Strings direct are good. I actually found it cheaper to buy DR strings directly from the US from a store called bassspecialities on EBay. I last bought one set in December, no duty, about £27 including UPS I think. I once ordered 2 sets and got hit for duty and courier service charge, possibly over the limit ?.

It’s a great album, bought the vinyl album when it came out quite a few tracks also feature on Phil Manzanera’s album Phil Manzanera The Manzanera Collection;which is also great

I’ve had one of these on loan from a mate of mine for awhile now VM Squier. I’m not sure he’s getting it back anytime soon. Love it! Recorded this remotely with some old band mates on it: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/yeHHVyv3jDSPKFjC8

I recently ordered a replacement loom for my Mexican FSR P bass. Really speedy and helpful communications and a quick delivery. All looks very neat; a top quality hand-wired product. Having seen the comments and John’s feedback on here for years I was not disappointed. Dead easy to fit and the bass sounds great. I can’t put my finger on why it does, but it just sounds ‘bigger’! It certainly has more top end bite with the tone control up, and nice smooth controls. Thanks John

That’s really nice. Love the baked neck. What make is the body?

Thats really lovely

I’ve recently bought a UMC22 and I’m at my wits end trying to get it to work with Presonus Stufio one prime on my MacBook Pro running 10.14.6. it’s fine with GarageBand but despite trying all sorts of settings in system preferences, stufio one preferences and audio midi setup nada. Behringer support shobfar useless and tumbleweed from Presonus having sent them a system profile file. any ideas?

Thanks mate and thank you for all the other advice on here. I’ll let you know how it goes

Thanks Ray I contacted the buyer to make him aware that the postage would be higher, around £11:00. (Royal Mail tracked and signed for). He replied that was fine. I’ve registered with eBay global so will probably use that.

I quoted 4 quid thinking it’d be Uk but presume that I will have to get a quote and contact the buyer

Looks 100%

I have had a bid of 30 quid for an old M-audio interface which will sell at this price. ive only ever sold in the Uk before and a little wary as the buyer is in Portugal. I have set up ebay global seller. Any other tips or warnings?

Thanks I change mine twice a year, whether they need it or not!

Thanks that’s really helpful It has theBBOT type bridge, albeit slightly chunkier than the older ones.

I was thinking of upgrading the stock bridge on my new fsr p bass to either a fender brass high mass (27 quid seems a good deal) or a babicz or something similar. Any thoughts, is it worth it ?

I had a senior moment last night. I had a great rehearsal with my band in a village Hall about 40mins alway. Chatting and packing up I helped the drummer out with his kit, loaded the car and drove home. Took amp and gig bag out of my car, then opened the rear door to find a big space on the back-seat where my Prcision should have been. after several panicky phone calls a large scotch, and a very sleepless night, I went back collected the key and picked it up from the table that I’d left it on today.
