  1. I see the Fender Mod Shop has come to the UK at last: https://www.fender.com/en-GB/mod-shop.html?rl=en_US. £1949 as a base price for basses...
  2. A heavy Sadowsky? Crikey!
  3. If I had the money to spare I'd happily snap it up in a heartbeat, but alas I have more pressing purchases required. GLWTS though!
  4. Otis Redding - Cigarettes and Coffee
  5. Presumably to throw people off the scent? They're cunning on OC, don'tcherknow.
  6. How about a Tech21 Bass Fly Rig? I believe it'll do most if not all of what you're after.
  7. Paul Weller - Woodcutter's Son
  8. Oasis - Slide Away
  9. Guineas? Great Scott!
  10. That's good to hear, because I'd quite like one of the new ME basses but I agree the headstock decal looks awful. I mean I'd love to get the one new Japanese ME that's still listed on one of the main online retailer sites (not saying which one because I'd still like it to be there when I have the money for it) but in the event that it's been bought by then I'll hang on until the Chinese MEs have the proper Sadowsky logo on them.
  11. Sister Sledge - We Are Family
  12. I'll be honest, as I approach 50 getting a "proper" Fender becomes more appealing, and the Ultra range is definitely on the list.
  13. It grows on you. Honestly I don't even think anything about the headstock on mine 2 years after getting it. I've seen fuglier ones as well.
  14. OK, the word on the street is that we'll be heading Staffs way on 6th November. Does that work for you?
  15. I'm going to try and sort out heading down that way next month
  16. Mine was love at first sight, and I still love it 24 years later. It has one quirk in that the fretboard profile is elliptical, almost as if it's been squashed, with the outer radius at 9½" and the central radius at 16".
  17. I bought my Korean Squier by Fender P-bass in 1998 for £230 (well, it was £180 after a part-exchange of my first bass, a Hohner Rockwood Pro), which according to that website is £398 in today's money. The non-Affinity and non-anniversary Squier P-basses listed on Fender's website are all around £400, so it would seem that they have been keeping up with inflation.
  18. Can we add Este Haim into the mix?
  19. Elton John - Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting
  20. She's filling in on bass for Mercyful Fate on their North American tour too!
  21. Which is a fair point, but will they be bringing out vintage basses from the 90s onwards at any point (if it's over 25 years it's vintage, and all that) or do we think the "vintage" era as far as Fender is concerned stopped in 1979.
  22. Damn, I want the V5R now
  23. I need to arrange a meet up with a friend in Leek in the not-too-distant future, so could kill two birds with one stone. Are you in Stoke proper or elsewhere in the six towns?
  24. It's an extra strap button that were on Fender basses in the 60s I think. Here's Elvis using the strap button in this location:
  25. Also check out Alissia Benviniste:
