    God that was boring
  2. Beedster
    I suspect you have enough Precisions to be going on with Steve

    Wasn’t really the other guys fault mate, looks like O/P left amp plugged in, gotta look after your own gear 🤔
  4. Beedster
    I suggest you work out the answer for yourself while you fix your own amp
  5. Beedster
    Nice

    Second that @nuno1959 there are people on here who are seriously knowledgeable and who can help you sort the problem, it’s a lot easier if you get them onside first 👍

    Nice one my friend 👍

    Someone needs to say this, that’s FCS quality at a Squier price point, I wish I liked Jazzes 🤔
  9. Beedster
    God bless you mate 👍

    Mate, the golden rule, never total the costs, you'll let slip to someone somewhere and they'll use it against you

    All parts bodies and neck are not cheap and also come with the need for finishing/drilling, so the asking price for this bass - given the rest of the hardware - probably isn't a whole lot more than the cost of the parts, it might even be a little less. If only it was a Precision etc etc...... And of course, @Owen will be along in a minute or two to say the equivalent 'If only it were a 5-string....' 🤣

    Great playing, if a little Jaco-esque for my taste, but nice to see a virtuoso FL player using a Precision, or at least a P/J 👍

    @d_g knows how to do a relic finish, significantly better than any of the commercially available products including Fender Custom Shop 👍

    Yep, it ain't what gear you play, it's how you make it sound that matters, no doubt @Linus27 has got the latter covered 👍

    I rehearsed this a couple of times and having done so realised that it's in the top 10% of Precisions I've owned in terms of tone, playability, and loojks, which in real terms places it among a gang/gaggle of pre-CBSs. So for the time being at least, and with apologies for the people interested, I'm going to keep it 👍

    Hardest album we've played, best gig we've done

    Singist hits some loud shit in our Odelay gig, went great, could have been better, could have been worse, Beck has said the same about his own gigs

    Two units I'm not really using any more, £120 each posted & insured. Happy to haggle if needs be Krivo, gold standard of low-feedback magnetic DB PUPs (IMO of course....) Lifeline, also rather useful for (generally) low feedback amplification 👍

    I'd consider trade/PX for a high quality bass amp, ideally large (I'm no fan of micro or lightweight). Mesa always my preference but anything in that top-end gear space could work 👍 I'm also moving on my UAD Apollo X4 interface here
  21. Beedster
    It has NOTHING to do with LB's acoustic, and trust me, you do not ned to hear the bass 👍
  22. Beedster
    What a f***ing awful looking instrument, frets aren't even parallel (might be photo), plus why such a wide neck, could easily fit another string on there And then, there's the feedback.....
  23. Beedster
    Mate, firstly glad this has helped Second, if I were able to get up your way to see you lay down that funk, I'd be there in a flash Third, love this f***ing forum and the people who hang here, and @AndyTravis, like @Clarky earlier this year, respect and thanks guys 🙏

    Agree re first line 👍 I'm always amazed by just how many people, many of them fellow musicians, are completely mystified by slap, almost to the point as seeing it as a form or irony, the theme to Seinfeld seems to come in for particular flak!

    Fair enough, i suspect that if we're talking chart music only you're on the money in arguing that the music 50 years back had more interesting bass parts. But as someone who encourages my daughters to listen to whole albums by artists whose singles they like, I'm often impressed and encouraged by how interesting the bass parts can be, even in songs or artists I really don't like (Kanye being a great example of the latter) 👍
