I've been looking at them and they look awesome fair play. I'm really into this finish. [attachment=208224:TM4Top590.jpg]

My motto is WWRD (What Would the Ramones Do?).

I've got to say I quite like the new Sandberg shapes. I'm normally quite traditional when it comes to P-bass shapes but this reminds me a little of the Ibanez ATK I once had. Has anyone tried one yet? http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Sandberg_II_VM4_Orange_2.html

[quote name='martin8708' timestamp='1449960844' post='2928462'] You can get a good JV Squier Precision for around £6 -700 ish , that would be my choice . [/quote] Buying a collectors bass goes against my original post.

I guess if I should re-word the question. Suggestion of P type basses around the new price of USA Fenders and Lakland Skyline (£1k?) and also a brand with a good QC consistency. So not necessarily the absolute best but still very good.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1449773181' post='2926742'] Maruszczyk do something similar for about £650... [/quote] They are pretty sweet!

Both those basses are awesome. I remember wanting that anniversary Fender P when it was released.

It's looking like that's my plan. Are the newer rectangle cases they come with good? I'll probably put an EMG in any Pbass I get. I like how consistent they sound. I'm not one to be totally precious with my basses but with my old one I am getting that way. It has plenty of scars but I just want to minimise the chance of losing it. Thanks for all the comments.

I want to try one of these!

My dad has a Yamaha and it's fantastic. Something to consider. I have to say I'm tempted to go for a used USA P. They seem reasonably priced.

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1449700763' post='2926193'] I now realise that I should never have let that Precision go. [/quote] It is the best one I've ever played. There's something about the neck and it sounds amazing. Chris I'm a guitar tech and I've seen PRS guitars come back off a tour in Oz with split headstocks and the bassists Warwick had a huge gauge down the back. That's mainly because they were in old Scott Dixon cases and handlers just chuck things around. Also whilst on a load out I've had to run after someone who decided to pickup a £3k Framus and run.

I've been out of the loop for a while but now I'm back playing bass in a band that is going to tour etc. I have an amazing Japanese Fender P but it'll be 30 next year and to me it's irreplaceable. So I'm looking for something that is a great bass but is easily replaced if it gets stolen, broken etc. Are USA Fender still on top of their game? Lakland Skyline?

Hopefully I'll see you all there!

Boom!

I thought you'd like that. It's the mind it goes into etc.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1443101421' post='2872219'] Was that an evilbay purchase - as think I had my eye on that. Congrats, as Discreet says, same amp as the SVT350H/450H, in a rackable unit. Nice sounding amp, have used one and was very impressed. [/quote] I think it was on evilbay but I saw it on my local gear exchange FB page. Guy had the head up for £250 then dropped to £150 and offered the cab for £50! I couldn't refuse. It sounds awesome on its own and it's a monster with my Catalinbread SFT and my Swollen Pickle.

for £200!! what a bargain. [attachment=201424:IMG_3688.jpg]

awesome. nice board there dude. Those new PT are great, i have one in my tech box when I'm out on tour. Loads brighter.

I've got a small board and don't really want a preamp as I'll be using my SFT as one. What D.Is are recommended that would fit on my board?

Cheers for the feedback. I was about to order 50 because a friend wants me to rewire his big board on a fair budget. 50 of those worked out at about £75 and 50 switchcraft worked out at £170

No my rig but the bassist I tech for. Taken at download this year. Warwick Jonas Hellborg amps and cabs.

http://duallockpedalboard.com I'm buying a kit for my Metro 16

Similar question here, has anyone run a fuzz (swollen pickle) into a preamp/D.I pedal (MXR M80). Does it work?

I've just bought a Pedaltrain Metro 16 and Volto. I soldered up some patch cables with the standard Neutrik right angled jack but they just look massive on my small board. Any suggestions for other types/brands?
