    Got you. I'm a bridge pickup fan I guess. The Z7 in natural was very pretty though I thought.

    I tried a Z3 in Andertons that sounded like a Stingray (to me). I'm wondering if the humbucker on the Z7 is in the exact same location as the Z3. Personally I wasn't taken with the neck pickup on the Z7.

    This makes so much sense to me. A bass either sounds good to the user or it doesn't. Does it really matter if it doesn't sound EXACTLY like bass X or Y if it pleases the ear?

    I visited the new flagship Gibson store in central London and was in and out in not much time at all. The Bass section might be smaller than the staff toilets! Impressive store otherwise I thought.

    Went to a gig once and the bassist was rocking a Sire. He told me afterwards he's never buying another expensive bass again. In fact he said he's sold all his "high end" stuff. And believe me this guy could PLAY!!!

    I don't dislike Fender but I've been forced to seek alternative brands. I personally value a flatter radius than what they offer (my understanding is Leo was emulating classical instruments that benefit from smaller radius as they are played with bows) and I like the symmetry of a double octave fretboard also.

    No thanks 🤣

    Yeah it's strange. As Neepheid said it's the year that differentiates them. The Bassbros one I know to be earlier than the Waltons link.
  9. Terry M.
    Excellent point 🤣

    The bottom line is it's two pieces of wood bolted together (minus neck thrus obviously) with some electronics added (and nothing mind bogglingly complex) and then some strings attached. I do see where you're coming from 🤔
  11. Terry M.
    Ah ok fair enough. I wasn't aware of that 👍

    PMT currently have a used Gibson EB5 on their website that originally was priced at £1,800.00!! It's been ignored for so long they recently reduced it to £1,399.00!! It's still sitting there. They may be in for a rude awakening when the time comes. As per your post they weren't crazy popular when new.

    Only if you don't keep the Squier.

    The Meteroa looks Jaguar-ish to me. Also as far as specs are concerned the only new (to Fender) feature I think I spotted was the switchable mid frequency. Great to see the return of the S-1 switch though.
  15. Terry M.
    What is it the cheaper one can't do in your opinion if it's set up really well and plays nicely?
  16. Terry M.
    I've had two over the years. This statement is so true.
  17. Terry M.
    Unfortunately you are too right. It's the charging more money for the same things that I really disagree with also.
  18. Terry M.
    Really good suggestion this. I tried one when they were new in Bass Direct. The only thing is I've seen these (admittedly not many) in classified ads being priced a bit close to the XJ-1T's.But still one to look out for.
  19. Terry M.
    Oh my 🤤
  20. Terry M.
    Oh not at all. It definitely,especially in the natural finish,implies 70s.

    Ha ha I know this Laurel and Hardy movie,it's hilarious. He's just pulling on the strings for comedic effect and clearly can't play but it's comedy gold regardless 🤣
  22. Terry M.
    Also consider a used Mayones Jabba Classic 5. Great axes those.
  23. Terry M.
    Not quite 70s,more 60s. I have a DJ5. That's if you're referring to the distance between the pickups.
  24. Terry M.
    Had an EBMM Sterling 5H in black with rosewood board and black pickguard. Still trying to figure out why I let it go 🤔
  25. Terry M.
    22 frets on that one mate not 21 as written. I've had one of these,fantastic basses ☺️
