Bassfinger Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, Bassassin said: I missed a delivery for a cab a few years ago & went to the depot to pick it up. While I was waiting for someone to find it I could see a van (typical Luton style box van) being loaded - boxes & packages were heaped on the ground at the back of the van, and the guys were literally using the pile as a ramp, running up & down it to take stuff inside the vehicle. I would say this is evidence that's a standard practice. We had some equipment delivered at work, a monitor for a piece of machinery, and there was a set of cricket stumps painted on the side. Clearly the lads in the courier warehouse had a little game in their lunch break. Fortunately the gear was undamaged, but it shows how lovingly your valuables get treated while in transit.

Lfalex v1.1 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Nice. Glad it survived. Stories like these are why I collect in person and don't ship when selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I love the look of the 60/70s Fenders with the ashtrays but I’d too have to take them straight off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 One more little vid.. honestly man, it's SO EASY to play, and it resonates like it's alive. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munurmunuh Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Fender really should look into making all Precisions sound like that 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph_Rock Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 When I saw all the foot prints over your box I was whizzed off, I'm just glad the bass turned out ok, and that it was protected by an old school wooden case. Enjoy her she's a beaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Great looking bass! Are you leaning towards flats or rounds on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flats had I been gigging. But... rounds sound nice when you're plunking around in the house, so I'll probably stick with those for now.

Lozz196 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Sounds great, nice playing too, I’ve just been learning that song, they had to have been on serious drugs back then, way too complicated and far too many timing changes! Additionally I noticed a very Stranglers/Nice & Sleazy inspiring riff in one of the breakdown parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
