  1. I bought it from Andertons.

    There appears to be some sort of glitch on their "returns" page, so i can't access it as yet. i'm still quite apprehensive about this now. I'd imagined they'd just offer me a like for like and that would be the end of it. From what Crazykiwi said, it doesn't seem as though a repair is a viable option, so this could rumble on for a while.

    Of course, if i'm not happy, i'll just mither Fender as well

  2. just spoke to someone at the shop; they said that the "exchange" period had expired, but they are prepared to collect the bass minus the box and have it "repaired".

    Not sure i'm happy that it's going to be flung around the back of a delivery van from Manchester to Surrey and back!

    I've got to wait for the head honcho to contact me, but i'm a bit concerned thus far!

  3. it's only very slight -but it's there. It's been in and out of the warm and cold constantly over the last month and i've had no issue with it. In fact, i was over the moon with it, considering the hard time MIMs get - until last night!

  4. Hm, think you might be right.

    It's a major headache.

    the annoying thing is that the neck on my Squier is fine and i've had that years now. I can't really blame Fender, the bass was perfect when i received it. Not sure what happened to cause it to pop out, as it were.

  5. I was doing some silent practice with my Fender Jazz last night, and after about 35 minutes i heard a very distinct cracking sound. I thought "oh sh*t!" and then checked the bass over very thoroughly but couldn't find the source of the noise. I thought i must've been imagining it, and started playing again - then i discovered the fault. The skunk stripe on the back of the neck is no longer flush with the neck for about 4-5 inches. It isn't noticeable with the naked eye, but you catch it if you run your fingernail across the radius of the neck. It doesn't affect my ability to play, but it shouldn't have happened.

    What's annoyed me is the bass is brand new and i've had it less than a month. My first thought was to return it to the store, but i got it mail order and the store is about as far away as you can get from where i live, plus i no longer have the box it came in. Plus, i've grown quite attached to it, but i'm not paying for it to be repaired!

    I've emailed the store but they don't open for another hour or so.

    Is it something that can be easily fixed? because i'd rather do that than go through the mither of sending it off, but part me is thinking "it's brand new and you paid enough for it, get one that's not bloody faulty!"

    GRRRRR

  6. i have an Ashdown MAG C115-300 combo for sale.

    First generation model without compression, it has the blueline 1x15 speaker and is rated at 307w RMS. It has FX loop, XLR out, active and passive input, deep and bright boost switches, eq bypass, and the sub-harmonic generator.

    The amp has been gigged maybe 10 times, it's still in great condition, no damage to speaker grille or carpeting.

    I'm asking for £180, or maybe part-exchange plus cash for a GB shuttle 3.0. It's a hefty bit of kit so would prefer not to post!

  7. Hmm, ok that might help!

    i'll give it a go. It's not a really difficult line it's just i can't make out where he's going in a few places!

    Cheers

    PS if anyone wants to give it a go and is a proper musician, i have the standard notation available as a PDF. please PM me if you want it... Suits you sir! OOH! ;)

  8. Right then.

    My problem is thus - i learned the guitar and then bass using tab books etc and have never learned standard notation (i know, i know! ;) )

    I happened upon this guy on YouTube doing a bass cover of Jamerson's line on Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone by Gladys Knight and The Pips, and it's one of the best lines i've heard (IMO).

    I managed to get hold of the guy's transcription but it's in standard notation and i haven't got a clue where to begin! Anyone want to help me out?

    You can listen to the cover here
