  1. Sorry for the very late reply...yes it is the collector grade sunburst one bought from Simon on this forum.
  2. Thanks for your tip but l usually do that anyway to all the strings at the bridge. I've tried a smaller E gauge 95 and seems to help somewhat but it's not ideal. I'm still thinking about changing out the stock pups for some Norstrands though..but it would obviously spoil the provenance of the instrument which is basically a collectors grade Jazz.
  3. Proper bargain all this, especially for a young band just starting off. GLWTS bud...worth every penny.
  4. It would huff and puff and blow your house down!
  5. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  6. What's the weight of the tank please? Is the barrel long or short scale. Cheers.
  7. Cnc routers are magical and can easily replicate any design you want after it's been programmed in. Lovely design though.
  8. Had one of these a few years ago in our Country and Western Dolly Parton tribute band....
  9. Just beautiful......would you trade it for my wife..well used but in fair to good used condition and cooks a wonderful spaghetti carbonara ??
  10. Great little starter bass for anyone who wants to learn bass. Glwts.
  11. I've got a R 400 and l use it 95% of the time..it's brilliant and sounds awesome. I also had a subway D800 and it was a complete letdown when l used it on gigs and rehearsals. I soon got rid of it but instead bought a Orange Terror 500 for reheasals and back up. I love this little amp even though its a D class it sounds great and blows the Subway out of the water.
  12. Fine amps these, plenty of heft and enough bottom end to dislodge your Grannies filling out..glwts
  13. Fantastic looking bass! Didn't Jimmy Lea from Slade play one until it got pinched? That guy could really play..if you don't believe me have a listen to his bass solo on Dirty Joker from the Play it Loud album. Apparently according to my daughter who plays grade 8 violin, it's based on a movement by Bach. Makes sense as Jimmy started off as a violinist.....l'll get my coat..
  14. Wowzer.....nurse where are my anti gas tablets...please hurry!
  15. Brilliant value and as cheap as chips for a professional bass rig with exceptional quality.
  16. Lovely bass with great, detailed pictures. I've never seen a Precision with a long G string screw though. I thought this was only a quirk of Jazz models from late 60's to early 70's due to the placement of the bridge and pick up. My 71 Jazz has the long G string screw which dates it correctly. I'm sure one of my learned bass chatters will inform me otherwise. Any thoughts folk's? Glwts mate.
  17. I absolutely love Trace gear and used it predominatly throughout the 80's and 90's but the weight of these would now make make my back scream Surrender....
  18. Exactly my sentiments mate...l couldnt live without gigging. The only thing that really bugs me are the pig ignorant people who just stand there when you're trying to get your gear in and out, especially after the gig when they're peed up and don't want to move, even after numerous polite requests! There's a pub on the outskirts of Sheffield called the Devonshire Arms in Dore, a really posh and up market area, Chris Waddle the ex England footballer is a regular in there. But the people are so up their own derrière and totally affected that they expect you to bow down to them and you are there just for their sole entertainment...they are all so ignorant...apart from Chris, he's a really nice guy! Rant over l'll get my coat....
  19. Believe me and the other people on here with a fully working , fully functioning R400, this amp is plenty loud enough.
  20. I've tried everything to tame it and at different gigs. I keep my amps fairly neutral eq wise and always use an isolation pad under the cabs especially on a hollow stages and keep the cabs well away from a back wall too...
