the damn sansamp, im sick of hearing how i have to have one!, i caved got one and hated its mid sucking farty dist, the hartke floors it! (IMHO of course!)

You have NO idea how hard it was not to title this thread 'I need help finding a black knob' but i fought the temptation! Longshot........anyone know where i might find the old 80's style F stamped black knobs that came on the jazz bass special, fender esprit etc back then?????

sadly sold a year or so ago, but here she is, my rig of old

he has a point...

Thanks for coming on and sharing that with us Adrian, i for one am a HUGE fan of the mag and have every issue, (Still miss Bassist though) i kinda like the fact that it is a smaller more homegrown sorta mag it makes it feel more exclusive, i get bassplayer only occasionally, i find it just too American! FWIW i think the 'My bass is feature' from bassist should make a come back, hit me up for the story on my trusty old sonic blue jazz anytime!

Strangely ive gone back to the boss cs3 after trying the EBS and the aphex, i just prefer the squish and attack and find i can live with the noise due to the last pedal in the chain being a noisegate. I really want a fancy one, but just find the boss works for me.

I think Ishibashi have been stopeed selling new Fender Japan basses to the UK, i have owned several and have three at the mo, i totally love em and would recommend em to anyone, very high build quality and the tone and feel are spot on.

Ive also been lucky enough to do a few big 'uns, Birmingham Symphony Hall was big, and the SECC in Glasgow. in terms of coolness Hammersmith Apollo was pretty smart, and the Run To The Sun festival in Newquay. The smallest was legendary place in a smal town called Lutterworth near Leicester called the Hind, not much bigger than a snooker table but regularly full of shirtless sweaty teens tripping over you as you played, good times!

Prince was my 1st thought, the bass centre had one of his white ones up some time ago

I agree with everything he said, and they look ace too!,[i] might[/i] be selling mine in the next fortnight, i waited and saved sooo hard and long to get it im not sure i can bring myself to part with it yet, but im on a real block marker neck thang at the mo so i havnt decided. Great things though.

about what id figured, thanks guys, now to ponder......

This is NOT a veiled for sale ad as the neck is still very much attached and in use, but.... [i]If [/i]i decide to remove my pretty much mint status graphite neck from my jazz (its fitted with fretfx lights too!) does anyone have a clue what i should be asking for it? (sans tuners) It cost about a zillion pounds to buy and have fitted, but i know with the credit (cough-recession) crunch is probably worth about 7p now. Its only about twoish years old.

Its plastic, thanks guys, im a bit worried that the body may have faded apart from under the sticker, and of course theres no way to tell until its off, that said i could take the pickguard off and see if the colour under there is different

About eight yeats ago i stuck this sticker on my MIJ 62ri jazz and now i think ill remove it, but im worried that ill either damage the finish or there will be a dark patch? Anyone done this? heres the sticker:

Hey dude, i ve got the boss TU2 but find it sometimes a tad erratic and it used to ignore the low B on my old sixers, if i could afford it id be all over the strobostomp, but on the whole im still pleased with the boss tu2.

happy days!, told ya!

Ive got a black sparkle piezo ray, and ive never used the piezo either, sounds fine and very acoustic bass like, but thats not why i bought it!, a stunning bass though.

I found them very lacking in power also
