Looks like a lovely bass but I think it's one digit too many. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/55-precision-bass-build-vintage-specification-high-quality-uk-built/1283507132

1. Buying online/second hand. 2. After a certain price point. 3. Interesting vintage gear. 4. 30-40 minutes. 5. Knowledgeable salesman that doesn’t want to sell you stuff.

I’m going back to flats tomorrow. This time I lasted 5 days.

Oh, I bet that feels good with flats. Happy days!

I do recall having a Fender acoustic with an broken/unadjustable truss rod. The fretboard was like a boomerang. It was virtually unplayable. I think it was a Tanglewood or something. Yes, smooth nevertheless :-) I don't like margarine.

Yes, quite a cheap one too. Played like butter after a setup.

I tend to swap back and forth. As soon as I feel that I’m starting to get hooked - I swap. And it’s really hard not to get back to flats. I just swapped to roundwounds few days ago. Oh, I love flats...

„You'd better stop, before you tear me all apart You'd better stop, before you go and a break my heart Oh, you'd better stop...”

Or “like butter”? Seems like all of the second hand basses advertised online have that in the description.

There’s nothing she can do about it, if she asked politely and you are obviously a polite guy - turn it down a little and keep going. It’s only for a week, right? I’ve read somewhere in the past that if neighbour got on Mr. Youngs nerves, he would take his sons amp into the driveway and let him go crazy as he thought it’s a horrible noise. That was Angus Young. I really wish that story were true.
