    That's a temptation that along with the Spector Shorty could be a great afternoon back to back comparison. And 0% available now to really get the GAS going.

    Same just stumbled across it. Now debating if to try one out or not as it seems a bit of a bargain but that in itself makes me a bit cautious incase it's to good to be true. Think they do returns though.

    Congratulations I just picked up a status necked Jazz also but cost me a hell of a lot more than yours. Guessing you stepped into Big Deal Music I can remeber lusting over some of the secondhand deals when I was a teenager in wolves. Bargain

    Just found this thought they look interesting bit like a spector shorty. Anyone heard/got any experience of them at all? http://www.evolveguitars.com/shop/guitars/evolve-pact-bass/

    I found a used Sterling Oynx in a shop the other day was really tempted but two things put me off firstly it wasn't in the best of condition but it still had something about it then it was 1400 which seems a lot even if it is 150limited edition I've seen sterilings for 700/800ish! The biggest factor was the Bass was totally unplayable strings on the board in a well known shop just couldn't bring myself to even debate with them.

    Depends on what you are after I guess and the size/amount of gear I used to fit a suprising amount in my hatch (Mark 5 golf before a lorry took a liking to its rear) but if you need more you can pick up old estates like Volvo 850 for not very much. If insurance is a big factor think classic car you would be amazed how many cars are covered up to quite modern and it's really cheap my VW bay window (is not for lugging gear but I have used it) is under £200 for limited mileage.

    I don't really know where to start with this one.Price Drop 1500pounds I never planned on selling this bass and is purely because of a issue with my fretting hand that I'm even considering letting it go. This Precision was purchased from Wunjo at the start of the year because i fell in love with it and it had to leave there and then with me. It is not one for the purists but its one hell of a players bass (you could call it a vintage bitsa i guess). This bass has had a life,been used not hung on a wall and because of this has had modifications/work done and in my opinion sounds and plays beautiful as a Pbass should.

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1479486410' post='3176956'] Do you find the problem is increased when you're fretting in the First position (up and the bottom end - around the 3rd fret) ? If so, and it's better fretting at the 9th fret, or near there, try a 5 string. the 3rd fret on the E is the same as the 8th on the B etc. [/quote]. Hard to say really I would say it just seems to come on quicker with the Pbass so I put it down to the stretch but it could be the width or depth of the neck as others have suggested. Maybe I should try and control the elements a bit more and see what has a bigger reaction do the same riffs or scales in differing positions for a time period on my basses and record the outcomes in some way.

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1479485964' post='3176954'] OK, but it's a technique tip that is good even if you don't have any hand problems. I'm getting some arthritis in the base of my left thumb which is concentrating my focus on things like this. Obviously it's for you to decide if the info you get is appropriate or not. Good luck with sorting this out. [/quote] 👍 Will give it a try as well it can't hurt (anymore).

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1479482578' post='3176920'] OK, so I'll say the usual. . . if your fretting hand is stretching you're doing it wrong. Always move your whole hand to place your fingers over the note and never [i]reach[/i] for it. Don't play with your thumb anchored to one place. Your left hand should always be "on the move". [/quote] Thanks but I don't think it's a technique issue as I have only had the problem over a short time not previously and I do get the same pain in day to day tasks/work etc although to a lesser extent hence the visit to the doc

    The Doctor seemed to suggest it was a tendon issue caused from the break but as it was an old injury that had been ok for over 18months or so and has only recently caused an issue that the options were limited. I took it as him saying see if you can live with it as he didn't think much could be done without surgery I may have been reading between the lines a bit but he didn't suggest physio just a joint specialist at the hospital

    So I broke my little finger (left hand) a couple of years ago along with my left leg (leg was a mess) mountain bike racing has its risks which I learnt the hard way and promptly stopped racing and ride for fun. Now the issue is my little finger has started to cause me problems fretting over the last month I have tried exercise including the strength gadgets but it doesn't seem to help. It seems worse on a 34" scale like my Pbass which I am putting down to the stretch in the lower frets but still causes a few problems on my 30". After a while it seems to freeze up or slow and has a dull ache. I have seen my GP who suggested if it doesn't clear up after 3 to 4months going to a specialist but was wondering if anyone has had similar on the basschat world. Apart from selling my P and sticking to 30" which would extend my playing times I'm struggling and worried.

    Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and use a weekend to sort through it. Might not be worth a great deal but a few extra quid towards extortionate estate agent fees etc would help
  25. Joebethell
    I didn't even think of the innuendo but yeah 😀 Kinda know I'm putting off the inevitabile weekend Of digging,researching,photographing and listing.
