      I’m thinking of putting a scratchplate on it, if the bass was made in Indonesia, what scratchplate would I need to get?

  3. And again Royal mail have failed to deliver, didn't even leave a card, the website says they tried to deliver this morning but no card, no knock at the door (have been in all day), someone's telling porkies. 

     

    Just wanted a cheap harness to try out series/parallel but at this rate I might just end up hard wiring the bass in series

      I remember one time when my Dad was painting some skirting by his front door, a card from the Post Office came fluttering through the letterbox saying that they had tried to deliver a package but nobody was in.  My Dad opened the front door and confronted the startled Postman, saying that nobody had knocked and where's my parcel.  The Postman admitted that he didn't actually have it as he had left it at the sorting office, my Dad told them in no uncertain terms to go and get it and bring it immediately, which they sheepishly did.

       

      I do not trust the Post Office whatsoever, lazy, bungling idiots the lot of them.

  4. 45-105 or 40-100 ?

     

    I've always played 45-105's but I was thinking of trying 40-100's, is there that much of a distinguishable difference between the two gauges?

      @TKenrick I tried a set of Rotosound BS66 Billy Sheehan signature strings back in the mid 90's after seeing him at a clinic at the The Bass Centre in Wapping, I didn't get on with the .110 E string.  I love 45-105's and I stick with them for my main basses.

      @shoulderpet  I just looked at it, those strings were thick with crust 🤮

      @Lowend soldier I could probably clone the previous owner from the amount that was on there 😂

      @Kev I thought it would be higher too.  100's are nice to play and I'll definitely keep at least one bass with them on.

      @gjones I agree, I just restrung my Spector with a set of 40-100, the action is a little bit lower and the lighter gauge is definitely easier to play.  The bass sounds the same.

      The little switch is a ‘slap’ switch, when activated it scoops the mids to produce a sound, that Fender says, is perfect for slapping.  I don’t slap so I won’t be using it myself 😁

      I'm loving it, plays amazingly and sounds great. 

       

      Mine was made in Indonesia, in the CORT factory in 2015 but, does anybody know what the reference: TYPE : PR 839 stands for?  I can't seem find it anywhere on the net, I've emailed Fender this morning to see what they say.

  16. People are weird.
    I just replied to a 'bassist wanted' ad on fb that just said a date and location, message me if interested, with no fee, genre etc listed, and the person replied saying 'blocking you because you're asking too many questions' and blocked me. 
    Like...my interest level depends on the answer to those questions

  17. One of my students has an awesome sounding Jazz bass. I don't actually own a Jazz bass. Now I need a Jazz bass.

      I know someone that waited the best part of 2 years to finally get away with his girlfriend, a couple of days after landing, she got food poisoning and they had to come home early.

      I agree, I tried one last year and it wasn't anything special.

  20. Given that the tracking doesn't seem to work... how long should a Thomann order take?

      From memory, the last order I placed with them took around 10 days.

  21. Things you get told on Facebook groups:

    Apparently, saying that I wouldn't shed any tears if a pair of child torturers/murderers got the sht kicked out of them in prison actually makes me a worse person than the two killers themselves.

    Blimey. All this time I thought I was a bit of a bleeding-heart pinko lib, but it seems I'm an absolute rank amateur.

      @Rich I'm 100% with you mate, in fact I would go further and actually offer to kick the sht out of them.

      They went through enough, to subject them to the infernal clattering of thumb and strings would've been worse than 2 weeks in Auschwitz.

  24. What would be a good preamp/modeller/driver/DI to go straight into a PA?  Before everyone starts naming bespoke, top of the range items, please bear in mind that the budget is low.  When I say low, I mean that I was looking at a Behringer BDI21, low.

      @EBS_freak I don't know, I play in a church and I rarely go near the desk, the Tech Team don't like it when the Musicians get too close.
