+1 to the pickguard, just like everyone else points out, then you'll have a black/maple Precision, [i]THE[/i] sexiest bass in the world bar none.

Yeah great to see a rare little glimpse of the great man in action. My mum is a massive fan of Bix Biederbecke, and the [i]only[/i] footage of him is one fleeting clip from a film made in the 20's of a big band he was in. That one clip is precious to mum, and she plays the DVD of it regularly, even though it's only a few seconds. Point is, modern heros are very much more accessable that the old ones, so rare old clips like this one are very important to us older folks. -
Beautiful Fernandes APB-5. I bought it as a backup to my Kinal which now appears to be on it's way out too, so I'm after a four stringer to back up the new bass coming in. Superb bass for the money, classic Jazz type honk, lovely neck, excellent build quality and playability, currently fitted with a set of DR Lo Riders. I've been using it in preference to the Kinal for some recording work recently. Narrow string spacing 16mm at the bridge. Fantastic bass, just not what I need right now, £225 for it please which is less than I paid There's no case, so a meet would be prefered. -
I'd be happy paying the asking price for that bass, even if it is top whack. I don't know what it is with Stingrays, the prices seem to go up and down like Jordan's knickers. When I was selling my 4 stringers I couldn't give them away, I ended up selling one for not much more than £600, which was below value in my opinion. A bass is only worth what someone will pay at the end of the day, and me, I'd pay the asking price for this one if I had the cash. -
Indeed so, that is sex on a stick. -
Yeah, to be honest I'm not a massive fan myself, but the missus is. I wasn't expecting much, but I was loving it from start to finish, great show, banter, great sound, it was just brilliant. The crowd were up for it, and the band seemed to be enjoying it too. Very surprised, but totally converted.

I'll miss this thread when it finally ends...... or should I say if........ -
They were absolutely fantastic last night in Manchester, great night, and with a rather fetching white MM SR5 and an Ashdown rig holding up the low end, brilliant.

Yeah you can't beat a good portrait of yourself with the bass, maybe black and white, maybe head and shoulders, and most importantly with a smile on your face. I don't care if it's for a death metal band or a jazz band, the other guys in the band will need to like the look of you first and foremost, so a smile will do it every time for me, I can't stand the mean and moody look.

Yes, unfortunately the buyer pulls all the strings now on ebay, so being a seller can be a nightmare for the reasons you point out. Difficult situation for you to retrieve I fear, you may be better trying to save the bass if possible and moving on as pointed out above. Ragging up the tension on a bass (or lowering it) needs to be done carefully (if at all IMO) and it sounds like your buyer has been very clumsy in trying it. What a pisser.

Never tried a CV Jazz, I really should, they look great.
-
Beautiful bass, wish I could afford it. Bump.

Here's the Steve Bailey bass.... Looks fantastic, never seen one in the flesh though.
-
Isn't the Fender Steve Bailey sig bass a 6er? I think it's fretless too.
-
They look nice, but the thing I've always likes about Stingrays is that they're a workhorse bass that can pick up a few dings at gigs and it doesn't matter, but I'd be afraid of taking one of those puppies down to the Millstone pub on Saturday night, for fear of scratching it.
-
Music Dojo looks great to me, I've also been thinking about it for a while. Adam Nitti is a top bloke and a great teacher, I'm sure Music Dojo would be a more value for money option, and worth a punt, because you won't loose a fortune if it doesn't float your boat.

Get on Talkbass and put a thread up airing your issue. That'd be my next move. Why can't people just hold their hands up and be straight? If there's a problem, just a quick message to fill you in is all it takes.

Mine was Japanese, but was from the late 70s. Great bass, heavy, but very nice tone.

[i]OH LORD[/i]......that's one sexy MF..... -
I went to see Paramore and hated the sound...
Rayman replied to Jigster's topic in General Discussion
The Smashing Pumpkins were the worst. I've seen hundreds of bands over the 30 or so years I've been going to gigs, but I was really looking forward to seeing them @ the Manc Apollo, and they were dreadful. A mate of mine had warned me that they would be terrible after he'd seen them before, and he was right. -
You can keep yer blinkin 1x8 super lightweight whatever mini cabs.......... nowt moves air better than a couple of ruddy great back breaking wardrobes the size of a small car with 1x15s in 'em.

I like it too, can I have it?

Actually, I take it back, it [i]is[/i] quite a good magazine, for lining the hamsters cage with.

Bass player has always been rubbish in my opinion. Once you've got all the adverts out of the way, there's very little content of any interest. BGM is head and shoulders above BP in every respect.
