    Those 40th anniversary Squier Vintage edition P's are looking very tempting in Dakota red...first bout of GAS in a long time!

      I hear you. Still waiting for something that was despatched to me last Wednesday by a "48 hour courier".

      UPS didn’t turn up for 2 days so cancelled and went with Parcelforce…UPS only go and turn up today 😂

      At least somebody eventually turned up...the fiasco is over (hopefully)

    Well I think I scooped todays local bargain - Brand new Gear4Music Acoustic bass (not half bad after a bit of fettling), TFI gig back and best of all 2 x brand new packs of unopened Dunlop strings in my usual gauge…all for the princely sum of £50 and a 45 minute drive 😁😁😁😁

      I'd love to have a Zon. Played one a while back and it was ace. Price tag was more than I was prepared to pay. One day maybe. Enjoy.

      I very much regret not buying the Legacy Elite 5 string I saw advertised for £1250 many years ago :(

      Haha, that’ll teach me not to check my status messages properly. It was a typo …should have read At last 😂😂😂😂.

      Anyhow, the important bit - I’ve had the change of pickguard for 2 months now. Loving it 😊 image.thumb.jpg.1003fcd8380726f3fc5696ada7684fa9.jpg

    A few Gins later she said “you can buy that Sire [V7] thing you’re looking at” - in the bag before the hangover remorse kicks in. Incoming LPB/maple V7 4 sometime in Oct 😉

      Rich

      Woohoo :D welcome to the club!

      Well, if ever there was a case for buying more Gin........ ;) 

    3. Raslee

      Raslee

      Yeah more Gin! That said the Sire (it’s not Brexshit honest gov), delivery is not until the end of October…that’s a lot of Gin 😂

      Maybe you'll grow a third arm, and be AMAZING at fretting / plucking! :D

      I don't think the Jaco playing will kick in until after the second dose is administered😂

    4. Raslee

      Raslee

      Ahh, yes fair point. Maybe if I get a Pfizer Oxford combo - I can sell my head 😂

  9. Raslee

    Bums, Elites low B's don't work on a fanned fret 6 er'!

      Whilst not wanting to belittle your efforts to correct a minor oversight, you have left some low hanging fruit.  You only have yourself to blame...

    So many lightweight 5 strings in the FS at the moment...stick or twist :D

      If money is (somewhat) not a factor, check out Elrick basses. Obviously the custom stuff is pretty expensive, but the Standard (Czech built) models can be picked up well-priced and they are very light for what they are generally. Usually around 8 - 8.5lbs

      I've pulled the trigger on TRBboy's 8.1lb Sandberg Classic Booster 5...it was to good to let go.

       

  12. Raslee

    There must be some 'non' black Precision bodies for sale out there?

    1. Geek99

      Geek99

      yes, you want a lovely sunburst one. With tort.

    2. Raslee

      Raslee

      You have one for sale?

    After hankering for a Fender Stage 800 Rumble Combo I've got one I can try out and first impressions are very, very, good!

      Will do, it’s early days and I’ve only had 10 mins with it but hopefully will get more time over the next few days. First amp I’ve ever connected to my WiFi 😂

      Sits quite nicely on my Genz 2x12” for the stack 😊

      In-depth review and lots and lots of pics, rambling explanations, off-colour jokes, diversions, distractions, audio clips, derailment and weirdness, please. Did I say lots of pics? :D

  14. Raslee

    Expensive night of flowers, wine and cooking tea...but ahem,...the wife allowed me to dip into the savings to buy Mr Synchro's lovely MM Classic Sabre on here.....slightly chuffed but will have to sell a few of my others ...in due course, of course :D

    Thinking of trying an Aguilar AG4M pickup in my Stingray - Anyone had experience of the pickup? Thoughts?

    1. Raslee

      Raslee

      Well..my Aggy  AG4M is in and I have a tamer Stingray. Still retains the great classic Stingray sounds but without the extremities and a much nicer and smoother balance across all strings. Lesser top and low end but a worthy sacrifice to get better control.
