Really can’t say enough good things about it. Feels so good to play to the point I feel like I’ve had it years. It just ‘does’ bass brilliantly well across the board.

Just felt the need to post a brief update on my JMJ Mustang now I’ve had it for a few months. I’m sure it’s been said many times, but my God, they got this bass so right. It really is my perfect s/s bass and now largely all I play in my band. For me it’s got future classic written all over it. I finally got around to switching the pickguard too. Also switched to black screws. Think I’ll be doing the same with the pickup screws now too.

It’s a Washburn AB40 in the vid I believe. The AB10 and AB20 had a pointier and longer lower horn as per the pic above. Had a fretless AB20 back in the 90s. Lovely thing.

Anything that’s only got jazz pickups. Unless it’s a fretless.

Random observation, and it’s a minor inconvenience to source them of course, but I do wish manufacturers would fit black pickguard screws as standard on any black bass with a black pickguard. Looks so much better.

This is a little old so may have been posted at some point. Very funny and quite accurate though!

My Japanese Foto Flame Precision. Nowt else feels or sounds like it. Honourable mention to my JMJ Mustang though, as that’s my day to day go to these days.

Personally I went for a power supply with individually isolated outputs, as has been suggested. Sure, it comes at an increased cost, but there’s no absolute guarantee a daisy chain or non-isolated brick won’t result in noise issues. You shouldn’t get that at all with a unit like the Pedal Power. It’s been the best of all those I’ve had and tried, in as much as you don’t know it’s there. And that’s what you want. That said, I have been surprised by the Mooer Micro Power. It’s not fully isolated, but I thought I’d give one a whirl for a compact board as I saw one used for about £35 (£65-75ish new I think) . My expectations weren’t high but in operation I’ve found it almost as quiet as the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power that’s on my main board. It’s tiny too, same size as their mini pedals.

Yeah, will certainly add an additional complication in there! Best of luck though!

Assuming it’s rounds you want, I’d suggest ordering a custom set from Newtone strings. You’ll also end up with the 4 strings in the set that you need, rather than an unneeded G as well.

Saw them in Birmingham last month. They really are very, very good live and have been steadily (and noisily) building for a few years now. Georgia has clearly put a lot of time and effort into her sound and pedalboard. Indeed, she’s one of those secretive types it seems and the blanket over the board may be a little superfluous as the pedals are largely taped over to some degree or another anyway. Anyway, yes, they’re ace and I hope and expect them to kick on further from here.

LOLs at the angry people. You’re proper hilarious. x

Yep. For years was two Japanese Precisions strung B-D. Different models and finishes but only about a year apart in age. These days it’s two Mustangs. I own other basses but my two ‘main’ basses are always there or thereabouts more or less the same.

Assuming they adopt the same format as previously for this tour (and nothing suggests they won’t from what I’ve seen) it’ll be two sets - first set original Primus, second set Farewell…

Seems there’s still a fair bit to iron out. If not held yet, an initial session plus full info on the schedule would likely put you in a better position to properly make an informed call?

Christ, that looks great!

Barefaced is beret-fa-kayed, right? IGMC.

Despite playing for 30 years I’d never tried flatwounds until last year.

Not sure how cheap you can get them now but I picked up a Mooer Micro Power a couple of years back for not much at all for the same sort of reason. Same size as their pedals (so not much of a ‘brick’) and, while not fully isolated, has worked well and quietly when I’ve had the need.

Lovely stuff here, good people of BC.

If you’re questioning it then I’d say you’ve answered your own question. Not worth selling anything if you’re not totally decided at this moment in time. Give it some more time would be my advice.

Bedroom amp for my son Weird trade.

Off topic (and I may well be alone in this), but a run of Electromatic Billy Bo basses would make me happy.

I bought a Revelation Bass VI not too long before Covid first hit. Have played it loads at home and LOVE IT, but haven’t yet used it much in my band. I do plan on doing so though as we’re only a two piece (bass&drums), so it’ll definitely get a ‘proper’ airing at some point. And yeah, I know what you mean about the Hagstroms!
