The jag has been a favourite for a while now, but just thought id get some background info on the tele before i spend all my money haha

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1349115328' post='1822049'] I find the thought of a tele bass being slapped just too distressing . [/quote] Yes, it doesn't seem like a good idea does it. Haha

P.s. This is for everyone, ill explain where the swansea reference is applied at the end. I've been looking fir a new bass for sometime now, and ive decided on the fender jaguar, however, spotted a fender modern player tele bass yesterday, and, well, that thing looks pretty badass. So, a little information ir experience on either would be appreciated. Main concerns of the tele bass is, firstly; can you even slap on this thing, i am a major slap enthusiast and it would be pointless to get it, unless i had money to burn (i don't), if you can't. It doesn't look like you can from a glance, looks like it play somewhat similar to the original precisions or an eb3 or something, which are not big slappers. Secondly, those pickups, look like they're a fender style mudbucker, however, I'm sure they're actually split coils, masquerading as humbuckers. So, do they suffer from a massively muddy, deep, throbbing mudbucker tone, or can you get a good treble and mid response out of them. I'm quite a punchy attack tone bassist. The only aim towards swansea bassists i have is, if anyone in my area happened to own a tele bass, they may perhaps be prepared let me have a little tickle on it, a test run, maybe? Any and all thoughts are much appreciated. Cheers, ben.

Been selling a bass on here for a while and haven't even said howdy! How rude. So, howdy, I'm Ben, and I'm currently eagerly awaiting my new Jaguar, its gna be freakin awesome!! And if anyone's got a cheap hollow body electric going, or some precision parts, gimme a bell. Hope you all have a pleasant evening. Love, Ben.

Realise everyones probably done talking about this. But. The BB are just excellent basses. I have two 80s BB1100s one fretted one fretless. And they are both outstanding, so versatile in sound. Also have a BB415 for sale if anyones after a BB. Excellent bass, wish i didnt have to sell it, but i dont have the need for the low and someone else should put it to good use.

Just noticed my bass chat time is an hour behind. Eg. Just sent a message at 3:34 but it says sent at 2:34. Anyone else?
