    Fender Player Series PBass in metallic Silver with upgraded HiMass Fender bridge fitted Black pickguard fitted, original white one included in the sale Black pickguard has usual playing marks on it etc Lovely virtually mint condition and set up nicely and plays well I have the original box so I can pack ready for shipping if the buyer arranges a courier collection UK shipping only Note: Friday 15th to 22nd Sept I’m away on holiday so unable to ship during that week Be sorry to see this go but I have three basses in my collection so this must go and I could do with the money !! No trades or silly offers as it really is a fine example however near offers will be acceptable!

    I’m liking my Vintera so much I think I will be selling one of my Player Series PBass ( Metallic Silver / Pau Ferro neck ) as I’ve got too many !!

    Avoid picks that have a shiny surface I find many picks that have a gloss finish tend to move in the fingers more do than matte surface

    Genzler 4 on the floor works for me as always on. Added bonus of HPF and LPF makes it a powerful device

    Update to Genzler 4 on the floor I’m finding the best sounds are using the HPF set around 11 o clock taking some of the low frequencies out on the drive and reducing the LPF to around 12 o clock to take out harsh high frequencies. I use it as an always on pedal in front of my MG800 and ABM600

    The Genzler 4 on the floor has fantastic HPF and LPF on the drive Really makes a difference to the tone and I can see how useful they are
  7. BassAdder60
    Yep same !!

    Never gave it much thought about the sliders on my ABM600 Taking the roqsolid cover off always seems to turn the rotary knobs a bit though !

    Tried a black pickguard ( 10 hole ) and didn’t like it .. made it look cheap and no longer classy ! Put back to original and the anodised aluminium one helps the shielding too

    ABM V has been out for months direct from Ashdown and U.K. built Compared to the ABM600 IV I couldn’t hear any difference! I sent mine back and stayed with the 600

    So guys … what about BBOT bridges ?? 🙄😉😂
  13. BassAdder60
    I gig this song and find with fingers I get close enough to be good enough I can play it with a pick better as the attack for the gallop really comes through and compliments the guitar sound Tone issue … fingers sounds full but less articulate.. good enough or pick is less full but articulation is spot on ( palm muting helps )
  14. BassAdder60
    I find large triangle picks tend to minimise the moving in your fingers issue

    GLWTS lovely looking bass

    All this discussion about bridges makes you really question the expense of some products in search of tone. Where a simple change of technique or pick thickness can make a huge difference to your tone ! Exotic rare wood for your next bass project ? Only if you plan to hang it on a wall as art 😂🎸

    DPD every time 👍

    And back to the bridge question ! I’ve replaced them for other reasons than tone although sustain may or may not be a factor but I’m not concerned about that particularly. More importantly it looks more in keeping with a standard Fender bridge and the adjustment is better and I can achieve lower action ( important to me ) The other point is Hosco threaded saddles seem far superior to the BBOT on Player Series that are famed at moving and grub screws becoming loose as you play over some hours ( gig ) Plus they look bloody cool too 🤟

    Took me ages to find I prefer the 7250 compared to DR, Elixir, Daddario, Ernie Ball, Elites, Etc etc They are the stock strings on Fender and they just work. I tune down to Eb and the tension is perfect for this

    Did you pay for insurance cover ? Evri is the last people I would use for shipping musical gear ( sorry ) DPD, Parcelforce, UPS, FedEx etc are better as the move a lot of the shops gear to customers I hope you get it sorted

    Fender 7250M x three packs for three basses approx £20 a pack and I change every 3 months on average

    Ok all my PBass have vintage bridges now and I like the look and feel of them. They look visually more correct and so far I’m happy I’m hoping the feint lines in the lacquer will disappear over time where the large HiMass were fitted Simple change to the bass but I think worth it and I can get lower action too
  23. BassAdder60
    I still love this song, so simple yet a great crowd pleaser in pubs etc
  24. BassAdder60
    ^+1 this .. I changed my Player Series bent bridge because the saddles would move and grub screws wind out. Himass fitted removed that problem completely. However they do look ugly and out of proportion sitting on a PBass The arrival of my Vintera which has the vintage bridge with threaded saddles open my eyes to the alternative hence buying the Hosco Japanese bridge with threaded saddles. One bass ( my Silver one ) returned to this bridge and my other Player which also has a HiMass on it is yet to be changed back, next string change probably
  25. BassAdder60
    Me neither .. a thumpy tone of flats and foam is great for some genres but for me a sustained clear ringing note from roundwounds is my aim ( rock ) Playing with a pick is also helpful with this as is correct EQ at the amp
