A cracking read, excellent pics and every bass a winner.

I've got a 2 x 10" HF that I would like to swop for a 15". I know it's not what you've asked for, but let me know if you want to consider it.


All the best Gary

Get more than you think you need. You've always got a bit in reserve then.

A 100 watt combo will always have to work hard in a pub gig setting (assuming you are playing rock with a drummer) it just sounds horrid if you need it working flat out. I would go for 300 watts as a minimum, ideally with the option of adding an extension cab.

No problem, all the best

I have aches and pains before even starting to play, had to dose up with super strong co-proxamols pre gig on saturday and a top up at half time.




There were a number of articles on this sort of subject in recent issues of BGM. Posture and exercises etc.

They are the standard HF @ 8 ohms.

Cheers

I've currently got two of the 2"x10"'s and would like to swop one of them for a 15", just thought I would ask if you would consider it?

I know you would prefer a sale, but just let me know.


Thanks all the best,


Gary

I've got a comfort strap (not for sale), but if you want to come around with your bass, to give it a try, let me know.

Blimey Pete that is a real bargain, shouldn't be on here for long, controversy or not.

I was about to ask the same question

Played an open air party last night.

First set was brilliant, second set not so brilliant, mostly due to one of the guitards playing just about every intro in a toe curlingly awful fashion. A few real Les Dawson moments.


I've never played with gloves on before. They were thermal fingerless mittens, my wife reckons I looked like steptoe.

So sorry Mr fudge.

It sucks.



Five years now since my dad died. I still cry and I still have days where I go to pick up the phone to get his advice........



just made myself cry again. Thankfully sitting here on my own today.

All the best mate

If my good wife moans at me about the number of basses knocking about here, I'm just going to point her at this thread.





She will realise just how lucky she is.

i so wish I wasn't potless.

Good luck with the sale

More bmloody misery.


Took my wifes car for it's MOT.


It's going to be over five hundred quid to sort it.


Gas deffo on hold, may be forced to sell some of my basses now.





My daughter was unfortunate to be on the same stretch of road as a pair of pikeys yesterday. They crashed in to her, laughed and drove off. She got the number plate and contacted the police, guess what? Number not traceable.

I'm LIVID.




We are not having a good year.

A couple of days back in the bassists wanted/available section there was a request for a bass player in the Devon area. Why not check it out.

Well done Si, that didn't hang about.

Still love this one, best of luck with the sale

Thanks Pork Pie.

Yes like I said it's all on hold now.


Luck not good at the mo, but such is life.



On the plus side, at least it's sunny here today and I've been able to do a bit in the garden. Always helps blow the cobwebs away and clear the glum head.

Hi matey.

It's a USA precision deluxe, purchased new from the Bass Centre when they were in Wapping.


It was a strange purchase for me at the time, as I just didn't want a Fender. I had actually purchased an Alembic from them, after gassing for one for years. Got it home and fairly quickly realised it wasn't for me. Kept it for a few weeks and got all depressed about it, thinking I had wasted a whole load of dosh. Anyway explained my predicament to the chaps at BC and they kindly offered to take it back. Saw the the Fender and fell in love

It is an awesome bass, gigged with it last weekend and it sounded huge.

The only thing I'm not too sure about is the pickguard, a bit too Shadows maybe.

Nice review.

I hate the saddle screw issue on some basses, being mostly a pick player I've had a few incidents. Mind you it looks so rock and roll with blood dripping from the palm onto the bass.







Best bit of the review?





You can spell Squier ^_^

That looks damn fine.

If it's a keeper are you planning any upgrades?

UPDATE

Fender GAS on hold due to a run of expensive bad luck:

Had to have half the lounge floor pulled up to fix a central heating problem. Now waiting for a two day plumbing bill.

My trusty old car has died.

Had to order a new front door today.

Wife loses her job in two weeks time.






Spose it could be worse.

Welcome, hope you enjoy.

Excellent news, chuffed for you.
