Yes, I had spotted that when I was sourcing the strap. Not sure what that’s all about.

I watch a lot of Queen and bass related videos on You Tube, so it randomly threw this at me today. Did make me laugh....

Tickets now on sale for our gig at Fat Lil's, Witney. Click here.

Yes, I think they are the ones I have 👍

'Superwounds'' apparently and they're not made any more I don't think. I used to use them myself back in the day, but I think I'll stick with my usual.

I was looking on Strings Direct and noticed that Schaller's have changed since I last bought some. Mine are more ball like on the ends and these are not....

That’s very kind of you Mart. PM incoming 👍

Looks perfect. How much do you want for it? 😂

Saw this on the Coda Music site. Looks lovely, but would still have one of those pesky 1.75” nut width necks 😂

Ha ha. Vintage radio pack - there’s an idea....that we won’t go with. I do have the Line 6 Relay G75 though 😎

I must admit, I looked at those Martin picks and wondered how the hell he managed to ram them in between the pick guard and the body. They look quite thick.

Another point of compromise I think. I've seen the correct picks, but not in the right colour. Probably go with these as I know I like them....

I think I'm going to have to compromise a little on the shirt. Goes against the grain, but I don't think I have much chance of finding that exact design unless I go and raid the Bohemian Rhapsody wardrobe dept. I've ordered a Limelight - '68 Precision body with rosewood jazz width satin finish neck, big TV logo on head stock, natural finish on body, tort 3 ply pick guard, vintage reverse tuners, threaded saddle bridge, light relic, tug bar in period correct lower position. Officially out of the 2019 Gear Abstinence Challenge and not in a way that I ever foresaw 😂. There's always next year 🙄

I really must get my eyes checked. I thought they probably should/would be, but thought they looked like they were sticking out a bit too much and there was some black ring in there. Trick of the light maybe. Thanks again.

Sorry to bother you once again @AndyTravis, do you happen to know what strap locks he's using here. They don't look like anything I've used before. I've sourced the Fender strap and the bass is ordered, so I may as well go the whole hog 😎

Well, that’s a very kind offer and I do think we need to see it 😂 EDIT: Being worn by you obviously 😜

Now Stingray’s I’m not short of 😂

Gonna borrow one from the Hair Bear Bunch 😂

Having spoken with them, I do think a Limelight would be the better option. Don’t need the silverware to go with it and no custom paint job either, although I would expect a degree of relicing 😀

Well, it’s more like I’m using the opportunity to get a Precision built that I will actually get along with. It will have Jazz C profile neck, but the rest will be all Precision 😀

Fabulous. You’re a star 👏. Thank you.

OK thank you.

Again, I know little about vintage Fender, but wouldn’t the earlier one be the black ‘spaghetti’ logo and the later one be a gold ‘transitional’ one possibly? Seems the above suggest the other way around.

Mmm. I need to try and see if I can identify what colour the logo is then. Would there be any difference in bridge/saddles/tuners etc between a ‘65 and a ‘68? EDIT: Great piece of info by the way. Thank you 👍

Maybe that was the Nash bass that was mentioned?
