Nice isn’t it, will probably be for sale soon however, as I like a Precision to have a Precision neck, it’s a bit thin for me

My upcoming Newcastle Arena gigs... a kind-of diary thread

That’s about right. Signage not necessary I suspect

Time for a bigger house

Some amps please the head, others please the heart. I prefer those that please the heart. I suspect Mr Kilmister was of similar view
-
I suspect that Fender did that with an old bass of mine
-
Old school heft, Marshall heft, the kind of heft that has a direct linear relationship with only one variable: not watts, impedance or size, but mass

I imagine there was PA support Imagine standing in front or a 4x15 and - at head height - a 4x12. Even 100w is going to be pretty impressive. And these were proper old money watts of course

As a Motorhead fan in the early 80's imagine my sheer joy to find myself, at a friend's gig at a club in Holland Park in London, next to Lemmy at the bar. We sat there for an hour or so, chewed the fat, he bought us a drink, we I think were skint so didn't return the favour but IIRC he didn't seem to mind. A really nice, calm, intelligent guy. Don't think he said one thing that suggested he was a famous musician. I do remember that I spent the whole night with my leather jacket zipped up desperate for him not to see my Motorhead t-shirt! One of rock's great characters. The story of how he 'left' Hawkwind is a classic

I miss that dude

As above, the stacked knob feature is nothing more than a circuit configuration. With Jazz Basses, circuits are so easy to change and so varied that I’ve always seen them as being like a bridge or PUPs, that is part of the Bass with which you experiment until you get it right, more than a defining feature of the instrument itself. For example I’ve tried active versus passive, series versus/and parallel, VVT versus VTP versus VT/VT etc. Best advice I can give us to find the Jazz you like best and install the circuit.

That’s not short

And Lemmy wasn’t a short man either
-
flip me that’s glorious
-
Weight is relative
-
Two PUPs, neither in the classic place, plus Jazz neck. Not a true Precision

Also for Andy

The End! “Auditions for The 602...a diary.”

I met Nile, what a f*****g lovely guy. I’d have him in my band any day. To date he hasn’t applied -
And of course, the tone underpinning many of the world's most iconic bass lines is infinitely worse than any of the above tones when isolated

One for Andy....

Wonder how the pres might perform with a different bass, as above the string balance both in volume and timbre is the most prominent feature to the casual listener (and I'm pretty casual in this context)?
-
It will provide heft. Nothing else matters
