A sire Jazz with a chunky Neck hmmmm

Id second this ,she wont go wrong with a Sire V5,can't be beaten for the price IMHO.

Ok Jock ,now don't get mardy just because you voted Remain and lost there's a good lad.

We are still in Europe last time I looked ya plank,just not in the EU ,have a word with yourself matey.

Yeeee Haaaa.Just acquired 2 tickets to see my wild west heroes ELO next July at the Utilita Arena Birmingham. I consider myself a very lucky man.

I'd be looking at the sire range to be honest,imho they can't be beaten on spec for the price you pay.

I always fancied being in a Beatles tribute band.that Paul McCartney geezer didn't half come up with some brilliant Bass Lines. I'm on with this one at the minute, great line.

Stick to your day job bud.

Only just dug the Bass out having not played it for 6 years,I couldn't remember when I bought it so this throws some light onto the situation. I may be looking to sell it to fund another purchase. Or maybe not when i'm reminded just how good these sound and the build quality for the price as well.

That's what i thought regarding the letters and numbers. So 2016 then,that's great ,the power of Basschat shines through again.Thanks a lot but, How did you come up with that year and date. then?

Hi Darren, When i zoom in with my phone picture it looks like the letters and numbers are HMN233289 .I maybe wrong though.

Hi,I'm struggling with dating this Yamaha bass.Anyone able to date it.Very much appreciate the help if poss.

Anyone with any experience of using one of these.? Just wondering what they are like with a view to a possible purchase.

If i was selling on Ebay nowadays i would certainly be concerned about the little bit that says..Quote "Payment holds may apply" and worryingly i've read through the garb and i can't see any mention of the finer details of when they may apply this Payment Hold so people will have to draw their own conclusions as to what this may entail.

If we are talking 82 then this was an absolute banger back then,okay it's a synth bass again but what the hell it's a mammoth sounding Bass Track all the same. Jazz funk mastery in it's finest form.

I know this was played on a synth bass,but what bass was this guy using on this mime fest.?

Id forgotten about this one thanks for reminding me.

Brilliant Player she is,and a lovely looking thing she's put her name to to.

I ended up getting the Presonus Eris 3.5 BT Gen 2s as others have said they really are great for the brass. I am in no way affiliated to Presonus so it's not a plug. I must admit though i did consider going down the cheap second hand HI FI Amp and cheap speakers but the only that did deter me was the lack of space i have i my little home Studio and the actual desk i have ,i would have needed a new one but couldn't afford one as i'm one of those rich pensioners that Kier keeps bangin on about. Anyway a big thank you to all that posted with some excellent info on the subject.

Chuck Rainey... Steely Dan esque this, great tone.

Anyone recommend a decent set of Desktop PC speakers for around £100 to mainly play Youtube videos through when i'm practising.

I've seen the Police at smallish venues over the years up until 84 .The most memorable one being in 1979 at the Bridlington Spa,i was right at the front that night he was using a Fretless P Bass and it sounded sublime. That gig last night was nowhere near the power they pushed out in the late 70s.

https://bassguitarrocks.com/bass-amp-eq-for-beginners/ The above article although it's a few years old has proved to me that after playing for 8 years i am very much much still in that learning curve everyone speaks about. Some great info here and if it helps anyone else like it did me then all's good in the Bass world.

A great Danes head looking straight on yes i see it. Had to look a few times mind ya.

Yep big big tune played at the Wigan Casino in 1975,floor filler back then.
