  1. Past hour
  2. I’ve had one of these - in this colour too, absolutely fantastic, wipes the floor with a Sterling SUB for me
  3. I'm giving up on this - will now resign myself to posting on the desktop PC only instead of enjoying contributing whilst in bed, eating, drinking, ignoring Mrs G's choice of TV in the lounge or at my daily constitutional(s) - shame but there it is... thank you for your help - as they say, it's not you, it's me!
  4. Pickups need potting? Dipping in wax to stop the coils getting jiggy with themselves and squealing.
  5. Once had a great day of drinking beer and watching bands with the talented Jim Gilmour just after he joined Saga. He's a local lad from back in early 80's. Fantastic musician and really nice guy. We kept in touch for a while on FB but haven't spoken in a while now. Dave
  6. I've had a couple as well today. Definitely dodgy!
  7. Hi folksa This just popped into my messages. Looks dodgy to me. Why would Reverb Support use Daniel's Gear Locker as their account?
  8. That version introduced me to the Who’s back catalogue!!
  9. A few more, 1981 Victory Standard, 1982 Victory Custom, and a 1985 Q80.
  10. Worth sticking with, we almost gave up at episode 3 but kept going for the promise of a bit of SLF's suspect device, episode 4 onwards was much more enjoyable!
  11. Maybe the placebo effect, but I can’t put it down!
  12. A Hiwatt 4x12 cab with a none descript 1x12 bass cab for £15.00, I only wanted the bass cab and had no idea about the Hiwatt, it turned out to be a mint all original 1960's cab still loaded with Celestion Greenbacks, my local guitar shop gave me £1200.00 in px on it against a Les Paul, so god only knows what it was actually worth!
  13. I was so tempted to push the button on that in Bass Bros. Well done that man, cracking bass.
  14. So I have a 1963 precision which I love to bits, however I was concerned about taking her to gigs, not that’s its irreplaceable but I’d hate to see her sprayed Matt black and sold for £250 at cash converters if it ever got stolen. I had a Tony Franklin fretless precision a while ago, and it was a superb bass, played extremely well and the build was top notch. I just had no need for it. I’d seen the fretted model in pictures but they seem to be like rocking horse sh!t, so when I saw one pop up at Bass Bros I got myself down there sharpish. I’m playing in a psych rock band now and the precision is a great fit, but occasionally I wanted a little more growl and bite so the three way toggle switch and jazz pick up (I know this sound from the fretless) would be ideal. I wasn’t disappointed. For those that have owned/played a Franklin signature you know where I’m coming from, they easily match the stuff coming from the custom shop. For those that haven’t, I’d highly recommend you find someone who has one and try it, it will start your search. The action is low, I play in drop D and it handles it well, I was disappointed there wasn’t a dtuner on it like the fretless, but I can fix this. Anyway it has surpassed my expectations so much the 63 will be up for sale soon, this meets all my requirements.
  15. A splash of mouthwash on a rag also works well as a gentle (and paint friendly) cleaner if you don’t happen to have alcohol wipes.
  16. These ones?- https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware/tuning-machines/electric-bass-tuning-machines/graph-tech-bass-ratio-4-in-line-tuner-set-with-y-style-knobs/?&pref_currency=GBP&shipcalc=UK&mtm_source=google&mtm_medium=cpc&mtm_campaign=|+GOO+|+SHOP+|+NBR+|+AllProductsUK&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr-CrzKX3hQMVmJJQBh2G9QPhEAQYBCABEgLKKfD_BwE They seem reasonably priced. Never come across the idea of different ratio tuners. I dear it may be a bit of a gimmick but the idea intrigues me…….
  17. Today
  18. Ok so it’s not as compact as a Noble but it offers so much more. I’d say it’s better value too when you’re into this price range based on what it offers.
  19. Buy graph tec Ratio tuners. They have a different ratio for each string to make tuning more accurate. They will however cost 10 times more than the bass is worth but at least least you'll be super accurately in tune!
  20. Ya, i just use a random 3 button switch.
