Might bring a nostalgic smile to one or two faces....

1980.... Realized that 6 strings where 2 to many!

1980 JHS Guitar Amp and Columbus Jazz Bass (Not Bad!)
Custom Sound (Trucker 1x12") with BOSS EQ
Marshall 50w....(Why?) with Marshall 4x12"
1978 Fender Precision from Chase Music in Manchester
Marshall 100w...thats better!
McGregor 150w
2 Peavey 1x15" Cabs
Trace Elliot GP7 - One of the first in the country in 1983 from A1 in Manchester
WAL Pro One - 1981 WAL...!


Trace/Peavey Rig Fender and WAL sold Noooooooooooooo! :huh: due to realizing I could never play like Mark King and developed interest in Cars and Women..... :)


1995 - Stuff Mark King!!!!!.....


1995 Bass Collection fretless - Cack
Fender 1967? reissue in some sort of tiger stripe finish - I must have been pissed!
Peavey Microbass
Fender Jap 1981 - battered to hell - bargain for £150 (See below)
Ashdown Five Fifteen - Cheap and Cack - expired after 30 months

Today....

AMPEG BA115T with Above battered Precision Relogo(ed) to 70's TV friendly PRECISION BASS logo new ROTOSOUNDS and setup plays like a dream................................ :huh:

Oh very nice. There's a few luthiers around Somerset/Wiltsire/Dorset, a lovely wood store also - if you're into that sort of thing.

Rig wise, I just use a Trace combo with a load of added crap to (try and) make it sound like a valve amp.

For a nice Corfe pub, The Halfway Inn at Norden is alright when it's not too crowded. Good food too.


Chin chin,

paul.

Mornin! - Sorry - no pics - bought it for £280 in 1984 :huh: flogged it to a mate 1 year later (after I packed in) to buy a car :) Tried to buy back off mate 6 months later but he had PX'd for a Status in a shop in Liverpool.It was a Burgundy Pro One single pickup with a battery recess on the scratchplate.It played like a dream........Any idea how much Pro Ones are today?

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='38850' date='Jul 30 2007, 11:20 AM']How can you have a 1981 Japanese Fender? I thought they only started Fender in Japan in March 1982, with production beginning in April 1982?![/quote]

Serial Number check = 1981 (BASSBOOK) - Thanks for your interest anyway - 1981 isnt exactly vintage! I would have preferred a Sunburst '67 I could have had in 1982 for £350 from A1 in Manchester Oxford Road....
