April '75. I have no idea if that's the correct spacing though, the original (oversized?!) pickguard is long gone. Looking at the neck pickup cavity it could have originally been closer to the end of the fingerboard. The P is a '79 from Basschat, fantastic tone

'75 4001 and a black guard P here - but on an Oly White

Not used them on a Squier, but my old MIM P (2005 I think) was fine with the heavy gauge La Bella '54 set.

We've played to a full set [b]to nobody[/b] at an in-pub beer festival. To be fair, two people wandered in at one point and realised they were at the wrong pub, and we did get a dad and his two kids dancing for our self-initiated encore. But otherwise nobody in a decent sized room, and we got free beer and paid, despite actually feeling sorry for the pub and saying the free beer was enough!

Back to '84 for a 4001 for the Lemmy & Cliff association. Probably the last time I GASsed because of the players rather than the bass (or look of the bass )

Far too many candidates to list, but if I had to choose one, it would be buying a £40 Boss Compressor c. 1986, to use through a cheapie 10 Watt practice combo. With, shall we say, 'less than noticeable' results.

Bought an MXR pedal, very fast service and communication, and just as described! Thanks for the faultless transaction Richard.

Top service from Karl when I bought his Orange Terror amp - highly recommended and a credit to Basschat! Cheers Karl Kevin

[quote name='mrbacco' timestamp='1471263000' post='3111610'] OK, don't laugh loud here ... I am using a 15-watt Fender Frontman 15G amp the one I used for my guitar with treble at 0 [/quote] I certainly started out that way 30 years ago - albeit with a 15w bass practice amp that picked up the local cab firm through the single coil pickups of my Arbiter bass! Great advice above - meanwhile while you save for a new amp, move your frontman amp into a corner to help accentuate the bass frequencies, and play fingerstyle near the neck.

I sold Dan a Classic 50s Precision, very communicative and fast payment, and let me know it had arrived safely. A pleasure to do business with, thanks Dan!

I bought a vintage bass from Lee, fantastic bargain and he was very communicative and easy to deal with throughout. And as mentioned above the packaging was terrific! Deal with confidence
