Congratulations in advance regarding your impending fatherhood. I do not know of a 70's Precision being available but keep watching the classifieds and it might be worth putting your request in the wanted section os said classifieds. I hope everything goes well.

There is a Palmer pre-amp pedal in the classifieds (either in effects or accessories threads) that might suit your application.

Good to hear the ABM is working out.

That looks really nice and I'm not a jazz bass fan either.

I sold a Mono strap to Paddy, prompt payment and excellent communication. Thanks Paddy.

I live near Lichfield which is reasonably close to Walsall Mike.

When I first had abass many decades ago I was always told that the bass should be felt and not heard. I think there are times for the bass just to be there and when required be more prominent.

I would be happy to pick up from Thunderbird if you want to reduce your travelling distance Andy.

Andy, I'm in Lichfield about halfway between Manchester and Northampton if you are looking for a Basschat relay. Alan

Drop a note in the 'Items Wanted' section of the classifieds.

I think the wiring diagram I saw on the Laney website hinted at that Pete.

I think you are socket short Jack🤭

Sorry I am not able to help with any information but the best of luck to you in your quest Matthew and my best wishes for your dad.

I put my musical interest down to the humble recorder. Learnt in junior school picked up again in late senior school. Learnt fairly simple tunes but it gave me structure of trying to have a go at playing the same tunes on other instruments (as long as I could find the note of G).

My tinnitus is constant unless something I am doing takes my mind off it. I find it at it's worst first thing in a morning and in bed at night and especially so if my sinuses gets blocked (which is frequently). When being fitted for earing aids it was suggested that I had the open bud type so that external sounds get in rather than just relying on the hearing aid. While writing this I am suffering a rather bad session of tinnitus - mines a constant whistling.

Never noticed any on bases.

What is the plug disconnecting from, thebattery or the board?

That is a nice looking bass.

Have a read of BassAdder27's NBD thread of the Squire CV60's P-bass in this forum a few threads below your at the moment. I would not totally dismiss the Fender Affinity basses, the one I have is pretty good for the money.

Looks good and even features Robert Fripp's kitchen (didn't see Toyah though)😁

I think it's only a single speed though. Don't forget to lube the chain after every gig.

How about any of the following: Supro Huntington (should be just within your budget) Gretsch G220 (30.3" scale?) Hofner Club

Usually I wear a t-shirt underneath along sleeved top or collared shirt depending upon the gig.

Keep calm and breathe deeply you will be fine👍
