[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1396291367' post='2411970'] I'm going to try some D'Addario XL Nickels i reckon.....quickly before i change my mind lol [/quote] Good strings. I use them when not using Status flats or half wounds. But as was said earlier, strings are a very personal thing. But Rotosounds, for me, are the worst strings money can buy.

And I managed to spot, that was Guy Pratt with Icehouse at the start of the second clip. Just sayin...

Don`t encourage these people. If you are daft enough to pay stupid prices, good luck to you. Go down the Dog and duck and support your local boozer and listen to some live music. And yes, I imagine Kate will be slightly horrified at the scam with her tickets.

What a damm fine idea. I`m liking the VM Jazz in red.

Send the Bass Doc the original and bingo!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1395347639' post='2401495'] I carry a Behringer BDI-21 in my gig bag, which can be used as a pre-amp and gives you a distinct and tweakable tone as opposed to just a line out from your bass. £26. But any Sansamp-type box will do it. [/quote] I never leave home to gig or rehearse without one of these. I usually have it in line for a bit grit as required.

More than likely the neck was re finished? As far as I know, he always plays his original P on gigs unless it has a problem.

Black Schallers all the way for me. When you are spending £££ on a bass, £14 is cheap. They have never let me down. Famous last words!! [size=4] [/size]

I`ve gigged the 1x15 with no pa support quite a few times and have never had any problem being loud enough. I don`t think I have had the master above 6 and I played with a loud drummer miked up through the pa.

Nice bass. Never seen a bad Tokai. Get a set of flats on there and wheyyy heyyyyyy...

Eric Clapton could afford any vintage guitar out there but mostly plays custom built new strats. Granted, they are most likely the best quality guitars that Fender make but if vintage guitars sounded "better" I`m sure Eric would be playing them. Vintage guitars = snake oil. Ducks for cover....

Nah I don`t miss any band I have left. I shot the craw as I didn`t like what was going on and or the people involved. I do miss playing with the drummer who I played with for 6 years or so but I am meeting him for an informal jam on friday with some other guys, so I`m looking forward to that.

I will take the opperchancity to mention once again, the Yamaha TRBX 304. Nice slim neck, 2 band eq and 5 position selector switch, £260 ish, great Yamaha build quality. http://youtu.be/sFUP4zJ6l3I

Quote: "As you see we have no knobs on this one." I can think of one knob on the clip

I have used Award Sessions cables for years and they have never let me down or for a bit of retro look without the tone sucking quality of the old ones, Bullet curly leads.

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1391906593' post='2362632'] What are the ATK necks like? I'm only curious, no GAS at all... [/quote] More like a P neck and compared to a SR, big! In fact the whole bass is rather big and on the heaviish side which is why I got shot of mine. Decent sounding bass though for the price.

My 2004 ish British built Ashdown Mag 300 head is still pumping along nicely! Mabye I`d be better keeping quiet about the other combo I own [size=2](It`s a TC BG250)[/size]

The post 2012 SR 300`s are really good. I had a black one, nice and light and a good range of tones could be had with the 3 band eq. All the SR models have slim necks. Another great bass with a slim neck is the new Yam TRBX 304. Two band eq and 5 position switch gives you plenty of options and Yamaha build quality is superb. So good, I bought one.

Sorry Conan, it has gone. Forgot to update [size=4] [/size]

Just completed a deal with Dan and it was as smooth as a baby`s whotsit. Good communication and speedy delivery. Ta

I would keep the L2000 and the P bass. The L2000 cause it is possibly the most versatile bass around. The P bass I would keep as every bass player should have one. Or mabye 2..... I have found out over the years that there is times when only a P bass will do.

If you are after a retro sound for less than 300 quid, you could go for one of the VM series, either the Jazz or the P with the Jazz and P pickup. The only thing with Squiers is sometimes the quality can be a bit dodgy (I haven`t tried any of the new models though) so mabye it would be better trying them out in the shop. Or better still, look out for a s/h Yamaha BB414 which has the P/J pickups. The Yamaha basses really are some of the best buys in any price range (as are Ibanez but you are looking for a retro sound) and one of these can be had for less than your budget.

The ESP seems grossly overpriced for a back up bass. Did the Wal ever sell?

Cracking deal. A US P bass for £350. Used to have a black one a few years back and sold it to Johnny frog on here.
