Ooof, why would you do this to a Barefaced cab?

I've done worse, lol -
Before it came into use as a ' substitute' for rosewood, I'd always assumed pau ferro was a premium option, seeing it on Sadowskys and higher spec Fenders (such as SRV strat) etc. I've never owned a bass with a pf board, but I from what I've heard suspect I would like it!
-
Correct. Great sounding pickup and a great playing little vintage Fender! -

This has mojo! Also, I recognise that quarter pounder 👍🏻

You can certainly get excellent value at GH, with very little risk. Even more so if you attend and bid in person. Congratulations on a very good buy.

A bit of a time warp gig last night, an old fashioned dinner/dance evening with a "Gatsby to Casablanca" theme, just perfect for our 7 piece swing/Dixie band with a guest vocalist. It was a dress up affair with costumes from 20's flappers to gangster outfits and the crowd of just under 50 were up for a good time. As you can imagine most were older but there were some much younger folks there as well. We were scheduled to play 4 sets from 7-11 and figured we would end early but we started early when the meal ended and went right to 11, not too many dancers still there but it went surprisingly well although the horns didn't have much lip left when we finished with a blistering version of the Stray Cats Rock This Town. We started the night with Let's Dance to set the tone and followed that with Five Foot Two from the 20's where I switch to tenor banjo. To get people dancing I gave a quick Charleston dance lesson to about 25 folk and from there on it was a great evening, one of the best the band has played. Our band has a few stony faced musicians but last night they all got into the mood and actually smiled and interacted with each other and the audience, first time that has really happened in 8 years. The vocalist is the conductor of the local symphony but is a good entertainer and has good voice for the type of music we played , almost all standards and big band hits from the 20's through the 40's and we threw in some latin dances and even a waltz medley As front man I worked hard to keep things moving and the band and crowd responded so it was satisfying night for me, the band and the crowd, that doesn't happen too often and we all went home tired but happy. No pics this time but I used my trusty Shen SB 100 into our Bose PA and my Baldwin Ode tenor banjo acoustically, it's plenty loud without a mic. We were in suits so no interesting shoes to report just black dress shoes.😊

Thanks for that, been listening to them a lot since this -
Thomastik flats (check reviews) https://www.thomann.co.uk/thomastik_jf344.htm but super long scale 36”) they fit my 34” jazz fine though E string does wind around post but no issue .. but I’m really a roundwound steels player & thought I’d try em as they are more metallic sounding than regular flats & have normal kinda tension .. less than an hours play & strung inline 4 (jazz bass) .. £30 posted -
Another cracking weekend of weddings for us just gone. All complimented by a daytime and early set yesterday which meant I was home by 9.30pm Only downside is some idiot decided to try and balance a pint on a speaker on Friday nights Which of course didn’t end well. Seemed to continue to work for the remainder of the night. But we didn’t need both yesterday so I’ll dig it out this week and check it over before next weekend. People.

Yep. Sold it to a guy from Dundee. Ild fitted a gold annodised guard. It was good -

I played a lovely pub in Cornwall. Was offered our pick of the food menu, free drinks and £100 each for the gig. Was a busy night elsewhere and only 5 people turned up. Guess it happens! Second gig this afternoon outdoors. Having a walk and coffee…

We played a beer garden last night. I used a 210. Although, we did have monitors which helped (despite not being great monitors) I couldn't really hear myself that well to be fair, but out front was good and my wife said I always play better when I can't hear myself.

As above. This is a 2019 model. Great condition. A few very small blemishes which I’ve tried to picture but are really hard to catch on camera and can’t really be seen unless intentionally looking. (2 on top horn, one near bridge and one or two very little ones near the control plate) Also a little bit of bucklerash as this has been gigged for a year or so but nothing major. No noticeable marks to my eyes on the headstock. Really nice bass. Hipshot tuners which I’m not sure whether or not are standard but they’re on there since I bought it… Recently (3 weeks ago) professionally set up with EB Medium Slinkies. with a slight fret dress, so it’s a really nice low action with no high spots or choking. Honestly, plays like butter, whatever that plays like! I’ve also had the pickup cavity and pick guard copper shielded at the same time so it no longer has that pesky Mustang Hum. Only selling because try as I might, I just can’t seem to make it work for me. The split coil pickup which the Mustang is famous for sounds awesome but I can’t make it fit in my main gig and find myself craving more ‘honk’ that comes from having a bridge pickup. Comes with a full size bass hard case which I’ve adapted to fit the short scale with some wood & foam. Works a treat. Also comes with Schaller S Locks. And, I think I’ve got an old set of Fender flatwounds cut to fit it which I’ll chuck in. The original strap pins are also in the case and I can knock £20 off if you don’t want the Schallers. I can also include the Fender strap for an additional £10. Looking for £650 £630 collected from TF5 where I have very nice coffee and a biscuit or 2 available, and a nice amp you can try through. Or, i think i have a box and can pack up if you wanted to organise a courier. And… I can potentially meet within about 30-40 mins of TF5 . Will consider trades/part trades for short scales especially a Fender Japan Junior Jazz Bass or Gibson Jr Les Paul Tribute, and potentially 5 strings. But, sale is preferred so happy to see what you’ve got. Thanks in advance. Alex-

one of the main reasons I impulsively bought the tickets was seeing herbie Hancock and headhunters lol. I LOVE the albums they did together. The bass player wasn’t playing a Warwick. I couldn’t tell what it was. It could have been a MTD as the headstock has a circle logo. Once I couldn’t tell I just enjoyed the music lol.

I wanted to put some Reggae bass playing up here but I don't know anything about the genre so I just put 'Reggae' into YouTube and this is the track that came up first. It is incredibly easy to read and to play but it's all feel and tone so done think you can just flounce in there and be all supercilious about it. I tried to find out who played the part and the closest I could get to a name was the suggestion that the track is based on a sample of a Sly and Robbie track from yesteryear. So the is (probably) Robbie Shakespeare's bass part to the tune 'Welcome To Jamrock' by Damian Marley. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/welcome-to-jamrock-damian-marley/

Just a shout out to say how my Behringer XR18 never fails to amaze me. Played a gig last night with 12 inputs, six IEM mixes, plus FOH and running two fx as well, and she never missed a beat. Rock solid connection between the AirPort Express and my old Microsoft Surface Go running the latest X-Air Edit software. You might think “well yeah, that’s what it’s designed to do” but it still amazed me that it does all that at this price point. I still hanker for an x32 rack but as long as the XR18 keeps doing its thing I see no need to make the outlay. Maybe I’ll wait until the price of the wing rack drops a bit 😎

Here's my view. @Pea Turgh '69 EB3, '72 Fender Telecaster bass, Fender Mike Kerr Jaguar, Squier Rascal, 2017 Gibson SG, Epiphone Newport with Artec Pup But it's important to take into account not only the pickup postion in relation to the 12th fret but also the tone cap value used. Notes 1 Neck Pup only on all the above 2 The '69 EB3 is neck Pup only without the inductor engaged ( engaging the inductor opens the bowels of Hell in the Lows) 3 '72 Telecaster is all original stock Pup and pots. 4 The Mike Kerr SS Jaguar Pup at 10ins from 12th fret 5 Squire Rascal SS neck Pup at 8ins from 12th fret 6 2017 SG is NOT a mudbucker, it is not a sidewinder design it is a standard side-by-side humbucker design. 7 The Mike Dirnt has an all original '72 Telecaster bass Pup expensively sourced from a guy in USA added at the neck with 3 pos switch to engage the '69 P Pup 8 The Newport re-issue bass had the Epiphone ceramic Sidewinder Pup swopped out for an Artec Mudbucker These are my views only, of the basses I own, just to add some context to your question to compare Pups. This Squier Telecaster Bass looks the real deal and if it has the same Pup as the Rascal it should sound amazing for the price point. I hope Fender release a Squier version of the Mike Kerr signature in black with a maple neck and tort pickguard, as I will be first in line to buy!!
