Years ago (1996 to be exact) I bought a maroon-ish coloured brand new MIK Squier as a backup to my 76 P bass. It never really got played much and was sold on when I quit and sold all my gear around 2000. Fast foreward to this week, and this comes up on ebay - same year/model/colour. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Squier-P-Bass-Korean/254711420265?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648 Arrived today - oh god was it dirty - gunky fretboard, dirty body and neck, collapsed pickups, crackly pots. Upside is the neck is fine aside from a lot of grime and dings, Truss rod works great. Basic clean up done and stage 1 of upgrades (Gotoh 201B, SD Quarter Pounders, Sprague/switchcraft/CTS loom). Gold mirrored pickguard due and more cleaning.

Has anyone played in a band with a sibling?
Nibody replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
I could see the attraction - she was somewhere between Clara Osborne from Dr Who and Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's (and by christ she could sing) But I was there to write music not play "Fleetwood Mac style hide the sausage".. LOL. He never got his wicked way either way. -

No. But I was in a band where the guitarist had the hots for the singer, then wanted to fire her when she brushed him off. So I ended up firing him for a few reasons.. and she left because I had fired him (not knowing he was actively trying to get her fired...) -
He's just Testing us...

Report them as a non-performing seller.

He may end up wishing he'd put a reserve price on this.

The case is identical to what was (before knowledge and the internet) sold to me as a refinished 76 P Bass. In some wys it looks right, but in others (in the words of Han Solo) "I have a bad feeling about this" -

Thats a VERY clean neck for a 75. VERY. Just saying. -
My newest one - LWA1000 with 2 matching 4x8 Celestion loaded cabs. Lightest (and loudest) rig I've owned.

The Washburn XS-5 I owned was the same but J J. Always thought it wierd as my XS-4 (the 4 string variant) has normally positioned P/J's

Where in East Mids are you? I have a variety of bits (pickups, bridges, bodies, couple of necks) that I should really get rid off

with enough petrol and a couple of nicely aimed matches I'm sure it will catch on just fine....

His stuff ceased to be funny about two years ago - I can admire his skills - though it's true I dont like slap, I think it has its place but is not the measuring stick by which everyone who picks up a bass should be measured. When tastefully done its great but overbearing 200bpm slap bass widdling to me is on the same levell of annoyance as the multitude of guitarists that used to live in music shops franticaly hammering on and pulling off in an attempt to impress any and all within 50ft. It gets a bit old when bass demo's consist solely of someone showing off slapping the damn thing - people play with fingers, plectrums... I couldn't give a monkeys what it sounds like when you hit it with your thumb. Davie lost me when it stopped being about his playing and turned into him trying to be PewdiePie and a host of other vaccuous YouTube "stars". The jokes were amusing at first, not so much anymore.

In a world with Davie504 I think Scott Devine is quite palatable..

only on the German made ones I believe. I think the Rockbass series are fantastic but the truss rod is horrible - I fixed one of mine by fitting an aftermarket two way truss rod. The anchor point at the neck end on the original Warwick one was just too small - pushing a small piece of brass on five string too much pressure on too little surface area of wood. I( don't know if with the updated Rockbass line they changed the truss rod - I hope they did.
