The name is a giveaway. Avoid. 

Rotobass are Roto nickels without the silk. Exact same string. The owner of the company told me this. 

Drop to 40-100 gauge if you like XLs. 

Not one to do this usually but I purchased a Bacchus last week from Bass Bros and the service I received was top notch. 
 

The process from start to finish was first class and Will even got in touch with me to ask what strings I would like when restringing and doing a set-up. 
 

I will definitely be using these guys again in the future.

Do the new shape Sandberg California series use solid or split shaft pots for the preamp? 

Adagio - who?!

Which one do you prefer in a Jazz bass? 

Exactly. One of the best original bands I was in jammed for the first three to four months to come up with ideas. We spent the next couple of months figuring out the song structures before playing our first gig. I remember debuting and a few people came up to us after and asked how many years we had been going! 

I find that happens to me all the time. I go to a shop, try a bass out, realise I do not like it but buy it anyway. 
 

Oh, wait a minute. 😁

I've always been impressed with Manchester Ritz. 

I'm after a Precision that isn't a Fender. I've got a £1k budget. 

Fender's QC is too hit and miss for me. 

G&L and Yamaha seem to be the main contenders - anything else worth checking out? 

JMB was hard five years ago - seems nothing has changed looking this morning! Still endless cover bands and death / djent metal... 

I've been looking for an originals band for a while now and it's constant misery - there must be someone who wants to write hard rock tunes with influences like Soundgarden, Pumpkins, Jane's... 

You're buying a £2k bass blind? Wow.

I don't think I've been there before so at least I've not got any preconceptions, being on the front row hopefully will help and we get a 'free' poster,lol.

 

We've declared the tickets as each others Christmas present to each other, neither of us are Christians though.😄

Christmas lost its real meaning a long time ago.

Some people might recommend the Mono GS1 "Betty" strap.

I had that for a few months but found it would slide all the time and I sold it.

I bought a Neotech Mega strap and that has been with me since.

Illegal file sharing is as good as dead thanks to Spotify/SoundCloud/Deezer etc. Who pay out all but naught per play.

 

Why were these websites created in the first place? Illegal file sharing. 

Has anyone ordered a bass off there recently? 
 

Any issues or problems returning it? 

I thought standard seats would be around £100 seeing has that's what most bands are charging nowadays. 

Ah well, illegal file sharing is to blame for the costs. Can't blame the bands - touring is their only way to make real money. It isn't from record sales anymore.

Quick heads up. Extra london date added. Gold circle standing tickets still left if you have deep pockets.

if this floats your boat and you get them thank me later 😉

How much are standard tickets going for?

Its horses for courses really 🤷‍♂️. Im not found of either type circuit full on (like a rat or muff for that).

Both would need some blend at full tilt. The Ehx would cut better in the mix maxed but the B3k has a better sound.

 

Ha, ironic but I think the Rat and Muff are a bit poo when trying to cut through. The fact that you need a blend pedal to make them work highlights the issue!

I can't help you on the price but the colour of the logo seems to be a good starting point, if it is black then the body is ply.

 

Squier Guitars Serial Number Decoder - GuitarInsite

 

I've played a few of these and generally they've been pretty good, the guitarist in my band uses a Korean telecaster and it sounds and plays as well as my Mexican Tele.

 

Matt

The logo is Squier with a gold tint. 

Thanks for the link.  

Looking at a Precision which is in excellent nick. 

Owner tells me it's all stock. 

KV serial number on the back of the neck near the heel. 

How much do these normally go for? Are these the plywood ones?

+1 for Unitune, polytune seems a bit pointless for bass. Also I think, but not certain that the Unitune has a strobe mode. 

It does.
