Hello. Long time lover of the 1960's.

He’s great just done a ‘72 P for me

I'd have a look on AliExpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32664749601.html

Hi @Heydayday - welcome to BC! It's important to remember the huge majority of headstock names on these instruments have nothing at all to do with the factories that made them - your bass looks like it's probably from a different manufacturer - and possibly a different country - from the Johnny Guitar in the link. Headstock names would be applied by the manufacturer if a customer requested one and provided a logo design - it looks like Johnny Guitar (& later, Johnny Pro II) were probably names owned by a European retailer or distributor (possibly German or Dutch), who would have ordered & imported batches of these instruments. If a customer didn't request a brand then headstocks would be blank and the wholesale price lower, which is why there are so many 'no name' guitars & basses from the 70s & 80s era around. Sometimes, like both unbranded basses in the first post, it's possible to work out the manufacturers from build quirks & details, but sometimes they can be annoyingly hard to ID! The DiMarzio Model J on yours is a bonus - the PAF-stickered, silver pole early examples are increasingly rare, and that bassbucker's interesting. Both Schaller & DiMarzio made similar pickups, but those both had hex pole pieces rather than the slotted ones on yours. Not sure what that is.

@TimAl will do one. Did a jazz one for me.

Good to know. I'm in discussion with Gary @ Sylva Guitars 👍

The Headway EDB2 also allows you to blend a mic and pickup and provides 48V phantom power. So does the EDB1 but it's now discontinued though they pop up second-hand occasionally. Neither of these units is really designed for switching between two instruments, unlike the EBS.

Yeah, I should have spotted that, shouldn't I?

A pound to a penny, it's autocorrect for "tube amp".

You're absolutely right, and this is far from the only trolling I've received - it's certainly not the nastiest, by any stretch! I can't deny this sort of thing still rattles me a bit, but generally I try to ignore it. This one just stood out because the more I thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed: I don't know if somebody else had really p!55ed on his chips that day, but it must have taken him longer to type all that than he would have spent watching the video. (Well, that, and I still can't work out WTF he means by a "time amp"...)

My 1998 ABM 15-10 HX is still going strong and a superb cabinet I also liked the SWR 18 Big Bertha and the old Peavey 18 + 10+10 An old teacher of mine had a lovely Mesa cab , big unit but I can’t remember if it was 18 or 15” speakers as ever Horses for Courses

Lovely stuff!

My brother is looking a clear P bass scratch plate. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who can do one? NW England.

Agree with everything above, had work done by all of these and its perfection
