[quote name='Seb_C' post='417457' date='Feb 23 2009, 02:36 PM']I was looking at an Aria in the local shop on Saturday. Pretty fancy looking, but compaired to a Squier of the same sort of price range the build quality (neck pocket, pickup routes) looked pretty ropey.[/quote] was it a gt?? cant find anything to complain about on mine really! pocket and routing as good as any it seems.

guys gassing after the gt4/gt5's, seriously consider getting one, great basses. Il try n get some pics up of my black one soon, its gorgeous

[quote name='HarryPotter' post='416745' date='Feb 22 2009, 05:31 PM']As a newbie to bass myself (15 months in) I have 2 snippets of advice for you; i) DO NOT SUCCUMB TO THE EVIL THAT IS TAB!!! (TAB has it's place but it will help you in the long run if you learn the 'proper' notes and notation) ii) Find some guys to jam with, you will learn so much faster that way (and Bassists are always in demand) Good luck it's great [/quote] i completly disagree with i) and say tabs are the absolute best way to start learning songs nice bit of kit youv started yourself out on, have fun!

the body needs to be scaled down, looks kinda rubbish as it is, but the concept is cool! A scaled down body would look awesome i think, go for it if your confident enough!!

the whole bass looks cheap, and chances are they are gunna translate to £400 over here, £300 of which your paying for flea's signature. It will sell very well no doubt, but it will not be a £400 bass

[quote name='yorick' post='415465' date='Feb 20 2009, 03:53 PM']In the Bass player article Flea says he going to be using these basses exclusively!!! No jazz, modulus or stingrays to be seen...... But for how long?????[/quote]

[quote name='bumfrog' post='415459' date='Feb 20 2009, 03:50 PM']well judging by his picture all over the website, I'd say they were very much endorsed by him....[/quote] i meant he wont be using one on stage, they look like basses for kids...

hmmm, i hope they are cheap, who makes them?? They aint flea endorsed are they?

huddersfield, iirc???

[quote name='gafbass02' post='412450' date='Feb 17 2009, 09:20 PM']cheers dude id love that! Where is bassassin?, its not normally this long a japcrap thread stays this quiet! It def seems to be of a much higher quality than most. the brass plate under the pickups is very nicely wired up and the finish is much thinner than the modern thick ones.[/quote] he was the first replier

i really wanna give one of these a try:

just bought my ls-2, wonderfully easy transaction, would do business again!
