    Here's my SUB. Never to be parted with. It was my first bass and is a cracker!

    Here's mine. Don't have the Stingray anymore. Still got the Sub. It was better than than the Stingray!

    I think the 70s reissue you are referring to is a Jazz not a Precision.

    I was over at Mark's today for my bass lesson and got to see this beautiful bass in the flesh. A very high quality instrument which would certainly make me consider an ACG. BTW the lessons are high quality as well!

    [quote name='budget bassist' post='394289' date='Jan 29 2009, 02:07 AM']why DID those old fenders have strap pegs on the back of the headstocks? I never got that...[/quote] I believe it was to help players who were making the transition from upright double basses to electric basses. They would attach the strap to the end pin and then onto the headstock instead of the pin on the top horn. The bass could then be played in an upright position. It obviously didn't catch on. Has anyone ever seen a picture of a player with an old Fender in an upright position?

    Thanks for the help chaps!

    Many thanks for the reply.

    I have a 1983 American Standard Precision. I thought that the tone knob wasn't working and so just eq'd the amp to get different tones. However, recently I tried the tone knob again and did notice a very slight change in tone. So it was off with the scratchplate to have a look. The capacitor is rectangular and orangey-red in colour. It has has a value stamped on it of .022-200DC. This confuses me as I would have expected .05. I don't think by the way the 'plate came off, and the condition under the 'plate, that anyone has been in there before. Does anyone know if Fender ever fitted capacitors of this value to their basses. I'm wondering if a guitar capacitor found it's way into the bass bin or the employee fitted the wrong one. Whatever is the case I'm going to fit an .05 cap and see what happens unless anyone here can throw any light on my problem.

    Played at a 30th birthday party last night at Nice & Sleazys in Glasgow. It was great to have a sound guy who knew exactly what he was doing. Stage well set up. Power points waiting for everybody. Minimum of fuss in checking. This young guy was very professional in his whole approach. What a difference it makes to start your night like this!

    Can I ask a couple of questions. Is the bridge original? It doesn't look like the saddles are the screw type from the photo. Maybe I just can't se it right. Are the tuners the reverse type?

    Gretsch basses

    [quote name='jamman' post='382998' date='Jan 17 2009, 03:13 AM']Just wondering if anybody can shed light on Grestch bass guitars namely the G6128B Thunder jet bass ? Like the styling just wondered if anybody has one if so what they like.[/quote] Do you know that there is one for sale for £850 in the 'for sale' section right now.

    [quote name='7string' post='380754' date='Jan 14 2009, 10:15 PM']Hutton showed me the Gibson earlier this week. It's a really great bass and very unusual.[/quote] You have to run it by your teacher for full approval!

    Many thanks Andrew. As always your photography is stunning. I'm missing the Gretsch already, but loving the Gibson.

    Feedback for Lysdexia

    Hutton replied to ~tl's topic in Feedback

    I had probably the easiest ever transaction with Andrew this week. We swapped basses with the absolute minimum of fuss. What a nice guy. No-one should hesitate to do business with him.

    [quote name='Clarky' post='374818' date='Jan 9 2009, 09:46 AM']Why kind sir, I think the honourable gentleman from the delightful seafront location of Portsmouth is trying to ask which particular electric bass guitar doth Mr Shooter covet? Or is that vernacular from the 1850s? [/quote] Many thanks. Your translation is much appreciated.

    I have the same bass except with a rosewood board. To get a Fullerton Bass of this era for £700 is incredible value. Somebody must surely be interested.

    lightest cab I've ever owned. Sounds superb, the only crit I'd make is that they're not braced enough, but that could be an easy sort if you're handy with a bit of DIY. [/quote] As I said earlier these are great cabs. I certainly haven't found them to be lacking in the bracing department. I'm also not sure if it's appropriate to pass a negative opinion on the merits of a piece of gear that a basschatter is trying to sell.
  25. Hutton
    These are great cabs. Good luck with the sale!
