  1. What about strings? Can make a huge difference to the sound and feel and might be a most cost effective upgrade
  2. Hope you get over this and get your gear back.
  3. That is light for for a VMJ, you wont have any problem shifting this one. I had to stop playing my VMJ because of shoulder/neck problems. Then I discovered that I could gig my deluxe p bass, which is heavier without the pain. So guess it must have been something to do with the way the Jazz hangs and the off set shape. Might get another Jazz one day for those sitting down gigs
  4. [quote name='slobluesine' timestamp='1335516813' post='1632365'] thx gary mac [/quote] No problem. Howard made me a single ply black p/g for my G&L.
  5. Nice looking bass Giamma. Maybe I shouldn't interfere but here goes, given the vintage nature and price, you will probably get a lot more interest with a bit more detail and more pics. Good luck though
  6. The Bass Doc is yer man.
  7. Happened here a couple of years back. The falling bass missed my wife by a gnats and ended up on the floor. She got all narky cos I comforted the bass before her. Strange things women. Fortunately, no damage to either model
  8. "Clarky" Hell, I've been playing all these years and didn't realise that one could play up that end of the neck.
  9. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1335431726' post='1630844'] John Bercow? No, he's a twat. [/quote]
  10. Can't believe these are still here bump. I thought there was a lot of love for these strings on Bass Chat, so maybe I've priced them wrong £20 inc post O.N.O.
  11. Loads of M80 love here Lozz but I already have one. Have a bump
  12. The bass playing on most of the Wailers stuff. It sounds so simple and it kind of is but the feel and the space just really do it for me.
  13. How many BC'ers feel as left out and bereft as I do? There was me at home with a miserable migraine
  14. Love their version of Delilah and the dance routine he did with Zal
  15. What a fine chap. Thanks for the offer, can't think of anything but I'm sure others will
  16. [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1334969221' post='1624318'] Tempted but I just got osme Rotosounds 77's and I currently have more sets of stings than basses! [/quote] Bout time you treated yourself to another bass then, get things balanced up again.
  17. Have you already got the bits and pieces that you want, or you asking where to get them from? Check out some of the build threads, plenty of good info and advice.
  18. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1334941983' post='1623906'] It's very nice, I... wait a minute, it's a Jazz Bass!? What's going on?? [/quote] My thoughts as well. Nice one though John and even better when you get your prefered strings on.
  19. i've played a couple of open air gigs on large stages with the same amp as you and I two Markbass 2 x 10"'s. Didn't go through the P.A. Infact it was all pretty much our standard gig set up, ( can't recall what the P.A. was) Anyway volume wasn't a problem. The problem I encountered was with my amp cutting out. It was a momentary thing but happened a number of times during the gig. I thought at first that the amp was playing up but realised after a while that it was something to do with the generator. The amp has never missed a beat on any other occassion, indoors or out, just that one gig with the generator. Sorry can't tell you why it happened, although I suspect the supply was just not consistent enough. I suppose the advice would be look for a high spec generator, if there is such a beast.
