    Maybe try this: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/499452-over-ear-noise-defenders-for-music/

    The 3M range is pretty extensive, professional, and sensibly priced. I’ve not used them for music but The Optime Peltor I provides 26-27 dB reduction. Not sure if it’s a linear suppression across the frequency range though.

    Just completed a deal with Quent, which all went very smoothly. Great communication throughout. He is attentive, patient and an ideal example of the best of Basschat. Thanks Quent!

    Probably chosen by a marketing committee rather than musicians.

    I have just had the chance to listen to Jon Anderson’s new release - “True”. It’s very nostalgic - like listening to a new Yes album from the 1970’s, for those who like that sort of sound. Impressive Squire-like Rickenbacker playing and backing vocals by Richie Castellano. I have to confess that I had never heard of him before or “The Band Geeks”, who comprise the backing band on the album. If you get the chance, give it a listen.

    Epoxy?

    FCS P-bass

    BlueMoon replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    Yeah.........I warmed to him right there. No grandstanding or "look at me" diva BS. He seems to be just like the rest of us when it's NBD. Nice bass too. If it goes on general release you can be sure that Fender will up their price accordingly though, since a Hollywood star's name is linked to it.

    Also missing as far as I can see is a “big F” neck plate with a stamped serial number.

    I do not believe that is a genuine 70’s U.S.-made instrument. As others have said, the headstock looks wrong, the machine heads are incorrect, the matching of the body pieces look to be poor, cheaper “Dunacan-designed” pickups, incorrect vintage strap buttons. I think you get the picture.

    Apparently SBMM made a loss on the USA SUB’s, even though the concept was a great one and the instruments are little gems. It probably explains the quite short production run at the time.

    I ended up having a local audiologist make up some custom-fitted ear tips for the KZ ZAR’s. Just had a 3D scan done and am waiting for the tips to come in. Let’s see how that goes.

    Another happy ZAR user here. I also moved away from ZS10’s for similar reasons.

    Great bass. Colour combination is top and looks to be in excellent condition. Nice one! Enjoy!

    https://www.oscarguitars.se/sv/4-straengad/5815-1966-fender-slab-body-precision-bass-refin-white.html Slab body 1966 P bass just posted on Oscar Guitars in Sweden. Refin looks very thick and body belly cut is a real shame. Lot’s of mojo, if that’s your thing. I’m not affiliated with the seller, but I have purchased other instruments from them with no problems.

    Try appropriate metric size first in that case.
  16. BlueMoon
    Fender Japan typically use metric dimensions.

    Ishibashi is a reliable seller with a wide and changing stock. I’ve imported plenty (mostly domestic Japan gems) and never been disappointed. For Belgium, calculate an average of 28% additional costs to get an instrument to your door.
  18. BlueMoon
    Agree with this! Even the response by the seller to such a proposal would speak volumes about whether it is legit. If you get no response, or “I’m too busy”, or “I have another buyer just about to close a deal” etc, you know pretty much what’s going on.
  19. BlueMoon
    That bass is beautiful. Well done!
  20. BlueMoon
    Saw them live in the early 70’s. Great concert…..can’t remember if they were support or the main act though.
  21. BlueMoon
    Also “core strength” exercises will help prevent inevitable backache after gigging a really heavy bass.
  22. BlueMoon
    The Rolls is a great little unit; I always worried that there is no limiter though.
  23. BlueMoon
    ^^^^^ these comments are spot on. You could try a non invasive touch-up of the affected areas using an automotive clear coat paint stick. While it seals the damaged area it tends to stay a slightly darker shade on the worn areas. However, it will slow down or stop it getting worse. It’s a nice used instrument with some mojo. Enjoy playing it either way.

    Good luck with this. It is a fine community with many helpful folks. Maybe things might change in relations between the EU and UK if there is a change in government? My car was searched pretty thoroughly, with a steering wheel and door handle swab test, last time I went through the channel port. On that trip I was not with an instrument on board. It got me thinking what I would have said to the customs official if I were. Just asking for a friend!

    I base my assessments on the latest date for each of these, pot codes, neck stamp etc. Sometimes they are tightly spaced and other times they are all over the place. Fender, I guess
