Cat Burrito

Yip

Had a few weeks out of Basschat just as I needed to be offline a bit more. I'd acquired a few bass parts and wanted to put together a P-bass. I salvaged the neck from my original 1989 P-bass, bought a 70s USA P-bass body on the 'Bay and pretty much got everything else from Basschat. I liked the 70s thing of stripping the finish so I've taken this back and waxed it up. Gigged it twice at the weekend and it's great. Great Wizard Trad pickup in there and ultra heavy flatwounds. You get the idea. It took me a few evenings to strip the paint, sand it down and wax it up but definitely worth it. It feels more personal than picking something off the wall

Onstage over the weekend... this is from our Manchester show.

We had Friday in Manchester and Saturday in Sheffield, both great fun. Manchester was poor sound but great crowd and Sheffield was great sound but smaller crowd. My first proper gigs since March as we've been recording but just happy to be playing again (& the album is going great...so far!)

Welcome to Basschat

Welcome to Basschat Arjimlad

We've been locked away in rehearsals since March which is killing me but we start the follow up to the last album at the end of the month and from July we have gigs in Sheffield, Manchester, Bristol, London, Newport, Dublin etc etc For 2011 we are looking at a tv show in Manchester & a US showcase

Welcome to Basschat Kay

I think if you like a bass you grow to love the differences you are less used to like different neck profiles

I hasten to add my stuff is not for sale... just saying there are a lot of great configurations out there

I have 2x10 & 1x15 Ampeg cabs. Both sound great on their own. I also had the BA115U combo for a while which was fine but under your budget by a way

It's just poor listing. It could be fine, could be rubbish. I've made £800+ on EBay this week & I put that down to spending time on the photographs & listings. If it is a genuine Fender at that price & not a Squier it'd sell immediately with some pics and an explanation.

If you add it to your cart it goes up to £249... still cheap but what a neat trick!

Looks very authentic, gotta be worth a go at that price

Welcome to Basschat

If I'm around I'll come... that will be the weekend of my wife's 40th but as it's so near her folks, ya never know

And of course...

Oh bugger, I'd have come to this as it's the next village along from my in-laws... I'm in Scotland though so you'll have to turn up to at least 11 for me to stand half a chance of soaking up the atmosphere! Have a good one

Congrats too & I'm plus one on your youtube video

The strings you use already are GREAT for dub & if it ain't broke...

Welcome to Basschat

Appreciate the offer Mr. Foxen but I have one nearly right Basschat sourced bridge already. I'm thinking if I can't get it exact I may as well use that one but cheers all the same. It's going to have ashtray covers on it so it can look a little messy underneath

It's a 70s Fender body that the seller had split to sell parts. I'm looking for a sort of junk shop chic (I've stripped it this evening). I don't have the a pic of the bridge but this is the screwhole configuration.... I believe the bridge on the body was non original
