I suppose one question is what constitutes a charity? I've never been asked to do a gig for a charity as such, but looking back I've been asked to do a couple of gigs where the money went to a supposedly worthy cause. A benefit concert for the Miners Strike of 1984/5 springs to mind, and I played an AIDS benefit gig in the early 1990's. In both cases it didn't cost us to play. Regarding the first instance though, I still remember the arguments between members of the band over it.

Preferably a celluloid one for increased flammability 🙂 That said, it'd be a funny "can I borrow your bass?" bass.

I bought this cabinet along with another cab and an AH300 in November, not expecting to be moving house quite so soon - but it seems we might be moving as soon as March. I'd like to keep it, but if I can sell it that would be one less thing to have to ship overseas. It all works as you'd expect and in good condition cosmetically. It comes with a vinyl cover and is about 37kg. I added the badge recently to match my other cabinet, but it's only fixed with a sticky pad, so if you don't like bling I can remove it and knock a bit off the price. -
This bass should come with a health warning. It is 100% bad ass! it’s an American made limited edition Tony Franklin P Bass with quarter pounder pickups and a hip shot drop tuner. Its tone is unreal. It’s got that baked in natural powerful P-Bass tone. it’s been played hard but professionally maintained. It’s got scars but they add to its character. -

I found a new 'shelf' for my Elf today

Ironically, I've just received the mailer from Rush Backstage for the Grace Under Pressure Super Deluxe set coming out in March.

What does a reverse P configuration achieve compared to the standard Fender configuration? Ive got a bass with each type of P pickup but they're so different in terms of preamp and pickup position and bridge setup that I can't tell what reversing them has done.

150 comments and most of them irrelevant to the main issue 🙄 Feel a bit sorry for the OP re the 'It's a blu ray not a DVD' crap.
-
Is it the angle or is the body shape wrong? The lower cut seems too high towards the pickups. I appreciate it's a copy of course.

I'm a big fan of the Fender Hi-Mass bridge — Currently only £35 from Amazon I have these on (at least) six basses. The Brass saddles seem to keep the notes punchy.

Hi Nik, Many thanks for your message. An InPost locker service would be £1.99 or Royal Mail 2nd class £3.50. David -
The important question is, can you get a tort pick guard to fit?
-
Well, this arrived a few minutes ago: No breakages or anything. To be brutally honest, I'm stunned as to how nice it is. Frets need a bit of a polish, strings are nasty, neck is straight, there's no flaws in the finish...even the machine heads seem to hold. Obviously things need a bit of fettling, but for £200, there's nothing here not to like. In all probability the plan is to swap out the hardware; P94s, 300k pots, strap locks and further down the line machine heads. These are a job for future Paulie.

One thing I've done as a result of all this is to chart out the songs as the band plays them with notes to explain. One day they might need a dep or a replacement and having this reference material is going to save some bassist a lot of time. It could well be a fellow Basschatter. You're welcome. 😀 -
Hi there @MungoBass, I'm interested in this - what would UK postage be on top please? Many thanks, Nik -

I briefly ran a Mark Bass 102P with a 151P, and I didn't like it. A pair of 102Ps was a lot better. I've always run matching cabs ever since.

I'm the newbie and there's quite a few things above that on the list of things to be having chats about that will refine the set. Things are really positive and moving forward, I need to be selective and focus. -
SWMBO has decreed that I have enough basses... Problem is she can't tell the difference between a MIM Fender Jazz and an American Professional II Precision... as long as they're both in Sunburst. So, this one is being quietly sold to make way... It's a 2014 Standard Jazz (Mexico), has a couple of dings - one on the head and the other just next to the bridge - both fairly small. Otherwise in good shape - usual scuffs on pickguard and pickup covers. Hard case included in sale. Cash on collection from Effingham (near Leatherhead/Guildford) in Surrey. You're most welcome to try before you buy.-

hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
That is crazy. It's the bit that makes a relatively boring bass line interesting and they've screwed it. I would be having words. -
I definitely think it feels more that way with a parallel wired MM pickup (i.e. in a stock Stingray) than say a set of Jazz ones with volume pots in front. But yeah, it's probably not the best call for those who want to cut a lot of signal in any case.

I'm currently getting my head around playing "those sections" of Times Like These in 4/4 time instead of 7/4. I can see the logic in making the decision but it's not difficult to count 3 / 4 then 4/4 to get to 7. That one is a lazy shortcut and and is now 15 years ingrained into 4 people so I'm "re-learning" it. -
I’ve got a 1506ms - it’s a great instrument, and very similar to this I think. Really wonderful feeling neck. GLWTS
