Ooh I love a bit o' cow bell me!

I really need to either stop drinking or get the WiFi cut off. Bugera 2x10 cab on the way.

Hi Andy. I'm fairly new to this forum so I don't know you and I'm not familiar with your posts, but the "tone" (for want of a better word) of this posts is very familiar to me. It sounds like you're burned out (with life in general, not the music) and possibly suffering a bite from the black dog. I've been there many times. So maybe the advice I would give goes a little against the grain from a musicians standpoint. Stop putting pressure on yourself and sell up. The more you look at the gear and the more you think about it the worse you will feel. Stuff is just stuff. Everything can be replaced. Take it from someone who has lost everything twice over and literally walked away with the clothes on my back. Clearing everything out is actually quite cathartic. The most important thing you will ever have is your family and your health, both physical and mental. Take the money. Slow down, book that holiday and spend some quality time with your family. If, at a later date things change, it's always fun buying new gear.

Maybe. But they're certainly not £88. Uglier.

I'll take the really really expensive ones, because everyone knows that expensive makes you sound better. (Isn't that how the logic on here usually goes?)

Can't speak for Hungary or indeed Hungarians in the UK. But that's a perfectly normal setup here in Bulgaria. Everything is sent cash on delivery or cash on collection.

Yeah that's the problem. I even found some of the books somewhat suspect back in the day. I find tabs are good for a reference point but you still have to use you ears and play what sounds "right".

It's all done on t'internet now. I don't suppose it's even cost effective to print the things any more given that you can find tabs for almost anything for free online.

Yup. Reset for me too. I made the mistake of "browsing" online after a few beers last night. The upshot, a Squire Jag winging it's way to me as we speak. The internet should come with a breathalyser.

Not a great picture, but you get the gist. I don't actually "need" another bass, but at that price I couldn't resist. I actually prefer playing short scale, and I prefer the look of the Jaguar SS, but as I already own two shorties, and as I said, I've never owned a P bass, I thought it would be good to play around with and get a different vibe. The reviews are good and they seem to be quite versatile and really good value for money, even new. At 130 bucks I think it's a no brainer.

Done! 'Tis on its way. 😁

Sorry, should have said. It's the long scale with the bass boost circuit.

Yeah. I could get stuff delivered to the UK and forward shipped at an extra cost, but it kind of negates any saving I might make. I can order from Thomann and get direct delivery. Although it might come in handy in future for anything that Thomann don't stock. 👍

Sadly no. I'm in Bulgaria and they don't seem to deliver here.

I too like "the song". Despite it's detractors I think it's lyrically great, if somewhat cheesy by today's cynical standards. However, what I don't buy into is the arty farty mentality that seems to surround this version of the song (at least if the YouTube comments are anything to go by) It's kind of like dropping a massive dump on a piece of canvas and calling it "art". Sometimes sh#t is just plain sh#t, no matter how much glitter you throw on it.

So as the title suggests. Does the Jaguar give you "that P bass" sound? I confess, I've never actually owned a P bass, and I accept I'm probably in the minority here, but I've never been a fan of Fender guitars. I just think they're so damned ugly! However, having been on this forum for a while now, there seems to be massive love for the P bass (and also probably equally the Jazz bass) sound. So to anyone who has one, does the Jaguar give you some sort of approximation of the P, and as it's a PJ configuration, the Jazz bass sound? Or does it fall short on both accounts? Now I don't expect miracles, and I fully accept that it's a Squier and not a full on vintage fender P, but I've got the chance of picking one up at a ridiculous price (equivalent of £130 UK) and they seem to be fairly well received. So how does it compare (everything being relative of course) Can I get a taste of that much sort after P bass sound from a cheap Jag?

Ooh no I didn't. Thanks. I'll have a look. Edit. They only deliver to Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium. 😏

I like it! Reminds me of a lot of the stuff I was weaned on growing up in the 80's. I hope I'm not offending anyone by saying it has a kind of Judas Priest vibe about it. (Definitely meant as a compliment) The "Go To Hell" track is great.

Thomann and Gear4Music both have the Veyron in stock. 👍

Good to hear. Thanks. The few bits of information I can find seems to be mostly positive. Although no one seems to have any I'm stock at the minute anyway.
