    I do occasionally, but not often. I had my SVL basses made as exact copies of my 66 Precision (excepting the colour) so I didn't take it out on the road. It comes along to some local gigs but I tend to use one of my other basses primarily. That will include pub gigs.

    I suspect people will want far more information than that. Weight, nut width, maybe an assessment of fret wear. These would be the very least. My '71 also has the non-logo case. Apparently cases were sourced separately at the time. Lovely looking bass, for sure, but more information would help you reach serious buyers. I might also heed the scam warnings and put your username on a card and photograph it under the strings of the bass too.

    Indeed. We're at the stage where we can set everything up, bit of a tweak of the main vocal and we're good to go. Everyone controls their monitor mix but that's not really needed now. If anyone is teetering on investing and is nervous about the leap into the dark, I say leap. It's an absolute game changer and the band has improved, sonically, a huge amount. Wish I'd gone straight for that option.

    I am exactly the same. With one notable exception, I think of everyone here as a chum and hope I treat everyone accordingly. I'm reminded of a local store that was offered a wonderful old Hiwatt stack, by a widow, at a silly price but insisted on paying a fair one instead. I have PM'd sellers in the past to suggest their price is possibly low. As stated, we all have our own (valid) view.

    Me neither. I mentally depreciate anything to zero when I buy it, and just want it gone when deciding to move it on. Guess I'm not destined to be a millionaire.

    I confess that I do nothing really. I do walk regularly but that's not specifically to stay in shape for gigs. I gig pretty regularly and don't have any mobility issues. I use lightweight gear now, but more because it's more convenient rather than lighter. As for practise, I haven't really ever practised, other than to learn new songs. I'd probably be half decent if I'd made any effort at all.

    Custom made 6U rack in a fetching blue colour (always had blue cases 'cos all the others backstage were black!). 300mm from front rack strip to the rear one. Doors front and back and I added wheels (two of which are braked) to the rear door. New bolts and captive nuts will be supplied when sold. Excellent case that has done sterling service over the years. Open to offers if the price is a bit steep (although I don't think so personally). Collection is definitely preferred, but I am happy to meet up somewhere reasonable (or somewhere in the Med if you're paying).

    I did state I'd done that. Maybe too shallow.

    Found a use for it.

    Interesting. I have spoken with a few Stingray players (I owned an early one and have a Stingray type still) and many agree that the botttom two strings are great, but the top two just disappear when playing live.

    Excellent news. Always glad to be able to help. 🙂

    Me too. Have you ever worked in tax? 😁

    They pay little enough. Sod paying them!!

    It's not 306. 300 is 98% of the final fee. To get your 300, you use (300÷98)×100. 306.12.

    Amazing cabs.

    I can't comment on how things line up, but I would caution you about the Gotoh supplied screws. They break very easily. If you need to create new holes, use a sticky tape to mark the drill bit to avoid drilling through the headstock. Generally it's dead easy to do. Even I can do it.

    Love the scratchplate on that. Lovely looking bass.
  19. Steve Browning
    That's one hell of a neck.

    Did our first live recording with the mixer night before last. Amazing results without much tweaking at all. 400 quid really well spent.

    Might he be between tours? I did temp work when I was in the Pretty Things, and Dick (original Rolling Stone and guitarist) picked tomatoes when we were off the road.

    It's on its way West!!

    It says it's a serialiser on the case. Does that make it unsuitable? It may make two 8 ohm cabs = 16 ohms (or am I wrong)?

    I have one of the old OBBM ones that I've had for years and not even used. You are wecome to it, if you wish. Free, gratis and for nothing, as my late father would have said.

    It's in my genes and I couldn't imagine stopping.
