It's probably the right decision Chris......., especially at that price. All the best gear seems to be in the south east at the mo' John

That's very nice,......... black with maple, ...P/J config, what more do you need?....I'm sure you'll think of something..;-) Simply gawjus!

Price drop and trade option bump.

Again, thanks for the info Chris. I'll have think. I do wonder if I'm after the impossible. The nearest I had was an LMII and Epifani 1x12.....which, of course, I sold. Did the DB, open and airy when needed but deep and rocky when called upon......GAS..sigh!

Bump for sale now or trade for P or J passive bass Small amp/rig/combo Acoustic 6 string Or £450 ono.

Thanks for that Clarky. Much appreciated. :-)

Sorry for dumb question Chris, but what's the power rating on the combo alone, then with the ext. It's probably in the thread, or previous thread, but my eyes aren't seeing it. I've tried a google search and all that comes up are yours and Clarky's exchange threads!! :-) I'm wondering if this would work as a DB, electric bass and acoustic guitar "all in one set up"....?? I'm playing less electric bass these days, and more acoustic guitar and DB....sooooo....a one amp solution?? Might be up for a trip onto the M25. John

[quote name='Gilby' timestamp='1349626123' post='1828402'] Up to late nineties, affinities were full thickness bodies, string through, solid alder. The the big but with this one is that the traditional fender bridge is shorter than the squier ones. To retrofit a traditional plate you will leave three screw holes from the squier bridge that need to be plugged with dowels. Can't see that from these pics. In addition, the truss rod access is unfinished on an affinity but this one looks painted. Bit of a mystery body but if it sounds fine, who cares ? [/quote] Thanks for that info Gilby. A mystery indeed. But it does sound lovely. John

Hi, I'm not sure the exact model. But I'm pretty sure it's not an affinity as its string through body. But am happy to be corrected. John

This is madness! The Swiss Army knife of basses for £500, with money back guarantee!!
