How about some wood effect Fablon or maybe ( if you want to go hi-tec) carbon fibre effect sticky back plastic?

[attachment=152963:P1030678.JPG] Just put this rig together over the last couple of weeks....

Wonder if it was a very early one, before the new logo? If you look at this it shows a Cimar one that looks very similar ( Cimar were an Ibanez brand I think) from 1980 [url="http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/expansion.php?cat_id=52&now=1"]http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/expansion.php?cat_id=52&now=1[/url]

Make sure when your new Bass arrives the first thing you learn, ( if you don't know it already) is " Mustang Sally"!

I'd have ordered both from Thomann and just sent back the one you liked the least...

I'll be interested, had a 5 String Variax a few years ago and thought of modding it, then realised I only used a couple of the sounds anyway!

Have to say I've always been a bit disappointed with the Food at Ronnies....

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1390053018' post='2340919'] Anyone want to buy an Italian 104HF for £1000? [/quote] As a Moderator you must know you cannot try and sell gear outside the correct Lounge......( how about a RJ TTE 500 Head and New York 151 RJ cab for £2000?)

I can see second hand Italian heads and cabs increasing in value..?

Like many, including proper Fenders, they are not the lightest of basses however, equally some may see that as a mark of quality?

Speaking of celebrity Bass endorsements [url="http://www.premierguitar.com/blogs/5-daily-news/post/20168-cort-introduces-the-jeff-berlin-signature-bass"]http://www.premiergu...-signature-bass[/url] It will be nice when it's finished...

I used to swap between a superjazz and an EUB a couple of times a set, but like others, we tried to group material so I played 3 or 4 songs with either bass. Helps if your singer engages the audience with some idle chat during the changes, but not what our singer used to do: " Keith's just going to change basses now"... then silence!

He's waiting for a kidney transplant, so it may be he's chasing a more lucrative endorsement.

Yes, you need a new Bass and new Amp. Oh, and while you are at it, new FX too! I thought I needed a new Compressor and have just replaced my rig, both head and cab and bought a tuner too. Beware!

Welcome to the world of Google where the harsh glare of the sun does not penetrate their accounting methods and paying UK tax....

Probably all come out in the wash..... and good for Metal too!

Just to show the other side of the the coin, I saw HF a few years ago at the Manchester Bass Day and whilst I thought he was technically proficient, his playing did not grip me the way someone like...Pino ( names a player I like at random) does. Different strokes perhaps?

I'm sure he could find a B&B for an evening in Hope, I did when I built my Bass over 6 days.

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1389806167' post='2338122'] Yes, they don't do the pro version anymore I have been thinking about the Rockbass version, but not sure they are worth the asking from new? If I could find a pro version used or new at decent price I think I'd go for it sorry for the hijack MM [/quote] £660 for a 4 string. Mine was the last of the Koreans and I've not had such a flawless finish on a Bass new before.

Loving my Warwick Star Bass.....!

Could someone translate what she said, I got lost after " piezo"!
