Hi, we just got our first recordings out there. We're very pleased with them but we're just heading into the studio to do more so any constructive criticism is most welcome. Note: We normally go into the studio as a band to get the drums and vocals down and then we add more at home as needed. Note: This is a link to the video but it's also on Soundcloud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujZTv4eTfXQ .

Our first video here. This is version one and a version tow should follow that will be darker and redder Constructive criticism is always welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujZTv4eTfXQ

Again, really enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff who were happy to let you blast LOUD on amps and always gave you a great deal. [/quote] I always find PMT in Bristol to be good and as a result had spent more money than I should have done-good business on their part They listen to what you say, let you try stuff and are competitive The bass section is pretty good. It has a good solid range of MM's, Fenders, Ibanez and Yamaha basses. Steve, who used to run that is now managing the new Cardiff PMT store so there is a new Welsh alternative to look into. There aren't any real bass specialists in Bristol unfortunately.

[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1450166994' post='2930100'] I'd check Spinnup now as they may still have their "free single distribution" offer on. It/s due to finish around now though [/quote] An update: if you want to get 1 track out there free the offer that ends on the 16th December (tomorrow). I'm not recommending them as the best option and I'm not sure that they allow a free download but it gets your name on Amazon, Itunes, Spotify and everywhere else. https://spinnup.com/gb?gclid=CjwKEAiAkb-zBRC2upezwuyguQ4SJADZG08vtTNfIBF3wlP6n5iLHIwPP29jWSU-GSDLxAlp9576thoCC-jw_wcB

Interesting question, I've been looking for a really nice precision for a while and got a G&L SB-2 in a trade and am not longer looking so I wouldn't overlook them. Don't let the two pickups fool you as it nails the precision sound and feel IMHO If anything ever happened to it I would search out another.

Traded a stingray in a cash/trade deal. Everything went smoothly and was as described. Thanks Andy...

IMHO Fender are good straight out of the packet as are Status half-rounds, If you get Status flats give them a chance to play in as they are also excellent.

Jordi bought my Ibanez 3005E. Straightforward and quick deal despite dealing across Europe. Deal with confidence-recommended, Thanks Jordi

Just released an EP and beginning work on more recordings type bump!

Cam bought a fretless P bass from me. Easy to deal with and a pleasant chap. Recommended!

Wonderful playing...I already use SR5's with flats. I'm pretty sure that I don't sound that good though

These two quotes would be my suggestions: [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1446762093' post='2902238'] G&L SB2 would be my choice. There is a pic of mine in the gear porn forum, G&L thread, if you want to see how a sunburst one looks. [/quote] [quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1446767173' post='2902283'] Can I be the first to ask why not a second hand USA standard Jazz? The 2008 - 2012 models are great instruments and from 2012 on they were even better IMHO of course due to the CS pups. Graphite rods in the necks as well. Go for Oly White with the maple board. You know it makes sense. Meets all your requirements and is within budget. Anything else is just a copy lol [/quote]

As a stingray 5 player I really like the newer modern C Fender Standards Precisions. The quality of the newer MIM ones seems much higher than in the past too.
