  1. Think I might go on the Sunday Si
  2. Ok just measured by Jap Precision, and the neck is seemingly 42mm......1.625"......1 5/8" Which is a B....which is great! Colour me interested....PM'd Si
  3. Can anyone tell me what the neck width would be on this? Funx Si
  4. I'd never seen the original Fender gigbags, so was great to see this. The bass is in beautiful condition, and is fast becoming a year for the Precision that I'm really really loving!

  5. It's also one thing to want to clone the listing of a vintage Fender.......as opposed to wanting to clone the listing of what is probably a Squier or a MIM. Si
  6. Negative feedback time! Si
  7. Just a bump for it being TONIGHT! Si
  8. Yes, brilliant job! Nice one! Si
  9. I'm not enjoying this Fender deviation to odd shaped basses Nice one though, never ever gelled with Thunderbirds....I think its mainly the sound, and the fact you HAVE to have them slung low! Si
  10. I was on the same quest for the last few months. The LG's don't sound anything like Ashdowns other amps, they're not meant to, no tube preamps. Same thing with the LMK II's and even the new III Tube, its a warm tube, not a grind tube. Shuttles also have a preamp valve...but again, it's warmth...not grind. My Ashdown EVO II is warmth and grind all built into one....beautiful amp, and I found the Orange to be the closest to it toneally than all the others. No it doesn't fit into a gig bag pocket, but it is tiny and light, with a bag to carry it in. The Ashdown has more scope with it's EQ, but I actually think the Orange is louder....it's neither here or there really, but just saying. I still use both amps, they have applications that each of them suit. A lot of the time I just take both...good to have spares Si
  11. I'm going for 22k, if it gets that far, maybe with a reserve of about 18k?? Si
  12. Thats an entire retirement plan right there! And the history of the bass is pretty cool too, even if only half of it is true! Si
  13. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110531929073&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] What a beauty! I love the 'Reserve Not Met' notice........No s**t sherlock Am watching it just to see if anyone reaches the, no doubt rediculous, reserve, What a stunning example though, I bet it plays and sounds immense Si
  14. Best thing you can do is call or email Ashdown, they have all their serial number info pretty handy! They dated my EVO II head when I took it over to them, one of the UK built ones. Your cab looks very similar to mine though, and mine has to be 6 or 7 years old! Si
  15. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='832628' date='May 9 2010, 10:23 PM']We had two different parties who were previously interested but one is dragging their feet and the other is now subject to a NZ police investigation for fraud.[/quote] I LOVE this quote! Si
  16. I can hear 19khz, then nothing onwards But at 26, I would hope that would be the case lol Si
  17. I'm the same....always wondered why so many use straplocks, I can kinda understand it for high-octane stage performances (although I didn't use them during my tenure in a heavy band).....but jazzers and whatnot who have to change all their basses to straplocks.......don't get it! Si
  18. Yes, patience is a virtue! Si
  19. Wow, a really nice example!! Good luck with it!! Si
  20. Bootsy for Dress sense? Si
  21. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='832989' date='May 10 2010, 12:51 PM']Being condescending! That's like pouring petrol on the flames! *subscribed*[/quote] Only you could turn that around! When everyone gets on and discusses the topic like adults, I'll edit my post lol I take it all tongue in cheek, you should too Anyway, simply from a lesser of two evils point of view (i'm not a big fan of either band), I'll take flea.....he has character......and was in Back To The Future 2! Si
  22. Play nice children.....if you feel like an aggressive post is boiling up in you, go and look at another thread!! Regardless of age, everyone here should be adult enough to realise these threads never agree, so whats the point in arguing? Si
  23. [quote name='moonbass' post='832690' date='May 9 2010, 11:44 PM']....although I've never done Rent I suspect as it's more modern there's probably a lot of notes up the dusty end of the fretboard though, so perhaps a difficult debut.....[/quote] Definitely, shows like Wicked are all over the place for the bass!! Some wonderful lines and amazing songs though!! Si
  24. Whenever I've been at a west end show, there also seems to be a fair few notes lower than low-E, so perhaps a 5 string will help you out from that perspective alone and with playing positions etc +1 for the technical exercise being a moot point, everything you need to know, notes, tempo, groove etc is written on the pad! Good luck if you do go for it! Si
  25. Seems like I unwittingly have one as well! My A series (SQ spec.) 1985 Japanese Squier: [url="http://img249.imageshack.us/i/fullfront.jpg/"][/url] Which I noticed last night is a slab board......which is nice lol Si
