    Such a shame more city centre venue's don't get house backline and drum kit , played here a few years ago and it was rowdy but fun but the load in and parking was a total ballache

    Very cool , what material is the fingerboard and are the dots where they would be on a fretted bass?

    I've had a plain gut lenzner G on bass for years , if it sounds good I'd leave it

    I've sold vintage basses but only cos I'd fallen out of love with them , currently using an all original old p for all my gigs , even sh!tty bar gigs , I justified buying it by saying to myself I'd never leave it home cos it was too valuable, if it picks up another ding then so be it , don't fly with it mind you , fair play to the OP for selling up cos of the burden , I get that but what I don't get is never gigging them but keeping valuable instruments

    I've got a "lott" Bryant, bought it off Paul , also maintained by Laurence Dixon It has a big rich plummy refined tone , fantastic bass and they're basically half the price of other hand made English basses

    Ahhh of course, the beck guy's signature Mustang as opposed to the standard Mustang , all makes sense now! Thanks mate

    I know MIJ is made in Japan, I assume CIJ is crafted in Japan, does this refer to a specific period of Japanese fenders? What's JMJ?

    I really rate sire V7s for the money and way more versatile than a stingray , I'm not really a stingray guy but based on some of the comments on here maybe it's worth upgrading the pre amp in the sterling to get closer to the musicman tone ?

    Killer basses , absolute bargain

    I can see that the fender rumble is all wrong for you, how about a gallien Krueger rb700 head , great for sparkly high end , into a vanderkley cab maybe , very expensive but super accurate and open sounding

    I had it on done on a p bass and it transformed it , think changing the break angle over the saddles made it way more resonant

    I don't know where that seller would of got that info from, there's a lot of conflicting information online for these basses and I can see an older advert also stating 65-68 but all the legit historys I've seen of Kay instruments don't back this up,the Teisco era kays do have serial numbers but I don't think they can be dated from them as they didn't keep records , a 1965 Kay would be a US made speed bump pickup bass and be worth closer to a grand , your bass is a Taiwanese made Teisco bass , I'm not trying to start an argument or rubbish your bass , looks great and a good price I've got a 1938 Kay upright and a few 60s US Kay bass guitars and have geeked out on Kays for a while but if anyone had one back in the day or has any more info I'm happy to be proved wrong on this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kay_Musical_Instrument_Company#:~:text=Early history (1890–1931),-Products by Stromberg&text=The Kay Musical Instrument Company,and renamed to Stromberg-Voisinet. https://wesleyguitars.co.uk/2014/03/31/kay-k-20b-bass-guitar-short-scale-rickenbacker-4001-1970s-teisco/

    I've got one of these , really fun , pretty sure it's from the 70s though, think Kay's were made in America til the late 60s then they went bust and the name was sold to a distributor and in the early 70s they started putting the name on Asian made basses like this one

    Surprised epiphone are going for a pantera sig! TBF I don't know if rex is still in the band? Great band though, huge groove for a metal band IMO I don't wear my t shirts anymore though https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jan/26/pantera-shows-cancelled-after-frontmans-nazi-salute-prompts-fan-backlash

    Excuse my ignorance but is the profiling thing on bass about going ampless? I get it if it's IEMs and I get it for guitar but a lot of gigs the bass is a DI going foh in front of the amp , sometimes a mic' d or a DI from the amp but IME often not even on big stages with an SVT So would a bassist with a kemper give the engineer an out and get it back in the wedge and the kemper signal go FOH ?

    Looks like he uses a Fodera PJ with Aguilar pups

    Great amp , had one for a bit , suppose it's heavy and bulky by today's standards though

    I agree with the OP to an extent and don't get involved however over on talkbass I see loads of people getting really arsey about someone asking a question when there may already be a thread about it and the tone is often harsh and a bit nasty , I love that on here people will always point a newbie in the right direction

    I often fly with a bass for gigs and it's never been checked or cross referenced with what I had when I flew out , can't see why you can't just come back with one ??
  24. spencer.b
    Nice one , just ordered it
