Neat install, saves you from resorting to burn your bass to keep warm.

My 2nd Kliq strap arrived yesterday in readiness for the T-Bird delivery tomorrow, yay. Really comfortable straps though.

Hello Bass Novice, welcome to Basschat

I really regret selling my 1976 Thunderbird which was bought for £500 about 1980. Sold it to a music shop in York for £300 to pay the rent. Subsequently heard that the new owner had broken the headstock. Never mind...

12 months ago I became really ill. We started the band from scratch and we're pretty good over the 6 years /4-6 gigs a month. The last year has been a nightmare for me being in an out of hospital and the band folding, the guitarist got fed up along with one of the vocalists. I'm in a much better place now and would love to get back on stage again, after playing gigs for over 45 years l can't get my head around messing around at home. I'm also single, retired and live alone so miss the interaction very much. Need to get back on the bike in more ways than one. My issues were sciatica and alcohol abuse, sciatica cleared up and not a drop consumed since. Feel great and raring to go. I'll probably drop by the depression thread at some point and explain a little more 🙃

About 8 years ago I bought this 1965 Precision from Kings Rd Vintage Guitars. The neck plate number on Guitar dater says 1956, nothing found on the Fender site. It was advertised as being the house bass at Shangri-la Recording Studios and came in a Vintage case with the 'Mountain Dew Boys' stenciling on it. Somewhat battered and bruised but plays and sounds really good. Weird regarding the plate number though.

Trace Elliott AH500 2x10+1x15 and Hartke LH1000+2 4x10 cabs are the big guns I'm very happy with. However, due to advancing years it's the Ashdown through the p.a that gets the work these days. The old HH hasn't moved for years.

I've used the Shure GLXD4 setup for years now without issue.

Hello and welcome Yolanda.

Hi, welcome from a fellow newbie 😊

Blimey Mike, I do remember. Still a vibrant music scene around here and yes, I know what you mean. Below are the latest additions to the camp. Good to hear from you. Ian

I began learning bass at 14yrs old and will be 62 in a few weeks, how time passes. Looking forward to being part of your community.
