  2. Squier Sonic Precision in Lime Green (Ltd colour apparently) and all very shiny! Bought new direct from Fender but part of the bass herd thinning and in excellent condition as it was my lounge bass just used at home for noodling on. Frets levelled, nut-groove height sorted and all fully setup with rounds and good to go. I popped a better quality loom in there and Tru-Oiled the neck as the bare maple was just a bit characterless, plus oiled up the fretboard which is rosewood. Happy to post.
  3. The buyer can easily customize this with the @Kiwi carbon neck. Would be one serious instrument.

  5. Yeah that's true. It's like some people rate TI's and LaBella Flats and to me, those aren't in my top 5 flats. IMO/IME, I reckon it's how the strings mate to your pickup. I've tried the same string on several basses (p-bass and jazz) and they sound garbage. Then I put them on my Warwick and they sound perfect. So on my Warwick I have GHS Flats, my parts p-bass with MEC actives I have Dunlop Flats and my daughters p-bass with DiMarzio Relentless Middle pickups has the Fender 9050L strings. But yeah, definitely horses for courses 😊👍🏽
  6. I'll take this Mike!
  7. I bought a US jazz off a guy in clacton on sea one Saturday about 7 years ago, and he gave me an old HH VS bassamp and an Ashdown 15 cab he no longer wanted, I think he was moving out of his flat, I’ve still got the amp, a few of the knob’s have a slight crackle but it’s still going and sounds quite good . a few years later an elderly gentleman came round to see my Ashdown mag amp I had advertised, he hadn’t played for years and wanted to get back into it, he bought the amp and I gave him the cab for free
  8. Dakota Red Squier Precision 40th Anniversary Vintage Edition in excellent as new condition and fitted with a series/parallel pull/push volume knob. I've recently moved house and realised I have too many Precisions so I need to thin the herd. Bought new on a whim and only left the house when I moved 🙂 The series/parallel is a subtle thing but noticeable, which is probably why they never really caught on with p-basses. All fully set-up with rounds on and good to go. Price includes postage, or collection and I'll knock a bit off. If I can find a basic gig-bag I'll throw it in.

  9. Someone you've never heard of who appears in a TV programme with "Celebrity" in the title.
  10. "Top Tonewoods", "Best basses for metal".
  11. The Keith McMillen Batt-O-Meter works very well, with the proviso that you can't check an 18V preamp by plugging in to the jack socket, you need to take the batteries out and test them individually.
  12. I'd buy it in a heartbeat but I have the same head unit (amongst others) and a couple of TE cabs ( a 2x10 + 1x15) so really can't justify it. 🫤
  13. If anyone is thinking of getting some PJB gear, here’s a 20% off discount code…
  14. Stunning bass, and excellent playing. 👏
  15. This is already a bargain - I paid £165 for mine second-hand and was glad to find one at that price.
  16. Hi Mark, no this is neither small or light, sorry. I’ll see if I can get a weight from Ashdown, but in all honesty - much like an SVT - if you need to know the weight, this probably isn’t the unit for you 😕
  17. Today
  18. Bought this 4 months ago from Thomann. Used twice in my studio which is smoke free. This is an incredibly powerful bit of kit. As well as creating amazing sounds, it can also be used as a 2in/2out audio interface. Super versatile, compact, lightweight and sturdy. Comes with original box, power lead and unopened manuals. No marks at all. Absolutely like new. Collection preferred but can meet within a reasonable distance of Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan. Postage and packing included in price. Thanks in advance. Take care. Cheers ☺️✨
  19. I think it depends on the amount of solder you use. My understanding is that silder will ooze under pressure, so your screw-tight pressure will reduce over time, and eventually become a faulty connection. David
  20. Send it back I reckon. It sounds like you've invested £1000 into something that you don't love and aren't going to pick up and play much. You'll instantly lose at least £400 if you flip it in a few months and investing a further £700 in it makes no sense at all to me as it will still not be a real Bongo.
  21. I bought a vintage 70's P bass a few months ago and in the case was a 70's Melos Mini Fazer (Univox). It even had a decades old battery in it. I swapped the battery and it works fine!
