Telebass

I used to work in a guitar shop, so many times a day!

Since I got my Super 15, I've often wondered how much air I could shift with two of them and a V4B...

Used an AC50 head for years. Great amp.

On mine, I left everything stock except the pickup (and the previously mentioned neck!). Installed a Seymour Duncan SPB-2. The electronics work fine - not broke, so I didn't fix it. Hardware wise, bridge is fine, put different tuners on, but probably didn't need to.

Yamaha?

Keep spare strings and bits and bobs in large Haribo tubs, well washed, with silica gel packs. The local sweet shop puts them out for re-use.

Este Haim is the Boss, no question, and a good player also.

Damn, I've just noticed there's one on the Kingman also!

The Wilkinsons are no bigger than the equivalent Fenders. I've checked that they would fit on a Squier VM Telebass. No problem. Good tuners, have them on both my main basses, and under 25 squids delivered!

I eventually swapped out the fretless neck on mine for a VM77 Jazz neck. Now my main gigging bass.

Theme from The Muppets. ..

I've been using LDs for some years. Upgrading the phones is not something you can put off, as you're unlikely to hear much, if anything, clearly. This goes double for bass. The reality is that this is something where cutting corners is not going to work. Get the Shures if at all possible, then upgrade the phones later. That way the starting point is better and won't put you off the whole idea.

Leave it alone and put some thread lock on the saddle screws. There's nothing whatever wrong with the standard bridge.

As has been mentioned in the Fender v Squier thread, my Squier bitsa (VM P body, VM77 Jazz neck) is my main gigging bass now. Does have upgraded pickups and tuners, but probably didn't need them, really.

Oh yeah, want to hear/see more of this!

So, everyone, back on topic - Fender or Squier? I've tested my two and given an answer. Your turn.

For fans of Wunjos in Denmark Street, they are now Warwick dealers, and have several Aliens in stock.

It's awful, as are the Tylers. Most of the rest are merely meh...
