Intuitively yes, but not if the seller is a business

Electricity and water, read the above? If you're going ahead and rain's a possibility, get an expert in to check the circuits and supply, check your insurance (esp public liability), and veer on the side of caution. BTW I did call off one of the gigs referred to in the original post, which was a birthday party for a friend which ended up as to all intents an acoustic singalong under a gazebo in torrential rain

Southsea Community Cinema and Arts Centre - avoid!!!
Beedster replied to Steve Browning's topic in General Discussion
We had a similar thing happen with what looks like a similar type of operation Steve (large community arts centre). They did it in a slightly different way, that is every person we spoke to directed us to someone else. When we found the person responsible for payment they tried the 'Your quote wasn't in the correct form' thing. IIRC our singer just persisted, went to everyone about it (local council etc), and after a couple of months we got paid. What really annoyed us was the the gig was rammed, with the businesses in the space itself (food, bars, retail) telling us they'd never had such a large crowd in, in fact one of them ran out of food, but the people who run the place are just creating bad PR for those businesses by ensuring that bands like our will never play there again 😡 Hope you get it sorted Steve -
How is this still here at that price.......? -
You’re a far more polite person than me Andy 👍
-
Yellowburst 🤔

God that was boring
-
I suspect you have enough Precisions to be going on with Steve -
Wasn’t really the other guys fault mate, looks like O/P left amp plugged in, gotta look after your own gear 🤔
-
I suggest you work out the answer for yourself while you fix your own amp

Nice
-
Second that @nuno1959 there are people on here who are seriously knowledgeable and who can help you sort the problem, it’s a lot easier if you get them onside first 👍
-
Nice one my friend 👍 -
Someone needs to say this, that’s FCS quality at a Squier price point, I wish I liked Jazzes 🤔
-
God bless you mate 👍
-
Mate, the golden rule, never total the costs, you'll let slip to someone somewhere and they'll use it against you
-
All parts bodies and neck are not cheap and also come with the need for finishing/drilling, so the asking price for this bass - given the rest of the hardware - probably isn't a whole lot more than the cost of the parts, it might even be a little less. If only it was a Precision etc etc...... And of course, @Owen will be along in a minute or two to say the equivalent 'If only it were a 5-string....' 🤣

Great playing, if a little Jaco-esque for my taste, but nice to see a virtuoso FL player using a Precision, or at least a P/J 👍

@d_g knows how to do a relic finish, significantly better than any of the commercially available products including Fender Custom Shop 👍
-
Yep, it ain't what gear you play, it's how you make it sound that matters, no doubt @Linus27 has got the latter covered 👍
-
I rehearsed this a couple of times and having done so realised that it's in the top 10% of Precisions I've owned in terms of tone, playability, and loojks, which in real terms places it among a gang/gaggle of pre-CBSs. So for the time being at least, and with apologies for the people interested, I'm going to keep it 👍

Hardest album we've played, best gig we've done
-
Singist hits some loud shit in our Odelay gig, went great, could have been better, could have been worse, Beck has said the same about his own gigs

Two units I'm not really using any more, £120 each posted & insured. Happy to haggle if needs be Krivo, gold standard of low-feedback magnetic DB PUPs (IMO of course....) Lifeline, also rather useful for (generally) low feedback amplification 👍
