    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1339874566' post='1695849'] Of course if you buy a Wal with the money that I give you for a Squier or Streamer then I could have another different bass in the house. [/quote] hmmm...

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1339875265' post='1695857'] When you posted this, the bass was already in my house while I was playing with the Richt Hoat Chillis at Whistle Binkies [/quote] hmm next time you should tell me where your house is... and when you'll be out!

    Thinking about the music I listen too.... I kinda always want to buy a 4 string jazz, as that's what's on the funk records I listen too. But not much I listen too uses 5's. I like the [i]idea[/i] of a 5 string though, or even 6 if it's a TRB

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1339872210' post='1695796'] A bit flat is how I would describe it too, right now. Maybe it *is* flat sounding. I plugged in my Squier VM Jazz and it was much more alive... but then the strings are much more alive too. I'm not a big fan of bound fingerboards, but this one feels ok. No sharp edges here. It seems like a lot of bass for the cash, even if it ends up needing a new pickup or two, especially since I already have a good MM type in my parts drawer. [/quote] Yeah, I don't know how I felt about it, it was very underwealming the one I played. Just a bit colourless, not got the energy and spring a good jazz bass has. The price you got it for though it's worth experimenting with esp if you already have the pup.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1339847901' post='1695323'] Well the Wal would make three basses and you only need two (says the man with... 'lots of basses' ), so I'll take one of the others off your hands (that'll be 'lots +1' then ). [/quote] don't tempt me!

    Warwickhunt, i've noticed this thread since it was posted- but for the life of me I never expected you to have two Fender MM jazzes! and in that photo... is that a rick behind the sofa too?

    ahhh, glad someone on here got it. I played the 5 string they had in scayles a while back when I was jazz bass shopping- the way I was looking at it was this was the almost top of the line made by the same folk that make lakland skyline- at not so much money. The whole humbucker/single coil thing intreaged me too. The one I played was ok. I came away thinking that with a bit of a set up, the neck edges rolled a bit it would play better. I also was trying it through one of those Fender TV amps, which have a certain amount of colour to them.... and it still sounded flat. I thought of getting it and sticking new pups and pre in it... but in the end never got one. The one you picked up was tempting me for a bit mind!

    suscribed. the only 5 strings I've played have had crappy B strings, interested in this

    [quote name='Mickbass86' timestamp='1338538506' post='1675898'] £375 is as far as I can go. Any further would be ridiculous! Been trying to sell this bass for months and months and still cant shift it. I have a fender jazz now that I predominantly use and need the money to pay for a deposit on my new house. That's why I cant go any lower than £375! It's a mint bass that deserves to be played! [/quote] you ever thought that £425 is also a great price and you go find a secondhand hard case and then post? or even just go into a local guitar shop and get one of their bass boxes?
  12. LukeFRC
    i had this head for a while till I lent it to someone who lost it. It sounds brilliant!
  13. LukeFRC
    that's quite a nice bass... and just across the water! looking around for things to sell...

    [quote name='the hand of john curley' timestamp='1339840098' post='1695124'] Erm just to be clear, that wasn't aimed at you Si!!!!!! �� [/quote] why not?

    [s]Rockson Analogue Delay. AD-80 Nice analogue delay, from what I can make out it's a korean make from the 80's. It's called an AD-80 but I'm pretty sure it's not the same circuit as the Maxon/Ibanez AD-80 Nice warm analogue delays, simple to use, nice snapback type echo sound at lower levels, goes mental if you turn everything up (in a good way), generally warm and nice sounding. As you might have guessed from my description I don't really use it much hence the sale. Saving up for a ACG pre so no trades. I swapped a guitar for it, so lets say £34 posted ONO?[/s]

    [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1339833039' post='1694991'] Link? [/quote] Edinburgh.gumtree.com type cort bass in the search box...
  17. LukeFRC
    like it says, cort gb74 on the ed gumtree at £150- which is a reasonable amount of bass for the money
  18. LukeFRC
    for some reason i keep coming back and looking at this, very nice it is too. not got a clue how these things sound but the looks are growing on me, have a bump!
  19. LukeFRC
    I did wonder why the post for a fender jaguar got bumped to the top so much. in edinburgh they would call him a fanny. In glasgow they would have just punched him in the face.

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1339790197' post='1694542'] They were just ash bodied. It's the relic work that's hard in the UK. apart from Clive Brown (Long waiting list), I haven't seen any work that is good enough for what I want, unless anyone knows different?? [/quote] oh right, not what I read, in print and someplace on here, Bass Doc maybe? meh well the other thread says body wood makes no difference!

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1339774010' post='1694187'] Thanks Steve, Well, it's unlikely I'll find a real one for sale, so I've decided to make my own. I've already got great self-made/assembled versions of my '52, '56 & '58, so figured why not. I'm slowly gathering the parts, although I'm very choosy about the authenticity of components. So far, i have a maple cap neck (Hardest thing ever to source!), original 6609 pots, wiring and jack(Had to be 6609), original '66 blackguard with shield (Apparently came off a slab, which is believable, otherwise it would have the thubrest holes above?), original '66 neckplate, original '66 tuners, original '66 string tree, original '66 bridge and saddles, original '66 chrome covers, original '66 thumbrest. I just need the body and the pickups. The body is the easy bit, albeit the pricey part. I was hoping to get one made in the UK, but looks impossible to my specs, so i will go to the US for that. Hoping to have it all completed by September, can't wait to start assembling it!! [/quote] ah! you're making one of the slab ones, cool? tulip wood? or was it magnolia? I'm surprised you can't find anyone in the UK who would make it for you, theres a couple of folk on here who make bodies.

    did i see this when it was first built in a build or porn thread? i thought it was one of the coolest looking basses then, and I do now. little dosh so have a bump on me

    [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1339770211' post='1694083'] I am determined when my hands a better to finish the one I started made from two bed headboards and a thin strip of mahogany and an MDF guitar. I did see somewhere the other day a thread where a couple of guys are building guitars Dano style with a Ply frame and MDF . But why would someone build something like that for commercial gain? As soon as someone seen it it would get bashed on the internet and they would lose custom. Instant marketing fail. [/quote] I wanted years back to make a ply body guitar like that (MDF would be too heavy I think) and got a fair number of people on here advising me not too.

    [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1339766759' post='1694010'] Oh here! I do know something after all... 18 pages over 18 months & still no one has given a definite answer that the majority agree on! & if tonewood is important, what about full carbon bass? Does it sound the same as a bass made out of used firewood? [/quote] If I were a bass builder I would market the used firewood as "Roasted Ash" and charge extra for it

    the 'standard' bass Eq point on a lot of the standard bass on board preamps is around 40Hz. Glockenklang 30Hz and 100Hz on a Warwick.
