    Sympathy bump If you struggle with the cort you might alao struggle with mine, which does repay a light touch

    "Thinking about eBay " bump

    Price ? Don't think you mentioned One ? Edit: ignore me, you only want a trade

    Thanks - just wish someone else thought so enough to send money in exchange for it, or trade something of roughly equal value

    Update on sound: the coil tap sounds like John mc vie on "the chain" to me, using both coils is a very fat precision sound that's quite immense in tone

    I'd be quite interested if mine sells ?

    Thought I'd get more trade offers than this Looking for trades of a similar value - I forgot to mention that before

    Thanks jim Perhaps you could comment on its sound for notts Warwick ? I don't have the experience To me it sounds a bit like a fat precision on both coils and like a jazz on coil tap but don't quote me on that

    It's 28" bass side and 26.5" treble side from saddle to (sloping) nut

    I was typing on an iPhone and it submitted too soon. Made up for it now with loads of them

    For sale or TRADE for a decent five string My prose bass custom five string with fanned frets. It has a mahogany body with a nicely flamed maple neck, the neck has no front markers but has subtle side markers. It took five minutes to get used to the fanned frets. The humbucker has a coil tap and sounds either fat and smooth or clear and smooth depending. It has individual saddles with through body stringing. It's got 24 frets and is strung e thru c. It's very light and easy to play and comfortable to play when seated. Might suit a lady player too ? I'd like around £265for this If youd like to try it, or collect in person that isn't a problem. I live off j28 of the M1. I'd prefer collection due to recent bad experiences

    Yes, my first bass - a white white maple no name pbass copy. I didn't realise how good it was and resprayed it, added pups, fiddle with the electrics, defreyted it, refretted it very badly and generally ruined it. I have no idea what happened to it

    I'm not sniffy about affinity basses and I would really quite like this but also, like you, can't justify another bass so have a bump on me

    [quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1329053629' post='1536484'] Watching this thread with interest as i am taking my two daughters aged 5 and 7 up to "the smoke" for the first time soon. I am a Londoner but moved away years ago and don't go back very often so am unfamiliar with the attractions (not Elvis') Eye sounds good. As does the boat trip. Thinking about the Natural History museum? Planetarium? London zoo? edit for spelling... [/quote] There's a marine exhibit by the south bank of Westminster bridge that's worth a visit. If you're wanting to go on the eye - book online in advance as its much quicker when you get there. River cruises also cheaper online in advance

    Ok - anybody know a good nitro sprayer in the midlands? I suppose I could Also just buy a cheap sunburst body and keep the old one as is.
  22. Geek99
    Short version is , I chipped off a little paint fitting pickups, person before me managed to lose a big chunk of paint/lacquer down to the wood on lower bout then sprayed with car paint. Needs sanding back to make it ok

    I have a 93 jazz cij - its a 62 reissue in sunburst. I thinks it's the lower spec jap pickup version The body is pretty battered due to a previous owner and I'd like it to look better. It would probably need to go back to bare wood Can anyone advise: Is it likely a nitro finish ? Will a polyester respray look much different ? Quote is £150 Should I just get another, preferably jap, sunburst body ? Brandoni £130 What would you do ? I'm not planning to sell but might one day if Abs necessary

    I know it feels as I'm in a similar boat, I also tried stand by me, but found the off beat bit tricky as a relative newbie - I get very very little practice time What I found helpful was buying a drum machine to jam along with. You can decent online ones too. Record yourself If you can - the good bits are a good confidence boost As someone else observed - listen to the bass in songs - I try to imagine bass that i would put in there, even if I can't actually play it yet Listen to the guitar and imagine what you'd play behind it and how you'd change the sound

    I'd like it next please - someone please PM me when one of the copies is available ? Thanks
