Don’t try and change it then 👍

I think Sire are perhaps where Fender were 60-70 years ago, producing instruments that do the job at a price that reflects that fact and nothing more. So much of the perceptual bollocks in bass guitar design/engineering/technology is being demonstrated as little more than placebo by these guys

Love it 👍

That's the truth, and my sense is that the 300 has moved even further way than the previous versions, despite the tech

That was a bit rude, apologies, but my sentiment re Fenders remains 👍

I think you're talking out of your backside frankly 👍

That explains why Precisions are so rarely seen/heard in live and recorded music. I guess it was the absence of definition, the excess of low notes (the latter not something a bass guitar should ever aspire to of course), and the overall woolyness that eventually killed them off. When you think about it, it's amazing that Fender still make them really. Rubbish instruments, really rubbish

....although those look a lot like frets to me?

Yep, bet this is a pretty decent alternative to some very expensive instruments, I'm almost tempted...... https://www.andertons.co.uk/sire-f10-fretless-6-string-natural-satin/

Sounds like you need some boutique all-tube amplification, that'll get the costs back up again 👍

Buy a combo used on here, that link looks like a ‘get what you pay for’ unit to me

Hi folks, I have two almost identical fretless Warmoth necks, they’re both trusty old friends and I’d quite like to fret one of them. Can anyone here do the work for me, preference would be to simply put the neck in the post. Idea of timescales and costs would be helpful 👍

Always wanted to do this either at a wedding or Valentines gig

Think I might have been in a bit of a bad mood yesterday 🤣

Amazon has a guest checkout 👍

Missing the point Tim, I just wanted to buy a bridge. Given PayPal was a payment option the need to register an account was either very poor web design or security for the sake of security.

I know mate, it drives me crazy, all I wanted to do was spend £5 more than I needed to on a bridge because it was going to a music shop rather than Amazon! I don't understand why when so many retail sectors are pretty much click to buy without any need to register, I come across this so often with music stores. It's like they want to go out of business 😡 Bridge, a simple BBOT, nothing more 👍

Found a low cost bridge for a project on a UK retailer/shop I'd not used before. So, I tried to buy it, but apparently had to register with the shop in question first. I was walking the dog at the time and doing it on my mobile phone. Long story short, after about 10 minutes of "Sorry, your password is insufficient, it needs to be at least 12 characters long with at least two non-consecutive capitals, one numerical symbol, one non-numerical symbol, and no dates or similar references....' I just gave up and bought the same bridge cheaper on Amazon. FFS UK music retailers, why put people off buying from you 😡

Welcome @papabassus There's a very big selection to choose from, if you could specify price range, desirable power etc you'll get a more helpful response. My gut instinct response would be any of the Mesa Subway heads, but that may not be what you're looking for 👍

Hey @Andyjr1515, thanks for the reply, and very sorry to hear about the arthritis, not a nice thing especially given your line of work. Thanks for the heads up re the thread which hadn't occured to me, I'll post there 👍
