    Mine are in the loft, I so rarely travel with a bass these days it really doesn't inconvenience me to go get one or two for a trip. Apart from the Thumb's flight case which is too big to go through the hatch, so it lives behind the sofa in the studio, I hear it chuckling occasionally.

    Beyond simply tightening the bolt holding the endpin in position, what options are there for addressing endpin rattle? I have discovered a rattle when I'm playing loudly which goes away when the endpin is bottomed out (bass closest to the floor), or I put pressure on the endpin by pushing the lower part of the bass with my leg. The bolt is a tight as I can make it. What else is worth a try?

    That's why I wrote that both approaches are fine. The discussion about expensive vs. cheap pedals is fundamentally pointless.

    I learn new songs, revise old ones before a gig, or work out bass lines for originals, is that practicing? don't have a set time, depends whether I've got a gig or new material to work on, otherwise I don't pick the bass up

    I 'need' a P bass because it works for me. Tone wise ive never been in a situation where someone else has asked me to use anything, or ibeen in a situation where one bass doesnt work over another tone wise. What I find with a P is it's more plug and play. For me even a Jazz bass give's me more tone options to think about, and get distracted with. I do like Jazz basses, but I just find a P works in every situation, no fuss messing about with onboard EQ, and sits well in any mix. Tone wide open and thats it as far as that end of the signal chain goes. I was put off for a while with the P bass chunky necks, but having found P basses with slimmer im happy to stick with it.

    I sold it on, and the buyer had it repaired. He reported back that original parts were prohibitively expensive but his local tech guy was able to fit a generic pre-amp board with decent results.

    Oh, that is rotten luck. The little PJB BG110 I have seems to be incredibly over-engineered and built like a tank, and I imagine it would be much less prone to failure than many other bigger brands. Were you able to get yours fixed?

    Utter bargain.

    I had one of the very first available over here, sold it to a friend who still owns it, something like 20 years later and still running flawlessly, except for the dead battery, of course. I always fancied a red one. If only I was still playing bass or double bass ... GLWYS.

    I have a couple of old Wem Westminster amps and love them for bass. I saw Richard Hawley on the Coles Corner tour last night and he was using both a Dominator and an earlier Watkins Westminster (with onboard tremolo) on stage. Sounded great. These amps are very capable and last for ever!

    Lovely! How are you getting on with the early Christmas present from Alan?

    Thanks Jack 👍

    “If this was a four string/ how much does it weigh?…” annoying bump.

    I should also probably have mentioned that it comes with the GB Shuttle 4-button footswitch. And the soft cover.
  26. W1_Pro
    Really nice sound that. I have absolutely no use for this...yet I want it anyway. GAS is a fickle mistress...

    The whole 'kitchen scales' thing is just so declasse these days, don't you think? Here we have the intersection of luggage scales with a meat-hook ... so much more satisfying. And no, your eyes do not deceive you. The scales register exactly 9.5lbs = pretty much the weight of every decent (single-necked) P-bass in existence.
  28. Happy Jack
    I should probably have mentioned that it comes with the original Owner's Manual.
  29. Happy Jack
    Very little used since Covid, time to move it on. Comes with all the little bits of cabling etc. Condition is as near pristine as you're likely to find. Full specs are here: https://philjonesbass.net/cms/product-ha-1/

    My eye (yes, I have two. Don't worry...) was caught by the cool looking lever at the top of the bridge - does this amazingly manly bass have a lever that deploys the string mutes? Bet MusicMan wish they'd thought of that before adding those fiddly tiny metal round screws under the bridges of Classic Stingrays. Seriously impressed by the intonation calibration markings on the bridge as well. If Bang & Olufsen made basses, they would make basses like this.

    Many thanks to you all for this info....exactly what I was after!! The dust cover is 3" diameter....so can I assume that the coil is also 3"? ....that would make it the 200w variant. The weight of this is around 9.5 LBS, so I'm thinking that the 16.5 LBS shown on the .pdf spec is a packaged shipping weight??
