I saw them at Milton Keynes a few weeks ago - one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Went online to see where else I could see them in and managed to get tickets in Denmark next August (nearly everywhere else was sold out or too expensive). Then they said they were coming to Coventry so managed to get tickets for there and now they are coming to Cardiff, but as that's only the week before Coventry I'm staying with Coventry and Denmark. Can't wait

How much does it weigh?

Hi and welcome. This is my old Fender Jazz V at Bass Direct. Might be worth a look. http://w.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Jazz_USA_std_5.html

Yes Ive just seen that. Bugger. Coventry a bit easier to get to than Denmark, but as I've already bought the tickets........

Rammstein at the MK - One of the best gigs I've ever been to. Got back home and looked for more Rammstein tickets anywhere (that were affordable) - so its off to Denmark next August 2020 to see them again. Can't wait.

I might have to look into those on my PJV. I normally use DR Sunbeams, but at about £55 a go they can get a bit expensive after a while.

Stunning. Thought I'd got over my GAS. You've just re-ignited it

After having finally admitting I quite liked Fender basses, I very quickly realised that I did but I didn't really, so did a big change and bought PTB's Maruszczyk Jake 5P P/J bass. Partly because I think it looks gorgeous, but also it only weighs 3.5 kg (which is wonderful for a 5 stringer). I also decided to exchange my three remaining basses for a German made Warwick Star Bass II 5 Bubinga (I did momentarily put it up for sale on here straight after I got it because I thought it was too good for me. It is, but it's also so wonderful I quickly withdrew the sale). My logic behind this is that as I'm in two bands (a function electric band and a double bass/acoustic instrumental style band) and I didn't want loads of basses upsetting Mrs 6feet7, I though one bass could act as the backup to both the electric Maruszczyk and my double bass. At the same time, rather than have 2 different sets of amps, I've got rid of my Phil Jones Briefcase and my Markbass setup and got a Phil Jones Suitcase Compact BG-400 with a Phil Jones Compact 8 Cab that covers both bands (I've kept a Markbass LM II head as a backup, just in case). To say I'm excited to do my first gigs with this setup is an understatement. Anyway, I thought I'd share

We'll see

I just think I'd be better off with something less valuable in my collection.

It's gorgeous but for the type of gigs I do and my ability it's an absolute waste.

Just bought a stunning Maruszczyk PJV from Paul. Great guy. Superb communication. Can’t recommend him enough
-
Excuse the slappy sounds - I'm used to playing pop/rock with a heavy pick not on black nylons with fingers. I've described which pickup before playing (badly). Hope it helps
-
I can plonk away with my iphone later. Is that OK?
-
Well, if being pedantic it's 18.75 mm
-
About 19mm Hope that helps
-
It's mahogany. If it was 9 lbs or lighter I'd be keeping it.
-
No black pick guard, only the tortoiseshell I wouldn’t be selling but I want to cut right down to only two basses so last in last out
