Unless you don’t really get on with the Jazz in general I’d look at a higher priced Jazz, you never know, you may just prefer the one you already have. I looked for ages for a Jazz I could really gel with, had an array of American and Mexican ones, Standards/Deluxes etc, never found it. Lucked out by chance with a Squier VM77 Jazz. And if you do find a more expensive one you’re happy with, well result.

Without quoting @skankdelvars whole Post, I pretty much agree 100%. Whilst there’s no doubting Wellers songwriting abilities Bruce Foxton is very under-rated in his contribution to The Jam. Plus he’s a nice guy too, was fortunate enough to meet him when we were both on the same TV show - a real we’re not worthy moment for me.

I think Bruce’s work with SLF was good, and he was also their bassist for longer than he was in The Jam, but it will be his work in The Jam that he’ll be defined by imo. And why not, amazing creative melodic bass lines that in many cases were the main melodies of the songs. Ask many people to hum songs from The Jam and it would be the bass line they would hum I’d bet.

Far too expensive, especially when considering that the Fly Rig and the dUG have more on them for less spend.

Have you tried these in comparison to TIs, Sylvia? I was almost set on another set of TIs but these low tension La Bellas are rather interesting.

Snap his hand off, they’re discontinued and I’ve seen them go for £750+

If only these - and the other similar units - could be powered by batteries.

In general we rehearse every week whether gigging or not, however recently due to very packed schedules and holidays we’ve lapsed a bit.

Great amount of sounds available, and all good.

Research the item being sold and price it similarly/competitively as it doesn’t matter if you think it’s worth £500 but if everywhere else they’re being sold for £250, you’ll not likely get a buyer.

Tech21 Para Driver v2 - similar to the well known Sansamp Bass Driver but it has sweepable/adjustable mids making it more versatile.

I’d contact Ashdown themselves for their advice on this, they’re on here: @Ashdown Engineering

I’d look out for 2nd hand Hiscox cases, used they’re usually around £70 and it’s money well spent imo.

The most changes I’ve seen on bass was last night when the bassist for The Addicts switched from playing with a pick to fingers for one song.

Seasons in The Sun - Terry Jacks Knowing Me, Knowing You - ABBA Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush My Sweet Lord - George Harrison

I tried them for a while and whilst there was just something missing in the sound for me (think it was the pro-steels are a little scooped sounding) I have to agree, by far the nicest feeling round wound strings I’ve ever played.

Ashdown did make a 4ohm ABM410, not sure if they still do but that would more than handle it.

Projected at proper posh gigs, and left behind at home for every other gig. Money well spent.

We’re in Germany on 31 Oct, driving back 01 Nov. So only four countries to get thrown out of as undesirables 😁

Yep, very near in sound to Rotosound steels but a fair bit cheaper and - for me at least - last about twice as long.

Nice sound but I’d bet isolated it’s a lot less bassy and a lot more middy than it sounds in that mix.

Yes, apparently he switched to Precisions a bit later in The Jam as he wanted a beefier tone live, and has played them predominantly since.

As above, done the same myself, perfect fit

I’m not that familiar with the album but have always liked the bass on Come Together.

Yup, certainly agree with those Mick.
