    Another vote for the Retrovibe. An excellent pre-amp and very reasonably priced. Simple to install as well.
  2. Steve Browning
    Go on then. I'll take that off your hands. PM incoming.

    I know he used it to record the last Who album. The strings were changed for the recordings (through a Fender Deluxe!!) and I got given them. Not my thing so I passed them on.

    I will let Melvyn (Lockyer- the bass player) know of your review. It will be appreciated.

    Where's the humility emoji when you need it? 🙂

    My very first amp was a Carlsboro-made 50 Top. They reissued them a good few years ago but they are long gone now. Nice amp (all valve 50 watter). They also made a 100 Top. Bill Nelson (Be Bop Deluxe) was a Carlsboro man.

    This was actually posted a little earlier (in the general information forum).

    Personally, as originally, I believe the jacket is fastened and it does not cover the headstock.

    Very much the same here. Over the years I've been fortunate to own some of the 'holy grail' instruments. In the end all the pre-CBS basses have gone because I have better basses from later periods or other makers. It is playability that matters. Yes I have some 60s and 70s basses, but I have owned them for a long time.

    I'm sticking with it being some form of modification. Hardly a matter of life and death of course.

    The thick plottens!!

    Interesting picture from 1963. Appears to show a bass with a Precision body but with an early Precision style neck - but dark fingerboard (guy standing next to Ringo).
  13. Steve Browning
    Possibly. There's a Lollar 5% overwound, Gotoh Res-O-Lite tuners waiting for it, and I will be in touch with a certain Mr K 10gon for one of his looms. This has the air of a keeper.

    Probably some idiot stupidly frittering away his rainy day fund on something he doesn't really need. Or her, of course.

    I have tried numerous things and eventually bit the bullet and got one of these. https://www.thomann.co.uk/flyht_pro_wp_safe_box_7_ip65.htm It's bigger, but on wheels. A bit of an outlay but has proved worth it.

    That's easy for you to say!! 🙂

    I hate you!!!!!!!!!!!

    I reckon I can't let the swamp ash body go to waste. I'll see how long my willpower lasts on the neck. I have a lovely Nash neck that'll work nicely, I suspect.
  19. Steve Browning
    The Warmoth combo sound to be close to irresistible. Even got the lightweight tuners ready to go!!
  20. Steve Browning
    Ooh. That swamp ash P-bass body. Beautiful. Not to mention the dark wood neck.

    15's are the future! 🙂 When Barefaced first appeared, it was 15's all the way. The website went to great lengths to extol their virtues. I agree with Alex that the TE cab sounds best (to me). Of course I'm biased, having been a 15's fanboi since starting playing about 50 years ago. The only non 15 unit I have is the passive radiator in the bottom of the Walkabout cabinet.

    Just taken delivery of a mic from Marc. Excellent communication, quick delivery and superb packaging. Highly recommended BC'er.

    There is the option of sucking it up, but there lies the path to frustration. Realistically, is there any chance it'll change? Is the PA a joint enterprise, or owned by one individual? What do the other band members think?

    King (there being no Queen). I know that name was used before.
