    Nut widths on a 4 string that are over 40mm are just unfinished 5 strings. 5 strings should be limited to 44.5mm and not a micron wider! Can't argue with the tablets though. I'd have an exception for a sitting down classical / jazz gig but never ever for any singer in any genre. Totally kills the mood.

    Hi all Moving this on as I’m realising I’m just not really a PJ guy. Awesome, really well made bass, that I’ve had since new and made quite a lot of modifications too: - New tort pickguard, original included - Noll preamp imported from the states, vol/blend, bass/treble, dual passive tone control - Saddles swapped to quality slotted ones for vintage look and more control over string spacing - Battery box installed - Delano Hum Cancelling bridge pickup The upgrades add up to about the same price as the bass I think! There Is some play wear on the body, some buckle rash and a mark on the front but nothing major. weight approx 4.1kg Have a box so can post or pickup from Chessington or Central London.

    PJs and painted necks and skinny nut widths. And then I picked up a Jack bass with all three of those horrors and I am loving it. But I still feel the same about PJ, painted necks and skinny nuts. I think that must be the dictionary definition of irrational prejudice. I would put my dislike of OTT slap, showing off in general, the fact that Scott Devine has buried what was a really good teacher deep underneath his desperate desire to be 'down with the kids' and many of the other things already mentioned in the 'rational response to unpleasant stimuli' camp. Can't say I hate them, they're just facts I accept and move on from. People who dislike baked beans, however.....

    The original pork loin was a purple pedal and because they’re discontinued you might well find a larger enclosure P&P for the same price which is good as it’s a more versatile unit.

    1. Catchy little melodies; this is just a fop to those who think that music is just a ditty to whistle while doing their milk round. Real music isn't for enjoyment or fun, it's meant to be difficult and exclude those who lack understanding. I don't include bone-crunching riffs, or earworms such as Joe Dolce's "Shaddapa ya face", obvs. 2. Vocalists - see above 3. Boring arrangements - straightforward 1234 should be illegal. Syncopate or be exterminated! 4. Musicians who do the bare minimum - see 3. 5. Sound engineers who think that the only thing that the audience wants to hear is a kidney-jarringly-loud kick drum and a general mush in the rest of the bass. Learn your craft yer eejits!

    Nice double humbucker version of the Sub4 with some little tweaks (or major as the pre amp is rather nice). Comes with a rosewood neck, presented in an unmarked metallic blue. So mods.. As with my other Sub2 listing, i dont like the cheap looking bridge on the Sub4 series, so this has been upgraded to the pre 2017 EB stingray version. 2 band JOHN EAST pre amp. Nuff said. its the dog danglies and unobtainium at the moment. Hipshot detuner, most excellent if you are into rage against the machine detuning mid gig. I know i have done it and it sounds great. Really stable and repeatable to use. Artec pickups. I tried the stocks and a few otherS i have laying around and the artecs are a really good match for the Je pre. Not too hot and well voiced. Carbon fibre style car wrapped scratchplate (over the original plain white) Its fully set up, in as new condition, not a boat anchor but not silly Glarry light either, around 9 lbs, perfect weight for longs gigs. I have gigged this bass a number of times and its a great gig ready instrument. New these are £499 so priced keenly bearing in mind there are £200+ mods on board. Can ship at buyers expense (insured), meetup anywhere nearish to the M25. or pickup/try out, Rochester, Kent

    The weirdly stretched body shape of Spectors and Warwicks. Warwicks aren’t helped by that headstock, either. The dumpy, drawn by a child, shape of Wals.

    Rich Tone are, I believe, a well-established shop and am sure that they will sort this out. As Paul suggests, have a clear idea of what you wish to happen, phone them and stay on the call until you are satisfied with the response, don't be fobbed-off by the first person who happens to answer telling you they will phone back. Be firm, clear and calm. Make a note of who you speak to and what is said. Ask this person to confirm this in an email to you and when they will do this. I am sure this will be relatively-easily resolved. Please let us know how you get on. Good luck.

    I’m also looking at the JPTR Jive (https://jptrfx.com/products/jptr-fx-deluxe-jive-reel-saturator-overdrive) currently on sale for £104. Any thoughts? and have you ordered from them? Wonder if I have to pay any extra import duty/tax, etc… Thanks

    My other half (brass bands) informs me that bandsmen consider anyone whose brass instrument (inc. saxophones) isn't silver or brass lacquer to be a coxcomb. The pro jazz players I know use them and they play very well, though I realise that this issue isn't going away. Eventually, there will be complaints about those performers who have iReal project chord charts into their peripheral vision via smart glasses or ocular implants. An irrational prejudice of mine is against acoustic guitarists who confuse their preference for performances where the audience sit in silence listening to Dylan covers for a universal truth that the acoustic guitar has a pure, clean and true sound, unlike nasty electric guitars which sound bad and are always too loud (so if your genre uses them you should switch genre). Though I generally avoid them they end up living rent free in my head.

    What do you mean by Purple??? Looks black and gold from photos…

    Sitting here reading this whilst playing my Thumb 5 string. I wouldn't be without it or my Streamer and I don't play metal 😄 Who invented the adjust-a-nut of curiosity as I don't know? I assumed Warwick did.

    ^^^ This is my tablet's contents this morning. I share the prejudice but learning tunes takes me so long! The worst offender is our church band with 135 tunes. Our community big band has 68 tunes, and our band's regular Christmas show has 54 carols.

    I don't think I've ever ad a problem with them either. Certainly in recent memory everything big I've got from the US has come via them. Little stuff seems to be passed over to Evri (urgh)
