That '68 is speaking to me.......ooof. Mike Long is really good to deal with, I bought my '73 P from him. He is open to negotiation too, I got a chunk off the advertised price on mine.

I have had a mixer on top of my rig and mixed a pa feed, an ambient mic and my bass feed, and fed that back to my in-ears, so it can be done, but if all the mix controls are at the back of stage, they are not easy to adjust. Also, I found that an ambient mic at the back of the stage will not pick up a mid-song shouted comment from a band mate. The closest I have come to my ideal is to wear the ambient mic and mix it and the bass in a belt pack, but that assumes you can pick up the band mix from a monitor speaker. I hope this helps you avoid some of the unworkable solutions. David -
Fender Mustang Bass 1970 For sale is my great vintage ’70 Mustang Bass in a sought after competition red finish with matching headstock. The bass is all original as far as I can tell, and is fitted with an uncommon pinkish pearl pickguard (as sometimes found on instruments from this era). The serial number says it’s from 1970, which is consistent with the matching headstock. The pots date back to week 51 of 1970. I don’t have a picture of the pickup bottoms; the pickguard is partly stuck to the body due to some chemichal reaction with the pickguard material (common issue with CAR finish), and I don’t want to force things when taking it off. The solder joints are untouched. The fretboard has some nice figuring on and appears to be brazilian rosewood. This bass has been used, and it has small damages and usermarks all around. Nothing serious though, it’s in a very good vintage condition considering the age. All hardware and electronics are functional. Two of the tuners are a bit stiff and might want some lubrication. The neck is straight, adjustable, and the frets are in good condition. I’ve added an angled shim to get the action lower while retaining a good breaking angle. It’s a very comfortable playing bass with a good action. Weight is 3,6kg on my kitchen scales. The bass is fitted with LaBella flats. The best choice for these basses imo, they bring a lot of character. Included is the original "salt ’n pepper" Victoria hardcase. Without any doubt this is the best Mustang Bass I've ever played. Though as I don't play this beauty as my first choice, it feels like a better decision to sell instead of keeping it (I've listed it before and withdrawn)... Asking €4.500 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk. Partial trades (bass/guitar) are possibly negotiable, but straight sale is preferred. Upfront payment methods are the only ones accepted; cash on collection, banktransfer or PayPal as a gift.-

@Jean-Luc Pickguard Voice is great and sounds as big as the band. Three chord keys hook - fantastic - comes over really well.

Clear references but uniquely yours. This should balance much better than a standard EB3 (I'd hope). Quite an understated look but some lovely timbers. Very impressive - something genuinely different! 'Really sorry to hear about the arthritis - horrible and I hope you're able to find a solution -
Just checked them out on YouTube, think you’re right there’s an extra energy in the live stuff. Singer has a great voice, very distinctive.

Thanks for your input but that answer is fully worked out and while my amp is repairable, i suspect repairing this person's capacity to understand plain english might be a tad more difficult. That or, much more likely.. i must improve on my skills writing in english what i thought was a very simple, black on white text All along this thread i've answered in a neutral manner to everyone who chipped in ( actually, in every single thread i took part over the years here & many other forums i subscribe to.. ) then this gentleman questions my integrity asking "..even if the information is not yours to share ?..." which i had already addressed. Nice... apparently totally respectful and worthy of entertaining at length This is one of the reasons i try to steer clear from forums for a number of years now because there's just too much useless/pointless yapping back and forth over non issue issues - and thankfully i'm not talking about threads/answers of mine, this is my 2nd or 3rd time it happens to me in 20 or so years - it's all over, over anything and everything - SO bloody boring after a while. I am DEEPLY sorry i value my time living on this planet to the point of having no patience after a short while for asked/answered stuff but indeed, i could die tomorrow stepping out of the shower and nothing guarantees me that not "getting it", he wouldn't keep at it 20 more times, regardless what i answered as demonstrated. That offends people these days ? Well.. if that's the case, too bad. And unfollowed.

If you have the time/patience you could try building your own bass? I had nerve issues in my shoulder from using heavy basses and thin straps. I now have a few custom builds on rotation based around the lightest bodies I could find on eBay, combined with wide bass straps, makes a huge difference! (It does however seem to amplify the pain when I occasionally break out my thunderbird)

That looks incredibly fancy! Nice board! I'm looking for that orientation but just wider - which is probably not the most desirable

My board has this one from NinjaFox.

Not going myself but id recommend people check out my cousin's band GIRLBAND! 3 piece rock band from Nottingham. Their recorded stuff really doesn't do them justice because they are incredible live!

And there y'go - there's no solution which suits everyone!

I suspect you have enough Precisions to be going on with Steve -

Some very nice looking stuff on there! Not quite what I'm after though!

Absolutely, Nate Mendel's Lakland P gets used for every Fu Fighters gig I play ( Rockprest on Sunday ) and the '79 Bicentennial T Bird and the 74 Rippers do the Nirvana gigs ( A local music boozer in Newcastle on Friday ) . No point having them if you don't use them for their purpose.

Bought a music stand to put the set list on...can't see it when it's on the floor....can't get back up when I bend down to look at it!
