BassBiscuit

The bass isn't going to be a keeper. It's a long story and has been a catalogue of disaster... But here we are and I quite its looks and sound.... It's just a bit of a lump.... If I sold it (or tried to) I'd never get anywhere near what it's cost me so far... I'll decide what to do with it once I have a better replacement.... BB

Shame.. They were top notch kit weren't they...?

Thank you for your replies.... Think it's gonna be way more complicated than I thought.... TBH it's not worth spending any more money on.... So gonna just leave it as is. Regards. BB

I have an unbranded jazz 4 string that I like the look of and I like the sound of.... But... It weighs approx 5 Kilos... FIVE....!! The body is solid and made of Ash. So.... I'm thinking if I have the body routed out and a pickguard fitted to cover the big hole. And therefore reduce weight. Would that have a detrimental effect on the sound ?. Or anything else.....? What does the collective think to the idea... good or not good.? Worth doing or not worth doing? Or.. I leave as is and just carry on sitting down with it....!!! Regards. BB.

I hope it all works out for you eventually...

That's shocking service.....

Good news........ But does the collective feel confident that an order, particularly an expensive one, and one that requires a wait, would be fulfilled...?

Keep getting emails from Bax Music... Thought they went under recently..? Are they still trading?

I think they look great... I think 'HotRox' have them....

Really cool...! Where is that from...?

Shame cos it was a nicely produced mag.. Had a quality feel to it, glossy with excellent photography.. The reviews could have been better, and was a bit repetitive in the editorial, but it inspired to look elsewhere for more detail.

Is that not just the paint finish design to allude to 'reliccyness' ... ?

So things haven't improved since I gave up with it then....

Just been back on Fender site and the Performer series is back listed again. So must have been just a website error...

I see what you did there...!!☺️

Mmm. So Fender won't show 'em to you on the site but you can order one..... And then Snorkie gets an email showing 'em as still being buyable...! Would any one else deduce they are in fact discontinued... Fender floggin' off remaining stock?... Cos there is a new one due...??

Paul Thompson...?

Roxy... Fabulous.....!! Saw 'em with Eno not long before he left. I was just a teenager... And... WOW....! He released 'Here come the warm Jets'.. His first release after leaving, and it blew me.... Not heard anything like it, as revolutionary to me as 'Iggy' was.... Not Roxy I know but I'd put the Ferry version of 'Hard rains a gonna fall' in my all time top 10.....

Have Fender discontinued it..? Seems to have disappeared from site...

Astonishingly good..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHy1iKBtTq4
