Agree, good to see the Fender name on a reasonably affordable instrument again.

Sad news I’m afraid Mick

I’m pretty sure it was I Wanna Be Me by The Sex Pistols

So sad, RIP Nick, you were one of the good ones and will be missed by many

Thank you very much

Let’s all hope it’s unrelated

Aguilar Tonehammer does dirty

That’s pretty astonishing

The only reverse P I’ve any experience of was hearing a Mark Hoppus Sig bass, to me it evened out the sound very nicely, as above lost low end flub on the E/A, and also beefed up the D/G. Interestingly this was at a blind P-Bass shootout at the Herts Bass Bash some years back. Up against some heavyweight opposition (50s, 60s, 70s Precisions) the Hoppus was the runaway winner, bassists voting with their ears only.

Another good transaction with Nik, stopped off at mine to buy a wireless kit and we of course had a chat about all things bass. A sterling Basschatter, deal with confidence.

Many moons ago I was looking at a bass in one of the big names. I had a bass to trade so phoned them up as it was a fair distance to drive. The person that answered was so evasive as to offering any indication of trade in value. In the end I got a little (more than a little) exasperated and said look, I know the resale value of my bass is xx pounds. If I bring it all the way to your shop and I’m offered half that I will hit the person over the head with it. Now, in possession of that knowledge would you advise I get in my car or stay at home. I was advised to stay at home. I’ve nothing against being offered a low amount, and am perfectly aware that the final offer is dependent on condition, but it was the evasiveness and refusal to give any indication of a value that got me. To be honest if they’d come straight out with a sum that was half the resale value I’d probably have taken it, as it’s the evasiveness cost the a sale and a future profit on my trade in.

Looks great
