  1. I've had both. For me there is absolutely no contest. Markbass every time!
  2. Hutton

    SOLD

    I would echo the various sentiments on here. I've had both. I still have the SUB and the Stingray's gone. There's a areason for that. Good luck with the sale. A great bass at a great price.
  3. I'm going to be ill if you don't stop posting these pictures.
  4. These photos should be issued with a defibrillator. Great work Andra!
  5. Very nice Andra. As usual I can't wait for the other pics. A classic guitar so tastefully shot by an expert. Perfect!

  13. I think the 70s reissue you are referring to is a Jazz not a Precision.
  14. Come on now. This just can't be serious! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250365580601&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:X:AAQ:GB:1123[/url]
  15. I was over at Mark's today for my bass lesson and got to see this beautiful bass in the flesh. A very high quality instrument which would certainly make me consider an ACG. BTW the lessons are high quality as well!
  16. [quote name='budget bassist' post='394289' date='Jan 29 2009, 02:07 AM']why DID those old fenders have strap pegs on the back of the headstocks? I never got that...[/quote] I believe it was to help players who were making the transition from upright double basses to electric basses. They would attach the strap to the end pin and then onto the headstock instead of the pin on the top horn. The bass could then be played in an upright position. It obviously didn't catch on. Has anyone ever seen a picture of a player with an old Fender in an upright position?
  17. I have a 1983 American Standard Precision. I thought that the tone knob wasn't working and so just eq'd the amp to get different tones. However, recently I tried the tone knob again and did notice a very slight change in tone. So it was off with the scratchplate to have a look. The capacitor is rectangular and orangey-red in colour. It has has a value stamped on it of .022-200DC. This confuses me as I would have expected .05. I don't think by the way the 'plate came off, and the condition under the 'plate, that anyone has been in there before. Does anyone know if Fender ever fitted capacitors of this value to their basses. I'm wondering if a guitar capacitor found it's way into the bass bin or the employee fitted the wrong one. Whatever is the case I'm going to fit an .05 cap and see what happens unless anyone here can throw any light on my problem.
  18. Played at a 30th birthday party last night at Nice & Sleazys in Glasgow. It was great to have a sound guy who knew exactly what he was doing. Stage well set up. Power points waiting for everybody. Minimum of fuss in checking. This young guy was very professional in his whole approach. What a difference it makes to start your night like this!
  19. Can I ask a couple of questions. Is the bridge original? It doesn't look like the saddles are the screw type from the photo. Maybe I just can't se it right. Are the tuners the reverse type?
