Total Watts

  1. 5,8 but otherwise nailed on for me 😂 I once played my fretless with a group of bass players and my intonation of the first position on the G string was awful. I just couldn’t get near the note. I probably play 50/50 acoustic and plugged in at home so if it sounds good acoustically that helps.
  2. If it was sold, market expectation is for it to be pulled apart for the pictures anyway? The OP has indicated he would keep all the original parts. Once back together, the prospective new buyer would know no difference.
  3. As long as you keep the original parts it’s all reversible! The reason there are so many after market parts is down to people “upgrading”
  4. Yeh it’s annoying but fair play for listing. I’m sure there’s plenty that wouldn’t on a rewound pickup. edit: just seen your similar post further up. Note to self, read the whole thread before commenting!
  5. Check out this beauty! This is my second favourite pre CBS colour combo after black with matching h/s: https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1964-fender-jazz-bass/
  6. Whatever you guys are up to in bass direct it’s working. There’s been some glorious bucket list gear pass through your website recently and I’m gutted I’ve not been in a position to click buy!
  7. Well I disagree with you but that’s why judges/ jury’s exist. In the poster’s scenario he could turn down the offer of the bass so as not to acquire any new gear… the point of the thread. Mean spirited, from a Scot, blimey! Agree it is just for fun. It’s a difference in opinion and no one is forcing the happy basschatter to return his new bass or leave the group.
  8. Nice story, but this is where it falls down in my head. The online mentioning that triggered the gift was the desired model. I’d say that has an element of choice, similar to you picking a guitar up in store. As above, no prompt as to receiving a gift but a prompt online as to what you wanted even if not directed at your friend. There’s still room for interpretation in the rules that allow it to be judged on a case by case basis. The jury has spoken on this one!
  9. If it’s the rules then fair enough. I think there is an argument on the unsolicited front as it sounds like it was prompted but I hope the accused enjoys his NBD!
  10. I’d say so. You’re only cheating yourself as you’re acquiring new gear no matter the price paid.
  11. I’m not sure, but Bartolini rings a bell. I just remember he was getting so much work for electric upgrades and repairs he thought what else can I do to improve the fenders. Quite a lot it turned out!
  12. Just the electrics from sadowsky
  13. I guess we will never know if there have been talks in private over the years. I suspect there is a level of endorsement/ sponsor to some of the basses they showcase.
  14. Plectrums on basschat? Send him to the tower!
  15. They made a 6 burner with humbuckers I believe. Not as common as the 4s though.
