Oh right, "stuff you agree with" yeah? For context, I'm drunk, but take from it what you will.

I really love your tiger feet.

Ok, so I've been lucky enough to secure a super rare American Vintage '62 Precision, super happy about it but I'm a bit confused by the ranges and naming... Would a '62 Precision from the 1998- 2012 run be referred to as an AVRI or is that name only used for the run from 1982-1998?

Exactly my thoughts, 😍

I'm also thinking this is a bit too expensive for a standard colour CBS Precision. Obviously, dealers are always wanting to drive prices upwards.

Joyo Orange Juice, or a newer version of the sadly discontinued original Tech 21 Oxford with switchable cab sim filter. Can get seriously grindy.

Well, urm, urm, ...

I know folk say these need the master volume cranked more but I tried that and still felt it was gutless

I've recently spent a load of money on things that were just no fun at all. A new combi-boiler yesterday, car insurance the same day, and today I was off to the dentist to have a molar removed after it was damaged whilst I was getting a wisdom tooth taken out last year. I decided to spend some money on myself other than just paying these 'cost of living' charges. Well, I have been saying for a long time that I wanted a fretted jazz bass and the Flea signature model always intrigued me. I'm not a RHCP fan but the spec always sounded like the sort of thing I would enjoy and have a lot of use for. Bass Bros to the rescue. Let's hope it's as good as it looks! I bought a fretless CIJ jazz from them in October 2024 which I play all the time, so it'll be nice to have a fretted model to sit next to it.

I have tried several different sets of flats on my mustangs, but I am now happy with D'Addario Chromes which I have on all of them, specifically the ECB81M 32" set. They aren't as dark sounding as the LaBellas. I'd love to try Ernie Ball Cobalt flats on a mustang but EB don't make a 32" set.

I'm won't jump ship yet Stub. I do think it would be nice to investigate dep opportunities. Thanks Stub Daryl

Apparently Horace Panters Fender Precision, which he used on Ghost Town, is to be auctioned, expectations are of £20,000. Bit (as in far too) rich for me I have to say, but although I was never a major Specials fan I thought his playing was fantastic.

Thanks Pete, The lack of a good drummer concerns me, but should I be worried about something out of my control at my age ? Maybe I'll stick with it. Maybe I'm overreacting to the bad gig last night. Daryl

That’s a shame, you’d expect a 700w amp to have something in the tank. I used one of the smaller Venture amps, I really liked the tone but also really had to push it, was only for stage volume too.
