    Something that might help you narrow things down is the fretboard profiles. Do you prefer a flatter or more rounded profile. Most of the vintage ones, actual or reissue will have a more rounded board. I personally prefer a flatter board, consequently my AVRI 64 gets far less gigs than my American Professional these days - although I still have a massive soft spot for the 64!

    What was flaky about the early 2000s ones? I had a beautiful sunburst jazz with a maple board that I’ve regretted selling ever since. From what I remember they were cracking instruments with the graphite reinforced necks and lovely fit and finish. I’m not being defensive here, but genuinely interested 😎

    Bugera BV1001 M the front end models an ampeg. Light loud and reliable. Make sure you get the M (MOSFET) rather than the T (tube)

    I’ve got a lovely AVRI 64 Jazz. It’s nice n light but a bit neck heavy. Can I get lightweight tuners that look like the original or is it a matter of me swapping them for mor modern looking lightweight things?

    Just come off stage with Stray at Strings on The Isle of Wight. We’re supporting British Lion. It’s the fourth night of the tour - we had a rest day yesterday. Last week we played Bradford, Manchester and Nuneaton. To aid quick changeovers I’d decided to di straight from my Stomp XL and Junction DI into the desk, use in ears and rely on monitors for the rest of the guys. The rest of the band hated it, I wasn’t keen either, despite decent monitors (BL travel with their own monitors.) So on Thursday I asked Harry if I could use a couple of his cabs. He was fine with that so today we were in our bloody element. I only used one side - two Orange 4x12s - what a glorious sound. And to top it off The Man let me have a noodle on his new signature bass! Anyway we had a fabulous gig - waiting for them to finish now so we can load out!

    I had a chat with the man today. I forgot to ask him about the decal but the bbot bridge reflects how it was originally. I had a quick noodle on it. It definitely wasn’t a lightweight but it felt incredibly resonant I have to say.

    Nice!

    See you there bud!

    Indeed! Been with them since 2019.

    Tempted to start a rumour that he’s gone on to Ric’s but don’t wanna get chucked off the tour. That’s mine making itself comfortable.

    Thanks Gareth, the tour is going well so far. Yeah I have to pinch myself at times, it’s very cool. Steve is a big fan of our band, they even used one of our songs as a B side. He’s a very down to earth bloke whovabsolutely lives for his music. Nice guy!

    Im touring in a band currently supporting British Lion - not long come off stage in Manchester. I asked Steve tonight why his new signature bass was black. He explained it was actually white when he got it and immediately had it sprayed Matt Black. I’m guessing it never had the BA bridge on to start with but I’ll ask him if I get the opportunity. He’s got one with him on the tour but it’s unlikely he’ll use it as it’s strung with rounds but I might get the chance to have a go!

    Beauty!

    Nice!

    Got some Stray headline gigs coming up before The British Lion tour. This Sunday we’re at The Hot Box in Chelmsford for a late afternoon gig - but it’s sold out! The following Thursday we’re in Ramsgate at The Red Arrows club then on to Hastings on Friday at The Carlisle supported by Gypsies Kiss.

    Another lovely Trace head for sale. This one has the 7 band EQ with a 300W amp. I've gigged this extensively with Stray and it's never sold me short. Internally, this has the 'Bi Polar Bear' power section, which was known to self destruct. This has been checked over and modded by my tech who has ensured the earth connection is solid with a star washer, and he's also coated a component inside with heat resistant compound, which prevents false temperature readings screwing up the bias. This was an official Trace Mod which is known to make these amps reliable. It's got the Trace tone in spades and plenty of volume. Two pre shapes and the ability to 'tilt' the EQ to make it either treblier or bassier, along with the well spaced 7 band switchable EQ. This one has come out of a rack, so comes with rack ears but no rubber feet (stick on feet readily available at your local hardware store!) £225 for this one collected from Milton Keynes - willing to drive a little way for fuel.

    Indeed them is!!

    I’ve got a Sire V7 5. At 10.2 lb it’s on the limit for me but otherwise it’s absolutely first class in all respects. Just bought a Z3 and I’m blown away by it. Stunning
  24. King Tut
    In that case, it’s a bloody lovely bass and you should buy it immediately. Seriously, mine’s really good!

    I've just bought a rose gold Z3. Does the fact that it isn't sparkly preclude me from commenting?
