  1. can someone help me?

    on Stuart's transcripton, between the standard notation and tab, there's a sequence of [i]t[/i] s and [i]p [/i] s which seem to be in line with the notes.

    my understanding of theory is zilch so i don't know what it means?

    I thought it might be instruction for slap, which i ain't too great on either :blush:

  2. not a direct sale per se, but Ishibashi has a nice looking '75 Reissue Jazz in their u-box...

    except some stupid righty has buggered it up by installing a jack in the back , plus a strap button on the lower horn.

    WHAT IS THE BLOODY POINT IF YOU HAVE INFINTELY MORE CHOICE THAN LEFTIES DO YOU CRETIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    have a looky, it's awful!

  3. [quote name='philw' post='641113' date='Oct 30 2009, 02:21 PM']This is my problem. Precision necks vary considerably between models[/quote]

    Yeah, i've found this - although the CIJ 62 Precision i recently acquired is pretty much bass nirvana for me, the neck feels like it was custom made for my hands - although as you rightly point out, some a a lot more baseball bat like than others.

    But as a Precision player coming from a Jazz, it's a really nice comfortable neck and i'm pretty certain this one's a keeper

  4. [quote name='metaltime' post='633383' date='Oct 22 2009, 01:06 PM']Lucky for me i'm a lefty and no one ever wants mine. :)[/quote]

    +1 :rolleyes:

    Seriously though, you live and learn. We run our own night once a month (as well as being in a band) and for the next gig, the headliner's amp has apparently gone down and we are potentially without a bass rig.

    One of the other lads who is in our band suggested "Mate, can't you bring your amp down, it's only small"

    Yeah, my Genz Benz rig might be small but i'm fooked if i'm going to let a load of people i don't know rest pints on the top of it and generally treat it like sh*t.

    You're probably going to have to put it down to experience and never lend him (or anyone else) any of your gear again

  5. [quote name='Biggsy' post='626195' date='Oct 14 2009, 05:09 PM']Maple's more desirable and I'm not greedy - I made a little money and passed a bargain on to another lefty, where's the negative?![/quote]

    That's the spirit Biggsy!

    Now, if only i can persuade Jeroen to part with his 75 Jazz then i'll be very happy :) :rolleyes:


    (Just kidding, i know you love that bass!)

  6. +1 to the Classic Vibe / Vintage Modified Jazzes.

    I don't think there's been a bad word said against them in comparison to Fender MIMs. They are well made and are decent instruments.

    Unfortunately they don't do the CV Jazz left handed but as soon as i can scrimp enough together i'm going to get myself a VM Jazz.

    The one i played was unbeatable for the price - certainly better than the dodgy MIM 2009 Jazz i had which was almost twice the price of the Squier

  7. The GigSkinz range carried by Bass Direct seems to be a decent bridge between the upper end Mono bag, which looks ace but pricey at £130, and your deluxe Warwick bags, which retail around £40.

    As soon as i get paid i'm getting one sorted out for my new Precision. They look kinda cool as well - and Mark's a sound guy to deal with!
