Sorry can't help the dislexia... What I was trying to ascertain is that for those owners of a Precision Bass(es), how old is it/are they and what is it/are they strung with. Don't see why you can't include a Chistmas list item that Santa cruelly overlooked if you want?

Multiple entries allowed for everything. I just went for the decades thing otherwise could get very involved with pre CBS dates etc etc.

I've moved to Picato now as I prefer them and they're also reasonably wallet friendly at about £18.

Cheers fellows. Is there a particular way to identify compatible SPs from vendors, i.e. do they specifiy which basses match their template? It's early days yet and I've not decided what I'm looking for colour wise nor gone hunting for suppliers (midnight wine bass, parchment SP at present).

If I wanted to change the scratch plate on my Fender MIM P is it as simple as removing the control knobs, undoing the screws and then reversing the process? Slightly emabarrassed to ask

Welcome indeed

Just acquired a lovely MIM P bass. A pleasure to deal with, excellent comms, brutally honest description of the bass and a genuinely nice bloke. A top banana.

Looks good. There seems to be a bit of a movement to BF cabs on here now.

I'm jealous (but only a tiny bit as I'm running a Compact - very soon to be two Compacts!)

I used to have a 1x15 and a 2x10 Ashdown rig. This had now become a 1x15 Barefaced Compact rig which sounds pretty much the same in terms of "volume" and weighs 12kg compared to 56kgs for the two Ashdown cabs and occupies approximately 1/3 of the space in the back of my estate car. It's also cleaner and much more defined tone across the whole range. I'm awaiting delivery of a second cab, not because it's necessary to keep up with the two guitars, but because 2 Compacts will be be an awseome combination! The BF Sper 12 might be worth investigating, but get in touch with Alex at BF who is completely brilliant at customer service.

I was just about to start a slightly different version of this as I feel a Fender P is probably a bit out of my budget. So I hope you don't mind me dropping in on this thread! I was looking at Squiers and the Vintage V4 range as a starting point and was after a few comments - particularly on the Vintage basses as they seem to be similarly spec'd but that bit cheaper? There was a white V4 on evilbay getting no love at all that looked in decent condition (apart from a dodgy sticker) - my favourite hue for a P. For info. I've c. £200 +/- to spend. What are the Squier MIJ basses like? Cheers

Yeah, it looked like one of those too-good-to-be-true items you see on evilbay. I'd never heard of them so was just curious...

Can anybody tell me about this bass please that I happened across on evilbay when I was nosing around for no good reason yesterday?

Just completed the sale of my Spector Legend to Mark. Very good to deal with, excellent communications throughout, a real gent and a pleasure to deal with. I would happily do business again and would heartily recommend him. Alain

Yeah, great live too. I saw them in Southampton in 1980 or possible 1981.

Yes it's a little corner of tranquility in the midst of a sea of mistrust fuelled by an unscrupulous media.

I use an MB500 and would totally endorse what Merton says! It gets carried around in my rucksack.

I use a GK MB500 with a Compact (soon to be Compacts!) - great combo, and I rarely use much EQ and no Contour!

Just ordered the second Compact to go for the Compact/Compact stack. The first one is great, two should be awesome!
