I went there once and they gave me a free hand to walk around trying any acoustic guitar I cared to pick up, so I can't really moan about them. Apologies GV, I take it back!

I sent an online enquiry about a £2.2K bass 2 weeks ago. They didn't bother getting back to me. Never mind, I'm now spending around 2K less on my next bass. Not from there either.

I love Garageband. ridiculously easy! (I don't have the latest version though, and to be honest I wish I could go back to the one before my current version). I found drum loops a bit of a pain though, I could never get the feel I wanted. I eventually bought an electronic drumkit and that is perfect. I play keyboards first, altering tempo as and when I feel, then I drum along to that, and add everything else afterwards.

[quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1399488868' post='2444781'] .... Now I'm still not sure if I'm for or against the relic look .... [/quote] Just let me know if you decide to move it on!

I found that site, but didn't see anything about getting a relic made up?

..... well, didn't find anything! How does one go about procuring one of these basses?????

Wow, love these basses - especially marthebass's! That is EXACTLY what I want! all these posts and not one link to them .... I'll have to go looking.

I bought a deluxe about 10 years ago. Easiest neck ever to play. As mentioned by many though, they got the shape wrong in that the upper horn can really dig into you. It's really cool, but to be honest I never play it, I think I just prefer a more vintage vibe overall for instruments. I probably would have sold it by now but son no 1 likes it unfortunately! I should have a play on on it again!

How much are we looking at for such a beast? (4 string bass) It's very early days on a planned build. I haven't decided 100% whether to go for a P/J configuration, but I have that on my (soon to be sold off Reggie custom shop 5 string) and I rather like it.

Where can one get one? I want a decent quality one in tort. Had a bit of a google but didn't find any.

Yes, that would be just the job! (if the finances stretch that far!)

I want to get a relatively cheap jazz bass and mod it so that it is passive, but can also be switched to an active circuit. I really like that very hi-fi sound of Status basses. Is there any circuit I could drop in that would give that kind of sound?

How can you tell if a bass is an affinity? It's not on the headstock is it?

I'm afraid that I can't help, but I absolutely love the look of the P-nut basses. Really would like one of them!
