    That was the Mk2. When it was first re-issued in '68, it had the old single coil for a few years.

    Predictably, I'm going to suggest the Handbox R-400. Yes it has a valve pre, but it's quick and clean, with a simple EQ, and a linear gain knob :-)
  3. wateroftyne
    Possibly, or - being devil's advocate - the headstock face could be nitro while the neck is poly.

    I like his reviews, and I'm glad he's back, but I never heard him say anything bad about anything he'd been sent to review... Maybe he was just choosy with what he reviewed. I dunno.

    As am I, but I think the above is a thing of beauty. I reckon the old P must have looked like it was from outer space back in '51, too.
  6. wateroftyne
    That's beautiful. I couldn't get away with playing something like that - I'd look ridiculous - but it's awesome.

    I've never seen that decal before, and the whole thing looks a little shonky to me.
  8. wateroftyne
    Yeah, c'mon... let's hear what you've got.
  9. wateroftyne
    Aye, I'm a sheep too.

    In 35 years of gigging, I've had three basses fail on me during a gig. One was a '71, the other two were less than a year old at the time.

    I don't think anyone buys a vintage Fender in the hope that it will be £x000 better than a £500 bass. If they do, they're misguided. It's about collect-ability, romance, and (possibly) investment.

    I'm getting on with it very well indeed! It sounds fantastic, but I couldn't say how much - if any - of it is down to special early 60s sauce. It's just a great sounding P. I got lucky.

    ..or maybe just reshaped..? Terrible photos don't help.

    Guard is a replacement.
  15. wateroftyne
    This has pooped up in the last day or so...
  16. wateroftyne
    At the risk of being pedantic, your hand is still on the neck.
  17. wateroftyne
    Yeah.. I agree. Most unlike him. I’ll ask the question...

    Actually, even though I haven't had access to one of these for six months now, my heart still sings when I look at pictures of them. I need to raid the piggy bank.

    Leszek's just sent me some pics of the slightly facelifted WB-100. As well as the original case format, it looks like you can now get it rackmountable and also 'naked'.

    It seems someone did, maybe around two years back:

    I wonder if Geddy is feeling the pressure now? 😄
  22. wateroftyne
    DG is just completely awesome. It's great that both him & Roger are getting knee-deep in trying to make a difference (whether you agree with some of the causes or not).
  23. wateroftyne
    Yup - Queen's stock is higher than it's been in a couple of decades, and a significant amount of credit for that has to go to Taylor and May for keeping the flame burning.
  24. wateroftyne
    Quick update - the bass' previous owner has been in touch. He'd owned it since 1982 - he was glad to see that I'm gigging it, and it's not just hanging it on a wall. It was nice to find out a bit more about its history.
  25. wateroftyne
    And, while we're on the subject of cool keyboard players... (terrible video in general, but check out 1m30s especially)
