    Keep em coming chaps, thanks!

     

    Funny how drummers keep cropping up. It is a drummer, he quit without notice but now his replacement has moved in he is suggesting he might have made a mistake. We are using him as a dep initially but the future divides our band. One wants him in, one is undecided. And there’s me!

    I would tell the original drummer to look elsewhere. We're doing absolutely fine and you're not required.

    Never give up, ever. Whatever it is that rocks your world, whatever it is that feeds your soul and gives you purpose, never let go. When you’re gone, it’s over. Until then, f**k everything and do it. 

    Until you realise I would like a wife, children, a mortgage, enough to take care of everyone and being a broke musician is going nowhere after ten years. 

  3. Still using the Beta MKII every rehearsal. I tend to prefer the Beta for my Jazz bass and Spark Booster for my Precision. Really liking the vintage tones and low end retention of the Beta. Works well with my Blower Box.

    Ah the joys of gigging. 

     

    I went to the bar last night. Had a couple of beers. Got home. Watched a bit of telly. Only thing I had to carry was my wallet. 

     

    You've got to absolutely love the gigging thing to put up with it.  I never did. 

    Would rather be gigging than sitting on my arse. 
     

    Music is meant to be played live and not confined to the bedroom.

    I noticed Fender custom shop have announced new models for 2024… if you’ve got £5k to spare you can buy two badly bolted together pieces of wood!

    Out of interest, does anyone here think there’s something magical in these custom shop specials? Would you spend 5k on one of these or for that money might it be possible to buy something of better value!

    You cared enough to post this thread?

    I beg to differ. Have you ever tried a 30/50/70/90 set? Such a set has a lot of twang but lacks in grunt IMO. The difference between 45-100 and 45-105 is negligable, tried both gauges. I usually buy 45-105's.

    Was the bass properly set-up to accommodate the smaller gauge? I've never had issues with extra light gauges.

    These are fantastic jazz basses. As good as any later versions and can be updated with any custom shop pickups that you desire. This price for a USA Fender Jazz with case is a bargain in my opinion. Good luck with your sale. 

    The Am Std series already have Custom Shop pickups. 
     

    Great basses and a fantastic price. If anything, I think you have undervalued it. GLWTS.
