If it has to be labelled as one, then I'd say it should be labelled as the one where the parts of the bass are in the majority. So, a 72 for yours. Or... just label it fairly! This Bass Direct bass should be titled as 'Fender bista bass with unknown body, 62 neck with new fretboard and some original 62 parts'.

Paranoid - Black Sabbath

I have a 1972 bass with 68 electrics. Is it a 68 with a replacement body/neck or a 72 with 68 electrics?

I went to the unveiling of his staue in Dublin, 20 years ago. We then saw a Gary Moore styled Lizzy tribute that evening. Brush Shields made an appearance, Wheatus IIRC, many former Lizzy band mates came on too Many pints of Guiness were had that weekend

I've always been a Precision guy. Had (and have) other basses but a Precision is always my bass of choice. I have two non-Precisions. One I inherited and the other is just for the fun of playing Pino and Tony Levin lines.

I've ordered some gel type stuff to try but thanks for that. I've never thought of a diffuser but it's a great idea

Excellent pedal, especially the fuzz side IMO!

Old school tube amps. They often neglected to provide an 8 ohm tap for the power transformer in favour of a 2 ohm one. Legacy of wanting to power the gig off the stage with twin 810 cabs.

21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson

Does anyone know if the Vanderkley 112EXT & 112MNT cabinet construction is identical, just fitted with different drive units for 300W & 600W respectively? Are the crossovers and tweeters the same? I believe the 12" drivers are made Faital but which models?

Welcome to the forum @hedgepigbass 😊 Where in Somerset are you? There’s a few of us yokels on here!

That’s a good point My aim of using a pick was to sound fuller ( as achieved with fingers ) but with the variation in tone and dynamics that a pick can only give in my opinion. The finger played tone has a warmer fuller depth to the sound as example Living on a Prayer never sounded right played with a pick but more right with fingers but then other songs such as Don’t Believe a word, Basket Case / American Idiot sounded better with a pick To save changing methods during a gig ( also changing EQ, volume etc ) making one method suitable for all is tough. I found I could do every song with fingers and some sounded wrong and when I played all songs with a pick the tone was on some songs lacking in fullness

Still Crazy After All These Years - Paul Simon

genuine question ( from someone relatively new to amps cabs etc ) why do the last three amps mentioned " need " 2/4 ohms ? that aside,,what is the impedence of the speakers in the cab ? if they're 4ohms why not just rewire them in parallel ?

Yesterday, When I Was Mad - Pet Shop Boys

With regard to modeling software it only predicts response within the region of pure pistonic response, which is roughly to two octaves above the driver Fs. To see what happens above that use the SPL chart on the driver data sheet, which is not influenced by the cabinet. I can't comment on the Eminence software, as I've never used it. For direct radiating speakers I use WinISD 0.7.

Tomorrow Never Knows - Beatles

Ready to receive... Went with gloss black, Rust-Oleum clear lacquer and #0000 step wool.

Now, it's this. Some might not consider it much of a change, but believe me, it's a considerable one.

Once, this one used to be my favorite bass.
