Wouldn't like to gig with it for too long! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Early-1980s-Shergold-Custom-doubleneck-bass-4-8-string-necks-/222221466353?hash=item33bd6e7af1:g:bHMAAOSwLnBXXRnf

A friend of mine has one of these, Hofner S7B. It's absolutely mint. Very rarely been out of it's case. He had the foresight to buy the case at the time. Hardly any other case will fit it! Lovely bass...

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1470927065' post='3109390'] That has to be tongue-in-cheek, surely? I read it with a grin on my face, never occurred to me it might be serious. And don't call me Shirley. Edit: See also [url="https://www.talkbass.com/threads/is-this-guy-for-real.1237982/"]https://www.talkbass...r-real.1237982/[/url] [/quote] That's how I read it. Absolutely brilliant. Made me laugh out loud. That's what my mates would do to me and they'd expect no less in return!

? Why is there cleavage on the back of the headstock?

Thanks for the advice everyone. Quite a bit to mull over there! I'm swaying towards blend and EQ at the moment. It sounds simple enough and I won't need to acquire more gear that the Mrs can see! Any other suggestions would also be greatly appreciated.

HK Elias 1.6k. Loud as a loud thing but doesn't distort or lose clarity. Small footprint and great for a five piece playing noisily. Very impressed. Bought it 2nd hand as we always hired in and lost all the money to the PA guy! 3 or 4 gigs and it's paid for.

Thinking of going back to Bi-amping after a long long time! Since I last did it, gear has moved on considerably. Hence, looking for advice. I used to use a stereo chorus that split the signal and then each feed went into a separate 15" combo. Unusual setup but one feed was for a traditional bass sound and the other was used solely for effected sound. Being able to boost the treble on the effects was essential as I used a lot of delay. It worked really well. The speakers both being 15", dispersed the sound perfectly. Many years later I don't fancy lugging around 2 stacks or combos anymore. The back isn't what it was and space is an issue. I already have an Orange TB500 head and a Barefaced compact, which could sort one feed out. I've also got another head so, I could just get another cab and that would be that. However, I've been wondering if there's a head that has a single input that splits into 2 separate signal outs, with individual effect loops? Also, a lightweight single cab that can handle 2 separate inputs? Or, perhaps you might have another solution? It's always complicated with me but any advice would be greatly appreciated! Link to Soundcloud. If you listen to the song Maelstrom, it's a good example of the sound. [url="https://soundcloud.com/duncan-mitchell-7"]https://soundcloud.c...ncan-mitchell-7[/url] Cheers Dunc

I don't know what happened to it but God should 'smite' the the culprit!

I can't believe it. Somebody needs to explain to me why somebody has even contemplated this "mod"?!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bmw-323-touring-rat-look-one-off-modified-/222198705723?hash=item33bc132e3b:g:KfMAAOSw-YVXlm2i

I'm rather disappointed that he hasn't "lovingly" lemon oiled the fretboard though...

[quote name='Defo' timestamp='1469359095' post='3097628'] I would love a fender precision from the 80s, that's when i started playing. What's the story with JVs? I remember reading about how the Japanese Fenders were outplaying the US ones back in the 80s (anyone else read Guitarist Magazine in the mid 80s?) and wonder if the JV might be what I'm after thanks Andy [/quote] I use an 83 JV 57 Precision. Olympic white with a maple neck. Hands down the best Precision I've ever owned and I've had quite a few. I sold my 79/81 USA as it didn't come close to the JV. No mods apart from it's wearing a black plate instead of the original white. I've only ever played a few so can't really tell you if they are 'hit or miss'. The one's I have played have all been good though.
