    [quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1474615842' post='3139186'] I bought the fretted version for the same price and it is a cracking bass. We both got massive bargains with these. [/quote] Nice one 👍. Interesting that some have found Harley Bentons to be heavy - my Prog 5 fretless weighs 8lbs dead. I also have a HB shorty P that only weighs 6 3/4lbs! That was a bit pricier though and cost a princely £70 delivered 😁

    I had a Fender American jazz with a maple fingerboard (posiflex graphite rods) which I played for a decade so I knew it well. I then put a MIJ 62 Precision neck on it. Sounded like a different bass both acoustically and amped up. I voted 100% yes obvs.

    Harley Benton HB550fl deko - £46 all in delivered. I just added a set of D'addario tapewounds and it's bloody brilliant! Some people have thought it's a 'boutique' bass and think I'm taking the pi$$ when I tell them how much it cost.

    It's mind blowing what he (and the rest of the band) achieved so young. They were still pretty much kids playing way beyond their years weren't they?

    I heard Baggy Trousers for the first time in ages yesterday and was blown away by the tone of Bedders' P bass. Even better than I remember. Anyone know what strings he was using back then? Can't find much about his gear on't'web.

    [quote name='tredders' timestamp='1473880066' post='3133868'] I resisted the temptation to add Mustang Sally... Added a few of my faves, including Millionaire Waltz by Queen, which used to be my preferred warm up. Can't for the life of me play it now, though. Clearly the version on Spotify isn't at the original tempo. Ahem. [/quote] Barbarism Begins At Home.... Great choice!

    I played TJ's once. We were supporting a reggae/rap band from London whose name escapes me now. The PA was bass heavy anyway that night and I will never forget the panic on the faces of the sound guys as they desperately tried to find the right slider when I stepped on my Sansamp for "extra dub" during our one reggae tune. I feel like I may have added to TJ's structural damage that night! Amazing what you can do with a little pedal and a 9v battery these days. 🙉

    Out of the two you mention in particular, the answer is the new American Standard. They are very very good quality P basses right now. You know that you love P basses. If you try one and it feels really good to you then resale value probably won't come into it. It's hardly going to be a leap into the unknown.

    Dave bought a nice set of Sadowsky flats off me and was super cool on the PMs as I couldn't post right away. He was very patient, a great chap to deal with. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again, either buying or selling. Many thanks Dave.

    DR Hi-beam short scale 45-105 would suit you I reckon. Round core, so flexible and easy to play. Decent gauge for a sensible action, great string to string balance also. Best thing is they sound bloody fabulous! (short scale P bass user here) http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/dr-handmade-hi-beam-stainless-steel-bass-45-105-short-scale-p1208

    Anvil! is definitely worth a watch. It's genuinely heartwarming. Although I'm not into metal I loved it.

    Wow this is brilliant!! I've added Fine Flow by The Entrance Band. Paz Lenchantin on bass. Can't wait to wade through the whole playlist. Plenty there I've never heard of before.

    Sadowsky flats gone!
  19. miles'tone
    Brand new set of Sadowsky Black Label Flats, 5 string set 100-80-60-40 with 125 and 130 B strings included. Brand new, uncut, unused. Bought two months ago. They are made by Labella for Sadowsky and tonewise land between D'addario Chromes and Deep Talkin' Labellas. Top quality flats. I recently withdrew these as I wanted to try them sometime but I'm skint so needs must. £25 posted. SOLD. Picato flats, 4 string set 100-45 used but only for a week max at home. Proper old school thumpers these even brand new. If I was playing in a band at present I would keep them as I can tell they would be a cracking live string. Cut for a P bass. £10 posted.

    Mike bought a fretless P neck from me and was a great chap to deal with throughout. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again, a pleasure. Many thanks Mike!

    For me, punch is where clarity and fundamental meet with the added short decay of the notes.
