Weight doesn't bother me in the slightest. If its balanced, then its all good. Mine weighs around 8lb.

just fitted a set of status flats to my p, fisrt experience i have ever had with flats. I love them Very surprised at how different they feel, and how much easier they seem to play. They will certainly be stayin on for the time being, i could be tempted to go for some TI's though...

The 'How high is your action?' thread - get involved!
Kev replied to wateroftyne's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Kev' post='574959' date='Aug 20 2009, 12:06 AM']dunno how some of you guys play with such low action, i cant play a bass without really digging in Vintage icon v4, 45-105 standard tuning 1mm 3mm 3mm Medium i would say, although my technique doesn't really accommodate for any lower[/quote] Just strung on some status flats roughly the same guage. Made some adjustments so slightly different 1mm 2.5mm 2.5mm -
don't do a silent auction dude, stick a set price on it -
interparcel -2 f***ed up collections on the last 2 occasions i have used them. Its a shame because they have been so good in the past, but their customer service over these failed collections was just rubbish, and i have every reason to believe it is the way the liase with the courier companies, rather than the couriers themselves.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='594034' date='Sep 9 2009, 04:55 PM']Reading through this thread for the first time (missed it pre-resurrection) and the one thing I remember about trying several Vintage guitars a few years back is that they were all incredibly heavy. The Les Paul I tried must have been 12 or 13 lbs. Did I just get unlucky, or were the others heavy too, but you guys aren't fussed about that?[/quote] When i tried it against a mim p bass in the shop, the vintage felt about half the weight.

i am very happy with my vintage icon v4. Only complaint i had was that the pickups were not really the tone id like, but i swapped them out for some JV squier's, and now it plays and sounds as good as any p bass, and is very light too

all pm's replied to this is now SOLD -
back when i first started playing bass, i ordered an OLP off them. Two weeks later, they email me saying they are out of stock. Two weeks! Needless to say i cancelled my order, and never used them again.
-
Pickup screws sadly pass through the countersunk hole in the cover. I have ordered some anyhow from axesrus as i think the 1 inch strap button screws will work, we will see BTW, the cover matches the 'relicing' on my bridge cover very well, cheers

Advice on prices for Mex Fender and Warwick Rockbass
Kev replied to darwin's topic in Basses For Sale
il offer my 2 cents.. Im quite an eagle eye in terms of watching basses sell (and not buying them ) I would say a fair price for the mim fender would be around the £325-£400 mark, say £360. The rockbass i would probably expect £150-£200. Hope this helps -

okay im after cash for this now, £10 plus a couple of quid for postage will cover it
-
i have never made an offer on an item for sale without the seller giving me an indication of what he/she is looking for, and i have never sold an item to a buyer without letting them know what i am expecting. Pm's are of course fine for trade offers, but for cash offers its not what i like to get involved in, i go ebay for that.

tjust had an email reply 'sorry...i don't have any' am i going to have to settle for a non-chrome screw?

[quote name='SteveO' post='593046' date='Sep 8 2009, 04:53 PM']Forgot about this until it was resurrected, but here I come to screw up your stats: ... All measurements made on the E string. JV Squier 3rd: 2mm 12th: 10mm 17th: 11mm CY Squier 3rd: 1.5mm 12th: 7mm 17th: 8mm Yamaha RBX375 3rd: 1.5mm 12th: 6mm 17th: 7mm[/quote] JV squier GAS has just plunged -

i bought a Status energy with LEDs in the neck for £200. Didn't like it too much though so sold it on here for the same price. Iv never seen a bargain at cash converters. All the ones i have ever been trawl through ebay and google before buying any instrument off anyone so they work out its value.

[quote name='mattbass6' post='593020' date='Sep 8 2009, 04:32 PM']I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the very kind words from you all. It is appreciated and means a lot. I would hate for anyone to think that I was ever trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes, that is just not me and I really posted everything about this bass in good faith. Thank you for understanding all. I will keep you posted. Take care. Cheers, Matthew[/quote] Your a good man Best of luck with the sale, i think that is a very reasonable price and, cliche i know, if i had the money i really would go for it, gorgeous -

i don't understand why people are saying its badly priced because of second hand stingrays? If that was the case, why would anyone buy a mid-range bass new, because there will always be a better bass second hand for the same cash? Its like saying why buy a mim fender new when you can get a 2nd hand US one for a similar price. People like having new instruments, and the warranty that they come with. I repeat what i said, they have price the instruments well, IMO

i wouldnt really know what i was looking for, just the same width as a regular mounting/pickguard screw, but 25mm or so long
