I’m sure I read that alcohol has the same affect as said caffeine.

Great song, great band

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, she’s a little beauty. XX

It sounds to me that you’ve totally lost the plot Andy, we’ll find out when your Dad puts his dinner on the table and it hits the floor where you’ve jigsawed a guitar body out of it.

I’m kinda set on a maple neck and they don’t do the lefty P bass in white with maple sadly.

How does the Pau Fero board look in real life?

I went for the white as I prefer rosewood boards, yea it looks lovely, maybe a little lighter than rosewood.

Thanks for the replies people, 

yea I will keep it like most have said, I’m sure Fender would replace it but I’ll try for a discount or set of strings or something...  if I ever hear anything back.

Looks like a Mex Standard judging by the fretboard. I don't think there'd be a difference if it was replaced by an entirely new bass. However, if the bass plays really and to your liking and the paint run doesn't affect how it plays or easily noticed, just play on? 

 

I can understand you'd be concerned for the price of Fenders these days and wanting what you pay for but i personally wouldn't worry too much for this model range. If it was something more (and obviously you've spent out a lot more) then I'd obviously get them to sort it out. 

From my experience, 10 years working in guitar shops, white guitars aren't ever straight forward from any manufacturer or factory. 

Thanks for reply, tbh it doesn’t bother me much, I was more annoyed that I’d bought a brand new bass with a paint run in it, not mega expensive but for £650 ish I never expected a paint run to be thrown in free of charge

Very happy with my white Player Kev, apart from a run in the paint finish so check it over thoroughly

I purchased a lefty  player series P a month ago and have just noticed a run in the paintwork between the top strap button and the neck, I spoke to a guy from gak (where I purchased it), he asked for a photo and said he’d contact fender, obviously they’ll replace it but this thing plays/sounds fantastic and I’m worried about it being replaced by a pig.

i don’t want to be sending basses back then waiting for the replacement etc and it turning into a saga.

thanks in advance chaps.

photo attached (hopefully)

What would be the reason for moving the nut?

A Columbus P bass copy bought about 1980 for £125, I think, from Allan Billingtons in Welling, still have it stashed in the loft somewhere,

I was doing my best to resist and look what happened.

Good luck finding a MIJ lefty mate

I got this one, free next day delivery, I can’t find any fault with it

Sod the gigs mate, spend the time with the little cracker.

i came back from a 3 week tour of Japan when my daughter was a year old, I picked her up and she screamed and cried, not nice.

There used to be a great Rush tribute band based in South Yorkshire, called "Bravado".

 

Blimey that is the Gedster innit?

Fantastic amps, most gigs you wouldn’t need an extra cab

This is a good one Mojo.

Ah. Punks that can actually play. Thanks for that.

Punks that can actually play??? How very dare you sir!!!

We've all experienced this, pubs with noise meters. What do owners think when they hire a rock, pop or blues band.

If they have issues with volume, hire an acoustic jazz trio.

Spot on sir

As simple as that for a simpleton like me, cheers Ped

Hi..

if im reading a long thread and I go back to it later is it possible to return to where I was before rather than it taking me right to the beginning again and then trying to find which page I was on? If that makes sense?

thanks in advance.

I get your point. They're cheap, good value, but there's billions of them about and in twenty years will my daughter want that handing in to her or a Fender? As soon as I saw the tidepool P with maple board I was immediately planning to get one and stick a j pickup in... Probably more costly that a Sire PJ 5 string but there's something about Fenders that draws you in (I've already got three fenders, two basses and a an electro acoustic guitar). 

The last thing I need is another bass but as soon as I saw these I wanted one, I can’t find any reviews as yet, where did you hear about “Dire QC”? 

You can order one after paying a 10% deposit which is returnable, so if you decide it’s not for you it’s not cost you anything.

It's about time, really. Stuff competition though from the likes of Sire who'll give you a nicer looking neck (not headstock), five strings and and active electronics. Unfortunately have read that the QC on this new Mexican range is dire.

A Sire?? Ooh no thanks squire
