    That is like mixing matter and anti-matter; no good will come of it. Six days in and not bought anything yet, sorry people I will strive to do better.

    A bit like this one (although I think this is platinum)? I'm actually rather liking that combo the more I look at it.

    Good point @ped I had a Bacchus P bass that was smaller in size to the Fender offering and had 21 frets.

    I think it's pretty much a black and white decision (sorry, couldn't resist). Grey pearl might be fun though?

    I'm due a new custom TT imminently and, as I was dithering a bit over p/guard colour, I ordered 2 additional colours as well as the 'standard fit' item. I know, I really am that shallow

    I had one for a while. Lovely neck, sub 9lbs and genuinely a very good instrument. Gratuitous pic.:

    +1 for a Sandberg TT.

    Neither fashinable nor left-field, but I really enjoyed/still enjoying Bruce Springsteen's Letter To You.

    Can I ask if your other half could talk to my other half about bass purchases please

    Sound samples have got me thinking about flat on one of my P basses. Hitherto I've stuck solidly to nickel or pure nickel round-wounds but the flats do sound really nice on that bass.

    Me too. It has to be in the moment.

    How about the MIJ/CIJ Geddy Lee Js. Only the MIM or MIA variant now so they may be worth watching. I've always had a soft spot for the Squier Silver Series too. Then there is always the odd little side model Yamaha do e.g. the Yamaha Billy Sheehan Attitude Special that may do well in the post apocalypse.

    Do you mean you've bought a guitar Burn him, for he is a witch.

    Do you have any idea about how many people constitute "a few people" and a ball-park price?

    Good call.

    Supertramp maybe?

    Light still a bit rubbish to do justice to a black bass. Managed to get a few decent pics of the 'board and frets for the time being though.

    I think California II series is a bit smaller as it was also reshaped to be a lighter-weigh bass that the first series.

    Fender Japan PJ-455 Precision Bass MIJ For sale is this Fender Japan E Series bass (made between 1984 and 1987) that, as far as I can see, is reasonably rare. The PJ-455 is a hybrid precision/jazz bass with a P-Bass neck pickup and a Jazz Bass pickup in the 70s bridge position. The control layout is the classic volume/volume/master tone giving you a very decent tonal palette to explore. While many of these basses from similar series during the era had black necks and headstocks, the PJ-455 took the traditional natural P-Bass style headstock. It’s fair to say that body has ‘mojo’ being somewhat road-worn with a few dings and scrapes. The neck is good with a lovely satin played in feel plus one small nick on the back. Fret wear is minimal. All the electrics work fine. The bass is all original as far as I can see and comes with a decent gig bag. This is a really nice-playing bass with a lot of punch. Priced at a very resonable £450 Specs: 7.25” radius slab Rosewood fretboard with 20 vintage frets 34” scale Maple one-piece neck with very tactile satin finish Basswood body – Very comfortable for long gigs weighing in at only 8.5lbs (3.8kg) Slender jazz bass type neck with a 38mm nut Gotoh tuners Passive electronics: Neck volume, Bridge volume, master Tone control pot As ever I'd prefer to meet up and am happy to jump in the car and meet half way somewhere rather than risk a courier if humanly possible although I appreciate that at the moment it is likely to be the only option and will be an additional £25. If you have any questions please ask, or indeed if you want any more pictures of any detail.

    Thanks. The spacing is akin to a 60's Jazz. The pickups are the Nordstrand 51P (humbucking version). Really pleased with the whole package, but as has been said above a tad pricier than a modded Squier. I actually played the prototype c. 1 year ago at a guitar show and vowed to save up/sell a few basses and order one. Absolutely no regrets!

    I've clearly been negligent in my duties
