Our AV guy said “Our PTZ was £1200. I think you can get PTZs that cheap (he’s referring to the £300) but they are more glorified webcams I believe rather than straight hdmi or SDI video cameras. Mind you there are always bargains to be had on more expensive models”

I’ll ask our guy what we use. It’s definitely a wall mounted PTZ.

Paul purchased my Squier Vintage Modified P Bass and was great to deal with. Good comms, fast payment and convenient handover. Highly recommended.

Thanks Paul and enjoy the bass!!

Yeah 9lb 10z is pretty good for these -

really nice solid feel, plus with that 35” scale - lovely !

I would tend to agree having also owned both versions - particularly nice quilted maple top on this one. What does it weigh?

Wow - featherweight!! Looks lovely.

GLWTS !

I’ll be playing the organ (badly!) at the village Anglican today. @IanA Will your service be live-streamed/recorded? I’d like to see that.

How many years on BC and I didn’t even know this thread existed😂

 

Am looking forward to guesting at my old church tomorrow in the city centre, should be  pretty cool. Awesome group of musicians and a massive p/a system🥰

They have chosen Firm foundation as one of the songs, sounds like it has some pretty cool fills and slides to have some fun with!

Have any of you guys used that song?

Yes! Really like that song and it gives lots of flexibility on the bass to add some interesting fills! Chorus “1B” has a nice added Cm (if you’re in Bb!). Timing is everything with this one!

Thanks - yes, the sound is phenomenal - just what you want from a P!

Discovered this worship band called NP/Nights and this song called Diamonds has a really nice bassline and message is spot ot! Decided to learn it and practise my picking technique which I've been learning recently. What are you currently listening to or learning atm? Blessed weekend everyone!

 

 

You don't require
My good intention
Your eyes see deeper
Than what I hide behind
Not just my victory
You take my loses
You breathe the broken things to life
Once again

Here is my heart
All that I am
Take it and make it something beautiful
Here in your hands
Like only you can
Take it and make it something beautiful

Nice bassline as you say - I’ve always shied away from the pick personally cos it’s much harder to control and to mute strings whilst playing and I don’t enjoy the percussive tone as much as fingerstyle - but they all have a place I suppose!  Is the fret thingy at the headstock to help muting?

Great playing!

Our efforts from this last Sunday. We had our top Worship leader on the desk to mix it this week and I feel he does a great job

Been watching some of your services over the last few days and you have some great stuff going on there. A big encouragement.

 

Thanks for sharing this - all came across really well and nicely put together. Great team effort!

Long story short, “must have” rare bass comes up for sale, is purchased,  quota exceeded, this must go!

Squier Vintage Modified Precision 5 string. (No idea why they called them “modified”!). Top notch condition, Olympic white, 34” scale, weighs 4.2kg” 18/19mm string spacing. Made by Cort in Indonesia.

looking to recover the bargain £260 it cost. Will throw in Fender strap. Comes in “get it home” tatty unpadded gig bag or you can have it in a Thomann plush hard case (pictured) for an extra £40 (new price £79).

Collection from near Ongar in Essex or I can bring into London, or meet up around M25 north-east quarter (J26/27/28/29)

So this came up, and having sold mine a few years back and regretted it, I took the plunge. The 5ers are very rare as I think they were about 50 units out of the total of 300 worldwide.

I’d forgotten what a good “P Bass” sound you get from the front pickup, and also how user-friendly the 3 band MEC EQ is with active/passive switching and coil tap on the “twin-jazz” bridge pickup. More importantly for me, the bass, mid, treble sweeps make it easy to get what you want. Oh and like all Dirty Blondes it’s pretty light at 8lb 2oz with no chambering!

Condition really good for a 17 year old bass, set up pretty good (only slight tweaks to the “just a nut” and 3d locking bridge needed. Frets and fretboard could do with a good clean but I’ve not done that before ?!?!

Looking forward to getting it on stage!

Downside is I’m going to have to let my recently acquired Squier P bass go! Look out for the ad soon!

Ooh impressive multi-tasking!! 

Lovely colour - I suppose it plays like butter too !!! GLWTS 

Love these basses - such great quality and I think 35” scale for a great B string.

GLWTS 

That's nice, and I like the mint green too!  My one weighs 9lb 2 and balances nicely on the strap.

Thanks @iconic actually I didn’t know that! Have always admired Cort guitars which probably explains why this Squier seems really well put together! Yes, I love the neck colouration too!

So I’ve been hankering after that classic P sound after listening to too much 70s/80s stuff. Wanted something not too expensive and this (discontinued around 2017 I think?) made in Indonesia fitted the bill at £260. Yeah I know 5 strings wasn’t a thing back in the 70s, but I’ve been a 5er man for decades!

As far as I can tell it’s completely “stock” and in great condition. Just needed a little truss rod tweak and the saddles adjusted and it sounds great!

Ooh now that’s lovely - shame for me they never did the black and block inlays in a 5 string version!! 
GLWTS though I doubt you’ll need it !!

Here’s my modest array !!! Including the obligatory iPad !!

Wish I looked that cool 😂😂 and a Fodera too - very nice !!

What’s the thinking about Carvin basses these days? I’ve read the old thread with the background and the Kiesel takeover.

This one looks rather nice! (On a well known Italian website)

Wow - love this. Could you post the serial number as it’s not visible in the photos then I can look up the full spec.

The weight of the bass would be helpful too.

Thanks 👍🏻

Super surprised this lovely bass is here at this price. The maple bodied ones seems to be quite rarely on the market these days. Shame it’s not a 5’ver !!
