    Lovely 26 year old bass, suffering from the woes that afflict all the Fotoflame models in the end, that is the Foto finish is splitting. It is however a lovely bass, typical of the early 90s MIJs. I’ve been using the neck on my ‘68 Jazz and was going to strip and refin the body (I did the same on a Fotoflame about 10 years back and the finish comes off very easily). However, I’m now selling the ‘68 and even though it’s a bit cracked, the finish on this bass still looks amazing, so seems best to leave it, or at least let the new owner decide. Price is a bargain, no haggling and no trades please. Chris

    If something is unused I guess it's new. If that were not the case, how long would something have to sit on a shop shelf to become used? Flip side, plenty of musical instruments are well used but still sold as new, having been played over and over again by prospective buyers, but never actually bought. I guess 'new' is a bit vague both ways

    I’m thinking of doing the same, I just need one more Gen 1 Compact Or a Mesa 1516EV

    One of the most sublime bass tones out there. I’ve got flats on my Modulus Flea - very similar bass - and it blows my mind every time I play it

    Look out Cape Town

    So Walshy, as a fellow Precision (and Flea) player, how did you find this compared to the Super Twin?
  8. Beedster
    Fair point. The pre-amp solution allows him to use one bass only for both precision-ish and ray tones, the VMP solution is potentially better because it allows him to have flats on one for the John Deacon sound, and rounds on the other (I would have the flats on the 'ray because that is a glorious tone, but not everyone agrees). Not quite sure how he's going to get close to the Geezer tone either way, but I imagine a key part of that was very hot tubes and volume set at 11

    Wouldn't it be ironic if that part was recorded on Deacon's 'ray

    Put back to stock, the cycle of life I agree Paul, there's a lot of folks get very agitated about the precision of Precisions, but you could move the PUP a few cms each way without a dramatic change, as I've found with my Fernandes. There used to be a lot of talk also about PUPs that are too close to each other interfering with each other but I've not read anything in that space for a while so perhaps that was disproved. And if reverse P was good enough for 1980's Yamaha BBs, it's good enough for me

    Bummer. But to be really honest mate, you only need one, seriously. I used the BB-750 with one Mesa 4x10 a few times and got noise complaints from Cape Town
  12. Beedster
    I might be wrong, and it might be the unusualness of the PUP configuration, but even the bass side looks much closer to the neck than bridge that is the case with standard P-PUP placing?

    So you’d entrust a dream Mesa rig to me. When do I start?
  14. Beedster
    Casters pop out. It’s Mesa

    Nearly every violin in eBay has marking suggesting it’s 400 years old. Sorry

    Everyone like Yellow Submarine

    Reminds me of the classic Steve Coogan...... ”What’s your favourite Beatles album?” ””The Best of the Beatles”

    There are so many albums that to me are nothing more than the emperor’s invisible clothes. People in the know have suggested that I ‘try’ to like them. My Mum used to say the same about spam, suet pudding and homework. I rest my case

    Blue?

    If you don’t stack them vertically I will follow you to every gig and do it for you

    This thread should be locked immediately on the basis of the undeniable levels of heresy being spoken. Basses sounding the same, look of bass being more important.....
  22. Beedster
    You will
  23. Beedster
    Sacrilege But true
  24. Beedster
    I stand corrected
  25. Beedster
    You won't get one in the right position for the P-PUP, not without removing the 'ray PUP anyway. Having said that, I've a '70s Japanese Precision with two P-PUPs, neither of which are in the classic Fender-P position, and it still sounds a lot like a Precision to me
