    In addition, take your time, small adjustments. In all the basses and guitars I have owned (too many) I had never worried about small adjustments and taking time. I had never had any problems, truss rods did what they should, instruments set up well.. Now I have an expensive quality bass (£4 figures) where the truss rod has compressed the wood and lifted the fingerboard. Lesson learned after 45 years! Bass is now in dry dock.

    Used the Dubster at band tonight. Two 3015 LFs with an adequate wattage made the earth move

    Likewise They do the business.

    Guitar player in band has HB telecaster (custom? one HB). Stonking guitar, not sure I can see why my USA tele is that much better. Guitar / bass world in terms of price and performance is somewhat random these days. Sadly I have just bought another bass £90 so will have to pass by this excellent machine.

    Unbelievable value, more like a garage-load of bass for the money

    Fender 7250M are the Nickel-Plated Steel Roundwound strings

    And if you are not bothered about the Fender logo then you have a world of choice. My keeper p bass has been / is a 1987 G&L SB1 (the precision mk3?) which I bought in 1990. 1980s models can be picked up for £650 or so, imo it is a better bass than the 77 p I bought new (which was pretty good).

    Having the same bass with the same Hipshot bridge, I agree.

    I realised it was a genuine epistemological model made in Indianapolis. Clearly not a Gibofakir. How does €14k sound? Please ignore forum violation.

    Extremely rare and highly valuable, much sought after. PMd with offer.

    Can't fault my 2014 SG bass for build quality (there is the other perennial issue, neck dive, which could and should have be designed out by now) and bought used the price was excellent. Bought used it was also about the right price for a new one when I compare it to what is available from China / India / Korea / Indonesia / Japan? (choose country and price as applicable). In the age of CNC precision manufacturing, providing you can obtain quality wood then IMO there is no 'magic sauce' anymore. It is just down to good design, manufacture and quality control. Other than specialist luthier build, guitars have entered the world of white goods, they are commodities.

    What are the dimensions - width and length? I may have a suitable recipient bass.

    Sort of arrived at the halfway house to this by accident. Took the Fearful 15/6/1 concept to Shermann Audio (PA builders) and had them build a FRFR 15/6/1 lightweight bass cab. It is about the size of a Peavey TNT bass combo. It also makes a good PA cab whilst retaining the 'traditional' cab appearance. Without going to IEMs the biggest issue I find at present is drum volume, and that is with a sensible drummer. I am gradually persuading the band that quieter on stage is better.

    Excellent communication, machine heads arrived rapidly and very well packed. Many thanks.

    I have also had that same thought, 9mm ply box. I then think by the time I have done the woodwork I might just get a Peavey minmax 500 head for my diy combo. I still use Peavey Tour 700s. In my A/B with the Marshall VBA400 I also owned, the Tour 700s suited me better.

    +1 on the same combo 1981 to 2004 ish. Am thinking what would one be like with a suitable neo speaker and ports.
