Would like to *Try* and keep sizes down! But thanks, yes I'm aware of Barefaced as an option, what others are on the market? Not sure, £500 perhaps, I don't need anything super mega high range, just something that competes with the sound I get from both my Ashdown 4x8 and 1x15.....in one cab . Si

Thinking that I may...possibly..... look at a new cab. I love my Ashdowns, but thinking of something that can push a bit more air for my originals project. I'm a bit of a noob with cabs, I've used these Ashdowns for about 6 years and not wanted for anything else. So with the exception of doing a few gigs with the touring Barefaced Big One & Compact, thats all I've gigged in that time! So I think I'm after a full range, front ported cab, not fussed as to whether it's 4 or 8 ohms, my Orange head is switchable. Not fussed on speaker sizes. Would prefer to stay light-weight and small, but I understand there's a limit. I basically need something that will handle low B's nicely, and some synth bass without breaking up. Choices? Cheers Si

[quote]And I just HATE Japan Reissues for vol/vol/tone knobs in '62 Reissue Jazz Bass! There should be stacked knobs arghh![/quote] The changeover to 3 knobs from stacked was completed in '62, so perhaps the Jap RI's are a transition model Si

But most of the Japanese ones I've seen have that horrible red tort scratchplate....which I find odd because it isn't a replica of the '62!! So factor in another £40 to make it look good with a brown tort plate Si

Surely John East will have some samples?! Failing that, Beedster on here has the P-Retro in a couple of his Precisions Si

It would seem unlikely to me that you would get close to using the full 500w of volume, are you playing huge stadium stages? lol Yeah you'll be fine, usual advice, if something sounds manky....turn it down and look for a solution then! Si

To be fair, they changed their name on Ebay the day of the Music Ground liquidation! But yeah, clearly still in dreamland! There's a '65 CAR Precision or something that they're selling on the 'bay, and the action looks like you could walk under it! Si

Yeah, dead spots will do it, you get a dead note and obviously the pedal can't track it, so glitches out. Its odd that its ANY D though, if I have a dead note on my OC2, I can just play it somewhere else on the fretboard and its fine! Si

Yes please list a price for a sale here, or if you're not willing to close the auction for a private sale should one arise, I'll move the thread to 'Ebay Links' Many thanks! Si

It's important to remember that Jameson's technique was born out of him playing upright for a number of years. It wasn't to get a sound, it wasn't to be flashy, just who he was! . Sometimes I cop the one finger technique, but only usually to get a particular tone that I've found I can achieve with it....not to sound like Jameson. Si

Massive Congrats man!! Si

Disgustingly over-priced! Thats a "only a fan of my dad will buy this, so might as well hike the price" Si

Did it actually go for that?? Does a reserve still show up as 'not reached' even when the auction has ended? Si

But its the band leaders choice who plays on a record? If he wants to tread on the new bass players feet, then its not Stylons problem...its politics that the band leader has to deal with! I'd do the session, for money, being a hired musician....but yes, I'd want the new guy to be in on the decision!. Its a job, get hired....don't get hired.....leave the politics to the band members! Si

Yup I think you've answered your own question really! £50 for a two hour session is very reasonable.....and "have you asked your new bass player about this?" Si

[quote name='spacecowboy' post='840406' date='May 18 2010, 12:26 AM']Yeah she does and she always plays bizarre nights in London, never a Friday or Saturday night! I don't think I have been able to see her yet! Might have to take a day off work and stay with my girlfriend in London this time though as I don't want to keep on missing her! She'll be so awesome live![/quote] I think a lot of these kinda artists do that because they know a bulk of their market is other Musicians......who gig on largely gig on weekends! I for one am hugely thankful they gig on 'bizarre' nights lol.....I'd never see any music otherwise! Si

Yup, that headstock decal is right for the year.....Patent numbers under the 'Fender' logo started appearing in '61. I think the fact that the bag is still in tact and in that good a condition suggests that this base has barely ever been played if it is genuine....the finish seems to be consistent with the condition of the bag, so might not be a refinish!? That probably either means its been in a collection for the past 50 years......or it is indeed awful....I live in hope that its just an undiscovered gem! Couldn't tell you about the wiring, I'm an electrics retard! Si
