A lot of people have it in their heads that Fenders are better than Squier - fair enough. Are they ten times better if the price is ten times more? No! When I started playing the build quality of Fenders was abysmal which set my mind to thinking that people are buying Fenders because that's whats on the headstock. This has stayed with me for my whole playing "career" - I've owned a LOT of basses but only about 3 Fenders. What you get from a Squier is a good, well put together bass with good tone. What you don't get with a Fender is a 10x better bass, 10x better put together or 10x better tone. For your money, the Squier is the better bass.

I bought (what supposed to be) an Acoustic 406 cab from eBay - I thought it was a bit of a steal - collected it earlier to find it was actually half a 406 (2x15) with only one speaker and chopped in half. I'm on the fence about being disappointed as I don't really have the room for a huge 2x15 cab at home and would need a monster head to drive the 600w cab at 2ohms. I do know that what I did get works properly as the seller had set it up in his man cave to try. I believe that there can't be that many Acoustic 406 cabs which have been doctored in this was - wondering if anybody knows any more about it. I bought it in Essex.

Nice basses but the headstock is too long IMO. Dehead it!!

Sorry @Owen...I couldn't resist.

Elementary error is a bit more complicated than first expected so a new Aguilar OB2 Pre going in. Hoping to get it back midweek.

Is it because of the use of Fenders (doesn't really work in the UK as we call them mudguards or wings but our USA cousins might get it)

So where have all these vintage basses gone? I would hazard that very few have been destroyed - 90% are still out there somewhere - like old golf clubs sitting in the back of a cupboard, the loft or garage. Not ideal locations but it isn't as if they've fallen off the planet. The rarity aspect doesn't cut it with me - they'll turn up at some point with a seller who has great expectations for an instrument that hasn't been looked after for many years.

IIRC doesn't the M2000 have a jazz neck opposed to the P neck?
