    And Lemmy wasn’t a short man either

    Weight is relative

    Two PUPs, neither in the classic place, plus Jazz neck. Not a true Precision

    Also for Andy

    I met Nile, what a f*****g lovely guy. I’d have him in my band any day. To date he hasn’t applied

    And of course, the tone underpinning many of the world's most iconic bass lines is infinitely worse than any of the above tones when isolated

    One for Andy....

    Wonder how the pres might perform with a different bass, as above the string balance both in volume and timbre is the most prominent feature to the casual listener (and I'm pretty casual in this context)?

    It will provide heft. Nothing else matters

    How the f**k could you be surprised, it’s about as good a rig as Mesa have ever produced, and given that in real terms it’s between Mesa and Ampeg in the race in question, it was always going to be awesome. Glad you like it however. I’m 100 miles away and haven’t heard it yet, can you turn it up above 2 so that I can check it out?

    Whenever any musician says that they are ‘like’ someone famous, I know that they will be nothing like them. 100% nothing like them
  13. Beedster
    Yep

    It’s been their role since Ancient Greece

    You may be right Loz, looks like Brazilian but might not be. Either way it is a lovely dark rosewood and nicely played in without being worn

    Original FS thread here, some useful tips if you are thinking of buying and refinishing. BTW it's a '62 RI with grounding strip to back PUP

    PS the board is beautiful dark Brazilian Rosewood

    Lovely 26 year old bass, suffering from the woes that afflict all the Fotoflame models in the end, that is the Foto finish is splitting. It is however a lovely bass, typical of the early 90s MIJs. I’ve been using the neck on my ‘68 Jazz and was going to strip and refin the body (I did the same on a Fotoflame about 10 years back and the finish comes off very easily). However, I’m now selling the ‘68 and even though it’s a bit cracked, the finish on this bass still looks amazing, so seems best to leave it, or at least let the new owner decide. Price is a bargain, no haggling and no trades please. Chris

    If something is unused I guess it's new. If that were not the case, how long would something have to sit on a shop shelf to become used? Flip side, plenty of musical instruments are well used but still sold as new, having been played over and over again by prospective buyers, but never actually bought. I guess 'new' is a bit vague both ways

    I’m thinking of doing the same, I just need one more Gen 1 Compact Or a Mesa 1516EV

    One of the most sublime bass tones out there. I’ve got flats on my Modulus Flea - very similar bass - and it blows my mind every time I play it

    Look out Cape Town

    So Walshy, as a fellow Precision (and Flea) player, how did you find this compared to the Super Twin?
  25. Beedster
    Fair point. The pre-amp solution allows him to use one bass only for both precision-ish and ray tones, the VMP solution is potentially better because it allows him to have flats on one for the John Deacon sound, and rounds on the other (I would have the flats on the 'ray because that is a glorious tone, but not everyone agrees). Not quite sure how he's going to get close to the Geezer tone either way, but I imagine a key part of that was very hot tubes and volume set at 11
