Here's my board Folks. It's a Diago lid off jobbie. The signal hits the tuner first, so that I can kill it to tune up/change basses etc, and then goes into the Lehle D.Loop pedal. I've got the Sadowsky pre & Boss Bass Chorus running through 1 loop for my clean sound and the other loop goes through the MXR D.I.+ for distortion. All works well when used in anger! Let me know what you think, Cheers, Jon. [attachment=12308:PedalBoard.jpg]

I know that man Mr.Mann!! Hey Phil you keeping well Mate? Cheers, Jon.

[quote name='chris_b' post='235784' date='Jul 9 2008, 03:18 PM']Hi Jon, It's been resprayed. In pic 7 you can see the paint filled screw holes by the bridge. In pic 6 the machine head screw slots look like they've been moved a few times and the G machine head post screw doesn't match with the D machine head post screw. The D bridge saddle screw isn't original. For an "original" bass there are too many questions. I wouldn't buy it.[/quote] Hi Chris, Just read what you and all the Guys here are saying and had another good look at the pic's... Am going to pass on this one! I don't think I could shell out without trying it anyway. Thanks & Cheers, Jon

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='235345' date='Jul 8 2008, 10:39 PM']The pickguard and case aren't original - the correct guard was probably black. Lord knows what's going on with the D screw on the bridge... it's a bit long! The tuners and serial number seem to be correct. As for value... £750 is high-to-reasonable if it's a great player. The BIN is the dictionary definition of 'optimism', IMO.[/quote] Nice one WoT. I knew the 'guard and case aren't original but thanks for eye-balling the rest of it for me. Jon

My £0.02 worth... I've used Behringer amps & cabs at my local rehearsal rooms for a couple of years now. The rooms are usually set up with a Behringer amp and 2 x 1x15 Behringer cabs. They get pummeled 12 hours a day/7 days a week and seem to be holding up OK and sound alright.

Hello Folks, What do you reckon to this - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1976-FENDER-PRECISION-BASS-USA-Original_W0QQitemZ300240159251QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item300240159251&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318"]'76 P on t'Bay[/url] I am VERY interested but don't know enough about 70's Fenders to know whether it would be a worthwhile buy... Wot d'ya reckon?! Thoughts please, Cheers, Jon.

Top stuff Alien, I'm well impressed with this project. Rock on!

I see Seymour Duncan do one as part of the Custom Shop range too, [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/custom-shop/specialized-1/single_coilstac/"]see this link[/url]

Hi All, First up aplogies if this has (undoubtably) been asked somewhere else before. I have seen Lollar do a split coil model that fits in the single coil space on the Fender '51 P basses but can you tell me who else makes such a beastie? Also anyone heard/own one - sounds? Cheers, Jon.

So, Another few pictures for you all to see... I am pleased it's looking so good. Can't wait to get my hands on it and play it through the big amp!!! Jon did say that some of the grain effect has been lost with the flash but assures me it is looking more pronounced.

Hi Jon, Where are you based please? Regards, Jon.

My personal fav metal bass sound is a NYC Sadowsky, a la Jason Newstead era Metallica.

Nice one SF! It's makes it look completely different. Rock and indeed Roll!!!
