    [quote name='deanbean502' timestamp='1323189111' post='1460337'] Any suggestions? [/quote] I use my LB with either the LB212 or one or two ABM mini neo cabs (4x8, 1x15) depending on venue size. All combinations work really well and are plenty loud enough.

    It's this one

    The decision has been made. I've gone for a second hand MIJ bass from the late 80s.

    This is all good stuff guys, although I'm not sure I'm any the wiser! I've fired a message off about the Classic 50s P, as it does indeed look like just the job. Also spotted a used Deluxe Active P that fits the bill, so asking for info on that too.

    [quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1323084838' post='1458964'] Given the number of Precisions that come up here, for under the upper limit of your budget, why are you thinking about buying new? Could be you just want that "I'm the only person to own this" rush or are a registered business so can take advantage of offsetting VAT, but otherwise? [/quote] No qualms about buying used through BC at all, just not seen anything that grabs me at the moment. EDIT: Correction, may have just spotted one!

    [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1323082870' post='1458927'] The Mike Dirnt is missing from that list [/quote] Indeed it is. I forgot to mention that I play in a Jam/Weller tribute band, so ideally I'd like it to look like one of Foxton's basses.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1323082715' post='1458922'] Does it have to say Fender on the head?[/quote] It doesn't have to no, but I would be quite picky about what else appears there! What are you thinking?

    So, with a trade of my Squier Matt Freeman imminent I am looking to upgrade my P bass but am slightly bewildered by the choice! Any thoughts on what's good? Not looking to spend silly money, and if the quality of my Squier is anything to go by I don't need to anyway, but some pointers would be welcome. My choices, buying new, under £800, look like being: Standard P bass - £413 (with current rebate offer) Roger Waters P Bass - £583 50s P bass - £601 Deluxe Active P Bass Special - £647 American Special - £793 Any thoughts? Cheers Gareth

    Looking forward to seeing some pics, but forum rules say you must state an asking price in your post.

    [quote name='simontdo' timestamp='1322943672' post='1457654'] what sort of trades are you after? Geddy lee jazz bass of any interest? [/quote] Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm sorted for basses.

    [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1322945633' post='1457675'] I'm inclined to say JC for MF? [/quote] Now that is very tempting. Give me a few days to see how my potential P bass replacement searches go and I'll be in touch very soon. Nice...

    So, earlier this summer, I dipped my toe in the P bass waters with this superb Squier. I've now decided to go the whole hog and complement my 70 fretless P with a fretted bass of similar vintage, so this bass has to go. It's a Squier [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php/?partno=0301080506"]Matt Freeman P bass [/url]in black/maple. It's in very good condition save for one dent on the edge of the body. I've upgraded it with a Duncan SPB 3 Quarter Pounder, a Badass, and a KiOgon P bass wiring kit. It sounds absolutely [i]fantastic[/i], balances very well and is nice and light. It really is a very good bass and I won't be that bothered if it doesn't sell, but I would like to get something old.... I'd like £400 posted.

    Well, having spent some time with this bass I must say it's in great nick. I took the neck off and opened it up to get a few internal shots and I'm not sure it'd ever been taken apart - the screws were all nice and tight, and the foam mute was actually stuck to one string! Anyway, great nick, lovely rosewood board, what's not to like? It's boxed up and ready to post.

    [quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1322490212' post='1451398'] I think your deranged selling this Mr G, its a very versatile head and sounds great with a fretless and with just a tweek adds some serious top to my Streamline. Buy this, dont prevaricate if you dont buy you will regret it. Its a bargain I paid list for mine from Bass Direct not that long ago................. [/quote] Yes I am deranged, but it seems to be a problem I have at the moment.... just look at my buying two 70s fretless P basses!

    A fun article to read. [quote name='merello' timestamp='1322167926' post='1447578'] [b]Is a Precision without frets really a Precision? Certainly. 1970 catalog page for the most ironic of all Fender instruments.[/b] One of the first significant Precision Bass developments of the decade seemed to be the very height of irony; a design feature that seemed to controvert the very name of the instrument at the ever-experimenting hands of Fender itself. [/quote] An here is mine, newly acquired by me, and with a neck date stamp of December 1970. It's 8.9lbs of woody loveliness...

    [quote name='largo' timestamp='1322422184' post='1450712'] I don't think I'm following this FS thread, 2 days ago there's a listing by walbassist saying there are now 5 Basschatters in the queue. Then the next day, he bumps the advert. Is this for sale or not? Is it being held for someone. I'd be very interested and would welcome a PM if it's still up for sale. [/quote] Time to clarify. As of Friday evening there were five people who had expressed a firm interest. One has since confirmed he's no longer interested and I've seen another has bought something else, so I guess he's out too. No contact from the other three. So, still available.

    Whereas I would say go for the 17dB! I've tried 9dB, 15db and 30dB over the years in my Elacin plugs, and the 15dB are easily the best balance between protection and still enjoying the music! The 30dB ones work great when I'm in the audience though!
