    Bargain of the century, like JPJ I paid loads more than this for mine 2nd hand.

    These are really good, I use mine all the time. GLWTS

    No, I know it went to a good home and that you will make the most of it (I still like the P😁👍🏼)

    Mr. Sandman - The Chordettes

    Muleskinners Blues - The Fendermen (& Jimmy Rogers but I thought you’d all like the name of the cover version band).

    I found the strings too close together for finger style, although if you look at pics/videos of 60s players they seemed to manage. It depends what you’re used to. As for Hofner strings - yuk.

    Seems pointless changing the strings 🥴

    Super trooper Abba

    You should try fretless and if your a 5 string player, it might be better to get a 5 fretless. If you can find one the now discontinued Spector Spectorcore is a great choice. Comes as 4 & 5 lined ebony board with either EMG or Bartolini pickup and a Fishman Piezo bridge. Or too expensive and high quality.

    Shy me to the moon - Sinatra ( after a few bourbons)

    I am using La Bella Deep Talking Flats which are super smooth.

    The Stagg stand arrived today. Heavier than I expected but does the job for my NS NXT. The top arm extends a lot further than this if needed.

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

    River deep and Mountain high - Tina Turner

    Higher ground - Stevie Wonder

    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.
