Gus and Fender?

Names plastered all over the pickup covers looks tacky though.

I would have a cheeky beer after the gig - what are they gonna do, throw you off? Obviously don't get wasted and start touching up the captain's wife. Talk to the others on board first to gauge the situation to work out whether or not the rules are there to be bent! I worked behind a bar once many years ago and my contract said something similar, but my boss always let me have a free pint at the end of a long shift.

For me, the 5-string P's look too wide at the nut (why I opted for a Yamaha BB over a Fender P5) - so interested to read the specs when they show up on the Squier website. The 5 string PJ Jag could be a winner if the neck is a bit slimmer. No GAS for the fretless P here as I hate the ebanol boards - much prefer the feel of real wood!

Anodized gold (50s classic) is my fave with sunburst:

You can set up the Sonuus Wahoo to apply a pitch tracking filter sweep, although I'm not sure that would sound anything like the sound you are describing!

+1 on the Protection Racket case, mine cost £50 and combines the convenience of a gig bag with the protection of a hard case.

The thread title sounds like a Daft Punk tribute! Don't know if's been used, but I thought Followed Zeppelin would be a good one.

In fact there's even more - all new colours and a 5-string Jag! http://www.keymusic.com/en/newproducts/Bass

Just spotted these! http://www.keymusic.com/en/product/Squier-Vintage-Modified-Precision-Bass-V-Olympic-White http://www.keymusic.com/en/product/Squier-Vintage-Modified-Precision-Bass-Fretless-3CS http://www.keymusic.com/en/product/Squier-Vintage-Modified-Precision-Bass-PJ-Candy-Apple-Red Shame they don't offer rosewood boards on the P5's though.

Stomp Under Foot also make excellent green and civil war clones.

I have 2 SVT210AV's and am a big fan of them - they don't have really deep lows however due to their sealed design, but that also stops them being too boomy on stage. Bear in mind that if you wanted to hook up four of them that would run at either a 8 or 2 ohm load in total, where most non tube amps dish out their highest power with a 4-ohm load and not many can handle 2 ohms.

Are they the same jumpers used in hard drives and PC motherboards? If so try a local computer shop, they cost pennies and will probably give you one for nowt. Also, if you have an old PC lying around, try taking the jumper out of the hard drive and it will probably still work fine depending on the setup - you won't do any damage trying as long as you do it when powered off!

Good luck with that! It would involve taking the switch from there, and either putting a smaller one in so you have some room to solder in some crossed over extension wires, or relocating the switch elsewhere. I would try and attach some sort of fabricated guard as already suggested. Or trade it in for the deluxe version, which also fixes the problem with the volume boost in dry mode (which you can fix with a mod to yours also).

Bassgear have a 2025X going for £1299 - if I liked sunburst I'd be all over it! [url="http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/5-string-bass-guitars-po/yamaha-bb2025-xvs-vintage-sunburst/"]http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/5-string-bass-guitars-po/yamaha-bb2025-xvs-vintage-sunburst/[/url]

Similar pickup config to the Ibanez ATK. Still, very cheap for a Fender, are these MIM?

I've had a pedaltrain for years, always changing it about and never had to replace the velcro! I think it'll last a lot longer than you think. And sooner or later you'll want a pedal that isn't a Boss pedal, so I'd make the switch now!

I quite like this! http://r.ebay.com/JCH3tX

I think the 500K pots in the VM series do make a difference. I sold a VMP to buy a USA P and was quite disappointed in the sound at first due to the more subdued highs - until I strung it with flats and kept it like that ever since!

Yup - for instance on my Yamaha BB, the nut feels really close, but on a Peavey T40 or TBird it feels at least an inch further away. So it should be possible if you look at opposite ends of the spectrum to get a 35" bass that feels no longer than some 34" basses!

I like the look of the 5-string Jazz with narrow 42mm nut width: [url="http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/ajb-v.html"]http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/ajb-v.html[/url]
