  1. Sure, but seems like they're batch built, so I guess it would depend what the demand/sell-through was like on them. We shall see. Si
  2. Wonder what the price point will be. Wish they were shortscale though. Si
  3. 3 year waiting list for these currently, just saying 🙂 Si
  4. Very cool, excited to see it finally getting to see the light of day! Si
  5. No, thanks though. I had one and sold one. Beautiful basses…..I just had to buy a house instead haha. Si
  6. “When should legends retire?” When they want to. Si
  7. “Worrying sign of things to come?” Nope, anicdotal at best, cyclical at worst. /thread lol Si
  8. No need, they have the Nux Bumblee boards on Pedal Playground: https://www.pedalplayground.com/ Si
  9. I think you grossly overestimate what I would spend on a pedalboard 😂 But yeah, really cool product, definitely on my radar for less lean times. Great that the bag is included (or certainly is on the listing i'm looking at). Si
  10. Love this setup! What board is that? Si
  11. I do like the Burners, probably the only KS shape I’d consider. Si
  12. Yeah ‘57 for me in this instance
  13. Yeah, Andertons, Guitar Guitar, Bass Gallery, Bass Bros and Bass Direct will be your best bet for plenty of stock….all are going to take you a couple of hours I’m guessing. But nice Saturday out for you I suppose 🙂 Si
  14. Just had a little tidy, let's keep it on-topic and courteous please. Cheers Si
  15. Why not have JCR just make a 30" version of your 33"? Again, it will sound and feel different due to the scale length, but you'll be able to tick off the build quality and hardware/pickups issues you are having with the Menzinger. Si
  16. Your main issue is that you're looking to Reading Festival to show you new rock music. Look to festivals like Arctangent and 2000 Trees. Once again, for anyone complaining that there's nothing new or different, I promise you that it's because you're not looking hard enough. Reading festival has pretty much always been a pop cross-over festival, which is fine, if there has been rock bands, that act will have had a wider appeal for one reason or another. With regards to Bring Me The Horizon, never been a fan, but go and listen to Count Your Blessings and Suicide Season if you want rockier Bring Me. I also go back to this feeling of if someone accuses a band or artist of 'selling out' or (in the case of rock/metal music) writing lighter music in order to succeed etc, then that person obviously has no real interest or understanding in creating art. If they did, they would understand that someones artistic output changes and evolves over time. Some artists might subscribe to this idea of creating to a formula exclusively to be popular, however I would offer that they are the exception rather than the rule. Si
  17. I don't believe we have any Markbass representatives on the board, but I imagine that it's largely because they've launched the new MB58R CMD 121 combos recently. Further than that, your question might be better levelled at Markbass directly I imagine. Si
  18. Here are my 760FL's on my '71 Precision. Similar silk layout it seems, althpough I can't comment on the tone of each string as they've been on there about 6 years, so they're all dead haha (in a good way of course). Si
  19. Yeah, I’m with you. Not even any checking to the nitro finish?! Beautiful bass though regardless. Si
  20. After loving the album since I was a kid, I've had to finally learn Diamonds On The Souls Of Her Feet for a first dance. Such a banger!

      Hey my dad used to play this in the car all the time too! Fantastic album, I watched a great documentary about the making of it recently too (Under African Skies). Loved the Bass + vocals version, I never heard that before.

      "I was 8 when this came out and I remember even then tuning into the bass line."

       

      Ouch!  I was 35, but I still loved (and love) the bass line.  That is a great version @Rich, thanks!

      The more I listen to this, the more I love the bassline. It's perfect. Bakithi absolutely nailed it... well let's face it, he and his knackered old Washburn bass pretty much own the whole album!

      And yeah, thanks guys for making me feel so old... 👴

  21. I would head for a MIJ Precision if you want Fender, or if you have a larger budget, a Pino custom shop, or look out for a (rare) used Moollon. Lakland also make some excellent Precision copies. All depends on the spec you’re after. Si
  22. I appreciate you caring, and I would offer the same advice back to you Si
  23. Almost certainly wouldn't go back to Fender I don't think. Fender would just offer some ridiculous discount to the shop and they'd then sell it as B-stock. Cheaper for Fender to do than pay for it to come back to them and then junk it. Si
  24. Would love to take this off your hands, really interested in trying one, alas just the wrong time. GLWTS, should go quickly I think. Si
  25. Indeed, not saying you should say here (as a mod, I would get 'grumpy'), just giving you some advice Si
