wow - I guess everyone with 1969 fenders will be sticking the price up now!

i see you're input and raise you.... https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/181108334549003--fender-custom-shop-post-modern-p-bass-black-burst-spalted-maple

60's and 70's jazz are fairly different sounding to my ears. See if you can find someone who's done loads of pickup recordings. I downloaded a set from Talkbass about 10-15 years ago of P bass pickups recorded in the same bass - it's really interesting and I can crank them through headphones/stereo/bass rig to hear a rough guesstimate of the differences or at least the broad sound of them. Buy a nice set of something second-hand from here, and then if you're using a preamp or a wiring loom use a chocolate box connector or similar so you can swap pickups if you want without a soldering iron.

Ismael bought my G&L - he's a lovely guy, really patient, good communications and it was a joy to sell him a much loved bass. Thank you @imembrive - enjoy it!

They’ve done the HPJ metros for years haven’t they?

Regardless of ability, sounds like a decent person

I was intrigued what kind of person wants to practice 5 times a week. They might have been amazing, like that bass player from Oasis

yeah - you didn't crop out what I guess is him in the video. I can't unwatch that can I?

I wonder what he was actually expecting?

I love the point of a gig where you realise you're not thinking about the instrument at all, it's just doing exactly what you want with no fuss. Normally less knobs helps me get to this point, both in the band and on the bass

I have no idea about the pickups but I just stuck that preamp in a Lakland 55-94 - it is exceedingly good

that's one of the now discontinued Japanese made ones

John Entwhistle possibly would have debated that

East uni pre is amazing and just so good. Here’s one I fitted in one of my basses recently

and that's how the nickname Crazy big red knob kiwi came about

so the only thing that has changed is a few cans of paint?

unfortunately the old pics aren't there any more to compare!

OPEC for guitars!

12,345 euros..., I think it translates as he wants to trade for a bravewood p ... or maybe sell

Also: there's a bloody good reason why rehearsal studios don't tend to have open windows...

Drummer: "well what do you want to do about it?" OP: " well i've just been reading the government and WHO guidance and I don't think the shape of the windows matter" Drummer: "It might though. what do you want to do about it?"

what are you going to clip the receiver for your IEM too?!
