Blimey. Now I want to see if it has been stamped at all.
-
It's been a fairly popular unit (after mods) with Nashville session guitarists because you can basically grab a know to tweak on the fly if a producer requests it. No scrolling through menus.

They didn't - as I think I mentioned, slab boards were phased out in '61/62, and didn't show up again until 1984. That neck is in no way authentic. I'd guess Warmoth/Allparts with Fender Pure Vintage tuners.
-
I thought the slab boards were only an early 60s thing, up to about 62 ?

Ive used stereo since day one (more or less). When we got our XR18 I was setting up the singer's IEM, she uses the XVive one, and was shocked at how flat and lifeless the mix sounded in mono. She still uses it but when one of my guitarists wanted to go IEM I got him to get the Legato one, as I had already have that as a back up system to my main one.

Yes, i remember when midi and sequencers came in and it was the 'death of real music'. Although they do have a lot to answer for!

I've never been a believer in this 'intellectual property' and 'royalties' thing. When someone makes a chair, no monies are due from anyone sitting on it once it's been sold. A musician writes a song, gets paid for recording it and the disk gets sold. He/she gets paid; end of. Those growing tomatoes sell tomatoes; those selling music sell their music. I don't hold with sitting by the pool with a long drink whilst the millions roll in from sales, often decades since the original 'creation'. It's virtual, and makes very little sense, except to specialised lawyers. Time to end it all and get back to getting paid for one's honest work, based on actually doing that work, not on having, once upon a time, having done it. Just my tuppence-worth; I know it's unpopular here, but...

It's a good spot, I really don't think they did? Also bear in mind the bullet truss rod came in later 74 and stayed until the start of the 80s, so it rules that period out. Definitely casts further doubt on the authenticity...
-
Thanks for the responses everyone. Really appreciate it. I'm guilty of overthinking audio routing etc so appreciate the reassurance!

Indeed. I can't remember anyone complaining in this vein about Neural Amp Models, or Quad Cortex Captures, amp plugins etc, yet all AI based. I don't even know where the line is these days, in what is truly defined as AI.

It is intelligent in the same way humans are intelligent, that is it has the means ('senses') to interact with information and the inherent capacity to restructure what it has sensed ('learn') on the basis of new information. Re sentient, see above, it's probably going to become a semantic as opposed to technical debate as time goes on

100W Stoneham valve amp - small footprint, lighter weight
Matt P replied to Merton's topic in Amps and Cabs
@Ruarl The first prototype is still under construction so you're not too late, I believe that the prototype will be out in the wild for testing at some point so hopefully there will be opportunity for people to try it out and give some feedback before that production amps are built, I don't think these will be limited either as i'd imagine that Martin will be building them to order as i think he does for other amps, but as Stoneham is a small one-man (i believe) operation there might be a waiting list.

Interesting how "AI" is being blamed, rather than computers. Those of a certain age may remember when computers became a thing in the workplace and the jobs that were lost, and disappeared, as a result. And 2 things that should always be remembered in an discussion about AI: AI is a misnomer, there is no 'intelligence', and it is definitely not sentient. There is not one AI, it's an umbrella term for lots of different computer applications that do different things in different ways.

Saw that one myself and was sorely tempted. Congrats on a fine looking bass 👍

I joined a new 'second' band last month, and at a practice with them they have an XR18 and each have a P16-M, and it is genuinely amazing - I have been playing with a mono IEM for many years now, but after that one practice, I don't want to do that any more! Luckily for me, I don't have to as the singer and guitarist don't have IEMs, they don't like them, so it is me and the drummer, so no problem getting stereo apart from the wireless. I use an XVIve iem, which I am happy with, but la while back I bought a really cheap lekato MS-1 that was just over £30. I assumed it would be poor, and because I got something else at the same time, I never got round to trying it. I tried it last night, and it really worked well. So I have a gig on Sunday and I am going to use it there.

I have two '73 Jazzes here and neither of them have a board like that. Mine are clearly thick veneers and follow the radius of the board which results in a slight curve in the rosewood at the headstock end. I'd like to know when Fender started putting slab boards on Jazz basses in the 70's......
