Closest I can find weights for are - the above are 61.8g each and the Schaller 70's type tuners (shorter stem but bigger button) are 102g each. Not very scientific I'm afraid.
Precision. Flats. Tone control only just on. Valve preamp, gain at 1 o'clock. Slightly more bass than middle and slightly more mid than treble. Pair of 15s.
To my ears, a nice big, fat sound with a good deal of heft but good definition.
Although a Precision player, I would suggest MIJ for the consistent and excellent build quality, both of which represent terrific value for money.
I have no doubt Jazz basses are just the same.
Another brilliant evening with the XR18 and Altos. The sound is just so clear, and fine tuning for the room is such a doddle.
So glad I made the (modest) investment.
Close to Brooklands. It always looks so evocative, driving past the old banking from the race track. You can practically see an old blower Bentley tearing round there.
Yup. The agreed 25 quid seems the easiest - the path of least resistance (as I suggested earlier).
Re the OP, the questions was 'would it bother me?' My answer, a resounding yes.
Your ire is such that you missed the point that no reason is necessary, therefore nothing is inadmissible. I'll spare your blood pressure and leave it there.
