  1. If it came with a guarantee that I'd sound like the guy in the vid, I'd find £3,600 tonight
  2. That could be an EQ issue as opposed to a hardware one
  3. Buying a decent sub can be a game changer, it allows you so much more control over the monitoring. Not sure a 8/10" cab will do the same job though Not sure if there was a previous thread but might be easier for folks to give advice if the threads were merged?
  4. Fender Prefission Bass, one pickup morphs into two pickups....
  5. Fender Revision Bass, same as the previous version
  6. Fender Incision Bass, cuts through the mix
  7. Most enjoyable piece of video I've seen on here for a while many thanks, wish I had a spare £3600 also
  8. Well there goes my theory
  9. The Fender Reassignment Series, we take a Jazz and turn it into a Precision, or vice versa
  10. The necks are pretty heavy given that carbon/graphite is very light, so I'd imagine that whatever it is is substantial, if not in fact simply solid carbon/graphite
  11. After some 'vibrational medicine' are we Sir......?
  12. The Fender Precision 2050 Reissue series: Our Custom Shop, left to their own devices due to everything being done by CNC, developed a time machine, and went 27 years into the future only to discover that the basses we'll be making then are, yes you guessed it, exactly the same as those we're making now albeit with more and more desperate series names. So, we proudly present the Fender 2050 Reissue Precision, which was itself a reissue of our 2023 Precision, albeit at a 1000% markup that we have of course had to pass on to you, our devoted customers' The Fender 2050 Reissue Precision Series
  13. That's proscribed, a rather different thing; bass prescribed, cowbells proscribed 👍
  14. eBay misspellings provide some interesting Fender model names, the Fender Percission, Percussion, and Prescription Basses being all time favourites (although the last has some medical merit of course)
  15. The answer to this is, IMO, how the neck makes you feel when you play it, and that's a function your motivation for the build. My build algorithm in order of importance.... 1: Neck: Dimensions? Wrong profile = wrong neck, there's a certain ratio of depth-width that i like, jazz necks that are too narrow/deep and precision necks that are too wide/shallow are both out 2. Neck: Feel and function, how fast is it, how sticky is it, is it easy to fret, does it play well? Does it make me feel good? 3. Body/neck joint: Is it tight, does the bass sing unplugged when the neck is attached to the body, does it feel tight and stable? 4. Action: how close can I get it to almost zero without shims etc? Will probably never play it that low, but I ned to know the neck is good enough to go there if I wanted to 5. PUPs: is there magic when I plug it in (to one or other Mesa rigs that is)? 6. Circuit; does the roll off work for me, does it give me the tone control I need? So the neck is critical to the first three criteria in importance, and not something I leave to chance, whilst bodies and bridges are not even a factor, which is why I'm happy to put a Warmoth neck on a Squier body with a BBOT bridge) 👍
  16. Short of a few words on the headstock and possibly a PUP install you won't notice much difference between this and a Custom Shop, and that board looks a whole lot better than a few I've seen from CS recently also 👍
  17. Pretty much my thinking 👍
  18. So, Warmoth versus Allparts anyone 😀
  19. Sadly this is taking up space in my office that I really need to free up to bring in a rack unit. I'm going around in circles on trying to find another place in the house to keep it or possibly removing and rack-mounting the head and putting the cab in storage, but I suspect the best bet is to move it on. Happy to discuss offers/PX/trades with the above in mind 👍
