If getting a US Fender 5 string then a Fender Stealth String Retainer on the B tightens it up a bit. Easy to fit, requires no permanent changes, just undo the nut on the tuning peg, take off the washer, put on the retainer, put the nut back on.

I had to do this a few years back, I did agree to stay around til they found a replacement which I thought was the decent thing to do.

Very nice

Ah, that`s the EVO-1 version, apologies for leading you up the path so to speak, mines the EVO-2, thought they all has the headphone switch.

That`s not good at all, bit surprised at G4M acting so shoddily. Re the amp itself, there`s a small headphones on/off switch on the back, have you seen/tried that, I ask as it`s caught me out numerous times.

Yes good choice, the RM amps are unsung heroes imo.

Nice

The one at our rehearsal was a soft rock song, the guy just said what he wanted, what instruments/tempo/type of singer, and it did it. Re the clip above, it’s not the type of music I listen to so I couldn’t say whether AI or not, or if it is AI it’s been done well.

I can’t view FB as not a member, but chap who works at our rehearsal studio played us a song which was excellent, he just said to AI what he wanted and it did it exactly. Worrying imo

Now we’re moving away from musical equipment in general: Thanking. Yes, thanking. Singers that thank everyone and everything in between every darn song. My thanks are when you shut this shyte up and just play some songs.

Thread resurrection time! Just watching Queen at Wembley on Sky Arts, and it’s great how when Brian May is soloing the songs don’t drop. I think this down to obviously good song arrangements with bass & drums really working well, but the bass tone as well, it not being particularly low down bassy or overly toppy but that more mid-focused sound you get from flats and a Precision.

Unless you fancy a change of sound given you already had a Peavey I’d go for the Mkii 600, you’ll know pretty much what you’re going to get and what to work with.

Appears similar to Sandberg, it looks like there’s a screw on the back of the blocks just underneath the strings, if it works the same as Sandberg tightening this extends two locker bars either side of the block, so to adjust loosen this, then physically tap the block in the direction required.

Just watching Chappell Roan at Reading, don’t know any of the material but very enjoyable, great to see such a good artist/band.

Is the most honest Basschat answer

Ah get what you mean, well I’d say all were of similar - pardon the pun - standard. My ultimate faves are the 12 - 15, playability wise I just gel with the necks the best which are chunkers, but no standout points on build, with playability being down to the individual. Given you’ve a 2015 Jazz I’d say look at this series for Precisions too as I find the Jazz necks on this series quite chunky. Again if pushed I’d say 08 - 12 my least fave on playability as necks quite flat/shallow, which isn’t my thing.

Having had several US Standard Precisions I wouldn’t avoid any, but my findings would be: Late 90s - all over good bass, decent neck depth and good chunky sounding pickup Mid 2000s - good basses, S1 Switching which to me didn’t add anything at all, good depth neck, fairly neutral pickup with no real frequency bias so ideal to fit in most genres very easily Late 2000s (08 - 12) - decent basses, flatter neck which makes it feel wider, pickup sounded quite scooped 2012 - 15 - my fave, nice chunky deep neck, Custom Shop 62 pickups give a good depth to the sound, lightweight tuners I’d happily have any of them, if pushed I’d say stock the 08 - 12s are my least fave as I prefer to have mids and scoop them myself, but a pickup change is easy enough and solves that.

So first we have me in The Shout, prob 88/89 Secondly we have me in The Spacewasters 2022 (I do have later pics but they’re pony, so this one gets the outing)

Looks great, a classic look

Easily, one of the problems I find with most drive/gain demos is it always seems to be drive on full. The Spark with the gain set lower is excellent at that “ touch of hair” on the sound to warm it up and take away the harder sound of the clean notes.

Best not get a job as a fortune teller…..

I`ve stayed on friendly terms with everyone I`ve been in bands with, might not see them for years but when bump into them still get on fine. A couple of times individuals have really annoyed me to the point of wanting to leave but I`ve stayed, more out of loyalty to the rest who weren`t being donkeybacksides, and it`s always been the right decision, act with haste, repent at leisure not really being my thing. Similarly I`ve never been in a band where someone has left and had the raging hump with any of the rest of the band.

Mouldy Old Dough & Crazy Horses, loved them as a kid, and still do now. Used to do Crazy Horses in an old band, complete with the cross-legged dance thing they used to do.

Might be worth a call/message to Dave Green at Ashdown, see if he can recommend something.
