    Ha ha, not yet no. But it did get very nice Gotoh GB707s and a D-tuner.

    Back for sale after timewaster messed me about - reason for return, i didn't mention the 3/1000th of an inch off the frets when levelled and crowned - a newbie that didnt know why fret jobs are done - was worried why it was done on a new guitar - so i explain why and luthier also offered to talk to him- kinda like taking a car back to the showroom as you'd included top spec instead of factory spec - anyways you people on here will appreciate a lovely neck finish - i think he just didnt know what he wants - good luck getting a cheaper bass with lovely fret ends - ah well we live and learn. For sale lovely birch green Fender player 2 i bought early this year and have recently been using this or P bass to see what fits what i'm doing and the P bass has won - for that middy growl. Have bought a Squire CV Jag as back up - so now this faces being an occasional bass and it's a great player, so should be someones to use. Made in Mexico these are now really good little basses. Great QC Had luthier sort the frets, which he levelled , crowned (they were flat from factory!) and ran glue under each to make sure they pinged and bevelled off the slightly rough edges, basically your getting a Plex job but done by the hands of someone with 40 years experience. So now with the rolled edge finger board, satin finish, it is great to play. Dark rosewood board, with maple neck, the body colour looks even better IRL. Weighs about 8.5lb but balances great. So lightweight and versatile. Strung with new Ernie Ball Super Slinky 40-100 - very nice action. Very useable pickups. Comfortable bridge for palm muting. Priced to sell - collect from Clitheroe or meet up or can post to UK in box for £20 - if i post there's no returns - it's a lovely bass and sure you'll be happy unless you're not all there like last buyer

    There's nothing wrong with a bit of wish-fulfilment if you can afford it. I really don't go for the idea that anyone has to justify their purchases in terms of how and where they are going to use them. If it's your own money to spend, do as you please and enjoy it how you like.

    I shall crack an egg in my bath in his honour tonight..... Seriously though, will be sorely missed. I always loved when "Driving Home For Christmas" came on when I would drive home to the North East as a young lad. Holy ground indeed. RIP Chris.

    Here's the fret job in progress. On an instrument with very worn frets there's a point that comes when doing a fret level where you need to make the call on either carrying on or a re-fret. This Far Eastern beaut will be getting new frets in the summer, I'm looking forward to putting Jescar 55090 stainless narrow/tall frets on, doing the fall from 15 onward and seeing how that goes. (Fret fall is brilliant if you pay up dusty ends a lot). If it works out nicely I'll be refretting the '02 E4 and the '17 E4LX Maple as they're pretty battered.

    IME a change in bridge can have the effect of micro EQ (change overall tonality), micro filter (notch certain frequencies), micro envelope shaper (change attack/sustain), or micro compressor (even things out a bit). On most instruments switching bridges makes little real difference, but on some it can be tangible and helpful. It's always worth some trial and error

    Thank you both, that’s really helpful. I’ll get myself a feeler gauge and if it persists I’ll take your advice and take it for a decent set up. Any recos for one in west London?

    I've Been playing along to Deborah Bonhams version of Superstition, as it is best version I have played and its been years. so found it on Spotify then checking her out on the tube I came across this. How do ya get these three in the same place. https://youtu.be/Q5gc9Yk6OPc?si=8ojqcIw2klDubyv5

    It wasn't in the description when I asked the question, it now is. Thanks for clarifying.

    This is what AI says - although it may have just regurgitated the above discussion 🤣 "Yes, there can be a subtle sonic difference, with individual saddles generally providing a slightly tighter, brighter, or more focused sound, and two strings sharing a single, larger saddle (common on vintage-style bridges) potentially offering a warmer, "ballsier" tone with a more pronounced midrange. The difference is generally minor compared to other factors like string type, pickups, or playing technique, and is largely a matter of personal preference."

    If the question were rephrased to ‘a bit posh’ then I guess my answer would be about £1.5k used £2k new
  14. Andyjr1515
    Fascinating. In that they are so similar in many respects, I wouldn't have thought it would make that much difference. Just a wild thought - in that the original saddles share two strings each, I wonder if there is some sort of impact from the two sources and characteristics of vibration on each pair. But yes - a surprising result whatever the explanation!

    Thinking on this, not just his music but his world view was a lot of things that Springsteen’s was in the 70’s/80’s

    Hi there. No I haven’t, but I’m suspecting that it may be a lead issue on my pedalboard, as there’s some noise and interference going on when I stomp on certain pedals. Now that I’ve got a break I’m going to take my board apart and will check each lead and pedal.

    This is my solution, single PUP wired to jack 🙂
  20. Jerrylejer
    I understand your curiosity ! but I'd rather not do it myself since the ramp seems to be securely attached to the body. I mean I don't think there's any problem removing it but perhaps during a routine visit to a luthier ? Thanks for your comment!

    Where's you ser/par switch? Push/pull pot?

    If that's the extent of your ambition, go for it.

    Bought for some gear I never so technically new it been out of the original box (which I’ll ship in) I’ve managed to missing the shoulder strap if I find it I’ll chuck it in but assume it’s missing price includes UK Mainland delivery

    Interesting to pick up on this. Our singer mentioned on Sat night she only used one ear piece and left the other one out "otherwise she felt disconnected from the band and audience" - which is a classic IEM conundrum. It doesn't affect me at all in the same way - I enjoy the clarity and comfort of having a tailored IEM mix and no one's complaining about missing out on the experience of a deafening guitar amp - ok maybe the occasional dep guitarist - now we're all going through FoH apart from the acoustic drums. I don't really fancy the additional set-up faff and need to worry about an additional source of feedback from an ambient / overhead mic, just for the sake of one band member, but was wondering if there's decent ambient IEMs on a par with the KZ ZARs we're using, that don't cost the earth, and she can treat herself to a pair?

    Well, so that I don't fall foul of gear abstinence rules next year, I've ordered the on-off-on switch required to make it north (single)/series (both)/south (single), instead of north/parallel/south as it is wired stock. And in case you're wondering, this is what I'll be doing with it:

    Perfect thanks!!!! Still a bit surprised that you cannot use the output/volume control from the TE1200 to set the onstage volume, as that is how I understood power amps work
