This was exactly my experience with Danny, who sourced and bought for me a Yamaha BB5000. Posted a vid etc. Albeit 2017. I also used Ishibashi a few times as around 10 years ago I went through a period of liking medium scale Precisions which were nigh on impossible to find here but popped up reasonably regularly in Japan - both Fender and Squier. Faultless service. Also the exchange rate at the time meant it was always a good deal, even including the shipping and taxes. No so much now, I don't think.

Fast paced, fun video reviewing why the 80's were so special for bass players. The gear, the players, the innovations and SO MUCH more! This video provides a wide overview of the experience in the U.S. with LOTS of U.K. crossover - Mark King, Pino Palladino, Wal, Status, Trace Elliot, The Bass Centre, etc. Enjoy the memories!

No idea - it could be!

Sadowsky SBP-2 preamp pedal, a bargain at £50 in the classifieds. So good it almost makes my £200 bass sound like a Sadowsky.

I used Danny's bass hunter service to source a rare-ish MIJ bass. I found him to be a brilliant chap to deal with. Lots of transparent communication throughout with a couple of options to choose from in the end. He gives his honest opinion on instruments found which is refreshing. When he received my bass, he even made a youtube demo video to show me the bass, his thoughts, and the set up he'd given it The overall cost all in from him to me was less than I was expecting too. Plus he's a professional working bassist in Japan so he really does know his stuff. Recommended 👍

EHX bass soul food - £49 new when I bought it

Strangely good that...!!

My weekly practice with my originals band is most Thursdays. On the weeks we can’t all meet, me and the guitarist meet at home and work up song ideas. I record them as voice memos on my phone. Over the last few weeks we’ve been working thru the better ideas in there and turning out some great sounding songs that we’d more or less forgotten about but which are now coming together really quickly. Excellent!

I found some pics of the tuners on your bass (I think the 5 uses the same tuners as the 4 string version) Hipshot HB6 ultralites would probably be a good choice, but check the dimensions of the existing tuners & the holes they fit in to ensure that they'd fit. The US-made ultralites are reversable so buying five would enable you to reverse one, but there is also the cheaper 'licensed version' which is not reversable. https://allparts.uk.com/products/hipshot-hb6-ultralite-bass-machine-heads?variant=54942187880831
