    [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1463065784' post='3048264'] Welcome to BC and glad to hear of your return to the bass fold... Other more knowledgeable suggestions will follow, but the zoom B1on is very reasonably priced, has an aux in (for playing along to your mp3s) and a headphone out... so you may not need to run everything through the PC at all . [/quote] Wot he says. Cheap and good. Just get a Zoom charger at the same time, about £12.

    I bought a six string guitar at Christmas and have discovered that Im more useless at playing a guitar than I am at bass. It now sits on a stand in the corner of the lounge. Still, the wife thinks it looks good as an ornament.

    I bought a brand new US P bass in 09. Black and maple and fitted a black pickgaurd. Only used it for 1 gig down in a pub in Helensburgh then sold it on here. Cant remember the reason why but it was GAS more than likely.

    Any Yamaha or Ibanez will be a good bass to start out on. They tend to have an overall better reputation for decent build quality than say a Squier which can be a bit flaky sometimes. The Yam 170 you mentioned is a good start.

    I had one a while back and thought it was terrible. Sounds like mud (which might be the sound you are looking for) and as said above, it`s neck heavy. The tuners were garbage as well. The only bass I owned that was worse was an Epiphone EBO. I don`t hate Epi`s by the way. I love the way a T/bird sounds, I just dont get on with the shape.

    I`m actually more surprised that you have kept the amp long enough to buy another badge. You do seem to have been through wads of amps recently.

    [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1461181029' post='3032292'] Clive is a bit of a hero in the vintage world. He calls his work 'restorations' rather than refinished. Some of his work is simply outstanding. This is not the best example to be fair, but then it did have a huge chunk taken out of it [/quote] I wasn`t meaning to run down Clive`s work. I have seen some photos of his work and it`s top notch. I was just trying to work out what bit of the bass he had worked on seeing as it is a bit of a state. Sorry, full of Mojo It must be the battery box repair.

    "Paint re touching by Clive Brown" Eh?? A quick Google search shows Pino playing almost every bass know to man except a stack knob Jazz. And they have the cheek to ask for £80 economy delivery!! In what universe is £80 an economy delivery? I wouldn`t want Parcelforce delivering this.

    In 2001 a mate who played guitar took me to McCormicks in Glasgow to get a bass. I knew bugger all about them as I looked at the Jim Deacon P basses they sold. But he spotted a Squier P bass special in metalic red and after a play on that, he decided that it was much better than the others I paid £230 for it which seems mental now and one of the reasons McCormicks ain`t there no more I imagine. After a while, I tried to trade it in at Victor Morris (sellers of guitars, pa and crossbows and samuri swords-true) and they offered me £75 for it. Told them to stick it and ended up painting it green and shortly after broke it up for parts. Nah, don`t miss it at all.

    I think Geddy bought the Jazz because it was only $200. He must have liked it tho.

    [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1460574638' post='3027006'] Really? What sort of cosmetic changes? [/quote] I swapped the bridge and control plate for black ones, spray painted all the pickgaurd screws black, stuck on a cheeky EBMM Stingray transfer and replaced the tuners with a set of Schallers.

    As I play in an acdc covers band, I thought I had better get a Stingray of some description. Not having the cash to get a "real" one, I bought a Sterling Sub in black and maple and after a few cosmetic changes, I have to say I am well impressed with it. A set of flatwound Chromes are winging their way from Germany and will be going on as soon as they arrive.

    I have the same amp into 2x Mi bass 12" cabs, rated at 250 watts and 8ohms each. It will be dinky doo!

    [quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1459180826' post='3014180'] Yamaha Bb [/quote] Plus 1. The best sounding P basses with a Jazz pickup thrown in. I own a BB 1100s and a Nate Mendel and to be honest, the Yam sounds better. Imo of course.

    After trying to find a half decent singer for the last few months, I`m convinced that the most of the people on Gumtree, JMB etc are dreamers and/or plonkers. Age is no barrier for the disillusioned. Agree with putting an advert in yourself and don`t give up as there are some decent people out there. It`s just trying to find them!

    I know it`s a bit of hot topic the now but my HB PB 50 is really good. I have used it in the studio and when practicing through the Zoom B1 with headphones and it does the biz. I`m sitting here looking at my Nate Mendel P and thinking that for my uses at the moment, the HB would do the job.

    I bought this amp as a back up last December but have now ordered a new amp so this one is surplus to requirements. It was a B stock item but I cant see anything wrong with it, it works perfectly and there are no obvious marks on it. It didnt come in its original box so maybe that was why it was B stock. Its big, its heavy and kidding itself on its a Ampeg. I used it in the studio a couple of times and it sounds ok. I would keep a hold of it but I don`t have much space so it has to go. Collection only from Paisley or my work at Kinning Park in Glasgow. No trades or offers. It cost me £80 so I reckon the price is fair. I dont have a picture of the amp as my camera is playing up but it looks the same as the one in the picture. [attachment=214707:BVT4500H_front-45e701f922111ec155acee64604873ed.jpg] Sod it. I`m gonna keep a hold and try and hide it somewhere out of the wifes way. "Yes dear, I have sold the other amp."
