    Well, I didn't trade it in the end so I have bought a jazz and put it up for sale here:

    On Squier CV bass, picked originally over a fender MiM bass (which was actually not much more expensive) because it sounded and played better, not because of some inferiority complex as some people would have you believe I have kept this bass for several years because it had sentimental value, but it has been sitting around unplayed for several years and that is a bit pointless. All my basses are regularly gigged apart from this one, that hasn't been gigged since my last group 4 years ago. Because of the sitting around it does have crackling volume control, I will take that apart and spray it to see if it makes a difference. The other thing that kept me not wanting to sell it is the look of the neck when playing it - it really is nicer looking than all the other fender styles I had apart from the flame maple on my Maruszczyk. Unfortunately the thing that stops me playing it is I could park a truck between the strings, and for someone who thinks that the 16.5mm string spacing on the ibanez is a bit agrophobic, the 19mm+ spacing on these is way too much for me. So in the end I decided to trade it for a jazz, and as no trades came up here, I bought a jazz and now have to sell this. I have the metal plate thing that gets in the way of the bridge in a box somewhere which I could add. I am currently lacking boxes as nothing I bought recently had one, so pickup is best for me, and any offers really depend on closeness. I can deliver or meet people within 30-40 miles of yeovil and I get to bath and bristol often, and maybe also exeter at weekends.

    The head of Yay!! I thought he had them made for their farewell tour

    Surprise birthday party last night at a cricket club. Slow start but crowd were happy and interactive. But the place was like a sauna! i took my new aerodyne jazz, a bit concerned as it was a 4 string and I don't generally play that, but mostly it was ok, as I practiced the ones I knew would cause me problems. The band thought it looked great. I thought the sound was a bit weak compared to the Ibanezs but it was ok, nice enough to play, missing string notwithstanding, although that arm bit isn't the most comfortable, it you know, fashion, you are suppose to suffer for it! Anyway, mother of birthday boy happy and wants to book us for her birthday

    Yeh, I always have my emergency lead ready to go at a moments notice.

    I had one, same specs, using 400ma of pedals, lasted 5 hours in practice, died at 2 hours from fully charged one gig. Got sent back. Was a good idea, not trying that again!

    I wouldn't go for a 7 CD set, but a 1 CD best of would be good.

    The FX is very clear on stage as to what is on. There are a couple of times I have looked down because something sounded a bit off and noted that I still had an effect on that I wasn't aware of!

    Don't get many videos of people playing bass like that on a greco SG copy!

    It has a schaller 2000 bridge, so that gives a string spacing adjustable between 15.5mm to 20.25mm Which is nice, I could live with that spacing!

    I had a bit of a problem with the grill. First it had a bit of scarring on it, luckily just one side, so it doesn't show, and the minor marks on the front are covered. Second, the holes don't line up with the edge, so I couldn't get screws in one side, and they are right at the edge on the top. Seems pretty solid though.

    Looks like it took preference over the skirting boards after all!

    Can only take cash on collection, no paypal because I am out of the country right now??

    We just use google calendar, you can just knock up a free account and subscribe to it from anything. Yeh, I wouldn't be doing that. They want to be in a band or they don't, so either they leave or I leave, I can't be bothered to put up with that attitude, I would just go and find a band that wanted to play. There is enough hassle being in a band without that. I admire anyones patience if they put up with that more than once.

    It was not one for me.

    Stick one through an echo pedal and a distortion and they sound awesome. Edit - the bontmpi organs, not anything by kay.

    I know - tricky, unless I do the bose trick. Most of the time I will be using it with my TC450, and using it upright, as nature intended, but it does look nice that way round.

    Quite happy to feel less of me then, as I won't do oasis.

    shouldn't stickers be spelled P-E-T-R-O-L?

    My last band was a half covers half originals band. The guitarists heart was obviously in his originals but the crowds, and in fact ours was in the covers because they were simply better songs. The thing about covers is they don't have to be sex on fire, there is a whole lifetime of stuff that is good and different out there

    We put all the days we can't play in the calendar, then all other days are free to book. We have virtually never cancelled a gig barring major illness.

    It certainly is a perfect fit for that amp

    Sounded pretty good sitting in front of it. But it is not a big room. Will take it to practice on thursday and decide if I will gig it next weekend. I suspect I will regardless.

    Last picture (promise!) - got the grille on, and now I am thinking I might put side legs on it as well!

    And that was so long ago that probably a very large proportion of those girls in that choir are now grandmothers.
