I play them with a pick, brings out the SC/flats tone beautifully

The SC Precisions are an acquired taste but one that I've acquired, pickguard has to be off though

I had a '56 (or was it a '55). Nice bass, was it £17,500 nicer than an MIJ '55 RI.........? Answers on a postcard

Many thanks Mike 🙏

No vid showing in my feed, odd 🤔 EDIT! Found it 👍

Stop all this talk, the Basschatting public want photos of basses and amplifiers and we want them now 😡

The first complete dickhead gentleman who I sold it to complained that the action was too low and returned it on that basis ..........

And here it is......

My BB2024X (maple board unusually) was one of the best basses I've owned also. Oddly I never gigged it, always picking up Fenders. If I had one now it would probably be staying and doing a lot of gigs 👍

I think you’d be better off in Ironic Crabcore mate 👍

This ^

Looking forward to watching this, it’s the track that led me to bass (there’s a thread on here somewhere) 👍

Ha ha, fair enough, I did it once and it unraveled within seconds, but that’s life I guess. Beautiful trio there 👍

No

In an alternative reality in which Fender didn’t exist I suspect most of us would be playing a Yamaha 🙂

There’s something almost Wal-like about that 👍

I stopped playing for close to 20 years between 1985 and 2003. I had far more success and status in the former, far more joy and satisfaction in the latter 👍

Thanks so much for the offer, I think we've sorted it now mate 🙏

Sorry all, yes Whitstable, but it's really no big deal and I can now collect from Nik the following weekend so perhaps let's not make things any more complicated

For the last year at least I've used Parcelforce whenever possible, due in large part to the really good driver here. Anyway, tried to book a collection for Wednesday and it was a lot more complex than usual and didn't offer the usual time slots, which delayed the whole thing as I was only going to be home in the afternoon, albeit when the driver usually comes by (around 3.00 each day). Postman arrived yesterday morning with a load of bills and also asked for the items he had to collect, which were going into the back of his small postie van. Turns out that Parcelforce have now handed collections and deliveries to Royal Mail, which strikes me as a pretty bad move for us punters given RM are not exactly state of the art
