    My old man’s a dustman - Lonnie Donnegan

    Fast is a misnomer. Some necks feel more comfortable to ply on than others. I have a couple of “slim” which are great and one chunky which is fine but I did sand a bit of the gloss off of it as it did have a slightly “sticky” feel. It’s now much better and I’m equally comfortable playing that bass as the slimmer ones.

    I hadn’t heard of Warman. Looked at website, no mention of Firebucker pickup. Looked for Black plate - $80 I don’t think so. I did have the idea of covering the plate with gold vinyl but then just took it off.

    I have d’Addario flats on it now. I have used nylon tapes on another bass previously and it may be I will again.

    What is the colour, photos vary somewhat?

    I’m surprised this hasn’t been sold. Have a bump.

    You’re right about the colour match between the pickup and scratch plate. I’ve taken the plate off, looks better.

    Sorry no idea. I bought it second hand and there’s no clue on the label. I think these were only made for a very limited period, no doubt under pressure to stop from Epiphone who has moved production to China. I have started a thread on Peerless but so far mine is the only one posted, why not stick yours on there too?

    I know your not playing a Fender but this from their website about setting up pickups.

    I had a sunburst 66 EB2D a while back, they really do have a sound of their own. Looking at the photos I think Scrumymike is incorrect, I can’t see a 2nd pickup and there are no controls for it. Mine had independent volume and tone for each pickup, so I think this is correctly an EB2 and the single pickup model seems to be more collectible.

    Brilliant bass, Peerless make first class guitars. Love my Bassmaster Player and used to have a New Yorker guitar which I shouldn’t have sold. GLWS sorry I can’t afford it myself.

    I am pleased that the current management of Epiphone are recreating basses and guitars from their own past catalogues instead of imitations of the Gibson models and a couple of Hofners. Even though they were owned by Gibson since the dawn of time or at least Rock n roll time, they have a heritage of their own which is well worth recreation.

    Just found this stand on DV247 for £53.99 delivered. Ordered one and will see how it is a report further.

    Just heard that there Mick Jagger signature harps coming out. Who knew he could play one?

    I do play octave mandolin, but mine has a built in piezo which I think is Artec. However a cheap an effective solution is “The Cap”, a pickup in a bottle top which applies with a sort of putty to the front of the instrument. I used one a while back and it worked well considering the price. I looked them up on the net and Hot Rox still sell them.

    Great bass, a real classic. I hope the battery was taken out when it went out of use. It looks like it needs a really good clean.

    And add “law suit” there weren’t really that many!
