  1. Sounds silly saying this. But given it has a period correct case as well it’s not a bad price compared to others.
  2. If I’d won the jackpot last night AB would have had all three of those P basses sold!
  3. Very nice. Laurence Cottle certainly gets a good tune out of his.
  4. Often someone just went at the top 7 frets with a bit of sandpaper leaving an awful mess. But then even if it was done well, the painted headstock then looks odd.
  5. I missed out circa 2007 but I’ll have one of these one day!
  6. There’s a road I take regularly that’s a 60/30/60. Nobody seems to go above or below 40 mph along any of it and then you can’t overtake because there’s a train of them! The irony is they complain 60 is dangerous yet speed through the village!
  7. I was going to say mids. But i find a woody tone is a bass that can dominate mids and give rich high frequencies.
  8. Also more than the market rate for JV Squiers! Would be interesting to see if they’re as good.
  9. I made a mistake in not pulling the trigger on a new KS you had. It was half the price they are now and I’ve never seen or played anything like it since. Heed my warning basschatters, don’t overthink just buy 😂
  10. That’s defintely achievable on a jazz bass. My references are Sean Hurley/ James Jamerson/ rocco prestia which are a bit tougher to replicate on a Jazz.
  11. How do you define a P tone? A bit warmer and mid focused than typical jazz?
  12. Ah no I’ve only got one 😂
  13. More info about the new manufacturer in here:
  14. Are they consistent? Is that a new thing because they have had the opposite reputation in the past.
  15. If you ever want a vintage sound rather than buying a boutique instrument, these are available 😉
  16. My overwater cost only 10% more than the equivalent fender artist bass at the time, yet it was handmade in England and had a few little extras I could choose over the fender. In that scenario, with the money in my pocket, I would have been insane to pick the Fender.
  17. Moved to central London. But even then I only lasted a couple of years of trawling my amp on a little trolley before I gave up and bought a car again.
  18. My betting is there is some egg on face so had thought better of it.
  19. The video two weeks before: “Pro bass player has huge gear revelation”. Scott gives away boutique basses in charity giveaway. 2 weeks later, big shipment of boutique basses arrive at Chateau de Scott and your video drops.
  20. He enters his plea and the judge decides whether the case is heard at trial.
  21. Ah that would be Pino Palladino!
  22. If it was the Manchester to Shrewsbury train it’s a devil for being late or too few carriages to cope with demand. And they wonder why so many would rather drive!
  23. The providence isn’t worth much anyway. He probably didn’t know he owned half of his collection.
  24. Apparently the term comes from French, meaning “small shop”. In the UK a small company has less than 50 employees and less than £10 mil turnover.
