    If I’d had a decent case I would’ve posted but alas its been purely a house bass.

    Cheers LEB, nice to know. Bet the 50s feel like steel rope in comparison. Must sort mine out as the standard set are spoiling my enjoyment of this great bass.

    I'm still in the age range that starts with a 5 but I've never been as busy musically. Just wish it could have happened 10 years ago. Doesn't stop me enjoying it now though.

    I'll go second. #1 for me. This doesn't burn any bridges and might score you a few points for future endeavours and street cred in the muso community.

    £225, a bargain indeed........as low as it gets before withdrawing no matter what she who must be obeyed says!

    That's a thing of beauty. This must be a are beast, I was looking for a 4H Sterling Starry Night for ages before I gave in and got a 4H Ray version. GLWTS

    Sorry can’t help, I can’t find any serial number that could assist. The pups are quite hot for a passive (using my other passive basses as a reference) but I can’t comment beyond that I’m afraid.

    Y’know I’m not entirely sure. However, it is mint so I suspect it’s younger rather than older - if you know of a way to check let me know and I’ll get back to you.

    Well I’ve hung on but I’m finding the 2 Mustangs do the job so this is just gathering dust at the moment and I hate to see basses being ignored. I’m still not in a great hurry to sell but I’ll reduce down to £250 collected to incentivise.

    Another shout for the Status half-rounds. Still plenty of definition and age really well. Great tension too - nice and soft but not TI soft.
  11. martthebass
    If you feel that way then why are you here? You could be having a nice pint in a pub or visiting warm climes in the Seychelles. Never understood the need to get riled about something so inconsequential.....

    The SS Jag neck has 20 frets not 19 - not sure it’ll work as a straight swap.
  13. martthebass
    I know this is probably heresy but.....has anyone changed the flats to rounds on their JMJ? Now I think the flats it comes with sound awesome, it’s the nicest stock sound of any of my basses but the tension is just too high for comfort for me. Can anyone recommend a lower tension set that would work or god forbid a set of more compliant rounds?
  14. martthebass
    You're both right? Vacuum tube relates to the construction, valve relates to it's purpose (as a rectifier). Sorry......slow day at the office.
  15. martthebass
    If it has the same neck as the JMJ I'm not surprised it wanted to be at least horizontal (the only mustang I've ever played that's happy with the neck at 45 degrees without assistance is my Mikey Way). The P type profile, thicker front to back and thicker headstock is going to make it have that tendency.

    No. I don’t need more stuff, I don’t need more stuff, I don’t need more stuff.....
  17. martthebass
    Nah, that would mean no Blue.......BC wouldn’t be the same. We’re a friendly and inclusive lot!
  18. martthebass
    Lovely in that colour, tempted but I prefer my nuts intact - the wife would kill me! GLWTS

    Your 2 I can empathise with. Due to the nature of the 'day job' I've occasionally found myself falling into the role of organiser and fixer. I've generally found that quickly runs into difficulties with personal frustration and disappointment (the phrase 'herding cats' comes to mind). In my current 'adventure' I've intentionally taken a more back seat role and I feel much happier for it, the band relationships and so forth are the best I've experienced. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect to be looked after, but just looking after my own travel, equipment, level of preparedness is a breath of fresh air to me. Fortunately the other band members are just as diligent so the whole dynamic works.

    I’ve still got these red velvet beauties - for stage use only of course 😜
  21. martthebass
    Whatever breed of tree it is it looks pretty awesome.
  22. martthebass
    Erm.....I posted it as a bit of light hearted p155taking. That was also the spirit in which it was given at the backstage shown - the techs were great. Please view it in the spirit it was posted. As you were.....
  23. martthebass
    I refer you all to......sorry couldn’t resist it.
  24. martthebass
    Serves you right for not having a 'proper' bass. You know that it's got to be a Precision....tsk.
  25. martthebass
    Alas not
