  1. [quote name='rednose200' timestamp='1325288201' post='1481917'] I absolutely hate signature guitars. Its only a sales gimmick for dummies who think that by buying a sig bass will make them play like the person its named after. Funny old world [/quote] I think you will find that the people on here that own a Mike Dirnt sig P bass, including myself now, would disagree with you 100% on this. The TB bass looks good value for money. I have used the Wilkindon hardware on several basses and it`s really good gear. Their guitars always get a good write up as well. Jez
  2. Mani, a question if you don`t mind. What happened to the Gibson SG you were playing on "this old town" with Weller on the Johnathan Ross show in 07 ish? Never seen you use it again. What a line up that was! Jez
  3. Move up to Glasgow, look on gumtree and you will find lots of people looking for bass players. The majority of the advertisers are off their nut but hey you`ll get a laugh. Seriously, stick an ad in gumtree and partysounds as they are free and get your own thing together. Jez
  4. I hope it is him. Top player and all round cool bloke. Jez
  5. Just did a trade with Liam for his Mike Dint P. Good guy to deal with and no messing about. Jez
  6. It`s all kicked off again with our friends across the pond. After having another thread about this bass stopped, the guy has had the bass inspected and has put up lots of new pics. Worth a look.

  7. Bargin of the year. If I didn`t have one, I`d have it. If you are looking for a Jazz at a great price, here it is! A lot of people change the pickups but I find the DD one`s do the job fine. Jez
  8. Good to here that Steven as I have a MD coming my way on tuesday! If this was Talkbass we could start a club!. How did the gig with the new band go? Jez
  9. I have 2 squiers at the mo and they are both good. I have upgraded some of the hardware with half decent budget gear and have gigged them lots and I have never had any complaints. Like all mass produced things, if you get a good un, bingo!! Jez
  10. Here we go regarding the neck: Blocks and binding were introduced in 66 The large block decal goes on the P and Jazz from 69 and was changed to the smaller size fron 76. At the same time the serial number moves from the neckplate to the face of the headstock under the logo. From 75 onwards, the jazz 3 bolt neck becomes the norm. This looks like the neck on the bass in question due to the truss rod. So, I reckon it`s a 75 or 76 neck. All info from the Fender bass book aka "fender bass bible." Jez
  11. Don`t know about the bass but if it sells he should use some of the money for a full stop. Jez
  12. Nah. The only people I dislike are singers. A nessecary evil!! Remember we are in the Entertainment business luvie!! Jez
  13. A Status Energy which I swapped for an amp, which my "mate" blew up shortly after and a 09 US p bass, black and maple that I sold on here. Jez
  14. This is a feeler for the moment as I`m not 100% certain of moving this on. It`s a Fender classic 60`s Jazz that I bought from guitarguitar last year. I lusted after one of these for a while as I really like the sunburst finish, reverse tuners, the gloss neck, tortiseshell scratchplate.... I am playing with a band at the moment in the studio and on friday took my Squeir P bass down for a change and according to the guys it sits a lot better in the mix as they say. I was going to get a P pickup fitted to this but it was gonna cost around £140 all in and it would destroy what the Jazz is all about. So what I`m looking for is a P bass. A classic 50`s, Mike Dirnt, a decent Mex standard, one of the classic vibe P basses or a Yam 414 or similar, you get the idea. I would do a straight swap for the classic 50`s or a Mike Dirnt but would be looking for cash my way for the others depending on what it is. As for a cash price I would be looking for around £460. As for condition, this has a few marks. A small ding on the front near the jack socket is the only one visable from the front, a small ding on top of the belly contour, 2 very small marks on the laquer at the end of the headstock-these are on the edge and cannot be seen from the front and one very small pressure mark on the back near the bottom. I have tried to photo them. I will be putting the original Fender strap pins back on. Any offers please pm me.

  15. I try and keep as near as possible to the original bassline until I run out of talent/ability which can happen very quickly! After that I just make up a part that sounds ok to me and hopefully the rest of the band. Jez
  16. Bands would be great things if it wasn`t for the tossers that are in them! Take a break and you will return revitalised, a better man for the experiances you have had. Jez
  17. Right that`s it!! I`m away to listen to Cygnus x1. Their best moment from their best album. Jez
  18. Superb job there. Don`t usually like pink basses but the matching headstock really sets this one off. Jez
  19. Gabriel just bought my Ibby off of me. Really nice guy and no messing about. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks G! Jez
  20. After rehersaltype bump. Jez
  21. Right guys and gals, price drop to get this thing shifted. Please note this thing is as new as a pre owned bass can be!! £310 posted £300 collected Jez
