[quote name='squibs' timestamp='1362149673' post='1996491'] I like the above explanation. As with many things bass/guitar related, it leads me to question two things: 1) how much do I notice the difference, 2) how much do I care if I don't notice the difference. [/quote] This.

Phew!

Good one Fat Rich. Always get a bit peckish half way thro' the gig.

[quote name='ChickenKiev' timestamp='1361953768' post='1993421'] Is there anything I could do to counterbalance the muddiness of t'birds? [/quote] Yes; leave it in the store and get a Tokai one.

[quote name='Fozza' timestamp='1361958279' post='1993506'] No John Deacon either from what I could see. [/quote] But it's not real, is it? It's only a list of a certain number of participants' favourites, it's not a technical analyisis. I mean.... Jah Wobble above Berry Oakley...????? Oh, please.... I don't pay the remotest heed to these pathetic things. As far as I'm concerned I'm the best bass player ever, but for some crazy reason I don't make the list.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1361922224' post='1993263'] ..... but to throw in a curveball, there`s a Tokai Thunderbird for sale on here, and these get very good write-ups. [/quote] ....and the Tokai pick-ups are far and away better than the Epi ones.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1361872210' post='1992072'] Design by committee usually only ever makes progress on the basis of consensus. On Basschat that means you could be here for years. [/quote] I was thinking more on the lines of 'decades'.

[quote name='jjay69' timestamp='1361441826' post='1985907'] Lets be honest if he is on here the chances of hi owning up now are diminishing by the post. [/quote] This.

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1361461339' post='1986044'] I just picked up a lovely Lakland Bob Glaub for £500 [/quote] Bargain.

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1361121998' post='1981373'] As for the original pickups being USA, that's correct as Japanese fenders use US parts (ie pickups, bodies, scratchplates, hardware etc). [/quote] They only use the pick-ups, these days - and only on JB75's and those models designated **** - US, They only ever used USA scratchplates and bodies on the very earliest JV's. Hardware is manufactured by Gotoh in Japan.

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1361003336' post='1979552'] Interesting idea for a programme.... [/quote] Aye, and in December they'll be doing the fiftieth anniversary of "With The Beatles", and next year they're doing "Hard Days Night" and "Beatles For Sale", then in 2015 they're doing..... ....some real original thinking.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1361034809' post='1980154'] Strange that Ted, a 12-hole pickguard, Fenders usually being 10 or 13. [/quote] It's what the Japs do with the (unprototypical) single ply plastic plate they put on their '57 re-ish. An odd bunch, those chaps.

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1360859159' post='1977554'] Is it faulty ? Should I demand my money back ? [/quote] Yer, you bin robbed innit.
