  1. On the flip side I was playing my Lakland 55-94 for quite a while before I realised it was 35”. hand stretch Was less than for a 34” Warwick thumb!
  2. Me three. Though I’ve never tried to do play like Mark king
  3. I’ve played it - it is very nice
  4. Btw that was a genuine question- I wasn’t picking at something you said!
  5. Is 34” or 35” “standard” for 5 strings?
  6. I wonder what would happen if Jason was asked his full name and address so that Prowla could update the police and his legal team on developments, just in case they wish to talk to him ....
  7. I've been thinking about 5 strings today. They are nice. I could live without I think.
  8. I think a divorce settlement meant they each kept a half?
  9. I may be wrong but I think it's fairly common to see pro players on here who play in the very modern genres of shows and theatre to use a 5 string. EDIT: sorry, @Doddy has already said similar
  10. The Basswitch is a preamp
  11. I’ve got some really really close friends but I’m not sure I’ve ever Sat in a pub with them and shared proof of purchase Receipts with them, and even if they had I’m not sure I would have memorised all the names and addresses. even less likely to look through a mates receipt at the moment cos the pubs are shut...
  12. Out of interest - how certain are ppl that the fraudster in Leicester newspaper and the Facebook guy are the same person? it just struck me that if I was going to defraud people then posing using a convicted fraudster as my disguise wouldn’t be the most stupid way to do it.
  13. If you looked into that trial are you likely to find the name of the police officer who will be most interested in getting the guy?
  14. Is your fave one a 60's original worth big bucks or something?
  15. It was the most unprecedented thing to happen in 2020
  16. out of interest - did it make a big difference to the amount of stuff the mods had to get involved in?
  17. I got some Edifier H850 last year for Christmas - turned up broken in the same place yours were. Ebay seller refunded and didn't want them back. I ended up fixing with A LOT of electrical tape and they sound ok. Ended up getting some secondhand AKG K-240-DF which I really like but are 600 ohms so had to buy a wee mixing desk to power them!
  18. Oh - I hope not - I’ve seen him advertising a fair bit of stuff on Facebook did you get tracking info off him?
  19. it's been a while but I feel the need to say something so that Kev can move on a bit... it's a lovely bass.... here's one of my photos of it from a few years back. To my eye the colour of the wood is a wee bit more accurate than the photos on the mustard carpet
  20. from memory of reading it was only the first batch of Strats. If you are making something overseas for the first time and need a proof of concept then getting your most popular model with US pups so you can compare construction like for like isn't an awful idea
  21. Oddly I preferred it with a different pickup in it. If I had known what I know now, and had the finances I enjoy now rather than when I sold it, I would have kept it and put a different pickup in it. But oh well
  22. £220 - £1500 is 680% rise An original 1962 Jazz would be more than £5,500 I think...
  23. its a good wee shop too (if it's the one next to Mono)
  24. Here’s a good example of why JVs are well regarded too - mythology as far as I know it was only the first batch of strays that got US pickups. All the rest were Japanese. Which isn’t a problem in my book, but you can see loads of domestic late serial number JV guitars sold claiming to have US hardwear and pickups. with mythologising it’s also got “JV” being known with the division between domestic and export models being blurred. that said JV squiers are great instruments. The early Fender logo Squier series ones are genuine collectors items as there were so few made- so the scarcity has driven the price of them up a load- and then if a fender logo Squier series one is selling at £1k, why would a Squier logo One made the next week be worth £300 still? also the context of fender prices has gone up massively across the board recently. If a Late 70s P bass is selling for £2k and early 70s for £3k and CBS era 60s refinished For £3.5-4.5k ... why shouldn’t a great Fender bass from the 1982-3 made in Japan make £1k?
  25. no - turns out I was thinking of the guitars which were made in Japan, and the Musicmaster in China http://www.squierwiki.com/Vista-Series
