He sees a P-bass and he wants to paint it black.

Thanks folks. Yes that’s it then. I couldn’t see it on equipboard or anything unless it’s hidden in the comments.

Hi Lefty, have you binned these yet? I have two Squiers I need to sell and ship.

Ignore me, it's late and I'm a muppet. Didn't realise it's the same video because you linked a timestamp, and it's not the answer video. *sigh*.

I saw the one you added on reddit. It had the 5 basses on it.

This is the same price I paid for a VM 70's in 2011. And I probably got ripped off at that price because I knew nothing at all (first bass) and got it in HMV in Oxford st.

She had the pickups replaced. https://youtu.be/hr7ScpVj1QY?t=1000 What's also surprising in the budget theme of the discussion, is that she doesn't have effects either, just a tuner. And in the video she says she uses it because it anchors her cable near the mic. I saw a local blues trio the other month, and the bassist absolutely nailed it. He was also using the SX jazz, also just the tuner and he didn't know about her. So in a week I found two people using exact same setups independent of one another. He was even just using the house amp, so none of that "This is my unique tone" kind of thing. Those SX guitars are bloody good. I just got a 5 string Warwick-alike the other day and it's probably £200 too cheap for how it plays.

Is that not more due to the short scale of that bass combined with the pedigree, rather than the "budget"?

I flipping called it! Not bad for a rookie player.

What about a switching pedal like this, and stick the preamp DI box on the Line Out? https://www.thomann.de/gb/mooer_pedal_controller_l6_mkii.htm

Someone sniped a Fender Cowpoke from me today, with 2 seconds to go.
