loose chippings

Bought a couple of basses from Mike. Trouble free, effortless transaction, good comms throughout. The basses arrived very well wrapped and protected. Thanks Mike, a pleasure to do business with you. Regards, Mark

Fascinating project. Any more news JPJ?

I was lucky enough to buy a TC RH450 amp from Ross. He's a genuinely nice guy to deal with, prompt despatch and the amp was securely wrapped. Thanks Ross, the entire transaction has been a pleasure. Terrific amp btw!

How could I forget to mention Robert Cray? DOH!

May I suggest; Paul Rodgers 'Electric', 'Muddy Water Blues', 'Now'. All with Pino on bass. Walter Trout 'Full Circle' Kenny Wayne Shepherd 'Ledbetter Heights' Etta James 'Best Of' Definitely Freddie King, 'King Of The Blues' and Eric Clapton's 'Sessions For Robert J'. Love the blues. If I lived nearer, I'd take you up on the offer too Shell, sounds like a good night out, have fun.

[quote name='Rubbishatbass' timestamp='1417297200' post='2619011'] Thanks for the reply ... I'm not convinced that IS the fretless - even though on that linked page it says MPN SR370F-BBT F being fretless of course ... I can't see anywhere else where it is mentioned as being fretless ... which you'd have thought it would have said. I might fire them off an email or ring them to check ... that photo if I had to bet on it, looks like a fretted bass as well ... Anyway, what do you think of it having played one? Worth the money just to have a fretless on the wall? [/quote] Superb, it's my go to bass now. Light in weight, neck is similar to a Jazz (narrow), tone goes from deep and punchy to mwahful. But beware, if you're gigging and the pre amp battery goes flat, the bass falls silent, so always carry a couple of spares. However, in two months of playing it every day, the battery hasn't needed changing. Pm me if you have any other questions, be glad to help.

[quote name='Rubbishatbass' timestamp='1417295106' post='2618988'] Do you mind me asking if that was the SR370F? Reason I ask is that I can't find any for sale anywhere - they all seem to be fretted ... did Ibanez discontinue them? [/quote] Yes, that's the one. As far as I know, Ibanez discontinued it, why not give PMT a call? There web site says they have three in stock. http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/ibanez-sr370-bass-guitar-brown-burst.html (Sorry to derail the thread, back on topic.)

PMT in Norwich were very helpful. Let me try a bass in a small room, great TC combo to play through. No pressure to purchase, told them I was only window shopping. Went back a couple of weeks later, bass was sold. The Ibanez lined fretless is no longer in production but they found one in another of their stores and had it sent down. Wouldn't let me take it away until they'd checked it over. Excellent service, recommended.

Yeah? Well f*** you too Mr C L Green!
