Thanks a lot for that Major, I'll be in touch.

Well of course, Alan's beautiful Shuker, seen above, is a steal, so I'd jump on that if I had the cash. On the Fender front, I've had a Geddy, a Marcus Miller, a Highway One, and now an older late 80s Japanese Fender Jazz. I honestly couldn't fault any of them. The H1 was a cracker, but I think the first Marcus I had was the best of them all, it was superb in every way. For me, any of the Japanese made Fenders I've had have been absolutely faultless.

Nice Fender Jazz, that's what you need.

A quick head up for Parcelfarce. Plenty of people have had problems, but I personally have sent loads of basses straight from the post office via Parcelforce 48 and never had an issue, usually delivered next day, and so far, touch wood, perfectly intact basses every time. Usually around 20 quid though.

I've heard anonymous samples of a Bacchus with Nordies and an Avella and been hard pressed to tell which was better quality. My own personal view is that it probably comes down to feel and playability more than anything.[/quote] Exactly right. I've heard (and played) some real top end stuff, on paper, but many of those basses were soulless. It doesn't have to be expensive to hit the spot. I've played some low/mid priced basses and totally loved them. One of the nicest, grooooviest basses I've had my hands on in recent years was a Schecter Model T, should've kept that one.

Yeah funky baby...love that bass too, what is it ESP? That's my favourite colour, I loved my Lake Placid Blue Lakland DJ4. I can only dream of playing a fraction as well as that, I wish I could groove like that I really do, that's awesome playing.

Why do I keep going back to the red Precision? I really fancied that when you had it up for sale, I get serious vibes from it.

Nice. I reckon that custom Jazz just needs some TLC to make it great. I can't recommend the H1 Jazz highly enough, mine was a real cracker.

Yeah, Mono are nice too.

Welcome along, this is a great place to be. Can't say the same about Manchester though.
