[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1337045497' post='1654604'] Other than shape the two basses have very little in common. Body of the 1000 series is splined, not glued - to improve transmission/sustain. P pickup now uses the blade design - in theory producing a more even output. J pickup has been redesigned - to increase overall output. Bridge is a different alloy - to improve transmission. Saddles are angled at the contact point with the string - to produce a finer witness point. Fret wire is a harder alloy. Nut material is the same as the fret wire - to make the tone of open and fretted notes the same. Stringing can be through body to improve transmission - at an angle to reduce string stress at the bridge. Not saying that any of those points make the 1000 series "great" though. [/quote] wow lots of tweeks there but in the scale of things for 500 less i may go for the 615, that seemed a decnet bass and good active, many tones. thank you for the details.

OLP Stingray For Tokai Jazz Swap, Opinions Please
greyparrot replied to Ska Man's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Ska Man' timestamp='1337028176' post='1654403'] Hi Guys, [attachment=107957:098.jpg]Ive got an OLP stingray for sale. Its a natural wood finish with 1 pick up and 3 band passive eq. A guy is interested in it and has asked if I would give him €200 and the OLP for his Tokai Jazz. The Tokai is 80's and mint. Can anyone tell me if this is a good deal? How much are each of these bass's worth. Sorry if these questions are a bit lame but Im not really up to speed on whats what as Ive owned and played a Fender P for the last 18 years. Thanks for any help gentlemen. Mick [/quote] bite the guys hand off....those tokai hard punchers are awesome, and very rare, im out for one myself.... -
hey guys iv got my usa fender P in the for sale bit, but was wondering if anyone has tried the yamaha Bb1024/5 ? i cant help thinking that it seems a little expensive, but i have not been up close to it.Is the workmanship better on this than say the bb6 series? at around the 700 mark your kinda touching in usa bass department. I have always liked the early trbs and ihad a bb5000 years ago, i liked that but it was a little honky. Got my hands on a 615 today, that had a great sound and he price was cheap.....so whats great about the BB1024/5?? cheers Fellas

[color=#FF0000]DEAL DONE NO LONGER FOR SALE PENDING MEET .....CHEERS ALL AND THANKS FOR GREAT OFFERS[/color] 5 string to trade???? with the tweed case....why selling a £1700 bass for £600? because many years ago the bass had a break to the neck which was fixed, and is solid. I have had this bass for a year, and its nothing but a joy to play, the sound is awesome, its a real players bass. I have loads of clear you tube at bassmanrich44 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atOOBYvvT-U&feature=plcp[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=verNM4Eswx0&feature=plcp[/media] the slap stuff was done with duff strings. I bought this because i got into a buddy holly tribute, but now am in a rock band, and it sounds great, but im after a 5 string, thats my thing really. This bass is truly stunning it looks and feels amazing no buckle rash, hardly any dings no paint loss, only that repair. Before i bought the bass i had it on trail for 2 weeks i took it to 2 dealers both said the join to be solid and stronger than the original! Any one looking for a speacial P bass with soul this is it chaps. Tne ash trays are not fixed, but there to show, no holes have been drilled. The bass is a 1994 62 or 64 reissue, and comes with the tweed case as it came from the shop. I love this bass, but looking for something else (maybe) im not fussed if it does not sell to be honest. Looking for cash on collection/cheque but preferred is bank transfer. The price includes aps overnight delivery. Please call for more info on 07757875566. Who ever buys this bass will love it. Its a Proper P bass! I get many comments both live and on you tube regarding the look and tone of this class bass. The bass belong originally to a pro player, then he sold it to a mate of mine who had it 6 years then i bought it. There is about £350 off because of the break but TBH it is real mojo for a pro bass with its own soul! Rich on 07757875566
