  1. I always buy before I try.
  2. Like on most of Leduc basses and it's a quite clever place for having the bass in the perfect playing position as you can pass the strap on the front to have it in belly position or on the back to have it in skinny position...
  3. Is 7 times enough to be sure @BassAdder60... ? 🤣
  4. They do. Note for oneself: Too is better. Is it the same kind of difference unplugged as well as plugged?
  5. Then there is the Billy Sheehan way...
  6. And don't forget to remove entirely the bullet/nut/adjuster and put some graphite grease over the thread, this will help a lot. Some flat washers may help recover some screwing manoeuvre: it's a very old and effective trick.
  7. A 10 days old video by Roger Sadowsky to start again the debate as it's been a while... And most of the protagonists are certainly really deaf by now. 🫣🤣🤘
  8. You must be thirsty by now...
  9. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Litorange-Grolsch-Gaskets-Silicone-Seals/dp/B0854BSBSR/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa
  10. But it's not for now...
  11. 🤦🫣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Heartfield line was made by Fuji Gen Gakki in Japan from 1989 to 1994 to produce the Fender niche models designed in the USA or Japan and some guitars or basses even wear the Heartfield by Fender logo à la Squier. So, true Fender? It's up to you!
  12. And the one off (two, in fact) Tye Zamora Fender 6 that was even for sale here:
  13. Fender had the Steve Bailey 6 strings in fretless and fretted version a long time ago and before that they designed a prototype version of the Roscoe Beck for the man himself...
  14. Maybe you try to source an old Atomic Reactor FR FR passive wedge (1x12 + 1x1" Eminence based speakers, L-pad and filter) and use (or better, integrate) a decent power amp like the GSS as it can handle 250 Watts, and goes down to 50 Hz and up to to 20 kHz.
  15. Only took them 50 years, even if there's been a few failed attempts... I might even buy one.
  16. Absolutely and totally right: heavy instruments are back destroyers. The only viable solution if you absolutely need to keep that bass is to play seated in a classical position with a strap to avoid the bass to slip and even with a Hopf Dynarette: this way your spine will be straight with no pressure or torsion and your arm and wrist too meaning no muscles and tendons fatigue. Check this for explanations about the Hopf Dynarette: And the amazing Simon Zauels:
  17. In the gain of a recurring bursitis for the return of it and it was also missing the top of your mind as well as it would be a good morning to the other person who knows what they are doing with their zingy tone.
  18. If you have the money, Vin, this will be the awesome, if not the best... https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/grbass-at-410-800/
  19. 1a. Nope. 1b. Yep, because it's lacquered. 2. Not a problem per se, and the price tag is a tad high for that year. 3. Nope. With Fender fully lacquered maple neck, it implies a lot of work. It's an old bass, so it can't be as new or it hasn't been played at all. 😉
  20. Good point for your hearing, I do a test each year and I still have amazing results according to my age and the ENT specialist. 6 months old strings are completely dead, so I think it's the lead... Try some Elixir Stainless Steel, yes they do exist, so you'll keep the same tone for ages, ... well months. 😉
  21. To me, way better sounding thatn the new ones. GLWYS.
  22. You can also simply check the serial number (under the battery for the early models) and date here: https://serial-number-decoder.co.uk/boss/boss.htm
