I've sometimes been a bit nervous about international deals, but David is a top bloke and made buying my new Audere extremely easy. Really accommodating with great communication. Fantastic! Cheers!

Abe Laboriel Jnr is one of those drummers that you just wish live in your town. He's as good to watch as he is to listen to.

Up for trade (possibly for sale) is this lovely Stingray Ltd Ed 5 string in Forest Green with Mother of Pearl PG and black headstock. Condition is very good and in many respects it is excellent. The only signs of wear that any potential new owner needs to be aware of is some very mild tarnish on the pole pieces, slight buckle rash on the rear of the body which can just be seen on the photo below and a very small chip in the finish below the bridge which measures about 1.5mm-2mm in size. It weighs in at about 9.5Ibs on my bathroom scales and comes with the standard Ernie Ball hardcase. The only reason for sale is that this was very much a trial, not knowing whether I wanted variety away from a jazz type bass, but I think at heart I'm just a jazz guy. Having said that, the P bass tone is growing on me++++ Trade options: 1) 4/5 string fretted superjazz (+ cash from me) 2) 4/5 string fretless jazz 3) P bass (fretted) (I'd put trade / sale value at somewhere in the region of [s]£850[/s] [s]£800[/s] now £750) Please contact me if you have any questions and thanks for looking.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='1325378' date='Aug 3 2011, 10:52 AM']It takes more than the bass to get 'that tone'.[/quote] Absolutely agree, but getting that tone would be near on impossible with a Stingray or a P bass or a jazz; you get my point?

I've watched the dirty loops vids more times than I'm prepared to admit and they've certainly given me TRB-gas! Having sold a Status 6 string not that long ago declaring that 6 strings just weren't for me, I'm considering a U-turn just to get 'that tone'.

A solo without a slap or a pluck in sight, oh the joy!!

Hi Allistair, I see you still have the Eden and managed to pair it up with a 410 xlt! Your dream rig? The MB has served me extremely well, but I've decided to go for something a bit more 'coloured'! Thanks for the recommedation

BUMP - forgot to say that there's a carry case included in the price.

MB LM II in perfect working and excellent cosmetic order. For sale at £350 Trade for Ashdown ABM Evo 500 (? + a bit of cash). Would also consider a combo with 10's or 12's. Just in case you're interested in moving on a whole rig I might also throw my Epi 410UL (S1) into the equation. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks [attachment=84242:DSC00359__50__.JPG] [attachment=84243:DSC00360__50__.JPG] [attachment=84241:DSC00358__50__.JPG]

[quote name='chris_b' post='1279465' date='Jun 23 2011, 10:54 AM']Rhonda Smith 10/10, that solo 2/10.[/quote] +1 10 seconds of solid groove, would eclipse 10 hours of that .....noise she was producing for the first minute or two. She's better than that, surely?

That is such a beautiful fretless tone. I usually abhor the 'if only it had one less string' type comments, but in this instance I'd be the one saying it! Such a shame it comes so close to me swearing I wouldn't touch another 6 string for a while. Have a BUMP for a gorgeous bass at what, to me at least, seems to be an absolute bargain price.

Prime_BASS - I know what you mean about the GAS, but I've been fortunate enough to have tried and tested lots of basses over several years and have come to the conclusion (having owned Stingray's and jazzes in the past), that I'm a Stingray / jazz kinda guy. I've also managed to do an awful lot of this trying of basses without losing any significant sums of cash (never bought new, avoiding 'niche' market basses etc...). Whether it's a jazz or a Stingray (most likely) that I end up getting, there's a very good chance it'll be staying in 'the stable' for a while, as long as there's a use for it.

[quote name='JTUK' post='1259979' date='Jun 7 2011, 05:41 PM']Or a hipshot..!! for those odd forays down under..??[/quote] Call me lazy, but I can't be doing with that 'flick it down, flick it back, flick it down, flick it back....' thing. Hence, I just sold the one that came with the jazz 4!
-
I used to own a JO5 which is why I was thinking of getting another. It was a lovely bass with a great, beefy jazz tone; but that's the thing, it was a jazz tone. Flippin' heavy as well (12Ibs), hence it's departure from the stable.
-
Thanks for all the suggestions, chaps (or chapesses.... you never know!). Chris b - I accept that the JO's sound different to a Fender jazz, but they are essentially the same / very similar beasts. Bear in mind that I'm historically a bass-monogomist so if I end up with two jazz style basses I just see it being a short term relationship, coz I'll just end up thinking 'what's the point?'. ThomBM - Lovely Sandberg, sir! I had considered a Sandberg, but it's just finding the right one on the used market. Would I be correct in thinking that the general opinion is to keep the jazz 4 I have and get something a bit different? Are the Warwick $$'s worth a look?
-
I've played 5 strings for many years, but recently got hold of a Fender Jazz 4 string which I'm really growing to love (tone and feel). However, playing in a church, I could do with the low B sometimes so could probably do with getting another 5'er. I've narrowed down my choices to either a Jazz 5 (preferably a Lakland JO or DJ) or a Stingray 5. I should probably also add that I think I'm probably a 'jazz bass' guy at heart, but I like the bite and aggression of the Stingray for a bit of something different. The options and issues are: 1) Keep my jazz 4 and get a Lakland jazz 5 - is there any point in having essentially the same bass, just with an extra string? Doesn't really provide and variety either. 2) Keep the jazz 4 and get a Stingray 5 - introduces options and variety, but might end up playing the Stingray more simply for the extra string at the expense of the jazz tone which I love so much. 3) Sell / trade jazz 4 for a jazz 5 and get a Stingray 4 - in truth I probably prefer the Stingray 4 tone, but this means getting rid of my new love, jazz 4! HELP!!

BUMP for new price on PUPs -
BUMP for the Nords
-
BT3 sold pending payment. Nordstrands still available...
-
Both of these are out of / off the Fender jazz I picked up a little while ago. Never been into detuner's and I just prefer the normal jazz pickups. The nordstrands do EXACTLY what it says on the box. The additional low midrange is very noticeable, the muted top end, less so. [s]£120[/s] £110 + P&P [attachment=81143:DSC00328__50__.JPG] [attachment=81144:DSC00327__50__.JPG] The Detuner looks to be in very good nick. Don't know what else to say about it really. [attachment=81145:DSC00332__50__.JPG] £30 + P&P Thanks for looking and get in touch if you have any questions or offers.
