    That's really good but I'm guessing the audio was taken off a CD/mp3/fLAC file?

    From the Studio wav file I’m afraid

    youtube sound conversion wasn’t as good as now in 2013.

    Thanks for doing that. Measurements are too similar to the Burns Barracuda to be worth it for me. 

    Do either the volume or tone control pull up? On the Barracuda this switches on the neck pickup irrespective of the pickup selector switch position to give extra tonal possibilities.

    No. It’s straight stat style switching. More than enough for me. I’m used to just having just the one pickup on my other basses.

    If the measurements work out OK (I'm hoping for Burns Barracuda width at the nut and Squier Bass VI at the bridge) than I may well go for a red/black burst one.

    OK. Nut 43mm and centre of low E to high E 35mm. Bridge centre of E to E 52mm. 9lb 8oz on the scales

    First impressions are very good. Nicely finished and set up. No sharp fret ends. The pickups sound pleasing if slightly middy. All 5 switch positions are very useable. The only small issue is on the headstock. The logo is a bit smudged and the truss rod adjustment cavity has a little black residue, from a dirty hex key I guess. 

    It's a lot of fun to play. I'm enjoying abusing it with my basic lead lines and the odd chord foray. Great value for money.

    One of those popped up on an eBay search the other day. Considerably cheaper than the Barracuda which it seems to have replaced.

    Could you please measure the string spacing at the nut and the bridge for me when yours arrives. A single measurement from the centres of the two E strings in both locations will do, along with the width of the neck at the nut. I haven't been able to find this information on-line so far.

    Thanks!

     

    Will do. Be interesting to see if this is any good.

    Rolling the dice on this one as we’ve got a couple of new songs on the go that a Bass VI style sound could work on.

    Bit of fun - concerts you've seen

    First concert - Rich Kids at the Nashvile, Jan 1978. First time without parental lack of control. My Mum had taken me to Hawkwind at the Roundhouse when I was 10 amongst others. .
    Last concert - Australian Pink Floyd  in Halifax last November (girlfriends choice) Enjoyed more than I thought I would.
    Best concert - Clash and Specials - Music Machine Oct 1978? Adrenaline overload. Amazing gig.
    Worst concert - Circulus - St Pauls, Brentford about 5 years ago? I'm trying to forget.
    Loudest concert - Wildhearts Camden Palace/Motorhead Hammy Odeon. Deaf after both.
    Seen the most - The Members probably
    Most surprising - Cameo Hammersmith 85 ish? Really rocked and funked the place. Excellent fun. I thought they'd be like the Four Tops or something live. I was very wrong.
    Next concert - Next one booked isLevellers in Holmfirth in May. Probably sneak some in before though
    Wish I would have seen - Radio Birdman or Soundtrack of Our Lives I guess. Kept missing them.
