Nice to see the Jaguar too. I assume its the Squier VM like mine? I had to sort the neck pocket out (it had been chiselled away at the body end!!??), but once I had and put some D'Addario Chromes on, it now sounds FANTASTIC. As you say, it's like a PJ on heat and with tremendous versatility and warmth. I am printing out your thread to try and convince my wife that this is the absolute minimum number of basses that any self-respecting musician should have Andy[/quote] I have cut down a bit although I just added this.

Doesn't look like I can make it in now but I will in this week at some point

GAK's service is second to none.

For me I enjoy amps as much as basses, there is something really fun about getting something extremely powerful and shaking the neighbourhood, especially ones with cool buttons like 'global attack' that's a cool button.

Just had a practice, wasn't tragic, might pull this off.

[quote name='woodyratm' post='1276046' date='Jun 20 2011, 04:45 PM']Hey guys, This will be an interesting thread. I currently might have some money just now (flat repair or new bass...) I have about 2k max to spend. I want something like my Lakland DJ4 since i love the neck profile of it. I will admit that i'm a sucker for a 70s jazz in Natural with maple neck and block inlays but thats not a major requirement. I prefer J style pickups and would like to be able to bypass a preamp (im not sure how the zvex pedals react with actives?) I've messaged Jon Shuker about a stock bass he appears to have just now, but i'm not sure if that will still be available etc. So... fun part. Anyone got any suggestions for me? Go nuts. Dave[/quote] If I was in your position I'd get a natural Sadowsky with maple neck.

[quote name='mart' post='1276039' date='Jun 20 2011, 04:40 PM']Did you try taking too much off, or too little?[/quote] Too much took me 3 weeks.

[quote name='mart' post='1275998' date='Jun 20 2011, 03:47 PM']Yep, don't try taking the whole finish off. Just make sure there are no glossy patches left (no reflections when you hold it to the light).[/quote] Found that out the hard way on my first re-fin.

[quote name='gary mac' post='1275912' date='Jun 20 2011, 02:13 PM']That looks like a serious bit of kit Wayne. No lightweight wimpy gear for you [/quote] Will be tomorrow when I pick up a Bass Terror.

My rig is the lightest of all, I just need to run a lead from my house to the venue, they'll hear it.

[quote name='JTUK' post='1275706' date='Jun 20 2011, 11:26 AM']Done[/quote] Cheers buddy have left him a message.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='1275679' date='Jun 20 2011, 11:07 AM']My 500watt rig weighs less than my Ashdown MAG combo.[/quote] Is that working now?

I have searched everywhere and unless I've been smoking crack I'm sure someone on here got an orange case made for his/her head. Who was it?

[quote name='JTUK' post='1275654' date='Jun 20 2011, 10:44 AM']Wdude, if you want a guy to look at it..I have someone in Maidstone. Very good and reasonable, but will not like the weight so you should probably have to run that by him and move it yourself...[/quote] PM me the details please.

I had this problem so I sold everything and I'm in the process of putting together a heavy and a light rig.

Rush

[quote name='JTUK' post='1275566' date='Jun 20 2011, 09:16 AM']So, you got one after all...I thought the opportunity had gone and you left it a tad too late..??[/quote] Nah, it got sorted in the end

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1275536' date='Jun 20 2011, 08:23 AM']Ah! the old "I am not a guitar player and know next to nothing about these things" ruse. At least it wasn't claimed to have been found in an uncle's loft. Of course its a fake.[/quote] Weird that he bought a set of 12 string guitar strings.

[quote name='kurcatovium' post='1275424' date='Jun 19 2011, 11:48 PM']LOL, for that price I'll buy two! :-D Expensive, ugly, terrible sounding, what else can man want?[/quote] Crabs
