I do actually know what you mean James, I think its a very personal thing to do with the size and shape of your hands as well as the relative proportions of a neck.
Two that spring to mind instantly are Musicman Bongo's and Hohner "The Jack" basses. Both felt as if I could run around them all day. Unfortunately my technique doesnt allow for such tomfoolery so I've stuck with my Jazz which fights me for every note! (In the very best way!) -
I played one down at the bass Gallery not so long ago (at least I'm pretty sure it was a combustion!)
I can only give you the usual ten minute shop noodle review but I remember the mids being very forward, not for me but great for burpy growl! -
I seem to remember the bass player from does it offend you, yeah? playing a Squire telebass at Glastonbury '08
-
Also, are these RRPs the actual prices? Or is it the kind of RRP we can expect to pay around 10% less?
-
I don't suppose you've been able to compare these to Elixirs have you?
-
5 string contemporary Jazz... mmm! One of these and a Sterling Ray34 and you've possibly could the worlds greatest value for money setup that'll take you through any situation!

[quote name='BassBunny' post='1111834' date='Feb 1 2011, 11:49 PM']I've recently acquired this amps big sister, the 210 and have to agree about the tone [/quote]
Who'd have thought! Is the Marleaux/Carvin Still going strong?!
and thats great news JMT! -
No longer a feeler go for it!
-
I've recently acquired this amps big brother, the 212 and I can attest the tone is to die for
-
The 70's wound Fender ones I have at the moment do quite a nice punchy P tone. I'll try and do a recording for you at some point in the next few days Clarky

Are those Seymour Duncans? I thought these came with Bartolinis?

Hey there,
Just wondered if there would be any interest in this. I'm really enjoying it but I need to focus on my bass playing for the foreseeable future!
Its a beautiful Burl faced number with strings across the front face and built in pickup and Pre-amp. I'll also be including an Embroidered Meinl slip cover.
I've only had it for a few months so I'd be wanting £170 posted for it.
I dont have any photos to hand but can get some for any interested parties!
Its this model here - [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/25503-meinl-pickup-cajon-caj8mb-m.html"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/2550...n-caj8mb-m.html[/url] -
You really showed that sandberg who's boss! Nice!

When I was 16 all my gear was coming from you and Mikeh, so +1! -
[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1100760' date='Jan 24 2011, 01:34 PM']I'd like to see it go toe to toe with my 1450 Ampeg Watts.[/quote]
I'd liek to see it go toe to toe with a little mark tbh. -
Well known on here, but maybe not in the general day to day of bassiness, the Peavey T-40 is along similar lines.

Oh, and unless you're super rich I suggest not commissioning a bass untill you've at least owned a P, a J, an MM, a Warwick, a Ric... and played through the same rig, the one you'll never change, you know? All those basses can be bought second hand and sold at little or no loss. That way when you do go in with 2k in hand and a glint in your eye you'll know why you don't want a bass that has found its way onto stages all over the world, and trust me (and a whole load of other members on BC who have gone through 20+ basses) there usually really is a good reason why the big names mentioned above are, well, big names!
-
Ahhh... this is really interesting. Let me get back to you agter the weekend!
-
You can't try a custom bass before its built!
Many people have vague ideas of what they'd like but untill its finished and in your hands its all speculation.
Edit: Homer beat me to it! -
Lovely! my little music corner -
[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1095098' date='Jan 19 2011, 01:19 PM']Update yer signature then! [/quote]
Yeah, Keep meaning to do that! I've made some very substantial changes recently... -
[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1095073' date='Jan 19 2011, 12:59 PM']You really should... somehow I got ever the Ibanez thing straight away - probably because it isn't written anywhere on the combo.
I'm consistently amazed by mine, both as a combo and a head.[/quote]
Fortunately I've just bought a new amp so I shouldn't need to try anything for a while now!
Never say never though... -
I always run music through my bass cabs (Usually on the day I get them, Just to see what happens! )
The only two that spring to mind as being any good where a BFM omni 10 and a Schroeder 1212

[quote name='Jamesemt' post='1113586' date='Feb 3 2011, 10:34 AM']Funny you should say that - I've got two Hohner Jacks although prefer the neck on the humbucker early ones[/quote]
If your ever getting rid of one let me know!
