Jumpin Jack Flash - anyone got any tips on how to sound good?
gary mac replied to Truckstop's topic in Theory and Technique
Shouldn't sound weedy with your Blazer and Ampeg set up. Don't understand is it just this number Alex? I've been playing it again recently in one of the covers bands and it sounds pretty full on. P Bass or sometimes my G&L through GB Shuttle and Mark Bass cabs. I play with a pick. Fretting mostly around the middle reaches of the neck. I'll pay attention to it properly at wednesday nights rehearsal ( I have to admit to playing this one on auto pilot) and report back. -

I've seen and handled some really horrible uninspiring Squiers but also had a few very very good examples. I think a fair few tend to be written off as poor due to a combination of cheap/nasty, knackered strings and a poor or non existant set up.

As others have already said, play it acoustically first. If it's a good un it will sing to you. Then I play each of the open strings and let it ring/resonate. Then I play each and every note/fret on each string in turn. That way I'll know if there are any dead spots, or any issues with the frets. I might then play a few licks but quite often not, once I'm back home it will get tunes played on it. I know we are all different but I'm not the least bit worried about what the sales staff or a private seller might think of my playing. Some of them will be better players than me and some wont be.

Squier 20th Anniversary Precision Bass. Limited edition 2002 affinity four string model, finished in blue. I know that the Affinity range might be a bit low brow for Bass Chat but this is a surprisingly good bass, so prior to putting it on EBay I thought I would see if any there was any interest on here. I’ve not gigged it but at home practise volume it sounds great. The truss rod works perfectly. The neck is good and free from dinks/dents. The fretwork is all good and there are no dead spots. I have cleaned the fret board and applied lemon oil. It is set up with a nice low action and is wearing a set of Fender Steel 45-105 strings, used but with plenty of life left in them. They sound really punchy but have lost that new zing. The condition of the body is generally good, although there are a few dings and scrapes which should be visible in the photos. The volume and tone controls function perfectly and are crackle free. The knobs are flat topped chunky fender type as opposed to the dome top ones normally associated with these instruments. The hardware although basic, functions as it should and there is no damage or visible wear. The pick guard is single ply white and has a couple of cracks which should be visible in the photos. I was intending to swap out the hardware and pimp this bass but I’ve now decided to leave it as it is and sell it on. Given that we are about to start some much needed home improvements I’m not going to have the time for this sort of project for a while and I can’t justify having another P bass knocking about the house. There is an American Ebayer trying to sell a similar one to this for about £390, which I think is a bit on the optimistic side, even though it is an anniversary model and presumably slightly more desirable/collectable. I was thinking of around [s]£145.00 [/s]but willing to consider offers. Price dropped to[s] £135.00[/s].[s] [b]£130.00[/b] [/s] [b]NOW ONLY £110.00[/b][b]. [/b]If it doesnt go to a new bass chat home in the next few days, I think I will be keeping it and maybe pimping it after all. I’m in Hertfordshire. Anyone interested in viewing and a coffee get in touch. Cash upon collection preferred. I can accept paypal but would rather not due to the fees. A bank transfer would be fine. Of course shipping can be arranged at additional cost.[attachment=100283:013.JPG][attachment=100285:015.JPG][attachment=100287:023.JPG][attachment=100288:024.JPG][attachment=100289:026.JPG][attachment=100290:027.JPG][attachment=100291:028.JPG][attachment=100292:030.JPG][attachment=100291:028.JPG][attachment=100292:030.JPG][attachment=100293:031.JPG][attachment=100292:030.JPG]
