I work in Morecambe at the mo and suspect there's only one music shop. Presumably he bought it 2nd hand? Interesting Maybe they have a Fender J bass in stock with a Tele style neck?

Opportunities come up for people. Sometimes (usually?) its someone else, maybe this is not the time to suggest its somehow not fair? i.e. maybe it's pointless to moan about someone else's good fortune. Farida are interesting. Chinese made and not the cheapest end of the market. This could be a sign of some really high quality instruments despite the Fenderlike name. I have a Chinese Eastman Mandolin that's not cheap and is quite awesome.

That cover plate is quite something. If one things for sure its that you can't be sure what the finish will look like until it's finished

I'm agreeing with BBC and gettin' worried!

That's what I tell the girls, the little things are more satisfying Very nice work my man!

Absolutely gorgeous, stunning work!

Bloomin lovely! Yet again the Sad does the business in a band setting. This is becoming their signature. How'd the P get on Russ?

It strikes me that a P bass tone like the one this bass delivers is fundamentally awesome Fingers crossed.

Roland cube's are great but also not cheap. Mine failed a little while back too but was far from new. I'd say look on here for a small 2nd hand amp and don't limit yourself to 30W but to portability. I use a Warwick Blue 60 and it has a bonus of a line in which is a boon for playing along to my Tascam MP3. Headphone socket and line out too which are all used.

As of last night I can attest to Alan's Sandy being extremely sweet indeedy

If you're a Lady AM it won't be sweat will it, I'm sure that having 'glow' on occasionally won't do the strings any harm. If however you qualify instead as a woman then maybe perspiration is the issue, that and the fact that in a few weeks you're probably spending more hours playing than I do in a few months Men and horses sweat

One is real and one is entirely fake (and stupid?). All in my opinion of course, it makes no sense to me at all, owning something entirely incongruent and being in the slightest bit pleased with it.

Me too, most definitely

It is Nik, and a happier bass player am for it methinks. The C64S and CS 4001's came out yesterday too. I forget how nice they sound.
