    Bought a 66 Slab P-bass replica from Ben - sale went very smoothly with great comms along the way - a pleasure to deal with and would have no hesitation in recommending him to the Basschat crowd.

    Look forward to hearing your impressions of the SRH when it arrives. Ibanez do seem to be making some intriguing gear atm. Jeez - they've just brought out a 6-string version of the SRF (706). I was toying with the idea of getting back into 6-string with the SRFF806 - the fanned fret beastie. Now they bring out this....... I did try out a SRF705 in Denmark St a while back and was very impressed by the tones I was getting and the overall feel of the instrument. I just don't know how they do it for the money. Lots of people saying that I know but it's true 🙃

    Make that SRH505F not 705 🤓

    Ibanez SRH705F or SRF705 would do the trick I believe - both have piezo pickups to give that sound you are after - SRH is semi-acoustic so should be the most "double bass" like in its tone possibilities - plenty of clips on YouTube.

    In light of the recent re-release of the Songs from the Wood album - 40 years ! - I'd like to put some love out there for the work of John Glascock - melodic, adventurous and a sheer bloody joy to listen to. Some good footage of them live in the accompanying dvd. He plays a lovely natural Stingray with white pickup cover......... Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses were the albums that drew me into Tulls music - a lot of that due to JG !

    Just heard this album in Tidal recently - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxOIY-2OTWE Well worth a listen - I'd describe it as well written poppy prog - if that appeals Lee Pomeroy on bass and Trevor Horn produced so that may give you an insight into what it sounds like - elements of Buggles, Police, Tears for Fears, Trevor Rabin era Yes Id say.

    I've had a few over the years and all have been excellent. My current - see avatar - has the body of a PB62FL and the neck of a PB70USFL (sometimes PB70US-84FL - linked to price in Japan) - It's a colour/neck combo I've always wanted. If you prefer Jazz basses then there is of course the JB62FL. Best place to try apart from this forum would of course be e-bay, preferably from a seller in Japan - usually great to deal with - read, honest about condition and will pack and ship well. I got my basses new from Ishibashi - just before they got stopped by Fender from selling new basses. You can get used basses from their "U-box" [url="http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/e/"]http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/e/[/url] Nothing fretless there at present but you could fire an e-mail to them - they might have a "contact" that can get one from I always enjoy the hunt - wouldn't mind bagging a PB70US-TL (Phil Lynott) P-Bass - from somewhere tbh - might fire them an e-mail myself..... Good luck !

    RIP Rico

    dmz replied to Hobbayne's topic in General Discussion

    Sad to hear of Ricos passing - his playing brought delight to many over the years. He played with Linton Kwesi Johnson amongst many others - I just adore this album and can recommend it to anyone - some great bass playing too ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRHDLKTFLKU

    A true bass hero of mine and a true original - my mind was truly blown when I first heard him in 1980 and it still gets blown when I listen to him now - such invention and imagination in his playing. Long may it continue ! Many thanks for supplying the interview btw. DMZ - the track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TEmRe4es9k

    Bought an Aguilar Agro distortion box from Freddie. Couldn't have been easier and arrived super quick. So, highly recommended to y'all out there !

    Bought Markbass Mini Distortion pedal from Ambient - transaction was as easy as pie - top chap to deal with - so have no hesitation in recommending him to all on the forum ! DMZ

    I must admit...as being a lapsed Rick user I find these new 4003S bases are very tempting. Just hope they've managed to get the QC sorted out. Imagine one of these - mapleglo of course - with a toaster and a horseshoe........ I'm sure I've read of someone converting one of these into a 4000 replica already. Loved the picks of the picks of the 4000 a few posts ago btw. Some more soundings from people who've bought or tried one out would be great and very much appreciated...........

    I sold a Fender Modern Player 5 to Vic and found him to be a credit to this forum. Funds arrived quickly and he kept regular comms throughout the transaction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to everyone ! Cheers Vic ! DMZ

    ....don't forget his playing on a few Brand X albums too in the late 70's - try out the "Product" and "Do they hurt" albums and perhaps "Is there anything about". These albums also feature the genius that is Percy Jones !

    Still up for grabs !

    Up for sale is my immaculate Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass V. Satin black with maple neck and fingerboard. Nut width 47.6mm, width at 12th fret is 67mm - weighs 4.5 kilos on my scales. Bought new a year ago and is in as new condition - even has plastic covers still on pickups and pick guard. Plays wonderfully - as good as any of the Laklands I have owned in the past - 55-01 and 55-02. Reviewed well on YT - go have a look ! Gives you a feel for the tonal variety the bass has with is pretty vast. No trades unfortunately as need funds for other domestic projects. Firm on the price (£295.00 plus shipping) as is an absolute bargain - costs over £400 new. Will be supplied in the box it came in with some added padding. More than welcome to try before you buy if you live nearby - Southeast Wales [url="http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/basses/jazz-bass/modern-player-jazz-bass-v-satin-maple-fingerboard-black/"]http://intl.fender.c...gerboard-black/[/url]

    Up for sale is a 2012 Phil Jones Super Flightcase bass combo - in a rather fetching red colour. 250w - 6x5" speakers - 4 pointing out as per usual and two pointing up - gives a lovely even sound top to bottom. I'm selling as have too many boxes tbh and this is too good to have lying around not being used. Immaculate/As New condition - has not been rehearsed or gigged. Comes with original cover as well as manual and cardboard box. Looking for £600.00 plus shipping - RRP is around £1000.00 so this is a stone wall bargain. No trades please. Happy to demo for people if you want to drop by - South East Wales. [attachment=180060:PJBsfb.jpg] [attachment=180061:PJBsfc.jpg] [attachment=180059:PJBsfa.jpg]
