  1. The bridges and pickups are fine. The bridge could be improved though...
  2. I quite like it as it is. I think there was an issue with the neck joint on the previous models, whereby it couldn't cope with a 25% extra load. So they'd have to sort that. There is someone who does 4-5 conversions in the US.
  3. Well, I've got Rics and other brand 5-strings, so it'd be logical to have a Ric 5 as well. But they would need to make sure the neck is up to the job.
  4. In seriousness, I'm wondering if they are replacements and they've put in linear pots instead of log (audio) ones.
  5. You need them re-calibrated to go to 11.
  6. Why would a Fender be labelled "Designed and backed by Fender"?
  7. I've got a G2M and it's a bit hit and miss. I have Roland PK-5A pedals, but a 12-Step would be cool too. For a bass guitar synth, the EH Synth9 is pretty good, if you want its canned voices.
  8. Squier neck means that selling it as a "fender bass guitar" is upbranding.
  9. Yep - I get it all the time; my searches are "fender -(squire,squier)" and I still have to sort out dross. The problem now is that I don't trust things straight off anymore.
  10. Looks like the dog has walked over it with mucky paws.
  11. I've had a couple of Rock Basses and they probably weren't for me. The last one did have a fantastic bottom-B note though; I got it like this: And sold it like this: The one on ebay is waiting for an opening bid of £100, but then I'd have to add £14.70 postage to it, which would be probably the max I'd pay.
  12. I've currently got Dean Markley 46-102 on mine, but I'm swapping back to Rotosound 40-100 gauge when I next change.
  13. Holy camoley - that's a monster!
  14. That's a nice bass. Sadly I've only got less than half that to spend, though.
  15. I remember he used to do a bass column in one of the magazines in the 70s.
  16. I was greedy - I offered £350, but was declined.
  17. Where's the box to enter the code?
  18. I guess you missed the holiday thread - it was fun! It ain't a Fender and the Fender trademark ain't licensed.
