    I’ve been noticeably worse this year. I normally buy and sell about 5 basses a year. I’ve done about 10 so far in 2020
  2. AndyTravis
    Yup

    It’s been a bad habit this year - lots of different projects on the go, if I had more space and less kids - I’d keep them all and give @cetera And @kodiakblair a run for their money. I don’t get sentimental or attached to gear - the Orange BB is here until I’m dead. Other than that - not really fussed. The Blue Sadowsky is a doll, and I’ll be keeping that too. But overall...it’s just wood and strings. They’re all lovely. Some people go mad with amps and pedals. I use the same Rig - always happy with that, and pedals wise, I don’t use much but have an ME50B If I need to colour sound - Seems Guy Pratt has dusted his off for the Videos he’s doing... I also have the “twins” which I’ve had for 10/11 years - so some gear does stay.

    This is a time limited thing - a bass has come up locally and the guy can’t play fretless so won’t take the trade even though he loves this bass. I actually don’t want to flog it as I’ve been recording with it recently...and only put new strings on it yesterday (elites Detroit Flats). Lovely/Mad 1991 ish Japanese Fretless hollow body precision. Chambered Mahogany body, spruce lid...f hole. Rosewood board. Lace Sensor P pickup. Piezo in bridge. TBX tone control (like a filter mid thing) Plays great. These normally go for about £600-£650 and don’t come up often. This has a few knocks/scratches but not on the neck - just on the body. Includes a Really lovely Warwick Rockbag and some used black nylon tapewounds. If the bass I’m looking at sells...this will be closed down. Shipping is a possibility at about £20 in UK. Collection (observance of social distancing a must) from Manchester (M27 postcode) is fine too.

    They could do FSR factory Special Runs of these... I get your point. I’m not saying I’d buy one every 12 months. Id be much happier if they introduced the configure your own USA standard thing they run in the US.

    @deepbass5 something like this - will do a better job. Look up iPad/IPhone interfaces and choose to suit your budget/device.

    Bought some Strings from Paul. Arrived quickly...as I’m sure I will once the strings are on 🤔
  8. AndyTravis
    Thanks 😊 🤔

    If it ends up like that - vol/tone/B/M/T - reverse P I’m interested. If it’s that odd 1 big control with 3 eq/mismatched hardwear I’m out.

    His son jack shoved it on twitter. I’ve no clue - hope it’s right though...looks good

    not black - but very dark blue...

    Upper middle - very nice basses. I had one for a few months, which is a miracle for me...

    Yeah - should’ve ordered the fender ones when I worked in a shop, think they worked out at just over £300 trade. In saying that - it was about 10 years ago

    As @DylanB states - Alder/Morado I had the same model as a 4 string. A beauty - and that is a brilliant, brilliant price.
  16. AndyTravis
    oddball P
  17. AndyTravis
    They’re about £400 for the triple cases?

    There seem to be a few versions there are 3 logo types - TV logo (like a 70’s P) - The Silver foil logo plus the AE logo (like the one Matt just posted) - The silver foil logo with nothing other than Fender on the head. Weirdness...they appeared in the 1991 catalogue and were then gone by the revised 1993 catalogue. There are ones with F logo knobs, and then some with Black dome knobs. Thats before you get into the HM version with the hockey stick/Jackson headstock. The preamp on mine is the Heartfeld one - suggesting 1991 ish.

    Hahaha @hookys6stringbass you beat me to it
  20. AndyTravis
    I had one for a while a CS relic 55, sold it to @Beedster They sound sort of like a soloed Jazz neck pickup. I love how they look - but the neck was HUUUGE. Wide like a P should be, but then deep too - even more so than my mates MIJ 51. I never gelled, and flogged it to buy a Blue CS 64 Jazz.

    People Help The People - Cherry Ghost Vessel In Vain - Smog think that’s it for now... I always wanted “Anaesthesia/Pulling Teeth - Metallica/Cliff Burton” at the committal. That would be cool...

    If I said your legs looked terrible in shorts...would you hold them against me...🤔
  23. AndyTravis
    I have a mate who wears them between March and November... I only wear shorts when it’s sunny (so about 4 days a year in Manchester 😉)

    I make no excuses, I do it way too much, I’ve used it in bands and it’s unfortunately like a default setting at times. I absolutely can play other styles, and I do lots of that too. I completely agree it’s done to death. But to me it’s just the same as a pick, finger style or using an ebow...a sound/style/technique. There are quite a few YouTube/Instagram players who do it to an extent I find moderately offensive - only because it’s thrown at every song and is their “thing”. It’s like chocolate. Nice to have every now and then, but will make you sick eventually if you binge on it. I certainly don’t get the “slap is crap” mentality - just like I would never Deride a pick style player (Bobby Vega/Cody Wright?). And so on.

    Well. I was about to ask “what’s it like to win the lottery?”
