burping bump

Cheers for the lovely comments,



BASSKIT: The nate mendel is great bit of a chunky 70's feel (Depth wise that is, the width is a slim precision neck wise), but the synergy of the ash body and the 70's neck and the SD QP pickup is great.

Just as well..... as i had a dark teatime of the soul justifing nigh on £700 on a mexican bass. But what a bass....

This squier on the other hand is as slender as you could wish...

Brand spanking new. Only reason it has to walk is i just bought a Mexican Nate Mendel Road Worn Precision ()

Bugger too damn late.....piccys in yer inbox anyways

too bootlicious for yo bump....

I remember seeing an equinox tv special in 1987 about the electric guitar and they interview Francis Dunnery (then from It Bites) and he reckons his cheap 100 quid squier is better than his "considerably more expensive" fender . I know this refers to his Stratocaster, but the same applies across the range to basses too. Check it out here : http://youtu.be/wI5QCem2fx4

Just bought one of these for my daughter who's starting out. We toured the local Cash Converters here in Shepherds Bush in London (particular good for music bargains i picked up a Tokai Jazz sound (Korean) for £99.00 recently) and the Pete Wentz was up for £89.00 so we gave it a look. She loved the colours ( Man Utd fan but to be fair spends her part-time job money on train fares to Manchester to games can't argue with that dedication) and the fact that it weighs as much as a packet of Rizlas was in its favour. Whacked on some new Harley Benton strings (£3:99 from thomann bass bargains of the year) it sounded not to shabby.....the neck was ideal for her small hands.

Reminds me of Felix Dennis (Publishing Tycoon) saying:
"If it flies, floats, or fornicates, rent it. It's cheaper." (Dennis is unmarried and proudly non-monogamous.)

So get a lease car........

Oh hello Graham long time no see. ...

Have a bump from another Status Devotee....

Bump

Bumpoius

Marcus?

BOOMPLA

Young Marcus here got me addicted to the Status. Bought a Matrix 4,the following week bought an Empathy 5. The Jaydee and Aria SB1000 get very little time out as a result ( although they are wonderful basses none the less.) Its just that the stauses work exceptionally well for me. ....

Why?
[/quote]
Because then i would be able to sell my 5 string status knowing i could get a sound like that from a Precision. with flatwounds.

What if he was auditioning for a Sex Pistols tribute band?
[/quote]

heaven help us.... if ever a band were all about attitude and image it were the 'pistols........ i thought we were talking music here.

I dont see anyone telling this man that playing a five string would be a problem.....
Id like to see a precision/jazz 4 with flatwounds sound that harmonically rich....
