    Great version. As well as the original, there is a beautifully heart-wrenching version by Esther Phillips.

    Hi folks - selling a Pedaltrain Premium Soft Case, the big one that fits the Classic Jr, PT-JR, Novo 18. Maybe taken it out about 10 times. Excellent case - front pocket holds a GenzBenz Shuttle 9.2 - a bit slimmer than a Markbass LM2, taller than a Markbass F1. Brand new they are £139 but I can't find one in stock anywhere. Selling this for NOW £95 with UK postage.

    I’d highly recommend going through Danny Stewart at BassJapanDirect. I’ve bought from him twice, both times everything went as flawless as could be. First time he sourced a bass for me, second time he shipped out a bass I had found, saving me a few quid on ridiculous shipping. Great communication from him too.

    Nice one. I didn’t know about this. I have the earlier model and love it. Prefer it over the ones I’ve had previously - Morley Power Wah, Dunlop wah (old black model) and the EBS Stanley Clarke wah. My only critique is it’s small size (ironic, I know) but that’s just me. For some reason I like bigger, full size volume and wah pedals.

    Sad news indeed. Rick was a real gentleman - took the time to answer several of my noob questions in very helpful detail.

    If your ears say yes, then yes. Roger Sadowsky has said before that he can hear the difference between maple/pau ferro fingerboards much more clearly than between different body wood types.

    I have a CIJ Precision - a 70’s reissue from the early 2000s, and a Mexican Player Precision. The CIJ is pure comfort and tone. The Player is up there in comfort, the tone is a bit anemic at times - but it’s not a fair comparison as the CIJ has a rosewood neck and flats, the Player has a maple neck and rounds. All in all I’d take the CIJ everytime but I wouldn’t be crying if all I had was the Player. Both necks feel SO good.

    Whatcha got?

    Hi folks - here is a brand new MOD Dwarf. Brand new as in one week old - taken out only to test, played with for about one hour. This is a Founders Edition model - I was an earlybird funder on IndieGoGo. Finally received this a week ago, but my plans for it in 2020 have long since gone. Unit is as mint as a minty thing. Brand new these are £444 from Thomann - I'm selling this for £400 posted - which also includes €150 of vouchers for the MOD store. Here's a little of what the MOD Dwarf does.

    Hi all - up for sale is my Fender Jazz 1962 Reissue in Olympic White - Made in Mexico in 2015. Rosewood neck, reverse gear tuners, 38mm neck. Weighs 4.2kg. Bought recently here but have my eye on something else, so last one in, etc. No case but will be well packed, as it was to me. Can be shipped in a used hard case for extra £30. I'm in Co.Down, N.Ireland if anyone is local. Selling for £440 £420 plus postage.

    Hey folks - up for sale is my Fender Player Precision in Tidepool - Made in Mexico in 2020. Bought in June 2020, played maybe two gigs with it. In near mint condition - one tiny ding at the bottom of the letter 'P' in Precision on the headstock. Amazingly fun bass to play and the colour is just magical in the flesh/wood. It pains me to part with it but I have my eyes on something else so time to move on. Comes with dustcover gig bag. £550 £500 plus postage. I'm in Co.Down, N.Ireland if anyone is local.

    Thanks for that Artisan. Hmmmm - feeling my GAS might be heading in the ABZ direction - I do like a skinny neck. More food for thought. Appreciate the responses everyone.
  17. Gareth Hughes
    Ah - I did think to ask you directly but I thought yours was a 5.

    Hi all - I've been bitten by the Dingwall bug but have none nearby to try. So a question to you 4 string Dingwall owners - with the nut width being slanted (45.5mm on a 4 string D-Roc for example) - does anyone have an idea of what that translates to on the parallel side of things? In other words - in the hand, does the neck feel like a 38mm Jazz neck or a 42mm Precision neck, etc? Thanks in advance, Gareth

    I’m torn. So many I could choose from, and a few I could happily never hear again (‘My Way’ anyone?) - and this coming from a guy with a Rock N Roll Over cover tattoo. Honourable mention: ‘Who Wants To Be Lonely’. Winner for me is: Parasite. But honestly, they’re all winners 😀. I have a playlist on the iPod called ‘Kiss-a-thon’. It’s every studio album, solos included, in chronological order. My youngest, 11, puts it in shuffle in the school run. Too much fun.

    Borderline disco, but the 4 to the floor and the chorus harmonies push it over the edge, IMO.
  21. Gareth Hughes
    And bought - cheers for that. Been wanting a Bassman sound in this format for a while. Worth it for that alone.
  22. Gareth Hughes
    The black pickguard with the tidepool and maple doesn’t work in my head and then seeing it in reality it just somehow works, IMO.
  23. Gareth Hughes
    Thanks for that, much appreciated. Even more tempted now! Looks so good.
  24. Gareth Hughes
    Is that a maple fingerboard on a Tidepool bass? If so, any chance of a full length pic? Loving the black pickguard - it’s tempting me to change from my white one.
  25. Gareth Hughes
    If it makes you feel better, at two gigs over the past fortnight I have spent a good ten minutes trying to eliminate this buzzing that just came out of nowhere, wasn’t there earlier, calling over soundguys to help, etc only to finally realise that, in leaning over to adjust pedals, I have knocked my pickup from parallel to single coil. Doh!!!!
