    Indeed he is, or in fact isn't any more. Deal done and now sold. Thanks very much Old Horse Murphy. I think you'll be delighted with this. Cheers Bonz

    Now with pics.... Comes fitted with La Bella's (760F-MUS - .043-.104's), but the original Fenders that I replaced them with are included. Gig bag, Spare black plate (unfitted), case candy & original box. Neck & fret board are wonderful.

    Greetings all, I've decided to move my Mustang bass on. In truth, I bought it on a whim and it's been sat in its gig bag in the spare room for a couple of months. I bought it new from GAK in November and it is in as new (roadworn) condition. I've never even took it out of the house! Comes with everything included that came to me inc unopened black scratch plate. £780 couriered to your door. Not a bargain price I know, but it is as new. Pics to follow later - but it looks like a roadworn JMJ Mustang 👍 Specs (in case you dont know) Body Material - Alder Body Finish - Road Worn® Nitrocellulose Lacquer Neck Material - Maple Neck Finish - Road Worn® Nitrocellulose Lacquer Neck Shape - "C" Shape Scale Length - 30" (762 mm) Fingerboard Material - Rosewood Fingerboard Radius - 9.5" (241 mm) Number of Frets - 19 Fret Size - Medium Jumbo Nut Material - Synthetic Bone Nut Width - 1.625" (41.3 mm) Pickup - Custom Seymour Duncan® Split Single-Coil Mustang Bass® Bridge - 4-Saddle Mustang® Bass Strings-Through-Body Cheers Bonz

    Bought one yesterday! Wonderful full tone and (for idiots like me) no confusing multi effects Id never use. So far, so chuffed 👍 PS Canvas artwork courtesy of the kids 😊

    ..and there's the option to return if not 100% happy. Winner winner chicken dinner.

    I know Im digging up an old thread here, but I'm quite interested in this combo. To be honest, for my needs the Rumble 40v3 would probably suffice, but there isn't a massive hike in price for the 100 (like £40ish extra)

    Maybe one day ped 😉

    ..ooh and thank you @Reggaebass for your very kind offer. I'd feel a bit of a tw*t getting you go to the trouble of going out & posting them to me all for the princely sum of bugger all, but I do appreciate your generosity 👍

    Well folks if nothing else I've learnt that there is no right answer to the 'what strings for a P bass?' question. I know that there have been some great recommendations and I really appreciate people taking the time to steer this newbie (I imagine if it wasn't for covid I'd see little response as you'd all be out gigging - every cloud and all that ) Anyhooo, I've ordered a cheap & cheerful set of Fender 7250M's in 45-105 gauge (as that's what the bass has been set up in) and Ill see how I get on with them. Once again, really appreciate your comments & views

    It already has 45-105 strings on from the PO and recently had a set up with that gauge so to negate any neck relief shenanigans I'll start there. I'm needing new strings because the A is bust.

    Was thinking that very thing Reggaebass. You read my mind. Cheers

    I hear ya BB, I have to say I'm enjoying The Beatles at the moment as I have done for 40 odd years (I go through periods where I just dont want to hear them for a while - but they are always THE band), Zeppelin, Floyd, Lizzy, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan/Fagen etc - to more modern(ish) - Elbow, Radiohead, The 1975. That sorta stuff.
  16. Bonzo
    Yeah, its not like they're a fiver a pop so you experiment with loads is it? Must say I hadnt seen that GHS video that @KeOgon posted before. That is very helpful. Maybe I should just dive in with a set of GHS flats 45-105 and take it from there. (until I wake up tomorrow morning and change my mind )

    Thanks very much chaps

    Ooh, it all went a bit weird. TheGreek did indeed ask what tone I was looking for, and I found this really difficult to answer. I then got embroiled in something else and lost the day. Apologies for asking for advice and not responding. Well, what tone am I craving? I honestly don't know. I guess I'll know when I hear/find it. Bands/artists I like aren't all associated with the P bass (though some are), but I wouldn't sound like them even if I possessed the skill & creativity. I guess I just want to try and bond with the bass, plonk along, find a groove, learn some runs and enjoy myself. I do appreciate your recommendations. Like I said earlier, there's so much choice out there it seems a bit daunting and its difficult at the moment to just go out and try stuff, hence me wanting to get a starting point and make my own opinion as I develop. I'll absorb what you guys advise and make an informed choice from there - and let you know which way I went👍

    Disclaimer. I'm a newbie. Well, I've had a bass 20 odd years ago and now I'm back with a RW MIM 50's P. Like I say, I'm gutted to be asking this but its a minefield of string options out there to the uninitiated and so I'd like someone with some experience to 'tell' me to put XYZ strings on and see where I am a few months down the line as I've got nothing to go on. I'm probably not gonna be using a pick, and can't se me slapping if that helps, but happy to be steered and if I hate them I won't hold anyone personal 😉 Cheers guys

    Cheers for the welcome guys. Glad to be here 👍

    Howdy folks, Thought Id chime in and say hello. Just got a Fender P bass (Mexican Roadworn 50's) and I'm on the prowl for a half decent practice amp for the house to get me going. Got a budget of a couple of hundred quid, so if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations? I'm tempted by the Fender Rumble 25w. (what's the difference between the LT and the version 3?) or maybe the orange Crush. To be honest, I'm probably looking more for a clean sound (at least until I've got a bit of experience) and so the millions of effects on the LT may be lost on me. But they may not. Anyway, Hello 😊
