    I second that!

    I've noticed a fair few of the colours have a different take on them than the shades normally associated with Fender e.g. LPB, the greens etc etc. The surf green was really subdued when I expected it to be really bright

    I asked Adrian for a comparison of their surf v sea foam green as it looks the same on their configurator and he duly obliged with some photos. As it turned out I wasn't fond of either so went with the valley green instead. Maybe an email is worth a punt?

    Thanks Piers, I think it's a steal at this price. Someone snap it up!

    Here we have a 2019 Lefty Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision in 3TS with tort pickguard for sale. This is a welcome return to production of Squier Ps since the P Special was discontinued some years ago. Bought on a whim from PMT Manchester last autumn but has barely been played and has never left the house. I recently acquired a medium scale Precision which suits me better so this is surplus to requirements. These Indonesian CV Squiers are great instruments for the money and prices are climbing in some retailers. Poplar body with a C-shaped tinted maple neck and laurel fretboard. This one is neither overly light nor dark, it's a fairly standard example from what I've seen. Fender-designed alnico pickup and stock chrome hardware. Weighs ~3.8kg. No gig bag or case. Classic looking bass, perfect if you want a Jamerson vibe! Can ship at buyer's expense, collection from Oldham or Manchester maintaining social distancing or I can deliver within Greater Manchester or surrounding areas within reason. 6/6/20 - price drop to £180

    Just completed the purchase of a lefty Harley Benton 5 string from Graham. He was friendly and communicative throughout and made the sale a doddle - the instrument was in my hands a little over a day after sending. A pleasure to trade with and would have no hesitation in doing business with Graham again.

    Cheers Graham- much appreciated!

    That's got to be a record for a left hander 😂

    Wow!!

    FWIW, I've got no complaints about mine. The fit and finish is flawless and it sounds and plays great. As an aside, thanks to @wateroftyne for advice on the pickups. I'm glad I opted for the Maruszczyk HB over the Haeussel stacked J at the bridge. I love how in your face it is!! I was playing it this morning and actually found me dialling in a lot of the HB over the P pickup!

    Adrian quoted me 12-15 weeks initially but around halfway into it I received an email saying the custom shop was closed to new orders but existing orders were to be completed. This may or may not have helped to speed the build up. Even still it's an impressive turnaround for a custom instrument

    I ordered mine on Feb 12th and it arrived on Apr 30th

    I really like the look of that. If I went for a maple fingerboard I'd have opted for the vintage tint no question. Lovely bass!

    I already posted this in the lefty section but it has a place here too..

    Hopefully I will pick up a deko 5er from the forum classifieds once the lockdown has lifted. It'll be my first HB and my first 5er but they seem like ridiculous value for money
  16. rasher80
    Definitely, I'm sure it will be worth the wait!
  17. rasher80
    My custom build is ready to go!! Can't wait to get my hands on it!

    My culinary equivalent of my bass playing would be rummaging in the whoops section of Asda at half eight on a Monday night!
  19. rasher80
    Played through mine a few times, for £9.99 it's phenomenal! Much thanks to @krispn

    I must admit if I ever went back to gigging, I would have ordinarily gravitated towards MB gear.. as someone's already said, Precision & MB just work really well. I'd be torn though, having had a quick blast through a Fender Rumble 100, I would have to seriously consider the Rumble 500 instead. Absolutely loved the sound I got from the 100

    I was lucky in the sense that I'd played gu*tar for a few years before I switched to bass so I knew what brands and models would suit the sound I wanted. I'd been noodling away merrily on a borrowed right-handed Tanglewood Warrior, until a call some time later from the borrowing friend that we were both auditioning for the role of guitarist and bassist in a new band the following week! Not wanting to look rubbish, I rushed out to Dawson's in Manchester with everything crossed and managed to pick up a new Squier P Special for around £230. It served me well throughout the first years of the band, and even when I upgraded to a CIJ P it dutifully remained as backup and my at-home bass. Stupidly I got rid of it when the band folded for a G&L which I couldn't get on with and I severely regret it. It had everything I wanted; P sound, J neck. The only thing I didn't love was the colour... Antique Burst If it had been black or white I'd have kept it.

    I've managed to dig my bass out this morning after over a year's inactivity and tried to busy myself with Maniac by Michael Sembello. A simple a line as you'll play in terms of the fretting hand but my left hand ran out of steam pretty quickly trying to get the speed right. Feel like it's about to drop off now 😂
  23. rasher80
    Everything else about it is just bang on. Why would you intentionally do that?? 🤮
  24. rasher80
    I'm sure he played the original recorded line on a Hofner 500/1

    Mine's due tomorrow- can't fault that
