@BrunoBass, get your Drummist to read this. This pretty much covers it!

Good score and you're correct - Rich Boucher is a lovely guy, we use to work together before he got the FFAF gig.

Ah that's a shame - for future reference most rehearsal spaces will have amps/cabs you can rent along with the room, usually pretty cheaply too. Saves spending out on gear in the initial stages of bands.. Also as someone said earlier, rehearsal should be done at relatively low volume anyway. My band practice in one of our living rooms. Practice amps, electronic drum kit, No vocal amplification. Works just fine.

MY biggest annoyance too - Turn up for a rehearsal and it's clear when someone hasn't been learning their parts individually. 'Have you learned the song mate?' 'Yeah I had a quick listen'

It's simple in theory - At pub/club level, you're free to play with whomever you like. Whatever goes in the diary first gets your services.

Played one of these in Wunjo a while back, very nice indeed! I wasn't a fan of the Vol/Tone/3-way personally, I prefer VBT or VVT. Lovely Bass though, and congrats!

£100 a string innit.

Forgive me if I've missed something, but what shows that this has a non-original neck?

Looks like it's been somewhere very damp for a very long time! if not actually underwater!

Same here - my first Bass was a Black body / white guard / Maple neck Marlin Slammer Precision copy. I know now it was rubbish, but it got me started! One showed up locally on FB for £60 and I nearly bought it, just for sentimental value....

This is absolutely true. I've lost count of the times I've heard 'Yeah, but that's not really work is it, because you enjoy it!' when I've told people in my Mon-Fri job that I'm working all weekend with my band as well.

I think perhaps if the pickup covers and / or knobs were red as well it would tie it all together a bit better. Still a lovely Bass though!, Congrats!

Sorry Matt, it went a few years ago! Sold it to @SH73

That Sparkle Blue looks amazing. I had one of those MIJ Steve Harris P's from about 2009 (the ones before the WHU badge MIM ones) and I reckon I'd find it hard to tell the difference in the 2 paint jobs. Lovely!

This can usually be easily remedied - loosen the neck screws a little and give the neck a pull sideways whichever direction is needed to correct it, and re-tighten. Not uncommon for this to happen when stuff is transported around the world. I had it on a Mex Geddy Lee Jazz. Took me 30 seconds to sort it.

Just contact Ashdown if you think there's something wrong. They're very responsive and easy to deal with.

Amazing - I think most of us here would love to be able to say we'd done that! Congratulations to you all!

If I liked Jazz Basses, I'd do it to all of mine. Great mod on Jazzes, not so much on Precisions.

Thanks Stevie! Pleasure doing business with you!

I bought a Sansamp from Stevie, perfect deal, would definitely deal with again!

@KiOgon can make you one of these for sure, I've got one of his prewired VVT kits in a PJ bass with the series / parallel pull pot on the tone knob. It's great!

Good lord. That is stunning! Congrats! Mahoosive congrats!
