I’m picking up a Trickfish Minnow at NAMM and will probably sort a new amp out too. Other than that, I think I’m good for a bit. My Moollon will arrive in April, but that’s paid for. So I think I’m going to say that I’ll join in for as long as I can from end of Jan....if I can do another 6months I’ll be happy. Plus I’m moving out on my own (from a marriage), so that will be expensive lol. Si

The Mono sleeve is too short for a Mustang, although fits my Serek shortscale (ie a stumpy body with a 2+2 headstock). But yeah, the Gruv Gear Edge is the best I’ve found so far. Si

NRG Purrer, Diamond Comp Jr, Phase 95, Mooer Envelope

PM'd on the Mooer Si -
Precisely!! Where did you get it from? Was it a perfect fit? Si
-
Exactly right!? I like it how it is, but the black will give it a more vintage ‘yellowed Olympic white’ feel I think. Si

I've been after a Precision 5 string for a while now, there aren't really many options about (that are passive and not P/J), but managed to find a Fender American Professional P5 for an excellent price. Very impressed with it so far, came with a nice setup, and I of course have out La Bella flats straight onto it! Wasn't sure about the Antique Olive in photos, but it's actually a really nice finish in person, especially with the mint scratchplate: However, I also managed to pick up one of the Player series (MIM) Precisions for a good price too. I'm actually very impressed, needed a tiny bit of work on the setup, but it's dialled in and it sounds excellent, finish is great....if I keep it, I'll put a black scratch plate on it likely: Si

Off the top of my head, about £800 (but don’t quote me), but talk to Taka and he’ll let you know Si

Rebirth Guitars (UK based) make a great bass IV for not much money: Si
-
Yeah sure, if that’s what you want/need while tracking then all good 🙂. If a very specific tone is needed while tracking, often the case with guitars, specifically distortion), then I think it’s necessary, otherwise I’ll track my bass dry 90% of the time (straight to the interface), and add the ‘valve warmth’ or ‘tube compressor’ or whatever plugin at the mixing stage, purely because that’s whatever the mix needs.

2 more Precisions en route to me 🤦♂️

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2019?
Sibob replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
There probably should be a prize huh 😂 Si -
Seems a bit odd, but whatever works for him lol. I found that La Bella’s sound great and ‘played in’ out the pack, I had Chromes on my ‘71 before that, and they only really started to sound ‘right’ after about a years gigging on them. Si

Another 44-64 with a proper width nut, none of these Jazz widths GLWTS, they are wonderful basses! Si -
Cool bass, really like the Racing Green colour. Presumably it's hand-built at that price-point, but yes they'll do very well with a Tribute version I should think. Si
-
There will be a market for the spec, high-end active classics while retaining the 'F' branding......but I'm also underwhelmed by the colours. Olympic White being the best it seems, the two-tone is quite nice. Cherry-burst is never a good idea 🤮 Si
-
The Jazz 5 thumbnail was up for a split second just now, down again now. So clearly they're mid-upload. The J5 looked nice, tobacco sunburst I think, presumably with other options, £1959 There was a P/J 4 string too, and a J4. No P5. Si
-
Oh well, at least there's the Am Pro P5, think I'm gonna go for one of those in the next couple of weeks. Si
-
Too much to hope for a P5 I wonder?! Si
-
I love Jaco for what he did for the instrument, but I always tend towards his big-band stuff. If you're not a fan of the solo bass stuff or 'fusion' stuff, try the Word Of Mouth album. Si
-
Hi all, Does anyone have one of the newer American Professional Precision 5s? If so, would be good to get the weight of yours from you, build up an average. Cheers Si
-
Lakland 44-64 sold, sad to see it go. But Moollon P incoming in April and my eye on a Precision 5...which should hopefully be with me by mid-December
-
*Headphones/decent speakers needed* These are the 760FL on my ‘71 P: These are the 760FS on my Lakland 44-64: Si

What would your signature instrument be?
Sibob replied to AngelDeVille's topic in General Discussion
I'm essentially a Precision player at heart, but if someone said "What is your signature bass"...in many ways, like the thread is doing...I'd say the Lakland 44-94 they built on my request. Basically a modern passive P/J bass with that fantastic 44-94 fret access: Si -
I'm not really sure how I feel about this types of promotions. I certainly understand that it's a great deal if you win, but not sure I'd want to spend £50 on nothing as most of the entrants will be doing. Again, not sure how I feel about them.....as such, won't be entering. Good luck to everyone though, does look like a lovely bass Si
