Well, it's arrived at work today but I've not had a chance to inspect it yet!! I'll let you know how I get on tonight.

Just out of interest (and certainly not trying to teach you to suck eggs) I get the same sort of sound from my amp when the batteries on my bass (Stingray) are dead or dying. I only mentioned it because it took me hours to work that one out and I was convinced it was the amp.

[quote name='outsider70' post='74653' date='Oct 15 2007, 04:30 PM']Phew!! Glad to hear that [/quote] Tony For your own health, I'd avoid reading ANYTHING on this Forum that has Ashdown in the Title!!

Thanks mate- I think the new colour tones the gold down a bit and it blends in quite well. I should have it back tomorrow/Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to trying it out!!

Owned and played Ashdown happily for a number of years. Never had any reliability issues and really like the sound too. All subjective I guess, but if it was as bad as everyone says it is, I'd argue that you wouldn't see it on as many concert stages around the world as you do.

[quote name='obbm' post='74483' date='Oct 15 2007, 10:53 AM']Maple neck with blocks is a standard option. Both my DJ4 and DJ5 are maple with blocks. I'm going to get a black pg now.[/quote] I liked the Phil Lynott look Dave!!

Finished!! Rich sent me photos this evening and I think it looks fanastic. I take delivery this week sometime. A refinish (custom colour), rebuild, wiring in the new pre amp, setup with new strings, a new ABS case and delivery (fully insured) for £271. I'd say that was an excellent deal and if it looks as good in the flesh, I'm a happy man. I hope you like it. Will it replace my Teal SR4 as my number 1 bass? Only time will tell...

[quote name='andy67' post='72406' date='Oct 10 2007, 09:24 PM']hey old horse... my MIA pbass is still up for sale if you are interested? link here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5265"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5265[/url] andy[/quote] Hi ANdy It's a lovely looking P-Bass and I'd definitely be interested, but I need to sell my MM5 String first.

Lovely. Really lovely. The J-Retro really sets it off too.

I'll swap you for our Drummer.....

It must be costing him a fortune to relist it consistently. I rekcon if he totted up the fees etc he's spent so far, he might be able to buy another bass from Tuneomatic.....maybe a P-Bass to match his Jazz.

I've just emailed him to ask how many strings it has......my wife would be sooo proud of me

[quote name='martthebass' post='72319' date='Oct 10 2007, 06:55 PM']OHM, while I have continual GAS, this is the most comfortable P Bass I have ever played. It would be nice if there was a little switch that could make it sound like a MM if and when I felt like it but ces't la vie. It's deffo a keeper. Do all MIA 2004ish P basses feel like this one?[/quote] Mart- it's the best P-Bass I've ever played (damn!!) I'm glad you still like it mate

[quote name='martthebass' post='70146' date='Oct 5 2007, 08:59 PM']Damn, I waited around months for one of these in this condition......gave up in the end and blew my GAS cash on OHM's US Precision.....Damn.[/quote] If you fancy moving the P-Bass on, can I have first refusal?!!

Just bought an Aphex Punch Factory off of Magnolia (not his real name) Great Pedal and great service- thanks mate. Highly recommended
