Thanks Tony. Sum, we should talk.

Hats off to you sir. A very brave thing to do. Hope it works perfectly for you 😀

@Owen is selling his Nord Lead Piano 2 HA 88: Could be interesting for you... Here is its official web page: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/legacy-products/nord-piano-2/

Master of Puppets - Metallica

Yes, but check which is what of the terminals.

I see what's happened here. Words not thought through well, and doubt creeps in. The headless bass is however widely considered a perfectly adequate instrument for any phallic move. I have heard horror stories about U-Bass where bass guitarists have purchased these and quickly lost certainty that size doesn't matter. Please be careful.

Wise words!

Wunjo's have always been great to deal with in my experience. Shout out to Tom H. and Laurence in the bass section. I have a friend who's also looking for a Squier P bass currently and has been to Wunjos recently. Would be hilarious if it's the same person.

I may have just placed an order for one 😀

I enjoyed your input very much.

Around 15 years ago, I did a stupid thing. I sold my 1978 Gibson G-3. In the intervening years, the prices of second hand Gibson G-3s have gone through the roof, beyond where I was willing to go. So, thank you, Epiphone, for issuing this and helping me right a wrong in a more financially palatable way! You can imagine the smile on my face. It is, quite simply, amazing. It is a tastefully modernised G-3 - it frankly speaking feels better put together than my old Gibson G-3. The same oddly twangy but thick at the same time tone is still there, I reckon these pickups are on the level as far as recreations go. I do low level wish they had done clear covers like the 1975-78 G-3s, but these sound as good as I remember the originals sounding. The pickguard? Don't care, mate - the silverburst disguises it as far as I'm concerned. Because Andertons did individual photographs for most of their stock of these, I deliberately picked one where the burst lined up with the bottom edge of the pickguard, giving it context instead of just floating in mid air. I can't wait to take this to band rehearsals this week. Tonight I have mostly been playing songs I played 15 years ago with my first originals band - well, the ones I remember anyway!

In fairness it should be a bit of a shout out for Wunjo as well.... especially as they have a decent selection. Plus they were helpful and very relaxed about trying out basses. They set up an amp and just said we could help ourselves which was great.

Hey all, Bought a DI and all good, great comms, well packaged and perfectly described. Would deal with again no reservations at all. Peace.

Puppet On A String - Sandie Shaw

And another from Watanabe's 'The Spice Of Life' record; Jeff Berlin's bass part for 'Melancho', the opening track. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/melancho-kazumi-watanabe/

Rag Doll - The Four Seasons

I understand. I ask because they (Wunjo) usually are quite flexible on their ticket prices. Of course that means very little if the Dawson example just felt better.

Two great posts, thanks guys 🙏

Listening to them now, had never realised just how tight a rhythm section they were 👍

Maybe difficult to tell from the photo but this is the passive Warwick jack, it looks to have 3 connections. On that basis, do you think it would work for and active EMG pickup?

They have just restocked at my branch of Lidl.
