Even Deacon knew the P couldn't cut the mustard for AOBTD

There are also many players that record with something else then mime with a P Bass to look the part in the video.

So a lot of pros play a P bass, slow news day?

Just had a look and that was a bargain although without the original case and the pickup swapped even though included won't help the resale.

That's what you get for selling something between Christmas and new year. Also when I've 'won' things at a low price the seller has miraculously lost, broken or had said item stolen.

Nah, I just keep plugging them back in when the drunkards trip over them! Were going in ears next year all being well.

Looks ideal, active?, MM and jazz neck, decent bridge and tuners.

I have a full fat 2013 Fender USA Jazz V here with the top of the range adjustable high mass bridge, even with my medium action some of the saddle adjustment screws are sticking out the top.

I have room full of basses here but my 2010 Ray 5 is my all rounder, it has a slightly high fret (6th I think?) if you set the action super low but nothing a pro setup and fret dress stone wouldn't solve in less than two minutes other than that it is perfect right down to the sparkle blue finish, it isn't very heavy either. It feels like a bass you could take on a world tour and need nothing other than strings and a few 9v batteries which is probably why there are still a fair few pro players using them even though more exotic stuff exists.

Mine all have room to spare anyway so nothing I will need to worry myself with, Old Horse Murphy had the action down to a gnats knacker on my Classic 5 before I owned it too but I have since raised it up.

I am way too ham fisted to worry about that, two minutes on a bench grinder would solve it should you really need to.

Like I said all mine are five string so don't have the weak G, I'm still waiting to hear about the problem with the saddles?

We have the same issue with our DBtechnologies powered monitors.

I do like the look of them, always have.

Not your thread, the NBD thread by RedVee , He said that EBMM are lacking in quality yet in his thread the Rick has most of the niggles they come with that need putting right.

I'm not sure, every one I've had has been maple 😃

The 55-94 is a great bass, and twice the price though? I dont think any SR5s have an unrolled board, maybe less than some.

All mine are five string so I don't have the weak G, this thing about saddles is new to me so I'm not sure yet what "the usual flaws" are yet.

I'm not on any other forums.

I'd start a 'Rickenbacker basses, Overated?' Thread but hardly anyone rates them highly anyway 🤣 Junk.

Doesn't bother me at all, who says I can't handle it? , I play a USA Jazz most the time anyway. Did I trash the Ricky in the Ricky thread? You can't comment on terrible bridge saddles (that no one else has heard of) and say they are low quality compared to a Rick when in your own thread you are talking about changing the shoddy bridge, altering the pickup height to fix that issue, glueing the other pickup back in straight and having to fit a pickup surround on a hugely expensive bass without getting picked up on it.

Yeah good family pie session thanks, I'll get Jim to ask about the club to do the set up and see what dates we can all do to suit you, our iem tech!

Yes I'm feeding the laptop into the XR, The bass in via the BDI21 then out aux 4 to my ears, we must have changed it when we went for a pie, two of the other three were on stereo too.

I presume it gained that weight and sounded nasal after you bought it then somehow? I've tried many Ric's, they were all junk in my opinion, so I didn't buy them!

They've "fixed all the issues" yet you've listed the modifications it needs in your thread, lol.
