Sure! I don't know who you're referencing, but all contributory stories are welcome.😉

Yep. There's no way it was only 12kg. Maybe they've made it lighter since then

Yep, I played mostly 60's Fender Jazz Basses throughout the 80's, however, the decade for me was constantly peppered with owning and gigging with a bunch of boutique and vintage basses as well. Among the basses I owned included an '84 Ibanez Musician in Pearl White which I gigged with maybe two times - nice bass! Another local bassist (who was miles ahead of me) saw me playing it and offered to buy it, so I didn't own it for long. Like you, the bass situation was constantly in motion! There were so many cool basses to choose from at the time, and SO much innovation! Man, guitar players got skunked by comparison during the decade when it came to new ideas.😉 Nope, what bassists experienced in the 80's will never be repeated. I don't think ANY other instrument throughout history will ever match the incredible renaissance which took place in the 80's with the Electric Bass.😎

And easily faked with copper shielding tape

When you say the shielding, you mean the plastic over the wire. If that's it, heating it with anything will allow you to get rid of that protection with enough wire exposure to solder.

There are 3 Slabs with consecutive serial numbers, this being the first of the 3. the 2nd one has a Birds Eye maple neck much the same and was down as an Exhibition bass and is documented within the BM book. JE had the 3rd one. there's a 'before, during and after ' diary of the work carried out - And a hand written letter from the deceased previous owner. Doesn't stand for much for authenticity but certainly the facts add up with what is stated within it. I've had a few vintage guitars and basses- im not a dealer nor an expert but I know enough to walk away or buy, and with that and the above it was enough for me to pull the trigger I would have preferred one in original condition.. maybe next time.

Back up for sale today... -
I'm not sure if people have seen this before but I revisited this from 5 years ago and HS and his fabulous band put in a great performance and do the song justice. Along with Pino on 'Tear your playhouse down', this is my favourite bassline and I do like an octaver. The bassist gets a great bass octave sound and I believe he's Adam Prendergast -

Bought this a few weeks back from GG. It`s a 2008 Standard P bass in vgc (I would describe it as mint but there could be something I have missed). It has all the original case candy and the TSA case is in great condition as well. The only non original things are a replacement scratch plate as the original tort had warped but I will include it, a set of Gotoh strap pins and a fresh set of EB Slinkys. The bass weighs 4 kg or 8.9 lbs. This range was a step up from the previous Standards and you can feel and hear the quality when you play it, I don`t think the previous owner ever played it. Why put it up for sale then? I have had it down to the studio once and was treating it with kid gloves so not the kind of bass I would feel comfortable taking down the Dog and Duck. Also I have damaged my knee and have been off work and may need further treatment so could be doing with the cash. Collection from Paisley or meet up withing reason only. Not looking for trades.-

Faulty Katana GO Headphone Amp???

That might be simply what that patch does. I'll try it myself in a bit and see what it does. - Today

The impedance of the Stingray pickup is quite low, that of each Ray4 coil is more than double. Connecting them in parallel and installing a 2-band clone EQ (Retrovibe Stinger or one of the DIY kit ones) would give a pretty close approximation of the Stingray sound - the pickup and preamp interact far more on the Stingray than on other active basses.

Like I said, you said "exactly the same" - just keeping you honest, bud

Should we ask Bean9Seventy? (Joking)

I listened to this fully expecting to like the ‘Ray more, as I’m on a bit of a ‘Ray kick at the moment. But no, J Bass on all counts for me. It just seemed more authoritative and less hollow than the MM. -

Then I'm sure that must be right, but they made a point of telling me how MK had flogged a relatively new bass they had given him. Like I said previously, I have no idea of the details of this incident. It came up as a topic of conversation because there was a switch on my custom Legacy Elite that Joe called the Mark King switch. Mark King didn't have that switch on his bass, but Joe Zon thought that with the switch engaged it gave the bass a Mark King-like tone. .

I dimly remember - and could be wrong - the specs of that driver favoured using it in such a way that you could get a good amount of upper bass from it, but if tuned this way in a fair-sized box it was particularly vulnerable to unloading below the resonant frequency, so pops and thumps with ultra low frequency content would be dangerous, and accordingly it particularly benefits from a (steep) high pass filter. Xmax was also measured using Klippel analysis which put it around 4mm, because it remained quite well behaved as the coil started to leave the magnetic gap - but really Xmax by measurement the old fashioned way would be just 2.5mm.
