Ive known and dealt with howard for 17 years now, and he,s always been a star, i greatly miss him tweaking my basses, ive even owned a jazz bass he built which was superb!!!, just sold him my schallers a pleasure to deal with as always highly recommended thanks mate - lee

Thanks for thecomments guys!! Yeah i love the sterling i use it more for rock and funk gigs, the fenders are getting a bit more play at the mo, i do a lot of amateur theatre and use whatever bass is more appropriate for the show, i,d love a double pickup sterling myself, the nordstrand in it is great its a lot beefier sounding than a normal sterling, and its killer for slap!!! my warwick is still a great all rounder though and most people love it when you sneak in a bit of low B so i tend to use it for pop gigs!! Its amazing how GAS grabs you, since i got the fretless ive all the sounds i need and cant really justify anymore basses, but i am having lustful thoughts toward a yamaha trb 6, and the amp is always work in progress!!!! keep posting those collections everybody!! - lee

Not much love for the groove!!! I have two they are reasonably lightweight and sound great ( although yes SPL,S are greatly overestimated) always struggled with loud rock gigs, have no plans to sell them, good job by the sound of things, i might get ten bob and a pickled egg!!!, would love to try the barefaced cabs and the new epifani ones!!! i do still miss m old EBS prline 4x10 though it was awesome, but heavy!!! thanks for the very interesting info - lee

I love that jazz, it,s beautiful and i wannntttsss it!!!- that would top my collection off nicely, wouldnt get enough for my warwick though- all the best - lee

Ive just had the pleasure of dealing with Dave for the second time!!! Ive just bought his lovely MIA fretless fender jazz, for a very good price i might add arrived exactly when i requested and was expertly packed and sent in a lovely posh hardcase, he even threw in a spare scratchplate (will keep the nice tort one though) a great bloke to deal with and chat too, and will happily deal with again. thankyou Dave your a gentleman!! cheers - lee

[quote name='Musky' post='548267' date='Jul 22 2009, 09:35 PM']My thoughts exactly. Sadly it's not mine! [/quote] AAWWW shame!! a fiesta red 70,s jazz bass with a matching headstock, would be VERY!! interesting to me!!!! i thought for a bit it was a jaguar bass as they have matching headtock (in red) and the bound, with blocks, rosewood fingerboard ( bloody nice basses BTW) and are MIJ!!!! all the best- lee

[quote name='jwbassman' post='513638' date='Jun 14 2009, 10:20 PM']That's why I got it Took it along to two rehearsals today (Big Band and Show rehearsal) and went down very well for both - so really pleased with it - got to adjust to the slightly shorter scale, the fewer strings and the frets (my usual bass is the OW 35" fretless 5) but other than that it's really enjoyable to play and sounds great through my new Barefaced Compact [/quote] Where are you doing this show mate, i played it a couple of years ago. used my warwick. but if i did it again id use my musicman, is it the osaltwhistle production? in which case ill say hello ( a mate of mines wife,s in it) could be way off the mark, but just to say a jazz is a great choice- all the best - lee
