    Thanks very much ... sounds like I should try moving my thumb to the A and let it touch the E at the same time ... will give it a go
  2. Richard Jinman
    This is a question from a L-plate bassplayer so please go easy on me. I've found it fairly easy moving my thumb between the pick up and the E string and I'm muting the D and G strings with my left hand. So far so good, but occasionally I notice the A string is ringing when I'm playing the D or G. Some players seem to mute the A by moving their thumb from the E string to the A string, but I find this incredibly awkward. Another guy suggested resting the ring finger on the A string, but again I find that completely messes up my two-finger plucking. Wondering what others do and if there's a 'best practice' beyond whatever works for you? Thanks, Richard

    Hey, basschat changed my expletive to stinky poo... how adorable!

    Saw a vid of Larry Graham fronting his own band so naturally all the focus was on the slapping and popping. Impressive obviously, but as a musical experience it was the equivalent of watching popcorn in a microwave. Guess that puts me in the if-the-song-demands-it-then-great camp. Full disclosure: I’m stinky poo at slapping.

    Sticker probably seemed like a great idea in 1984. Spose you could say it was ironic. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1984-SQUIER-by-FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-JV-SERIES-JAPAN/124171232450?hash=item1ce92ea4c2:g:I48AAOSwxx1cHSg6

    Lots of love for UPS none for Hermes. Will go UPS
  14. Richard Jinman
    Ok, good tip. Happy to use UPS.
  15. Richard Jinman
    Hermes is quoting £16.49 to deliver - if it was picked up tomorrow you'd get it on Monday. I'd also need to buy a bass box because it seems unwise to send it in just the gig bag. They're £14. I think the Hermes price only includes £25 of insurance cover so you'd need to think about whether you want to take a chance on that or cover replacement value. Cheers, Richard

    Dms... assuming you want posted to UK?
  17. Richard Jinman
    Yes, happy to post, but another guy in Manchester also wants it. I’ll check cost of postage and see who wants to go ahead and buy.

    Up for sale is my Sire V7 Marcus Miller Second Gen 4-string bass with the Sire gig bag. The bass is a natural and is essentially in new condition as shown by the pictures I hope. I can't see a mark or a ding on it which shouldn't be too surpising because I've only had it 3 months and the guy I bought it from says he purchased it new from Anderton's this year. So why am I selling? It's not an entirely (or even slightly) rational reason considering I've only started playing this year and the Sire is more bass than I need at my level. I love the jazz bass format and I've decided I want a passive jazz and I want to spend a bit of money to get something I love. So on the off chance someone has a nice Fender Jazz - I'd love an American standard - and wants to trade I'd be happy to do a trade and cash deal for instruments worth up to £900. It seems unlikely however, so I suspect it will be a straight sale. I'm in Somerset so I'm happy to courier the instrument at buyer's cost to anywhere in the UK (and the EU as well I guess). I haven't photographed the gig bag, but its pristine like the bass. I know people are going to ask how much it weighs, but I don't have any scales here unfortunately. Hoping that information is available online. As far as I know the bass is completely standard so the spec will be as below: Body Body Material: Swamp Ash / North American Alder Pickguard: Ivory Pearl / Tortoise Neck Neck Material: 1 Piece Hard Maple Neck Shape: C-Shape Scale: 34” Fingerboard: Hard Maple / Ebony Fingerboard Radius: 9.5” Frets: Medium, 20 Frets String Nut: Natural Bone Neck Joint: 4 Bolt Steel Square Plate Electronics Pickups: Marcus Super Jazz Advanced Electronics: Marcus Heritage - 3 with Middle-Frequency Control Controls: Volume / Tone (Dual Pot), Pickup Blender, Treble, Middle / Middle Frequency (Dual Pot), Bass, Mini Toggle (Active / Passive ) Hardware Knobs: Jazz Type Black Plastic Bridge: Heavy Mass Standard Tuning Gear: Premium Open-Gear Hardware Finish: Chrome

    Lovely looking bass. I’ve read that the necks on the MIA GLs are slimmer than the Tributes... more like a jazz. Hoping that’s the case as I’m looking for an upgrade from a jazz squire.

  21. Richard Jinman
    Can you find me a used squire jazz please 😉
  22. Richard Jinman
    Thanks!
  23. Richard Jinman
    Apologies if this is dumb, but is it possible to search individual forums? Eg: search Squire ANDJazz in the Basses for sale section? Tried a global search and it’s not very helpful. While it’s fun trawling through 5 or 6 pages of ads sometimes would be good to find stuff I can actually afford (not just dream about). Thanks!
  24. Richard Jinman
    Yes, good tip. I keep seeing basses that I love - fender Marcus Miller for eg - and assume I’d love it based on looks alone.
  25. Richard Jinman
    Exactly...
