    I tried to get a hold of one locally but was informed that the original run was all sold out on pre order and the second batch was due in January. I was in the shop when the guy was speaking to the Fender rep (well, that`s who he said he was talking too.) But as the first batch was due late Oct early Nov, I guess that`s went Pete Tong.

    We all have off days. Don`t get too hung up on it. Try something different mabye a different style of music than you usually play. Some days I play like Geddy Lee and some days I play like Wy Ken Lee who I used to hang around with and couldn`t play bass for sh*t.

    I use the strings that Status sells under their own brand but I believe are made by Picato? I used to use the flat or half wounds but have recently tried their roundwounds and they suit me nicely. I like the feel of them and they are a decent price.

    I have here an Epi T bird. I will sell complete or will part it out. Made in China, I decided to paint it red then black (forgive me, it was a phase I was going through-mid life crisis!) I did it with Halfords paint and from a distance it looks ok but it is far from proffesional. There are a couple of dents/dings on the front around the vol knob/rear pickup area but they are marks in the paint and a couple of filled holes where I moved the strap buttons on the back. There is a small chip out of the rosewood board on the last fret. There is also a few chips on the end of the headstock. I have fitted an ebony thumbrest between the pickups and chrome knobs on the pots as one of the original plastic knobs broke. The bass plays fine and has a very powerful output. The frets are in great condition, the tuners are smooth and hold their tuning well and the electrics work perfectly. It would be a good Fenderbird project, a back up or a beat the crap out of it rock bass. There are a few options I was thinking about: Buy the complete bass. If you collect it from me £75. Delivered £85 but I will remove the neck before posting. Complete body with bridge, pickups and pots £55 collected, £65 delivered. Neck with plate and tuners £35 collected, £42 posted. I am in Paisley just outside Glasgow. Any question give me a shout. [attachment=122615:SAM_0550.JPG][attachment=122617:SAM_0553.JPG] [attachment=122616:SAM_0551.JPG] Please note: I`m gonna keep it the now.

    I have used a Mag300 head that used to be part of a combo, since about 2005. It`s a British made one and I like it but amps are very personal. I seem to remember the 2x10 is about 30kg in weight? It is Ashdowns biggest seller. If it is good nick, the price is ok. Plug in your bass and find out if the sound suits you.

    [quote name='mike257' timestamp='1351788857' post='1855452'] That, and the fact that we're holding a bass. [/quote] You have noticed that too!! You Genius you.

    The new one has the 5 knobs and different shaped pickups. I had one of the original ones with the 4 knobs and the old one has the bass and treble control on one split knob if I remember right. The old pickups were more curved at the top and bottom and I couldn`t get my thumb to rest on the top of it without sticking a plectrum in the gap between the body and the top of the pickup. A problem for me, mabye not for someone else. The weather is crap up here today and the photo`s I have taken of my black (or is it pewter?) SR are not very good but hopefully these will give you an idea of the colour. As I said before, these are excellent value for money and having used it a few times in the studio, I am well impressed.

    I have a Squier VM Jazz body I`m looking to get rid of. This is on it`s way to it`s new home via Glasgow. Thanks to all who replied.

    I bought this P bass copy from e bay several years ago for £117 if I remember correctly. I spent £40 on a set up and it sounded ok but it was quite heavy. I seem to remember that it had very small, narrow frets. I have never seen another Joodee. It says on it for proffesional use which was a bit ironic me owning it. I ended up giving it away to someone who was learning the bass. These are the e bay photo`s so don`t blame me for the dodgy carpet!

    Epiphone EBO and EB3. I have never played an old Gibson variant but these Epi`s are truly horrid.

    I own a few basses, have played bass in various bands over the years so I am a bass player. I think therefore I am. Or something like that.

    The best one I had was: Drunk guy. "Hey mate give us goodbye yellow brick road by that Elton p**fter" Me. Looks round to see if we have aquired a piano player since we started the gig. No, no piano. Or Elton. "Sorry mate we don`t do that one" Drunk guy buggers off muttering to himself. Or the famous drunk woman. "My mate`s a great singer, can she get up and sing a song?" Mate is a Boabby Dazzaler. Me "No" The thought of these people coating your mic with their saliva and other things.

    I didn`t think that the T115 was available anymore? It was a special run made for Thomann and I think xgsjx was correct, it was a re badged Mag 300. Voxpop has come up with a good suggestion, a S/H ABM. I own a British made MAG 300, one time combo now just the head and I prefer it to the TC bh500 I had. The Mag is their biggest seller. On a related note, just read an interview with Bruce Foxton who said that whilst he uses Marshall`s on stage, he uses a Electric Blue Ashdown combo for rehersing and recording and loves it to bits. Here is a link to a Guy Pratt demo [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_z0mDKMaAY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_z0mDKMaAY[/url]

    Why does no one on here buy anything? Have we not had this topic before............ To the OP. It seems to me that the basses that sell quickly are keenly priced, photographed well and have lots of detail. I am not knocking your for sale posts as I have not seen them. What you have to remember is it is a bit of a buyers market at the moment and you have to put in a bit of effort to get the sale. Personally I would advertise on here and say Gumtree but I usually put it a bit cheaper on here. And yes, I have bought and sold many times on here.

    Remember Mike, no pics of the transit = it doesn`t exist!

    Which just goes to prove that no one but other bass players gies a toss who makes the bass and where abouts in the world it is manufactured. Donny you realise that you have just buggered up umpteen threads? Do you feel guilty? BTW is that red bass no pink?
  18. jezzaboy
    I don`t buy all this because it`s made in a certain place it makes it the dog dangallies nonsense. If you buy a bass and like the thing it makes absolutley no differance the country of manufacture. A few years ago I bought a Jap P bass and wasn`t blown away with it and the same goes for the 2 US P basses I have owned. And no French birds either. Hairy armpits-need i say more?

    Just reminds you in this sometimes crap world, that there are nice people around. And lots of them are on here

    I have just read a Neil Young book called Shakey, basically Neil`s life story. Damm good read by the way but back on topic. In the book, Graham Nash recounts this story regarding Mr Sklar.... [i]Wanna know why Lee Sklar wouldn`t work with us (Crosby, Stills and Nash)? Because Stephen (Stills) who fancies himself as a bass player, would go up, take the bass from out of his hands and say "NO,NO, play it like this!"[/i] [i]Leland can play rings around anything that Stephen can`t even do on the f***ing guitar![/i] So there you go.

    £259 at Andertons and due in stock the 12th of this month. Looks nice. Fender`s artist department are working overtime this weather.

    I have no intention whatsover of buying this but I would just like to say "welcome home discreet!" We`ve missed you. Well some of us have

    Can`t polish a turd ???? You calling my Mex 50`s P a turd ?????? Right, ootside!!!!! I think you wil find a lot of people will disagree with that statement.

    Re the baddass. I put one on a 60`s reissue jazz and I noticed no differance whatsoever. They can look cool but unless it was standard on the bass I wouldn`t bother. I would be more inclined to spend the money on a decent pickup although I have read nothing but glowing reports of these P basses. But if you fancy a change, go for it.

    I learn it like the record until I run out of talent. Which can be pretty quick! Near enough is good enough for me.
