I played a Masterbuilt Strat last year, easily the best guitar I’ve ever played. Whether or not it’s worth the price tag is a different matter, I just know how great that guitar was to play, and the sound, even through a practice amp there was no ice-pickiness, just clear as a bell but with a richness to it I’ve never heard from any other Strat.

Yep, The Pretenders are a great band, unlike many of the older singers Chrissie Hynde has managed to keep her voice, possibly through always singing quite deep rather than at the top of her range.

I really don’t know how everyone puts up with this. I’d have to stop gigging if it happened to bands I was in. At 56 I have to acknowledge that should I lump someone that does it when I’m on stage I’m now in the more than likely position of losing should things proceed. Makes me glad to play punk/Oi, anyone who ends up on stage is either part of an overall stage invasion (and generally friends or at least people known) or has just been thrown there by the rest of the crowd and gets off asap.

Don’t know anything about these basses, but why have 6 when you can have 7?

I have two: 1 - Never Mind The Bollocks Here`s The Sex Pistols 2 - Appetite for Destruction - Guns N Roses No filler tracks, great production & energy In a close third place is Back in Black by AC/DC, just a couple of songs on there that don`t hit the spot for me

Yeah, pretty much an ideal set up that

Probably the only 210 I’d think as being up to it is the Barefaced 210. But to be honest Stu I’d look at getting another of the same 112, assuming it’s 8ohm of course. Not sure about your band or gigs you do but in general I look at most 210s as being just not quite enough. If a single cab is def your intent then in that position I’d be checking out 212s.

Classic colour scheme

Totally agree re Paul Young, he had a great voice but saw a programme with him singing on it and it was such a shame, that wonderful voice had completely gone. Who be JBJ? Ah, just worked it out, yes he now sounds hideous. Should watch the Living On a Prayer (Goat Edition) - Bon Jovi - YouTube - probably better than he can manage at present.

It`s funny but recently I`ve arranged a few parcels via Parcelforce directly and they`ve been cheaper than going via Interparcel/Parcel2go etc, whereas a few years back it was def the other way round.

TC Spark Booster (full sized one) I reckon would fit the bill nicely.

Only having to go three times a night, luxury, pure luxury...................

I know flats last a long time but that’s getting a bit much. Darn good strings tho, just scored a set off here at a much better price 😀

Looks great, and I think those eq points are pretty well thought out, maybe treble a bit high but imo all a fair bit more useable than how they used to be. The stock Markbass sound is one that always seems to fit nicely in a mix.

Or if you’re only going to be playing the one bass but a Precision & swap the necks?

Sounds fairly typical, I just wonder why, when they can hear it themselves, that they think it sounds ok. I’m sure Ruts were good though, always put on a good show and are decent chaps, Leigh especially.

Luckily I’ve not seen this type of behaviour at Rebellion. Probably a combination of it both being indoors and punks & skins being just that little bit more cultured & civilised.

I always associate JD with the natural Precision

Great tribute, very envious

I had a Nemesis 410 cab, really light, great sound.

As a matter of interest @la bam, what’s the tribute?

Get stacked knobs so only two knobs rather than three, and get a black control plate made. From a distance it will look more in keeping with the Precision especially if you have the knobs to be where the bridge pickup volume & tone knobs would be on a standard Jazz plate. I wonder if our very own KiOgon could help out on some of this.

Just watching Jeff Lynnes ELO at Wembley again - love this show.

Good choice, great bits of gear.

If I recall correctly Fender tuners are something like 19:1 in comparison to Hipshots which are about 26:1 - I read this stuff a while back so numbers might be a bit off, but I did replace the stock Fenders on a Mex Precision with Hipshots which are much smoother.
