Wanted one of these for years, got one but its just not for me. Practically brand new, it does have a small mark on the laquer at the tip of the headstock, other than that I can't find any other marks on it. Mahogany body with mahogany set neck and rosewood fretboard. 2 humbuckers and individual volume and tone controls with pickup selector switch - much the same as a Rickenbacker. It actually balances remarkably well considering the shape. I'm going to be using it tonight with the wedding band by virtue of the fact that my fretless conversion isn't finished yet and my Bronco isn't here yet.- I haven't used it yet with the wedding band so we'll see how it goes i would prefer to sell but if you have anything interesting that you'd like to trade of the bass variety then let me know and we can maybe work something out. £170 delivered to mainland UK and comes shipped in a Fender gig bag.

didn't they do something mental like an 18", 15" and 4x10" in one cab as well? The trouble was that no one wanted to lift the buggers so they had to make smaller cabs
-
I used an AH150 through a Trace 1248H so the amp would've been putting out about 90 'Trace' watts had I felt the need to actually turn up but it was loud as hell with the amp turned down quite low. When I was over seeing Chris (Thornybank) I was fortunate enought to be able to try a lot of Trace gear from all periods and the more modern it was, the more compressed and 'sucky' the tone was - the best was the old Mark 2 combo (I think that's what it was). The older cabs were phenomenal as well.

You need a GK 700RB II and a trace 2x15" (there;s one on Ebay now but collection only) Everyone's going to have their own story but I went through the phase of wanting smaller and lighter and this and that. The best results I've had for oomph have been with mainly older Trace stuff: V-Type Combo & 1518 cab 1110 4x10" Mark V combo with the same cab 7210H & 1048H Mark V AH150 with Trace 1248H and onto the rig I am using now. We've all heard it before but unless my back gives way or something else happens, this is my rig for as long as I can lift it.

If I lived closer I'd have had that

Best reasonably priced fretted ibanez to defret?
Delberthot replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
I'm in the middle of defretting a Squier Precision Special and I've found the build quality to be excellent. I bought it used on the forum for £80. I originally bought it to try my hand at properly defretting and epoxying a bass neck but I'm really getting into it and have decided to make this a cheapy project to be my main gigging bass -
pity you won't consider posting the 8 string or I would ptobably have had that -

Gotoh's are they? I've only ever had that happen once before and it was a set of Gotoh resolites I was installing
-
corrosion or dirt? corrosion - If the plating's coming off then you can get the parts replated. dirty - soak the parts in cheap cola for a few hours, dunk them in water then dry thoroughly

Hooray for me :brow: -
A battery in my stingray would generally last anything up to a year before I changed it which I then put in my tuner which would last another year, so yes, it looks like there's some kind of permanent circuit happening which is causing the battery to be constantly on
-
This is a bargain for what looks like an 'as new' bass that has been setup and has brand new strings fitted
-
If the bassline is instantly recognisable then I will play it exactly like it should be played, ditto if I think that a bassline is so good that to change it would ruin the song. The song should still sound like the original but if the original was bland then I will add what I think will improve it - Daydream Believer by the Monkeys which we still get asked for is an example where it is really dull and boring so we pep it up a bit to give it more impact. I normally focus improvs at parts where there isn't reallything happening as regards vocals or guitar solos etc. That said I do a slap bass bit at the drum break of Do You Love Me by the Contours It is easy to get carried away sometimes as the drummer and I have been playing in bands for years and he is very talented. 9 times out of 10 the audience won't notice as long as it isn't completely noticable that the song sounds terrible due to someone playing utter garbage

nice
-
Ah, is that one of the new Squire Startocastors modelled after the original Fedner Precission Base guitars?
-
That's a classic C&W bass - light blue, maple board, perloid or whatever its called plate, classic Precision style, rhinestones on the shoes and a big cowboy hat i can picture the confederate flag sticker on the case now
-
country and western player? They're usually big on that type of scratchplate material
-
I've just bought a Squier Bronco of Ebay to see if I like shortscale. I've always been intrigued with shortscale basses but haven't really played one for long enough
-
yeah, they're a wee bit pricey [url="http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=celestion+G12-65&_sacat=See-All-Categories"]http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trk...-All-Categories[/url]

Bought one from him and waiting for it to arrive. I thought I'd order the longer one (he does 2 different sizes) I've decided in the end to make the lines invisible and am just working out what to do with top facing lines as the dots on the top will now be out as the show the middle point of 2 frets instead of on the fret which is what I need now.
-
Thanks. I'm doing this at my own pace so I've plenty of time I;ve taken the frets out and filled them. Once my radius sanding block arrives I'm going to sand it smooth and use the Liberon ebony wood dye I've had lying around for ages for such a project. Once its as dark as I want it I've got burnishing cream to clean up the board and make the front dots visible again. I'm not sure what the stage is after that before I put the epoxy on - lemon oil, denatured alcohol? I'll need to have another rake about.
-
The Lollar I had in my last Precision worked perfectly with distortion but they are wound similar to the original so if not a lollar then one of the SPB-1 or SPB-2 or anything more conventional
