basses were the last of the MIJ Squiers from the early 90s, generally exceptionally good, and had a 40mm wide neck.

    Sold.

    Sold an Artec preamp to Francis in a totally straightforward transaction. A pleasure to deal with!

    Bought an SKB hard case in what must have been the quickest and easiest of transactions. An absolute pleasure - why can't everything in Life be this simple? Thanks Pete

    if you are looking for new, Thomann have a decent selection: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/short_scale_basses.html"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/short_scale_basses.html[/url] I would give Danelectro a mention, they do a couple of short scale models. I have a Longhorn bass and it is very quirky, very light and very eye catching. Sounds huge, too.

    Another one whose current rig is the best so far. Trace Elliot AH300-12 SMX into either a single or a pair of Barefaced Supercompacts. Sounds better than when I had the old Trace Elliot cabs. And around 80kg lighter

    [quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1448903341' post='2919055'] - always had Ian Paice of the most under-rated drummers around. [/quote] I'd say that during the early 70s he wasn't under-rated at all. Most of my circle preferred him to Bonham (who I would personally say was over-rated). I can't say if history left him behind a bit as I always have and always will think of him as being top pin. For me Paice/Glover was the perfect powerhouse rhythm section.

    Inspirational!

    Precision Bass pickup taken from a mid 80s B serial number MIJ Squier Precision. Complete with brass shielding plate. £20 posted [attachment=206271:squierpup1.jpg][attachment=206272:squierpup2.jpg]

    Had this kicking around for a while now, taken from a mid 90s MIJ Fender Precision. No brass shielding plate. £15 posted [attachment=206269:mijfender1.jpg][attachment=206270:mijfender2.jpg]

    As per title. Needs input jack, one of the battery clip wires has come adrift but was working perfectly when I took it off. Blurb here: [url="http://artecsound.com/pickups/electronics/se2.html"]http://artecsound.co...ronics/se2.html[/url] £10 posted. [attachment=206268:artec.jpg]

    Fender Japan made/make one, a 62 Reissue style model number JB-62SS. Whether you will find one for sale in Europe i don;t know but importing from Japan is painless and usually works out a little cheaper even with duty etc.

    I'm in 3 bands, 2 are simple bass>amp. For the other band I use a chorus for maybe 5 tracks. Doesn't sound the same without.
