What's your white P there @BassAgent? Si

Yeah looks to be a bit all over the place. The decal is mid-late 70's, early 70's/late 60's had the model name in a larger font (as per the bass book picture above). So if all things are legit (questionable at this point), it's a mid-late 70's neck with some muddled 'transition' features haha. Ie possible crossover with no bullet-truss but early logo. Fender were all over the place by that point, so it's possible. The cynic in me would leave it alone unless the price was particularly excellent AND it was a great playing/sounding bass. Si

I don’t blame you 😊 Si

If you ever think you might sell that, let me know Si

I think maybe I had this for a very brief moment. Needed a setup when it was with me (was sold before it had one as it was just taken in part-ex), but I could tell it was a great bass. Enjoy Si

Bought a MB LM2 amp from Keith and everything was smooth and easy. Keith is particularly easy to deal with and the transaction went perfectly. Thanks very much Si

It seems obvious to me that’s all 😐 Si

I mean it literally says: ”Register for FREE now to attend BASS SPACE 2022” Fairly easy to decipher. My further understanding is that once you’ve registered, you can, at your own behest, choose to pay a fee to unlock further features such as VIP Webinars and the recordings of all the content. But the free content is the live classes and the like throughout the weekend. Also with regards to ‘spam’, just unsubscribe if that’s what you want to do, so easy. Si

So still not an ABM Mini 500 that they’d sell a ton of! 🤨 Si

Ah nice! I was looking at this, let me know if you don't get on with it Si

Haha, yes good point!! Got stuck in the ‘no battery’ moment there haha 😅 Si

What recording interface do you have? Most decent ones will have an instrument DI input that would negate the need for a DI from a level conversion point of view, and reduce it to a 'tone' box.....which can easily be constructed within your DAW anyway (EQ, plugins etc). Si

But you’ve got wound length around the post right? Si

Well, if they’re long flats, means you’ll likely have some wound length going around the tuning post. Again, could potentially damage the winding and cause the string to break/unravel. Rounds are less of an issue, but looks unnecessarily ugly IMO. Si

Just for clarity for anyone who's unsure, the point with any through-body stringing and flats is simply noting whether there's bare winding at the break-point when travelling through the bridge, or whether silk is protecting the string at the break-point. The former will potentially cause you problems with the winding becoming damaged and unravelling (ie broken string), if you have silk covering the break-point, you're golden. Si

Mine is passive, with a transformer and a ‘thru’ output. All in a 1590B enclosure. So yeah, nice little custom job for about £42 all in I think it was (albeit about 3 years ago, so prices may have changed). (The XLR out is in the back side). Si

La Bella’s Mustang set, flats with more silk at the ball end to accommodate the through-body stringing. Had them on my Mustang when I had it and they’re the best! Si

I know you're sorted now, but another vote for Orchid, hand built in the UK and my little custom job was circa £40. Si

So you liked it then? Si

But that’s not ‘there’s no heavier bands’, that’s just ‘there are some bands I don’t like’. Si
