  1. And buy one really nice bass and play the crap out of it instead of buying many 10`s of decent but budget basses and feeling disappointed with them after the honeymoon period is over.
  2. It`s not your imagination, 90% of lead singers really are tossers!
  3. Don`t be silly. Of course you need one! Man up!! 😀
  4. I went looking for a budget Jazz and got a Sire v3. Problem solved! Having said that, that G&L above is good looking.
  5. There is a 50`s P bass on here for £500 and that is crazy money. They are great basses and I don`t know why it`s not gone.
  6. Nah, the last bass I posted had to be in a hard case or it wasn`t covered by their insurance so it ended up costing me a good few scheckles. Plus it`s a big bugger and the worry of it getting damaged ain`t worth the hassle.
  7. Now for sale only as I bought something else so need this gone, out the door, vamoushed, shot of, disappeared, vanished, eh....
  8. Go on, scratch that Pete Way itch! 😊
  9. No it`s just the name of the style of the body, Jazzmaster, Jazz all offset body styles. 34 " scale. Lovely looking bass, GLWTS.
  10. The placement of that thumb rest and the holes that would be left if removed would put me right off. And for a private sale they are asking far to much.
  11. If you love the bass and intend to keep it, I would forget about the run and play it. If you are maybe gonna sell it on in the future, I would return it.
  12. You should check out the latest Andertons "all about the bass" video on YT. It`s about Ibanez 6 and 7 string basses. Very nice.
  13. Price drop to £230 collected from Paisley / meet up. A lot of bass for not a lot of cash. You know you want to 🤑🤑
  14. Bump for the ultimate rock bass. Even does metal!!
  15. Sorry, 4 string player only. Well usually 2 strings!
  16. Gotta agree. I thought Beats were all just a lot of hype but last year I bought a pair for £70 from Currys and while they are the cheapest ones I think, they are a great piece of kit.
  17. Ah the old honeymoon period. We have all been there, some of us many times 😊
  18. I had Tower of power SWR head a few years ago. Something like 700 watts but it weighed a bloomin ton. Got it for £200 from GG as it had a bit of the black paint missing from the front panel. Moved it on for £160 like a mug.
  19. I bought this recently from GG, second hand in a moment of madness! I have owned T birds in the past and don`t really get on with them due to the shape. So time to try and cut my loses and move it on. Below is the details from an ad I have posted elsewhere. Epiphone Thunderbird classic iv Pro bass guitar. Not to be confused with the cheaper bolt on Epi Tbird. This is very much like it`s Gibson brother without the eye watering price tag. Featuring a 7 ply mahogany and walnut neck through design with mahogany wings. Fitted with US Gibson T bird humbucking pickups as fitted to the US model. This one is nice and light. It`s in really good condition just a couple of small marks on the very end of the headstock, a small chip on the back about a quarter of an inch long and the previous owner must have had a pickup cover fitted over the bridge pickup, possibly to rest his hand on and that is the reason for the black screw on the body above the pickup. It has a fake Gibson truss rod cover fitted, the Epiphone one will be included. It also has a new Thomann quality gig bag that is made for this model. So there it is. It`s originally a £400 bass, US pickups with a brand new gig bag for £250. I`m not into posting this as the last time I posted a bass it was too much stress so please don`t ask. I am in Paisley but I don`t mind travelling a bit for a meet up. Any questions just ask. Ta.
  20. To be honest, I cant tell any difference. Nice playing,
  21. I went through this a few months ago: looking for a cheap Jazz that was still good. After asking around, it came down to the J and D bass from dv247 which gets some love on here at about £130 or a Sire. In the end up I went for a Marcus Miller Sire V3 at £240. It knocks the Squiers into a cocked hat as they say. It`s a bit heavy but it`s such good value. Check them out at Andertons or Thomman. I should add that if your are set on a Squire, the VM 77 in black with maple neck I owned a couple of years ago was a nice piece of kit.
  22. The way I look at it is Discreet on here highly rates the Rumble and he has changed his amp set up more than I have my underpants!! So I bought one and he was right! Having said all that, amps and cabs are a very personal thing and all opinions are subjective. For instance, there is lots of love for TE gear but I owned a AH600 head and wasn`t keen on the sound at all, it took me ages to get a decent sound when playing a gig. Plus the combo`s weigh a bloomin ton which has been said already.
  23. Get a Fender Rumble 500. Light, sounds ace, 350 watts on it`s own, can be set up in a few seconds and you can add an extension cab if you want the full 500 watts. For me, for pub gigs you can`t beat it.
  24. Great basses these. I payed just under £800 for the sunburst one so bargain time! GLWTS.
