Beauty of a bass. But yeah, I'd expect better too.

I don't lend, generally. I would to friends, to people I trust and know respect and appreciate nice gear. But unfortunately, lots of people don't care about their own gear let alone mine! One of my bands guitarists had their amp damaged by someone balancing a pint on top, so I don't chance it.

I got one of these as a gift years and years ago and it's still going strong. Sounds good, can keep up with quiet practices where the drummer uses an electric kit and handles a low B respectfully. Other than the big Behringer logo it also looks pretty cool! http://www.gak.co.uk/en/behringer-thunderbird-bx108/925

Just wondered if anyone owns one of these? Seems like there are a few that own the poly finish model but I'm interested in the nitro finish. They get well reviewed, along with the Road Worn, just wondered what they are like to live with? How does that finish wear? Fender are ambiguous with the spec and I'm yet to try one, just like the look and think it'd be a good option. Cheers.

I played a few P's today, this being one of them! Other than a bit of neck dive it was really nice. I preferred it to an FSR American Std. It had a really nice feel to it, great neck and I liked the relic'd finish. It looked cool.

Boring answer, but a Pino Precision, today. Next week I'll have a different answer for you though!

I really like them. But, acoustic foam off cuts sourced locally (with a bit of luck), MDF and carpet tiles were all the ingredients used for a homemade one that does a very good job.

Sorry to hijack here, but I'm going to put some flats on the Christmas list. Not had them before, do I need to order any specific length for through body stringing? I'll prob give Fender ago to see how I like them. Thanks! Edit: another noob question; Do they not do 45-110s? I need to do some more homework here...

White + tort + rosewood = classy. They're some tasty curtains too!

I have a 57 for general purposes and backup for bass/guitar/vocal/snare. Saying that, don't think I've used it to mic my cab. Just D.I usually, if required. For bass only I'd invest in a quality D.I, but that's because it would be more appropriate for the gigs I do.

How does it sound through the Markbass? I have pretty much the same rig except my speakers are both in one cab, and I'm looking to get my first P ASAP. Only played a '78 through the rig so far, but bloody loved it! More than any other bass I've played through it.

What a beast!

[quote name='gruffers' timestamp='1383953511' post='2271349'] Just a vote of adulation for this 30 quid box. The other week my band did an Oxjam gig. Organiser's heart was in the right place but lacked experience planning events. Against my better judgement I arrived as advised without a bass amp, as it would be provided. Unfortunately no bass amp arrived, so out comes the Ghetto BDI21. All 6 bands bassists did the entire gig sans backline. Straight into the PA with monitor support. [/quote] A bit off topic, but I just had to check your location as I had the same experience at a different Oxjam gig last week!

[quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1384001997' post='2271727'] [size=5][sup]Just bought this '71 Precision here on bass.chat [/quote] What a beaut.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1384005442' post='2271800'] FWP. Now it's done you can stop worrying about it. The next will be easier. [/quote] Yeah this. If you happen to have this bass after 10 or 20 or more years of gigging you'll look fondly upon the dings. The first one is a bit cringey, but, there is nothing cooler than a proper 'roadworn' Precision!

Did I make it?! The 212 is no longer listed on GAK's website, I managed to go the past week without caving and giving the credit card a workout.

On the same bass, I use Lord Sheraton bees wax, it was only a couple of quid from Morrisons. Has worked superbly and smells great! I use it on Bubinga body and Wenge neck.

[quote name='Alec' timestamp='1383666096' post='2267308'] NX2-212T - £379 - WOW!!! [/quote] That's outrageous. I love my Markbass rig and can't afford to buy this, but almost feel obliged to at that price. It seems like it would be rude not to!

A Pino Custom Shop Precision. Which won't happen anytime soon, so I'll lower the bar a touch and aim for a US Standard Precision.

I'm trying to persuade the other half to let me buy a P! You lucky man!

Hell no should you be paying. That's unbelievably tight.

[quote name='artisan' timestamp='1383221948' post='2261689'] My new rig arrived at 9 a.m. This morning,just awesome service from Bass Direct as usual. Only problem is i'm stuck at work so can't go play. Rig looks ace though,i can't believe how small & light the Shuttle is,build quality looks very good too. Come on home time. [/quote] I've not played one of the Genz 2x12 but they do look beautiful!
