Lovely, totally agree re backline, my heart no longer misses several beats when I see either/both of the words 'Mesa' or 'Boogie' on BC/eBay/Reverb
-
Damn, so far from being the disease, Basschatitis is in fact the treatment?
-
An effective treatment for me has been switching almost exclusively to upright, where the costs and logistics of gear experimentation and switching are so ludicrous as to force me to stick with the same two instruments (one of which I've owned since 2015), strings, and PUPs for several multiples of their electric bass equivalent. That for largely audio reasons I need to use PA rather than backline adds a further layer to the treatment 👍
-
Lots of symptoms, not seeing many treatments?
-
That's a level expertise and experience that does it for me 👍
-
Just the natural P/J body left unsold, hoping to post the sold items tomorrow so will withdraw the body if it's not sold tonight as it'll be a while until i can post again 👍 -
Thanks mate, we've lived in parallel universes as far as bitsas are concerned! I've a garage studio to convert, a 3-set double bass gig to learn (with extensive BVs), and plans to start growing a lot of my own food in what remains a chaotic garden, so building basses is going to have to take a back seat for a while (in large part not because of the time required to actually build them but due to the amount of time I spend trawling eBay/Basschat/Reverb for quality components) 🤔

Apologies @jonno1981 it sold yesterday 👍
-
Suspect it’s this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305307740300?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1QcVvH0sSxG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=155UlNbXQGW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

P/J body is 3.2kgs 👍
-
You're not the first to ask mate, give me an hour or so to retrieve the scales and the body and I'll let you know 👍

What to buy a bass player for his 18th
Beedster replied to GrimUpNorth's topic in General Discussion
Irrespective of the above buy him a 2008 Fender - a Precision if of course the best bet - that'll alway be his YOB bass bought by his parent(s) and which he may well keep for life on that basis 👍 -
I'd welcome the opinions of the BC collective as to the wood of the PJ body above? I assumed ash but am usually wrong in these things 👍
-
Ah, but no cure needed for those afflicted
-
And now sold also 👍
-
Thanks @Owen, they are bloody nice mics for sure and these are close to new 👍
-
So in a PM just now I described the condition Basschatitis. In the interests of medical science, I suspect we - as suffsrers - need to clarify symptoms and define treatments. Feel free to contribute......
-
Ain't that the truth 👍
-
P-Retro and SD PUPs sold also, I'll get pics up of the rest ASAP 👍
-
That’s a stunner BTW, there is something so magical about late 60’s necks 👍 -
@d_g in my mind your rug is becoming as associated with the finer end of the bass guitar spectrum as is @walshy’s map 👍
-
And yes, largely a matter of taste not of optimal mechanics in any pure sense 👍
-
My preference is on the board, I had an old Warmoth that arrived from the US without a nut and it played so well - albeit with a capo I placed on the headstock to keep the strings in position - that I left it like that 👍 YMMV 🙂
-
Of course drop me a PM if still interested. Chris

Hi folks, apologies the parts are in my studio and I'm still not there to photo them. Either way the Squier body has gone (sorry @Sharkfinger and @MungoBass)
