      Presumably there's a second camel carrying the battery-powered combo for the Precision?

    Oh the HX Stomp B15 amp model 😍

      I love it!  Played a gig last week with it for the first time.  I reduce the Gain to 2.0 or so for minimum breakup, I correct the lower volume then with a simple gain block after it.  Such sweet saturation!

    Does anyone relatively close to Hemel Hempstead have a Precision 5 string I might borrow for a couple of days?

      How close is close?  I'm just over an hour away and my Jake 5 is sitting doing nowt just now.

      Hey Paul, thanks very much for the offer, but yes probably a little far for the purpose. Essentially I just want to give a P5 a try on gig in London on Sunday......see if I like it compared to my 55-01 :).  But not enough to embark on a two hour round trip. Thank-you very much for the offer though :)

    Bass Collection Jive fretless is sounding excellent on a new JoCee recording!! Very impressed!

    Anyone around the High Wycombe/ Bucks  area got a rectangular guitar box that would be suitable for shipping a bass?

    1. ratman

      I've got 2 rectangular guitar boxes I need to get shot of. One is 122 x 52 x 20cm, the other is 125 x 50 x 18cm. I'm a little further away in London N4, but if either are any use to you give me a shout.

    Oh no.....I had my Lakland DJ5 set up properly, and now I don't want to sell it!! 😅

      Then don't. I just sold mine, and now I'm wondering if I should have! 😳

    La Bella Flats & Gold White Nylons have arrived!! The Flats will replace the Chromes on my Precision, but will make some recordings for a direct comparison! Very much looking forward to testing the GW Nylons on my Lakland 5!

    1. Kevsy71

      Kevsy71

      Look forward to your Chrome vs La Bella thoughts Si! I'm now settled on Fender 9050Ms on my Limelight , very nice combination :)

    2. Sibob

      Sibob

      Yes, will be interesting to hear any differences from your comparison, although I'm using the 'standard' Flats as opposed to the Original '54 Flats you had.
      I really like the Chromes, but with my Lakland having the La Bella Gold Flats on now, which are brighter with more attack (similar to Chromes), thought I'd try something a little more thump and mellow on my Precision. Plus means I can now potentially get all my strings from one brand.

  9. Sibob

    Is anyone a La Bella string user AND use their extra-long 5 string nickel sets?

    Long shot I know 😅

    1. franzbassist

      franzbassist

      Are you looking for a set Si, or just curious about them?

  10. Sibob

    Learning the tune 'Total Praise' for a gospel'y type gig later this month (new to me, it's like someone who doesn't believe in Spiderman learning the Spiderman theme). 
    Definite 5 string city, needs more chords though*..........

    *it doesn't need more chords

    Oh the Guild Starfire I was coveting in the classifieds is gone….I am sadness 😔

      It's a small compensation, but at least the money stays in your pocket. 

  13. Sibob

    Excited, new neck arriving today for project bass. Need to decide on replacement pickup (Precision) and tuners (I think Hipshot Ultralites....Lollipops of course)

    Long-shot, but anyone in Herts (Hemel)/Bucks (Wycombe) got a Noble Pre/DI I could try?

      Met a fella called David who stores gear for Music companies while bands aren't touring. If bands split, he's left with it. He has a LOT of gear. He's based in High Wycombe, by the council offices IIRC - give him a ring/email.

    Did anyone just pick up that 1978 natural Precision from Andy Baxter? Looked like a really decent one!

  23. Sibob

    Anyone have a Bartolini Precision pickup I could borrow for a few days?

  24. Sibob

    Tool tickets acquired. Happy with that!

  25. Sibob

    Still looking for a Bartolini Precision pickup to borrow for a few days if anyone has one in a drawer somewhere :)
