I have an SVT and a Fender Jazz with a Badass, so I obviously have superior tone to everyone here, sometimes I don't know why I bother with you lot.

Jens Ritter is a pretty flash designer.

Nice base.

While we are here don't most pros use the SVT-CL?

I have a f***ing heavy Ampeg but have heard just a good of a tone through a Sansamp and a Mark Bass head but I can't get it because I'm not a very good bass player so I need the Ampeg to make me sound good, maybe me and you have that in common.

[quote name='bobbytodd' post='941561' date='Aug 31 2010, 11:31 PM']are you an Ampeg salesman?[/quote] He isn't a very good one, I'm considering selling mine on the back of this thread.

Nice quick edit

You mentioned Aria before. Perhaps one of [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-STB-GT4-Bass-/120573252876?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV"]these[/url] might be more appropriate.[/quote] Fair point mate, personally I think tone is only really a problem when you can actually play. I have a Stingray copy I'd get rid of but it's not great quality.

This would be good if it's still around [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89133&hl=squier+jazz"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=squier+jazz[/url]

I always suggest a Jazz to first timers, great variety of tone and if you don't get on with it they are easy to move on. Look at the Squier stuff, if you can afford something better that an Affinity do, maybe a Vintage modified, Classic Vibe or a Standard. Look to go second hand you will get much more for your money.

Hmm sounds like you're going to need a Ritter.

You have a 1X15 sitting here you can borrow Nic.

Always get drawn to a Fender Jazz, it's just the standard.

Sad times mate, wish you all the luck in the world. I have had the opposite this weekend, being at Reading made me realise how much I love it and how I want to play there in the next few years and that's what I'm going to focus my spare energy on, there is something about the punch of an Ampeg 8X10 hitting you in the chest when you are standing there that is just so contagious. Seriously mate best of luck.

Just back from Reading, QOTSA were EPIC, night.l

If you can afford it and it's what you want why not, just obviously take in to account depreciation. If it was about how good a player you are to how good a bass you play they wouldn't allow me to own any.

I could be WAY off but don't Danelectro have a 32"?

The 5 string I sent round has been at about 10 BCers.

Let's get it Started - BEP Horrid 'band' but damn right funky bassline.
