Anyone like bass guitars?

The Joy of Set Up

Got this back from Peter Stephen today…smooth sailing here. He’s fucked with the shim and zero fret then worked frets 6-9.

A great bass sounds even better now. Highly recommended Peter Stephens Luthier

What was his turn around time Reuben?

What to make of this...
Obv not original case but also I cant find any evidence of a 1978 p bass having a gold anodized guard so Im picking this is non original also.

Free shipping and pickup from Oamaru - feels scammy. Recent positive feedback though, hard to know.

My pups were really microphonic so I had them waxed and made a healthy change.

The neck radius is good, the frets are very vintage

So your fretboard has a radius?

I'm sure it does. I will have another look when I get home next week.
Mine is apparently built in 1975.

My 75 Greco Jazz has frettboard radius. Not much but it feels lovely to play.

Damnit
Had negotiated to grab a cab and his looper at a good price but then someone banged a bid on both cabs

100w work well enough? That was always my trepidation with V4B's

It was more than enough, however I did bring my Bassman 500 along as a backup in case it was falling short. I swapped over to the Bassman for one set at a gig. Two quite different amp heads, although the overdrive channel on the Bassman can get quite close with a bit of gain. A lot of favourable comments at the gigs. I was using my old P Bass and my Ricky 4001, both sounded great
A few different gigs this next weekend so I'll be doing the same testing again.
