nash Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 i've owned my fair share of £1k+ basses and they were all sweet especially the stingray and DJ4. Just over a year ago i swapped a pink mij fender jazz i had for a mij p with obbm. i've always wanted a quality pbass and now i had one. i immediately fell in love with it. now i've just bought a vm pbass for £100 and i just cant stop looking at it and playing it. probably the best £100 ive ever spent. i dont think i'll ever change from a p bass. they're all i need. leo got it right pretty much first time. on my list now is a lakky duck dunn and some kind of p with a sb body and geddy lee style neck looks wise. i would like it to be a normal p bass neck. so possibly a job for mr shuker in the future. every p i have, (3 now) i've taken the volume and tone pots out. i just dont need them. thats one of the reasons why i love them because of their simplicity. does anyone else love them as much as i do?

Raggy Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Totally agree Nash. Have had them before, and want want one again..soon. They just sit right in the mix. Hmmm Black and Maple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yeah, I love them too! There's something reassuring about the simplicity and that thick neck. I have a Lakland Glaub Skyline that plays and sounds amazing, I just wish it were a little lighter. But I shall keep searching for that elusive superlight p-bass! Is that the white squier VM p-bass you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 yea the white one. great bass esp for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I really want to try one out but haven't actually found a shop stocking them as yet, I was tempted to just order one unseen but I'd prefer to physically try it first due to lower back issues!
