Is that the Dregnought Dave?

The Sire P7 has a Jazz neck and loads of other goodies. Not that I`m gonna get one from Santa....

That JB 2 at £300 is a steal if you are looking for a Jazz with P body.

I think the L2000 is 44 mm at the nut and the LB is 42 mm but both necks are your favourite "half baseball" neck I had the natural LB and it was lovely but around 10`lb`s if I remember right.

They take their 20% and the postage from you to them if they collect it form you, usually about £15

if thats a HB tele bass it looks great.

Well it arrived today and first impression is it`s freekin huge! Second impression is it`s fecked! The treble knob has detached itself so I have e mailed them to see what they want to do.

I`m no virtuoso bass player but if I went for a play with a band and the drummer was crap and they can`t even tune their guitars, I would be outta there. Some people seem to treat being in a band as some kind of social club, which is fine if you have no plans of playing gigs to a decent standard but if you aren`t on the same page, it`s never going to be satisfying.

Day off today so just having a look and see what gear I can buy for not a lot of cash and came upon this. I actually do need something similar since I stupidly sold my Sadowsky di a few months back when I was going back to using an amp and cab but lack of gigs has scuppered that idea. Had a look and it`s bought for £35 delivered. Going to use it into my RCF speaker and see what happens.

Same here, a nice bit of kit and if I`m not mistaken I think this is the bridge on JJ`s Shuker?

Japanese Fenders now seem to go for around £750 to £950 so it`s a decent price and that one has a nice sounding spec. And who could resist a lake placid blue with matching headstock. Yummy!

I went for an audition years back and we were doing A town called malice. Well most of the band was, I don`t know what the "drummer" was playing but it wasn`t right and it threw me completely. I had to stop the song and tried to explain that it wasn`t right. The rest of the band couldn`t see what the problem was so I un plugged the bass, said I wasn`t wasting my time and walked out to the sound of my own footsteps. So yeah, we can spot a twonker of a drummer a mile away.

I thought that, getting a bit ditterey in me olde age! Great sounding bass that MD but a heavy lump. That BB, which was really nice btw, I ended up selling it to a member from Motherwell, who left it in his car after a gig one night. And when he went to the car in the morning, some scallywag had stole it so who knows where it ended up after that.

Andy. Just remind me. Did I meet you in the Tesco car park in glorious Parkhead a few years back and did a swap deal for your red BB?

Myself and rhythm guitar boy have had a lot of work done by Strung out. The girls are really friendly and won`t do work that isn`t required.

Damm you triple post!!

If it`s any consolation to you, recently I have been listening to the track Spirit of man from the WOTW sountrack and the bass playing is what really shines in this song. When you look back at some of the things Herbie has done, he deserves to be right up there with the bass playing greats.

Price dropped to £359 from £400 in GG.

The guy who used to come on here, Lee if I remember right, has left Ashdown and it looks like they haven`t anyone brave enough to suffer the wrath of the BC. Or the praise of BC.

Someone on TB based in Italy I think bought a white one of these and the fret job was pretty shocking. I love the look of the burst one but I would try before buying. Which could be said of most Squier`s to be fair.

I`m the opposite, I shouldn`t like them but do. I was in Stereo 1 in Paisley years ago and they were playing the Erpland album on the shop hi fi. The track was Tidal convergence and it blew me away. I bought it and Live Underslunky but until this topic appeared, I hadn`t listened to them for years. Time for a re visit.

I had the same thing. Tried to send a bass with DPD and they said the package was too large for them, on the very same day I had a bass delivered by them form Guitarguitar! GG must spend a few bob with DPD so it` worth their while.

Didn`t someone on here build or own a replica of Herbie`s bass? Was a few years ago.

Still have a head and cab made by Ashdown in England, use UK made cables and have owned a couple of Status basses but as long as the gear works and I can afford it, where it is made is not really something I think about. Even the US made Fenders are made with overseas parts and that is why they can`t say made in the US anymore due to Californian laws. But that`s another can of worms. Is it made in the UK or assembled here with parts from all over.
