[quote name='great harry' timestamp='1384241508' post='2274252'] Yamaha Pacifica 112 is smaller bodied than a strat and lighter too [/quote] Thanks, I just watched the demo video on the Yamaha site: tasty!

[quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1383838294' post='2269828'] apply the ruling to the key F# , and you have an E# in the scale [/quote] Why the sad face, it makes perfect sense! At the risk of frying the brain of the OP further, we could get into double-flats and double-sharps, and how - outside the equal temperament system - G sharp and a flat aren't the same note...

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1383811742' post='2269291'] if you don't add in slidey-ness, a fretless bass sounds just like ..... errrr ..... a bass [/quote] Quite. And if you get one with sufficiently bold lines, it looks like one too

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1383563129' post='2265786'] There's some good pictures on Sweetwater's page [url="http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PBass63RFSBL"]http://www.sweetwate...il/PBass63RFSBL[/url] [/quote] Very nice. I particularly like the deep cream dot markers. If one must have markers, make them tasty!

Mm, I have the Squier CV version of that, and very nice it is too. It's also on my really-need-to-thin-out-the-surplus-to-requirements-basses list...

Hm, I'm impressed with the CV and was just thinking the VM P5 might be my "give five a go" bass.

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1383237003' post='2261989'] For pickups front = neck back = bridge [/quote] Thanks, that what I suspected: I guess it's suitable if one holds the bass Phil-Lynott-machine-gun style

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1383126563' post='2260401'] Yeah, you could get a pencil into that neck pocket gap. That means it's probably a genuine late 70s Fender... [/quote] This. It's the big sister of my Antigua Strat! (But without the cigarette burn on the scratchplate.)
