dong get me wrong, i love my fenders... but. everyone i have met owning a US made fender, (including guitars) of which is older than a few years has terribly worn frets! now, i had a music man SUB taht i played the sh*t out of for 4 years solid. stainless roto's; and no fret wear what so ever. also i have an old jaguar import, 1996. no fret wear! yet my US jazz which has has a very easy life, has started to show ageing in the frets. a few guitarist i know have has the same problem, really badly worn frets on there strats and teles' so fender... why? any one els had this problem. or is it that all Pompey fender owning musicians play with a very heavy hand.

Its the best playing bass that I have owned and although the sound maybe isnt as refined or 'hi-fi' as the higher end section of basses. However this all adds to the amazing voice this bass has. I nearly sold/traded it a few times but always stayed with it. Im very glad I have. My Ric on the other hand...............MAKE ME AN OFFER [/quote] I also love my jag, its the worlds fastest bass to play. really unrefined, bad electronics, odd design. completely love'able.

4/500 pound discount for a 5 min clean! if i lived near buy i would have got it, clean it and sell it.take good photos instant profit!

My Rickenbacker always wanted one since i started playing bass. could not be more happy with it. its a work of art, and the epitome of rock and roll!

Why the he'll! 820. Thats so cheap!

Make of that what you will [/quote] There made in the rotosound factory (there was a rotosound QC card in a legacy box)

I tried some 'alice' strings, they are made in china and "are brilliant for music lovers and enthusiasts" ha they didn't really feel good, and made my USA HW1 not sound as good as it could! Has any one used some cheepo strings that are good? i always feel more inspired to play when i have fresh sounding wire.

Ohh!, thats shop is in fearham! nice! ill buy some for one of my basses and yes ive sold basses before falling out with em... they needed new strings. i think i knew in the back of my mind though ha/

Will do! I think it also compleats the look

They can be retro-fitted and now with the Classic series they are available again. I bought my mutes/springs from Mark at Bass Direct. The bridge needs to come off to fit them. They cost me all of £25 delivered [/quote] Thanks man!, robert
