    Highly recommended pre-amp. I have transformed both a Sterling SUB and OLP with one of these. Easy to install and a revelation. GLWTS.

    Always sad to read of the passing of a BC'er. Condolences to family and friends.
  3. Steve Browning
    ... and a review from one of own, I suspect.
  4. Steve Browning
    Yes. My 65 Jazz and 72 Precision.

    Interesting that BD seem to have fallen into the same trap that I did. They state the neck is dated the 5th of the month, where we now know the 5 denotes a Precision neck. I understand my ignorance but would have thought a specialist would be better informed.

    Thes really are excellent vintage sounding pickups. I used to put these in all my Fender Japan basses (even the US ones). GLWTS.

    I've always left my basses in the room when staying in a hotel. I would always imagine them to be safer there. That said, that would tend to be overnight rather than an extended stay, but I would still work on the same principle.

    Thanks for the update. Hope it does the job ok, as I'm sure it will.

    Wonderful stuff. Would have given earlier, but had to wait for an injection of funds. Man, this place is awesome.

    Great amps. I really enjoyed mine. Not sure of a source for the part, but maybe 3D printing might come to your rescue.

    I would add that chords include other notes you can use as a bass player. I learned the piano before I discovered bass, and that grounding has helped over the years.

    I guess we have no obligation to sell to anyone. I might consider what sort of activity I see, on the for sale forums, before selling to certain BC'ers. Undoubtedly rose tinted glasses but I always think of this as a 'mates rates' community.

    I do hope the bass that is bought is revealed here. I always wonder what the outcome of these threads is.
  14. Steve Browning
    The Fernandes is only 400 quid now.

    As there are many threads around this topic (and some very recently) here, it would be a bit insulting to rehash any of those arguments here. If your decision is made and you're happy with it then I can only wish you well, and hope I can resist the basses when they turn up!!

    I'm a bit of a fraud really. My board carries just my switcher (choosing between a passive fretted and active fretless - though not on this gig) and the tuner. No effects I'm afraid.
  17. Steve Browning
    Next gig is Midge Ure at Portsmouth Guildhall. Looking forward to it.
  18. Steve Browning
    Steve Hampton. Good player and a mate. Gigs solo around Pompey when not globe trotting.
  19. Steve Browning
    That's what I thought. I've got 12 and still hanker after a number of them in the classifieds!
  20. Steve Browning
    If it's a Japanese bass you want, I'd again shout out for the Fernandes. In many instances, they were made in the same factory as the Fenders.
  21. Steve Browning
    I'm with the Darester(!!). If you're happy with the sound, then it's the right choice for you.
  22. Steve Browning
    I see @FinnDave has reduced his 60s Vintera Jazz to £550. Slap bang in the middle of your budget, and a very fine chap to deal with to boot.
  23. Steve Browning
    I'd be looking at the Fernandes JB55 in the classifieds. The quality of the basses of this era is exceptional. Great value IMHO.
  24. Steve Browning
    I have the same amp and could easily do all my gigs with it. It's done tours and all sorts of gigs in all genres. Amazing amps.
  25. Steve Browning
    I guess Swiss Tony was right!!
