    The logic is fine, in practice it makes very little difference having discrete tone controls, and you're probably better off with a Jazz Bass harness, one less thing to go wrong

    I'm giving it serious thought mate

    Might have to buy the Berg
  4. Beedster
    I'm going to keep it
  5. Beedster
    Hell, that's a great video

    Keep me posted Dan

    Precision with rounds probably gets the best out of it to be honest, Precision with flats comes a pretty close second place. Having said that, it sounds pretty awesome whatever I put through it.

    I recall a similar comment tin the manual for my old Mesa power amp. I guess they're talking to guitarists with stereo FX, but I briefly considered a 2x300w all-tube living room hifi. That would certainly have drowned out the neighbour's dog. And everything else for about 5-miles

    100 or 200 Dan?

    Loved the playability of both the SLB-100 and 200, but whilst I could get them to sound OK recorded, I could never get them to sound like a DB live. I'd love to give one of these babies a go. However, I'm guessing the USA price point is indicative of it likely costing about the equivalent numbers in pounds, which means I'm probably not going to

    Plus the covers cost a small fortune

    ....and unless there's any offers very soon........

    Have now sorted my vintage Precision needs so am considering keeping this to be honest

    I find most private sellers to be far more efficient than music shops theses days. I’ve had two really crappy experiences with very well known bass shops, both of which came down to their simply not being bothered to do their job of selling the basses they advertised for sale. Pisses me off because I go out of my way to keep real - as opposed to online only - shops in business, but get punished for doing so too often.

    Worth pointing out that this is USA built. The £900 for the equivalent head Nik mentions above would get you a Far East produced amp. In my experience, the older USA gear is better.
  16. Beedster
    Should explain that! When I sold this, I assumed Nik and this rig would live happily ever after!
  17. Beedster
    Yes, it’s a glorious rig, really glorious
  18. Beedster
    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    It's close enough mate, as I said earlier in this thread, it's not the notes you play that matter, it's the way you play whatever notes you play
  20. Beedster
    Far worse mate, far worse

    if only that Moollon was a Precision

    Ha ha, we're all the same aren't we, if a pharma company developed a pill for GAS, this place would fold in seconds

    There was a BO-60 for sale in Japan a while back (about three times the price I paid for this) and it didn't look anything like as well finished or substantial. Hard to say anything conclusive from photos I know, but this baby looks like a tank in photos, and looks and feels like a tank in the flesh
  24. Beedster
    Yep, it's the FPM-80, and yes, whilst there have been a few for sale over the years - mostly in Japan - with rosewood boards, the maple boards seem to be very rare, and whilst I can't give you an evidence based reason, maple seem to be more at home on this bass, or put another way, having p;ayed it for a few weeks, I can't imagine it with a rosewood board. (which I usually prefer) John, I'll be sure to give you the heads up if I sell mate
