The market might never recover 😀

Ouch, hope all’s OK mate 👍

Wotchyabuying @Clarky ?

Is this of any use @Old Ozzie Guy

Cripes Ped, if that's tidied, what was it like before

That could be an EQ issue as opposed to a hardware one

Buying a decent sub can be a game changer, it allows you so much more control over the monitoring. Not sure a 8/10" cab will do the same job though Not sure if there was a previous thread but might be easier for folks to give advice if the threads were merged?

Fender Prefission Bass, one pickup morphs into two pickups....

Fender Revision Bass, same as the previous version

Fender Incision Bass, cuts through the mix

Well there goes my theory

The Fender Reassignment Series, we take a Jazz and turn it into a Precision, or vice versa

Sad offsky, nice

The necks are pretty heavy given that carbon/graphite is very light, so I'd imagine that whatever it is is substantial, if not in fact simply solid carbon/graphite

After some 'vibrational medicine' are we Sir......?

The Fender Precision 2050 Reissue series: Our Custom Shop, left to their own devices due to everything being done by CNC, developed a time machine, and went 27 years into the future only to discover that the basses we'll be making then are, yes you guessed it, exactly the same as those we're making now albeit with more and more desperate series names. So, we proudly present the Fender 2050 Reissue Precision, which was itself a reissue of our 2023 Precision, albeit at a 1000% markup that we have of course had to pass on to you, our devoted customers' The Fender 2050 Reissue Precision Series

That's proscribed, a rather different thing; bass prescribed, cowbells proscribed 👍

eBay misspellings provide some interesting Fender model names, the Fender Percission, Percussion, and Prescription Basses being all time favourites (although the last has some medical merit of course)

And me 👍

The answer to this is, IMO, how the neck makes you feel when you play it, and that's a function your motivation for the build. My build algorithm in order of importance.... 1: Neck: Dimensions? Wrong profile = wrong neck, there's a certain ratio of depth-width that i like, jazz necks that are too narrow/deep and precision necks that are too wide/shallow are both out 2. Neck: Feel and function, how fast is it, how sticky is it, is it easy to fret, does it play well? Does it make me feel good? 3. Body/neck joint: Is it tight, does the bass sing unplugged when the neck is attached to the body, does it feel tight and stable? 4. Action: how close can I get it to almost zero without shims etc? Will probably never play it that low, but I ned to know the neck is good enough to go there if I wanted to 5. PUPs: is there magic when I plug it in (to one or other Mesa rigs that is)? 6. Circuit; does the roll off work for me, does it give me the tone control I need? So the neck is critical to the first three criteria in importance, and not something I leave to chance, whilst bodies and bridges are not even a factor, which is why I'm happy to put a Warmoth neck on a Squier body with a BBOT bridge) 👍

Pretty much my thinking 👍
