Appearances can be deceptive 👍

All about planning, I can get 8+ basses in this….

Well done 🙏

Good luck 👍

That, for me, is the difference 👍

Hope so 🙏

Looking forward to this

Now THAT is a bass collection 🙏

Post of the year

Looks like you just broke that rule, gotta let the bass go now or you go straight to Bass Jail 🤣

...and bassists 🤣

That's a shame, although having owned a few MIJ Precisions, the PUP was often the weakest link

I saw one in the flesh IIRC in Denmark St and it really was a very very nicely put together bass. It had a bound body with a trans finish and the grain on the body was stunning, almost good enough to suspect it was a veneer, stunning. Being MIJ I imagine it was also a very good instrument in its own right 👍

I would LOVE to arrive at a jam night with that

It was a nice piece and no doubt accurate and useful. Will it make me think twice about using tube amps? Hell no! And I'm pretty sure the word 'heft' wasn't even mentioned 🤣

He’ll be telling us that all basses sound the same next. Great vid 👍

Thanks for the balance Micky, he might do better if you did his copy 👍

The promo material for the gig put me off Steve, hence my quoting the Wales comment 🤔

'He’s regarded as a force of nature in his native Wales'. Great quote

You're very kind Jack, you'll be pleased to hear I'm currently building an uber-lightweight active aluminium 5-string fretless Fodera copy. I'll be in touch

Nerves are about audiences and this audience is going to be 120% behind you. It’ll be an amazing experience 👍

At 3-4k luck should not come into it though. I know that if I buy a mid-top range Warmoth neck and body, a Lindy Fralin PUP, a @KiOgon circuit, Gotoh hardware and spend some time on setup - £1000 in total including import duty - I'll get a great Precision bass 95% of the time. Frankly I find it f***ing amazing that with Fender costing 3-4x more it's still a 50% chance at best....
