    My First fender. I hated every minute of working in bejams over the summer in 1982 after leaving school, but I was doing it to buy this new from Rockbottom in Croydon for £260. It was actually made up of two separate basses in the international colours series — I asked if they could get one in with the body like the cherry sunburst precision (that had a rosewood fretless neck) and a fretted maple neck like the one on a yellow precision. After confirming that this was a serious enquiry, they took the two basses into their workshop for ten minutes and came back with the necks swapped. I was eighteen at the time and had never played a real fender before so I had no idea that a precision bass really shouldn't weigh as much as a small elephant. It currently has an EMG Geezer pickup & electronics, and a Fender High Mass Bridge. It sounds fantastic, but can't compete with my JMJs for comfort.

    For clarification, the Streamliner also operated the tubes at 300V.

    A breath of fresh air for music in the UK, and another TV producer that thought the music wasn't enough!

    My oldest bass is my Rob Allen MB2, which I’ve had for coming up 10 years. My oldest instrument is my Simon & Patrick Rosewood Pro, acoustic guitar, which I’ve had for nearly 30 years.

    Lovely analogue chorus, dead simple interface. In outstanding condition. With all original packaging. Stock photo as placeholder. Pictures of my unit to follow. Actual postage costs to be added.

    This is a lovely bass and in outstanding condition. I only got this recently as it was an itch I had been wanting to scratch for ages. However, despite having cut my teeth on a Jazz bass and having played them exclusively for many years, once I started playing a Precision I realised that’s where my sound really is. Therefore, as beautiful as this bass is, I probably shouldn’t keep it as most of the time I’ll reach for a P. (I’m also trying to save up for an acoustic piano.) This is a 2015 model so has the better pickups and tuners compared to the earlier ones. It’s completely stock. Includes the case candy: paperwork, tags, truss rod tool (but no hex keys). A few things worth mentioning (which were there when I got it): 1. There are a couple of very small paint chips to back the that have been filled with a different white (see images). 2. Theres a scratch/indentation in the board at the 17th fret (see image). 3. The two retainer straps on the case which stop it opening past 90 degrees are detached; these could be glued back into place fairly easily. It had a fresh setup right before I bought it with new strings and a super low action. It plays effortlessly. EDIT - it has Fender strap locks (found them in a bag in the case. These might have been standard on the Deluxe model. Collection from Sheffield.

    I keep coming back to this... If I can sell a bass I currently have listed, I will have to give it a try!

    Well Newcastle ideally but I could make Leeds work. It's about time I visited my brother.. I'll pm you tomorrow.

    I have owned this exact model cab, which is very clear and superbly engineered.

    Yamaha drum machine for sale. Collection welcome or UK insured postage for £6.50. Condition is good, minor marks and scratches, battery cover slightly mishapen but works fine as does the whole machine. No power supply or box, will include manual if I can find it, but readily available online.

    Ah, dont get me started lol. Ive been hammering it home since i joined that the mix is everything. They sort of get it but cant seem to figure out how to do it. I record everything, and was doing full multitracks even at rehearsals, but found just recording the room gave a better idea of whats going on. Don't get me wrong, we dont make a bad sound, but ive thrown in the towel and just take a back seat now. The last few sound checks ive just handed the ipad over to Dawn and told her to get on with it. After all, i cant go out front and play (well, i know how to but, its too much effort) and she can sort them out. I need to be in the mix when we sound check. No point me standing near the front, ive got my IEM’s in all the time as i don’t use an amp. Yes, that video was near the start of the night. I guess the biggest culprit is the drummer. He gets louder and so they get louder. I refuse to turn the PA up and insist that this is the one thing that doesn't change after the sound check, so they need to keep that in mind. That gig was the first that the guitarist closet to the camera wasnt using IEM’s, and it did make a difference as he could tell when he was getting downed out.

    I've got an Epiphone FT-140 Dreadnaught acoustic I've owned since I was 12/13, so mid-70s. My gran died, mum treated me off her inheritance. It came from Adam Music, Staines (see thread elsewhere). Needs a refret. Basses, nowhere near. Ten years.

    Steve bought some tuners from me, a completely positive, speedy transaction throughout. Deal with confidence. I'll be interested to see the finished bass, keep me posted! All the best, Martin

    It's too many originals bands grateful just to be given a place to play that seems to be the problem. Don't know how it's to be fixed but if you have a dep playing on someone's vanity project then the dep should be aware of the package before signing up. That could be; 'the band' pay travelling expenses, drinks or the dep is happy to just be helpful. What the band is getting paid shouldn't come into this. The band are the people who want to play their music, not the dep. It's different to cover bands where the band are expecting to get paid the going rate. In short, if the gig isnt paying enough for the dep, the band members pay them out of their pockets. If a member of the band can't get to the gig because they're skint, that's up to the other members of the band (not including the dep) to decide how they continue to support that member.

    I have (what was) Woodinblack's RST and I can confirm it is crazy light with no dive; its party trick is handing it to people and seeing their face when they realise just how light it is.

    When i practised drum beats to bass and different chords from guirar and keyboard, I just used a lot of different wav saples, mixing together and playing over and over again. The collection i got was for free from my friend. It was easy and very healpful, but of couse there are a lot soft. One of them i was interested was ''gig a day''.

    Hello. I've just stumbled across this thread and I'm intrigued. Any updates? I found myself in almost exactly the same situation with a perhaps even more battered old bass a few years ago, and managed to get it back into playable condition – I could probably provide some tips that would be helpful (and that would probably strike fear and dismay into a serious DB luthier).

    Guitar Pro would fit the bill; it's easy to use, and a free trial is available. Not expensive, but try it first..? Guitar Pro ...

    I'm sure it's gotta be 99% emperor's new clothes for those who are upgrading. I'd definitely go for a V2 if I was in the market for a comp, but never if I already had a V1. The metering is nice, but also in an odd way an admission you didn't really know how to set it before? 😅
  34. Woodinblack
    It was the 5 sienna burst. Really incredibly light and resonant. A very good bass really - so totally different from the Euro, which weighs a ton

    Are you winning the comp collecting comp?
  36. ProjeKtWEREWOLF
    I still have my first bass. It's a Charvette by Charvel from 88/89 ish maybe?). I bought it used in 1993. It's currently in pieces, waiting for a respray and some custom wound pickups.
