    This item is brand new and never been used,bought for a Sire v5 jazz and never fitted,includes the screws. If it matters sizes are 125mm x50mm..with 113mm hole centres.

    Exactly this you can't go wrong for the price,have a look on Thoman.

    Psychedelic Rock,Folk Rock whatever you want to call it does nothing for me,this band epitomises that dislike.

    I discovered Boom Radio about six months ago,very fitting as i am a Boomer myself with the same tastes as you by the sounds of it. The dial inj my car has never moved since.

    You would never ever get me up on a stage with this pile of cack in my hands.

    Agreed all i did with my 4 string was change the strings ,i put some ROTO 66 Swing Bass strings on it and it sounds as sweet as a nut,the PUPS are very vintage sounding but sound great.GLWTS.

    If it's anything like the 4 string,they are killer basses these for the money.

    The Specials thought exactly the same back in late 1978.

    ?Nowt to do with Brexit then.😁

    That is why they are called Stealers as opposed to Dealers,And i n experience are one of the worst players.

    Wouldn't part with this for the world . Plays lovely ,Nice tone,Great Fingerboard rounded so makes it easier to rake the strings form the G string upwards. And all this for £399 Squid. And the Build quality is better than my Mex Fender which is £300 more . You just can't go wrong with these for the price.

    I also do this mainly because after a while i get bored with the tone so i change them and that's maybe every couple of Months.never had one break tough. What i do is when i first fit them i pre stretch them just by pulling up each String in the middle and giving it a bit of a tug. I do though remember Breaking a string when i was tuning a Bass up or Miss tuning a Bass up.

    My Nemesis is Sir Duke by Stevie Blunder a I like to call him simply because when I try to play it I always make a Blunder. My other Nemesis is PEG by Steely D,I will never get that Slap Piece off if i live to be 90.

    Killing me Softly by Roberta Flack what a performance an enormous hit back in 1972,but the Fugees version or any other version come to that just does not do it for me.it's Great because it's just that Great .

    Same here sadly.

    Black Friday deals are a Misnomer,should be Black Friday Rip offs

    Any of the padded Neoprene 3 inch wide Bass Straps are the best,tried all the rest.
  21. Mickyk
    Agreed that four finger per fret thing is for the Purists. IMO
  22. Mickyk
    I'm the opposite.
  23. Mickyk
    Yes i'm long sighted but the funny thing is according to the optician i am only long sighted from about two feet away from the fretboard.Recently i have been struggling to see the Fretboard. So Compensating for that i have been playing by Muscle Memory,my playing is suffering i think. So i am thinking of trying Contacts and was wondering if anyone else has this problem ,or is it only me.Not the worse thing in the world to happen i know but it is starting to annoy me now.Or should i just concede that i'm an old git now and carry on regardless.
  24. Mickyk
    Does anyone wear Contact whilst playing,but wears normal Glasses when not. I wear Glasses when i'm playing all the time,but i'm thinking of contacts when playing in the band Anyone?
  25. Mickyk
    Thank you i will have a Look.
