    @la bam Aye,quite agree. OK prices of everything have risen but the Sires seem to have shot up.

    @la bam If he had a hand in design then it would be minimal. Sire are an offshoot of Dame Guitars and they were selling those basses prior to Marcus getting involved.

    Nothing wrong with natural cynicism,its healthy 😉

    Seem to recall part of Sire's profits are invested in school music departments, Marcus was happy to help this along by lending his name.

    Thanks for the update. Brian's too busy to spend time on bass forums so I'll let him know 🙂 My mate ordered a plain black for his stealth mode PB-20, will be the weekend before I get around to fitting it. Need to talk him out of the Entwistle first 🤣

    Think it's time I get my site subs up to date, you may not have to wait for long 😃

    With a £500 budget I'd be looking for a Peavey TL-5. It's the model they had Tim Landers help design and their first dedicated 5'er. Here's the 6'er flanked by both versions of the 5'er.

    I'm with you there Stew. Last week I was asked to put an Entwistle neo in a mate's PB-20, I think it's overkill. I much prefer how Alan just went with a standard wire count and stronger magnet to boost the output as opposed to SD going with a higher wire count, and the resulting change in tone, for their boost. Entwistles can be a bit overpowering but that's why we have a vol pot 😃

    Aye @stewblack After Entwistle Neos, I just shake my head when hearing folks say Duncan QP's are loud 😀
  10. kodiakblair
    They're certainly loud. Scary loud tbh. When I A/B'd them against Duncan QP's , the mixer showed a huge jump in output. Duncan QP Entwistle Neos BTW. That's same bass, same strings, same pickup heights and same recording settings.

    JB-75 PG handed over around 1530 hrs 👍

    Another pleasant exchange with Lozz. Me parting with a paltry sum and Lozz sending me an A string retainer, arrived so fast I think Pony Bob Haslam delivered it 🙂 Cheers pal 👍

    Yet another P-bass neck arrived from the top man that is Ross.
  14. kodiakblair
    Only if you were planning on selling off your Peavey collection 😃

    Following on from a discussion at Germany's bassic.de this week. PG for the JB-75 will be heading to Glasgow on Sunday 👍

    @Bassybert I've one of the US ones on the way . When it arrives I'll have a better idea of the size. Plan is get some ring crimp terminals of the correct size then plate them. Largest I can find so far take a 20mm stud. What do you think the ferrule diameter is ? Could be as simple as popping the ferrule out, slip the crimping ring over it then slipping it back on the peghead.

    Good news folks. About half hour after my last reply Brian got in touch. PB-20 plate was handed over at 13.30 this afternoon.
  18. kodiakblair
    No word so far this morning. Not an encouraging sign when you know the fella does 12 to 14 hour shifts 7 days a week.
  19. kodiakblair
    I've got it here, already to drop off tomorrow 🙂 However there may be slight hiccup, Brian messaged me half hour back saying he got his Covid jag today and is feeling OK. He'll message me again in the morning if that's still the case. If he's floored I can always drop them off at his house 👍 Bonus bit of good news. The same PG fits the standard black and the stealth black 😎

    Better made I'd say. T-40's are 6lb of timber with another 6lb of metal bolted on 😱 @Pow_22's bass is definitely a Unity, they got some " best bass " award from Bass Player magazine 🙂 The Dynabass was a bolt on active with 2 single coils, Dynabass/Unity series was a neck through active PJ. Going L to R. Dyna/Unity, Dyna and then Unity. To confuse matters these were also sold in the UK as Dynabass/ International Series.

    I better get my site fees paid before doing anything 😄
  22. kodiakblair
    Glad to see you sign up @Andrew B. Easier to sort out the Cirrus here 👍
  23. kodiakblair
    OK. Flour and water.
  24. kodiakblair
    @stewblack Like yourself I'm not too impressed by "what went before". I'm a big lover of bread but not just flour and water.
  25. kodiakblair
    You lucky, lucky .... I've just the 2 sets left 😟
