    [quote name='PURPOLARIS' timestamp='1321118391' post='1435589'] We play a mixture of music from Coldplay, Waterboys, Oasis, The Jam, Bowie, Nirvana, Floyd, anything really but mainly rock and indie type songs. We go down well in pubs as we're not an "in your face" type band, the punters can still have a chat as they tap their feet to the music. [/quote] Great stuff, I like that approach

    On a side note, I also play in an acoustic band although I play electric bass as I just think it works better for me. I have a Washburn AB10 (in the for sale section) and have recorded with a fretless AB20 and both are excellent so I am sure the Stu Hamm AB40 will be top notch. What sort of music do you do in your acoustic group?

    [quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1321061110' post='1435130'] Out of interest can anyone advise how these compare to a Streamliner - which is currently in my sights [/quote] I can't speak personally about the Streamliner but I did have a Shuttle 6 and now the Shuttle 9. I think they are quite similar tonally but the Streamliner does not have the three presets which for me are vital. The three presets can be run indiviually or combined. One button boosts the bass, another button boosts the highs and another button cuts the mids. I think these buttons have been great when running the amp flat as I usually do but could do with just boosting the bass or the highs. I am sure someone with a Streamliner will come along and explain in more detail the pros and cons of one.

    Damn, I was only talking to my wife last night saying I would love to get a bass of my year of a birth (1970) and I think knowing where i have progessed to in my bass playing, it would have to be a 1970 Fretless Fender Precision. If only I had the money and if only you were selling the 1970's model

    [quote name='charic' timestamp='1320318600' post='1425170'] Strangely I struggle to tap my foot when sat down [/quote] You would hate my band then. I play in an acoustic band that has no drummer and we play sitting down. So not only am I the beat, I have to tap my foot sitting down and in different repertitions depending on the different parts of the songs

    Bump for new trade options. Would be happy to trade for a NS WAV 4 or NS NXT 4 plus cash your way.

    I have now heard back reagrding the availablility of this bass and sadly Fender have confirmed it is discontinued Nice to see the Fender website is kept up to date.
  17. Linus27
    I would say either, anyone who has an original '51 Precision or maybe anyone who has the James Jamerson Re-issue Precision. Either of those would make me happy. As for a bass I know of, then probably Telebass's 51 Precision re-issue which I believe is in yellow.

    I contacted my local music shop the other day just to see if it is possible to get these and they think they can but will confirm price and delivery tomorrow. So I will let you know if they are actually available.

    [quote name='plankspanker' timestamp='1320603191' post='1428875'] What would you be asking for the head and cabs, please? [/quote] Hiya, I am afraid the cabs have now been sold.

    Just say that your not enjoying music at the moment and not getting anything out of it. Something about getting a bit bored with playing music and just fancy some time away, having a break and taking on a new fresh non musical challenge. Plus say that you will honour any booked gigs etc.

    Thanks to both of you. I have thought long and hard about selling this as they are so good but I really need the funds to go towards a NS WAV/NSX or a combo maybe.

    Thanks for the help everyone. Really useful and I know twice as much now as I did yesterday As for style of music then I would say fairly Motown. The bass line is simple but effective but would really suit a a double bass tone. Budget is quite small at this stage but only because I don't know how much I am going to use it. No point spending a grand plus if its only going to be used for one track. So with this in mind, I may go with the NS WAV/NSX to have around the house to noodle and practise on but when it comes to recording, I will hire a real double bass. I have the evolving bassist book/DVD but I will also get ''about the double bass - a players guide' by peter tyler and spend the next few months practising and who knows, if I get into it, then I can up my budget and get something better. Thanks for your help everyone.
