no, i hear all the really really cool bass players play candy apple red

nice silver sparkles. all the cool bassists have silver sparkle basses

i tried one of these in a shop, they are very nice. if i had my JV squier stolen and couldn't find another the insurance money would buy one of these. they are nice

works for a P bass doesnt it?


some 1980's jazzes had this set up, moon guitars in glasgow have one in second hand at the mo like it

there's one in the forsale section. looks lovely

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='968997' date='Sep 26 2010, 11:27 PM']Just hoping they stumble across it. If they still have it.

I've just finally got round to tweaking the 75, and it's going nowhere.[/quote]

i played a 75ri in guitarguitar yesterday. bloomin lovely!

[quote name='Kev' post='968837' date='Sep 26 2010, 09:17 PM']For the moment, as i am very interested in the Streamer Stage 1 thats for sale at the moment, i may accept the cash for this until that has gone [/quote]

you may want to say how much!

thats no that bad warwickhunt, compare that to a guitar balanced ontop of an amp on the front of a stage with the curtains pulled, (the band are set up below the stage on the floor, its a school hall hired for church) fine, then someone opens the curtains on the stage so the pa gear can be stashed.
curtain catches bass.... 2m drop to a hard floor.

the sick feeling is the fact you see the thing fall in slow motion

im on a horse

there are a number of things annoying me
one- once my warwick goes (if it goes) this would be within the realms of affordability
two- you keep bumping it to tempt me!

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='968973' date='Sep 26 2010, 11:05 PM']That's the one. Thought it had sold.

Wonder if they'd straight swap it out? It's been there a while.

HINT HINT.[/quote]

who you hinting too? do they read this, if it's to me, i've only got my warwick to swap, and i wouldn't want your ricky, maybe your '75ri....

hehehe.. anyway

i found the page on google, they may have sold and just not taken the page down, just not linked to it.

this ricky for a p bass that will make you look like sting?

[quote name='paul n' post='968956' date='Sep 26 2010, 10:53 PM']i know it is mate but i need the money for something i cant go any lower than this as what i want to buy is £475 but i do really need the sale hence the price[/quote]


i agree with stacker.
what is it you're after? another bass?

i remeber reading a interview with the guy from greenday, they were talking about what he liked playing, he was raving aout the jazz stuff he played in his free time. They asked him what he found interesting about playing bass in greenday, his reply was something like, i play it simple but then can add the odd wee part in which i enjoy.
the bass fits the music.

I think it's a natural thing for bass players to love bass, listening to your myspace, it all fits the music but all the music is very led by the bass. If you're not used to that, or that isn't how you see music exactly then of course you're going to want the bass player to be a bit more simple.
My natural instinct is to play about and fill space (overplay), one of the most usefull learning experieces for me was playing at church. On the spot learning of songs, playing with lots of different folk and the challenge of creating awesome basslines that don't sound like you're trying to play awesome basslines. It's all about the space, simplicity and the feel of the song. (james jamerson- simple basslines? no fit the song? yes). In my opinion part of being a good musician is hearing what is right for the song. You have to love the music more than the bass, and if that means root notes for most the song. so be it.

i would if i hadn't just found out I didn't want an active bass.
have you tried on the status forum? type statii into google....

that is a stunning bargin! if i was after an active jazz i would!

are you sure you want to sell that?? it's a stunner, and the right colour for you!

I just got 2 sets of DR fat-beams posted to me the day after i ordered them for £47 from stringstar.... not bad. im impressed.

otherwise status strings are good

except the jazzmaster was the older brother i think

[quote name='Delberthot' post='966332' date='Sep 24 2010, 06:53 AM']While I have no doubt that this is likely to be a very well made bass having owned a few of the VM Jazzes, I don't get it.

The Fender version has series/parallel switching, active EQ etc whereas this is merely another PJ bass. If Fender had designed this to have Squier produce a cheaper version of the Jaguar with active EQ etc then I could see this being a great bass but as it is, I don't see it adding anything.

I'm not normally negative when it comes to these things, it has hotter pickups than standard but that's something that could be changed anyway.[/quote]

but squier only do one other PJ bass, and this looks cooler. I think they possibly are aiming folks buyin thier first bass. and coolness goes a long way. also if you're out to buy your first bass then you are unlikely going to be thinking of swapping the pups.

Personally I owuldn't buy a Fender Jaguar bass, why, because of all the daft switches everywhere

To my ears some things sound better than others. Other people are different.
I don't really have any problem with this.



It will cost more to make a guitar in small batches than in a small batch and less again on a production line.
It will cost more to make something in USA than Japan and less again in china.

The done correctly volume of construction shouldn't actually decrease the quality (and could even increase it) However probably there will be a higher tolerance for imperfections.

If a man in a city makes a company who make a bass, and sell it at a cost they set- if you want that/like that , fine buy it.
If another man in another city can make a similar product but does things dfferently, or pays his staff less or automates more or has bigger runs to get savings in volumes, he can set another price. If you like the bass fine, buy it.

The rest of this discussion is crap. If you have a sadowsky and don't like it, sell it. If you dont have a sadowsky and dont like it, dont buy it. If you don't have a sadowsky but want 'that sound' save up and buy, if you want another sound then look at other makes.

No given that anyhting from the USA seems to be a wee bit higher priced, compared to what warwick or status charge within the EU sadowsky arn't that daft prices imo

[quote name='bubinga5' post='966171' date='Sep 23 2010, 10:01 PM']anyone got doubts about the Sadowsky tone..oh yes its the Mezzoforte tune again...the "in the mix" sound is good enough imo.. but when he solos the Sadowsky tone its unbeatable..the slap and pop tone is very special.

i love the sound of this bass...i will get another Sadowsky one day...

i think it sounds as good outside the mix as in..poss the best distinctive super jazz sound available today IMO...

ok you may not like the feel and it didnt feel right 'in the shop' what a crock of XXXX..in the right hands a sadowsky is a beast...

just my $

proof that even a drummer can make a decent sound from a sadowsky!

1- lose the foam
2- DR high beams, or some other round wound string
3- it's passive unlike the schecter- the main difference will be that you will need to whack the gain up on your amp.
4- don't be afraid to hit the strings hard.
5- you want a more attacking tone, lose the bridge cover and play back there.
6- If you go back to the schecter remeber to turn the gain back!

i quite enjoyed that video

[quote name='Clarky' post='964073' date='Sep 22 2010, 08:18 AM']Looking over the FS boards, i[color="#8B0000"][b]ts evident there isn't much money floating around.[/b][/color] I appreciate £1500-odd is a lot of dosh so I would potentially consider another part-cash trade as long as the cash was in the majority.

Not really trying to add to my bass collection but I would consider a vgc s/h 2008/9/10 (non-S1) American Std Jazz (only in oly white or sunburst) as part-ex. Very specific I know but I don't like many colours, only want a USA Fender (snob), and I have a lovely P bass already.[/quote]
