Maybe get a looper pedal to have something to play off?

That looks and sounds great. Have you got a link? Nice one!

Yes of course 👍

Yeah he was a trailblazer in the 90s, making music like a laptop creator years before those technological possibilities were realised. Plus he could write folk songs like an old man 🤯

Just woke up but at first glance: New looking neck with block inlays and a '64 or earlier decal = nope. 60s tuners? Nope. Original era pickguard? Nope. The body looks nice but wary of it all now to be honest.

Set of Dimarzio Model Js, both individually wired in series like P bass pups. Done.

My favourite is the Mutations album - the album between albums (odelay - MNV) that his record company let him release as not the official follow-up to Odelay because it wasn't commercial enough but he was writing so much stuff. Here's some Diamond Boll**ks for your shell-like...

Poor Rog. He should've quit before he got old.

Such sad news... Sam was a lovely person and valued member of our community. I had many a good chat with her around the time of her flat fire. RIP Sam, you will be missed x

I enjoyed that. She's obviously very nice and happy and having fun with her lot. Imagine being in a position where when you get GAS, the Fender custom shop just make it for you and send a pair over? She's living the life and good luck to her I say.

Way below your budget and very nice basses (I have the fretless version). Ergonomic with a lovely neck profile: https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_b_550_black_progressive_series.htm

No, it has it's own "Fender designed" alnico pickup which is the smaller than Japanese vintage size (40mm across each side rather than 44mm). It sounds great as long as I dial the tone pot back about 60%. That's where 'that tone' lives. I find it a bit too harsh sounding wide open, but maybe that's just me. Congrats on your Performer! Mustangs are great aren't they? I wish I'd tried one earlier, such fun to play. I love the strong fundamental and lack of overtones. Suits me just fine.

Really pleased with this new (to me) family member. I swapped my Jet P locally for it. I installed Gotoh Resolite GB528 tuners to get rid of the nasty neck dive, and a set of Labella MUS flats. The laurel fingerboard came up nice with some boiled linseed oil and I've set it up to my preferences (after sorting one high fret). It looks small but sounds big! Such a breeze to play too. Every note rings true. I expected the pickup to be the letdown from what I've read but it sounds great as is. Also, it works better with my pedals than the Jet (not that the Jet was bad or anything). I'm a happy Chatter.

I'm out, but at least I made it far past January this year! I swapped my Jet P bass for a CV Mustang bass. I'm happy and at least I didn't spend any money! Loving my new tubby little funk stick 👌

Loving this album 😙👌

More 32" medium scale bass options would be nice.

I'd like Fender Ps and Js to come with roasted bodies and necks. My inexpensive Jet P, which has both, resonates very similarly acoustically as the old '65 P I used to have, thanks to the zero moisture content I believe. It would be nice to be able to buy a new one finished in nitro that responds like a super dried out solid old one.

Thanks for that Tony, solid gold vid. I've never been down the Flabba rabbit hole. A new seam to mine. Cheers for the signpost 👊 King Tubby has been my Saturday...
