I had the identical model - was a great bit of kit - only sold to get Korean Corvette which i equally love. Great bass mate, congrats

What a great guy and player

gigged one for a while - and the loud and heavey comment is spot on. 100% reliable though - a great cheap purchase

My recently sold OLP was a cracker, cost me 69 quid on Ebay

[quote name='Fuzzbass2000' timestamp='1333109775' post='1597523'] It's odd - a couple of the Denmark St shops seem to have had a refit and there are a few new ones - and one with quite a few basses (including lots of Nash's). Can't remember the name - but pretty basses. [/quote] It's called Westside i think - does a great range of Schecter basses.

[quote name='phil625sxc' timestamp='1333112981' post='1597611'] have lots of fun with chords & extra harmonics and the other possibilities it opens up - and then remember not to use most of them on a gig unless it's appropriate !! :-) [/quote] ...guilty at last nights gig of adding in low notes where they weren't really needed - i'm sure i'll sort myself out by the next gig! :-)

Thanks Faithless for the Joe Hubbard advice

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1333086576' post='1597057'] Dude it took me about a year to be brave enough to gig my 6 for the first time, sounds like you're doing well! I'm actually more at home on a 6 string these days but still love playing the old 4 banger as much as I can [/quote] Thanks dude - i did take a 4 with me as well....just in case :-) [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1333086576' post='1597057'] Strangely enough because I too went from 4 to 6... I am absolutely hopeless on a 5 string! What's with that ? [/quote] Me too - i don't get on with 5's - may give it another go at some point

well, i gigged the 6 for the first time last night - apart from me over using the newly available lower notes a bit, it was great and i feel right at home using it - just need a comfortable strap now...it's a wee bit heavier than my other basses

awesome!

hateful things, never use them. :-) Actually i use a mixture - Trace Elliots for the headless, Warwicks for headed and the 6 'er

i like pictures 1 and 2

wow - i like the singlecuts

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1332878973' post='1594448'] I'm not so keen on going for something like the GWB35 [/quote] It was only a suggestion

[quote name='Raggy' timestamp='1332838405' post='1593640'] If you buy the Vintage, (as you say its not exactly what you want), you'll always be thinking of the Squier. Keep saving. [/quote] What he said!

for 4 string - 35-95 Rotos/Warwick Reds (and Trace Elliots on the Headless) for the 6'er, currently has a set of Elixirs on, probably put a set of Warwick Reds on next

I had one of the Jazz basses, only thing that let it down were terrible squeely microphonic pickups. Other than that it was a nice bass. Go for it!

my guess is a Yamaha?

And just for reference, there's a brand new one on eBay for £689.

Doesn't look as nice as the 5
