Just got a Fafner and basically when I play through it it buzzes. It sounds like the battery in an active bass dying if you know the sound, but it happens with various basses, various leads, both cabs I have and another head through them sounds fine so its definitely the Fafner. Wondering if anyone could think of the problem or has had similar issues? Thanks guys

Been following Shoshin for a while now, some pretty funky songs

Given, Corvettes can be a little limited but the Jazzman is a very versatile bass. I've owned 1) Musicman: EB Sterling, EB Stingray and still have a pre-EB Ray. 2) Warwick: 6er Corvette, 2 Streamer Jazzmans (1 still owned. Sold the first, had to buy another , a Fortress and a Corvette $$ Would say for pickup and play (and slap) its Ray all the way- pre-EB neck is nick and slim, Sterling had a tiiiiny neck which I couldn't get on with and the EB Ray had quite a nice chunky neck but not too big. For range of tone plus the trademark growl, can't beat a Warwick. Necks on these were variable. Quite large on the 6 and 5s but not too deep- I found it very similar to the EB ray. $$ had a slim round neck which was nice but not my cup of tea. Overall I'd say if you like the Stingray tone then brilliant cos you can't fail to hit it with these basses but you're not getting owt else with it. If you're wanting more flexibility the Jazzman won't do you wrong. As has been said, its a little harder to find the tone you want but when you find it you're a happy man Personally I'd choose the Warwick as I need more flexibility and the Ray tone doesn't really fit in with my band. Warwick suits what I need it for and that might not apply to you.

We've got everything down a semitone at D# G# C# F# and it works just fine

Just bought his Fafner, deal couldn't be easier. Going by the way he packaged it for shipping I'd happily have him protect me in prison.

Quoted from ad: "SEE YOU AT HAMMERTIME !!" Yeah totally!... wait, what?!

yeah warwick jacks are quite annoying in that they're sealed up so you can't just nudge the contact; only way to solve it is getting a new one in my experience and bass doc has nailed the part as per usual

electric upright bass

"Absolutely no returns or refunds" Wow, just fills you with confidence eh?

Musicman sterling 5 would have worked too. Not helping with the cheap thing though

Welcome, get some pics of those basses up

too busy rocking out fo' sho'

had something similar recently. Think the rules in Ebay have changed so that the only way the paypal payment clears now is when positive feedback is left. At least thats what I'm infering from a few similar emails I got. Might not be a scam but in these instances I'd always er on the side of caution. If you paid with papal they always seem to side with buyers so if it does go tits up you should be alright. This is all going by my experience so YMMV
