    As @SurroundedByManatees mentioned, the bridge was not factory fitted, but is an add-on, I remember owning a set of original Fender brass knobs still in their packaging that I gave to a friend needing them and they were so heavy!?! You now have to search for the original bridge which is the one fitted (not the packed one) on this fully original 1982 (aka Dan Smith era) Fender Precision Bass Special and you can also try to find the original ashtrays while you're at it.. If you look at the image above, you'll understand that the two outer holes on your bridge were meant to align with the bridge cover holes. 😉 Just in case you want to read the Fender ad provided, again, by @SurroundedByManatees, here it is: My main question is: How much does the whole bass weigh as, with all that brass, it must quite heavy? I guess around 5 kilos or even more...

    I learned about fake books from my double bass teacher. He had me buy a Jazz fake book and each lesson we played a game where I would flip the pages of the book and stop at a random tune/song and I would have to improvise a bass line to it.

    @WHUFC BASS Thanks for taking the time to write down these memories. You never know when words or thoughts may take you back to someone you loved so much. The gig was at the Tower Hotel. There are some frankly excellent recordings of this gig online. I recall him saying the piano was recorded via a shoddy plastic microphone found in the office drawer… https://soundcloud.com/matthewcanty1988/sets/tower-hotel-1991/s-sDtnDbnGwrA As you say, it was some tone he had!

    Christmas gig with BLOCKBUSTARZ Glam at Longstone Hearts club in Edinburgh. Its a small intimate club and only holds up to 80 with only a few unsold tickets for the night. We know they're struggling to get money in for the club and we've deliberately kept our price same since we first played there about 3 yrs ago to try and help keep them going. Was a bit of an odd one as we had dancers from the first song but our Xmas songs had none ? Never seen that before even tho we played well. Only Xmas song they were up for was the Wizard one "I Wish It Could Be Xmas" and even then it was only 7 or 8 people. Last song (encore) dance floor was crammed full and they were all shouting for more but we had a time limit from the organiser. Plenty of pics / vids being taken tho so that's always good. As a band we thoroughly enjoyed the gig and were having a great laugh on stage. No major mistakes with just a few wee mishaps that only we noticed. 4 Xmas songs in the set for the next few gigs. Usual gear Sandberg MarloweDK because its Xmasy looking in red and white - Shure GXLD wireless - Keeley Bassist comp - Handbox WB-100 - Barefaced 212 cab. Quite enjoying the Marlowe at the last couple of gigs. It has a nice growl thru the WB-100. Easy drive home with hardly another car on the country roads on way home which was a nice relaxing drive and home by 2am for my ritual coffee and tea biccie before beddy by bo time. Dave

    I eventually bought a Gator, which works fine for me as the bass always travels in the back seat. Just like me to forget to update the post!!! Cheers Charla

    Agreed. The other thing that irks is when bassists play every measure/verse differently. Just find the right part and play it every time through (with just the occasional spicy note to enliven things). Leave "really expressing my creativity" to the solo instruments. And on no account play a bass solo...

  29. MNY started following Fodera Emperor Standard Classic Jazz Bass, looking for a trade plus cash my way.

    Hello All, I recently picked up my lovely Fodera in a 3 basses for 1 trade from Bass Bros. It’s a truly stunning example of a passive jazz bass and is indistinguishable from new, I cannot find a mark or ding anywhere on the instrument. Please see a link to the exact model below, https://fodera.com/pages/emperor-j-4-standard-classic-legacy?_pos=1&_psq=emperor+standard+classic+legacy&_ss=e&_v=1.0 I would prefer a trade for something along the lines of a 4 string active jazz or similar. Ideally I would like a trade for something where I can receive cash my way. Please note that for some strange reason my bass is still listed on Reverb as for sale by The Gallery for just over £5000. I believe it must have been there as a consignment sale and subsequently moved to Bass Bros from whence it came to me. I don’t have lots of photos yet as this is very much an opportunity to see what might be out there. If there is sufficient interest I will be happy to post more photos. Please rest assured this is an incredible instrument, it sounds and plays wonderfully well as you would expect, weighs 4kg so it’s not at all heavy, and has a Fodera D tuner fitted. Hit me up if you have anything to discuss. This is a rare beast, in fact I can’t see many for sale at all unless you want to shop from Japan and pay a small fortune in duty, vat, shipping etc and a purchase price of over £6000. Needless to say I won’t be upset if I have to keep her, but a recent job change means a bit of cash will come in handy. Please note that two of these photos are taken from the Reverb listing. Rest assured nothing dodgy, you can see the bass in its case on the floor of my home office/music room. Please feel free to check my feedback as well. Thanks for looking.

  34. MungoBass started following Eich BC112Pro 500 watt Bass Amp Combo with Eich padded cover.

    I’m selling my Eich BC112 Pro combo which is in excellent condition and comes complete with the genuine Eich padded cover and original shipping box. Here is the description from Eich; The BC112Pro combo is driven by power, punch and drive. With its 500 Watts you will experience every detail of your playing in a totally new and distinct way – completely unaltered but with lots of punch, just the way you like it. The well-balanced four-band tone control suits all musical styles with a perfect sound. The “TASTE” control allows you to emphasise the tonal characteristics of your instrument – everything between a wiry mid-boost, a bold slap and an ultra-fat Reggae or Motown sound. Jacks for FX loop, Tuner Out, Line Out, Line In and a transformer balanced pre/post switchable DI Out with ground lift lets you connect the BC112Pro to the outside world. The BC112Pro is ideal for travelling around the world due to their voltage switch which allows them to be operateded at 230 or 115 volts 50 – 60 Hz. The BC112Pro combo is fitted with our newly designed EICH TE12D-8 12” bass speaker chassis that works in meticulously calibrated enclosures to deliver an impressive bass. For optimum damping of unwanted resonances our housings are made with support bracings and dampened with acoustic foam. The combo features the new 4” CT1 tweeter with a ceramic-magnet system. In a coupled volume the tweeter convinced on one hand with his deep starting frequency, on the other hand, with its very flat frequency response and offers far beyond 10 kHz at astounding sound pressure for silky highs. All combos have an additional Speakon® combo connector for operating an additional cabinet. The internal speaker can be selectively switched off. At the "Rehearsal Section" a headset can be connected at “Phone out” and trough the “AUX-In” a music signal can be fed. The BC112Pro can be tilted in to a monitor position by inserting a stainless steel rod, which is located at the bottom of the combo. 300 watts as a standalone unit, 500 watts when an additional 8Ohm cabinet is connected. At just 14kg it is an easy lift, even for an oldie like me. Collection in person is of course welcomed but as I have the original Eich shipping box, postage within the UK can be arranged at buyer’s cost and risk. I could potentially meet part way for a bit fuel money.
