    In that case, c'mon down to Harrow some time, have a play on my Gus.

    Mine is best described as a Jazz neck. The OP will have his own measurements ready for you, I'm sure. Where are you these days Sean?

    Quite possibly the nicest-sounding bass I've ever played. That comparison puts it up against Fender, Status, Lakland, Alleva Coppolo, Mike Lull, and Alembic. I doubt if that's all down to the pickups, of course. The quality of the construction is superb and the materials used lend themselves to a wonderfully tight & punchy tone.

    Oh come on guys, the wooden whammy bar attached to a bungee cord is sheer genius and you know it. You're just ticked off because you didn't think of it first.

    Talkbass ... Talkbass ... oh yes, I remember them. Long time since I bothered to log in though. Most over-policed Forum I ever did encounter.

    I'm now keeping an eye out for a Wal violin bow ...

    I thought the bridge was simply to DIE for, darling ...

    Oooh! I hadn't thought of that. Paging @KiOgon ...

    It's a Fishman Fission Powerchord, so not a cheap piece of kit. I was very clumsy taking it off my pedalboard with the power supply still plugged into the pedal - Doh! - and the plug essentially got dragged out at an angle. I heard a quiet but rather crisp 'click' and the pedal hasn't worked since. I'm guessing that the input socket has become partially/fully detached from the circuit board and needs to be placed back in position, but what do I know? I'm looking for either a Basschatter who's good at this sort of thing, or a recommendation for a pro who'll take on the job.

    It wasn't what I expected.

    Ooooh! That takes me back. Had one of those in my first studio.

    OK, that's something I'd pay good money to watch. 😉

    Bit of a long shot, but I have a QSC PLX1202 (21 lbs, so roughly half the weight of your 2450) which could be part of a solution?

    ... but why would you boast about it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hand-made-Fretless-bass-guitar/224234468865?hash=item34356a7601:g:l70AAOSw5Jdfr--l

    At least it's plug-together and play.

    And that's the bass that inspired me to commission this:

    I'm guessing those $prices turn into £prices in the UK, and on a 1:1 ratio. If that's the case, then happy to see that my personal estimate for the value of my April 1957 Precision is absolutely ballpark.

    Oops! Sorry mate ... Any chance you could put me in touch with the buyer? I reckon I could do business with someone like that. 😂

    I remember it well, Chris. I was desperate to like Jazz basses and had no idea how to identify a 'good one' ... your help that day was invaluable. Plus it was fun too. And no, I still don't get on with Jazz basses. It took me FAR too long to realise that the sound in my head was a Precision.
