[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1323693879' post='1465826'] Yeah, I'm not happy about that. I like to delete my bumps in my for sale threads... don't like to leave a mess! I hope this feature comes back very soon (hint hint) [/quote] I really like that idea. Stolen with thanks

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1323438477' post='1463401'] Should do the job. I'd speak to Alex & see what cab would suit you best. He does a 30 day satisfaction. [/quote] There are girls who will do satisfaction in a lot less time than that

Yeah that's what I thought too

Sounds like a more "generic" 5'er might be helpful then?

It's tonight!!! Will I being seeing any BC'ers tonight?

I tend to play more when I'm stressed as I find it's a great stress reliever. I like to focus on stuff in rough times

[quote name='NeilMorrell' timestamp='1323362493' post='1462528'] Not all skinny! [/quote] Image link is broken but the examples that I've given are what I've found for me. I know there are some exceptions but most are skinnier than I find comfortable.

[quote name='Chlo_treacher' timestamp='1323359708' post='1462468'] thats immediately a bit too 'jazz' for me I think and dont think my manager would let me 10 miles within any session but the p neck on a jazz body is something to think about. Chris was also talking about a p/j (ha pyjamas) pick up set up too which I might do. Maybe natural wood colour is a good option too. hmmm. Does anyone know which bass shops in london sell overwaters? I know the gallery sells the overwater by tanglewood basses but are there any places that sell the other series? [/quote] Which bit is too "jazz"? The fanned frets or the 5 string part. Both are quite common these days, is your manager really THAT worried about image? Surely if something sounds good and encourages you to be a better player (which is what it's all about really) then surely that would be enough?

If you like a PBass neck then why not ask for a P profile neck on a Jazz body? As for colours, if your not going with a wood body then check out Alsacorp, they do some awesome stuff Sticking a wenge neck on there would make it quite different for a jazz. I really love the sound of wenge and bubinga together (being a warwick fan) so I got that in my custom bass. Lovely growly sound. But bubinga is most definitely not light Usual advice applies really, try loads of basses and find what you like. Have you considered fanned frets or making it a 5 string? Check out some dingwalls for there take on a jazz bass and you'll see how different it can really be Most of all congratulations and have fun with it

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1323349926' post='1462282'] All Fenders. Not enough frets. Precisions in particular, stupid nut width, awful to play. [/quote] You see... Precisions I can play (or a reasonable attempt ) Jazzes are too skinny for me

I use the full scale auto-grip Hercules stand on stage

Currently using: ACG tuned CGCF MIM P bass tuned EADG Yamaha RBX6JM tuned BEADGC I DEFINITELY NEED MORE

Here's a thought, what about going and having lessons BEFORE picking a bass? Pick a teacher with a good selection of basses and make the teacher clear that you want help picking a bass that sounds and suits you best. Listen to the teacher play it, then you try. The teacher should be able to pickup technique faults as you go along and point out which one your are playing with the best technique naturally. This should be the best bass for you Then go out and find a similar bass in a shop. Everyone's different, for example I don't get on with skinny necks so that rules out a fair few basses for me: -Fender Jazz Basses -Almost anything Ibanez -A lot of peaveys BUT! A lot of people swear by all of those brands! It's all down to you but you need personal guidance through the selection process first time around if your going to be spending significant money. FWIW my first bass cost me £170 (Peavey Millennium BXP) but I outgrew it very quick as the skinny neck was giving me quite serious forearm ache. Moved to a MIM Pbass and loved it Now playing the MIM and an ACG in my 4 string range.

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1323343223' post='1462149'] My Yamaha makes a horrible clicking noise when I dig in on the E string, I tried evrything I can think of, buts its still there and can be heard in the mix too I presume I'm clagging the string so hard its either bouncing off another fret or the pup, but when I get into the choon the last thing I want to do is ease up [/quote] Have you considered putting something thin but spongy between the pickup and the string? A thin piece of rubber perhaps? Other than that lower your pickup, get higher tension strings, raise your action and reign in your technique

I generally prefer the sound of 10" speakers so I would go for 2 x 410s rather than 2x115s. Pick the one you prefer the sound of and get another one of those

Whoa! Great price on that!

Is it worth seeing if you can get onto Google+ as well?

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1323166789' post='1459906'] Why learn on a crap instrument if you can afford a good 'un? [/quote] Because if you can play a crap instrument and make it sound good then you can make anything sound good.

I wonder if this is because the page polls for updates (to notifications etc) so if it polls 3-4 times before you hit back that is how many times you have to hit back. Just a thought btw, no knowledge of the forum software currently

Get a mexican jazz, swap the neck out for a p neck then you'll have a Jazz and a Precision in your arsenal

Did think it might be the database rebuilding itself. Like I say, not a huge deal. Just really letting you guys know in case it escalates

The strange bit is that it works then disappears a day or so later

I've uploaded an image two or 3 times now (was in my sig) and it has gone missing every time, any ideas as to why?

You mean you haven't taught kid 1 to look after kid 2 yet?

Bass Merchant, maybe they sold some of their stock over?
