We have a gig in a social club, new venue for us in Hatfield, Herts. 60+ numbers, so it will definitely be one of my lighter basses for that one. Dingwall or maybe one of the vintage Fenders

Dood, a lovely pair indeed

Handsome.

Enjoyed that, good work.

Always fancied trying one of these but yet to encounter one in the flesh

Good luck, I was thinking it might have been the parts of Essex nearer to Herts, in which case I could have got along.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1448379817' post='2914921'] I just missed seeing bands like Sabbath, Led Zep and Deep Purple in the period 1970-73, which I reckon was about the best time for any of those. [/quote] I saw all of your three in that period. Sabbath and Led Zepp at the Ally Pally and Purple at the Rainbow.

Looking good. Where is the first gig then?

No worries, will do.

I'm not qualified to dish out advice about depression but in terms of your uncertainty with instruments, it doesn't have to be one or the other. Play whichever one makes you happy at the time. Some days I don't much fancy the Bass, not often but now and then, on those occasions I'll play my Mandolin or Acoustic Guitar.

Cracking selection of P's there Police Squad.

Enjoy the site, good to meet you

I've no experience of the other Jazzes that you mention, just wanted to say that although Fender gets a fair bit of bashing about QC and many forum users go on about terrible Fenders, I would say that there are still many, many better ones than there are bad. I know it could happen but I've yet to have a bad one, yes some have been much better than others but even the ones that weren't quite so good, were actually very playable once set up properly. There is a fair bit of nonsense spouted, often based upon trying out a P or J that has languished in a shop, with dead strings and in need of a set up.
