    +1 for mics, combo versus separates is a non issue, it's the quality of signal chain that matters

    [quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1406841478' post='2515307'] I forgot to mention moses, I have heard some conflicting reviews on their necks but I have seen them come up on eBay from time to time. I do fancy a modulus and can't help thinking that they could well be a good investment if held onto for a few years! [/quote] I mentioned Moses as the brand not to buy - for the reasons you mention - not as a consideration (it's the brand I couldn't recall in my first post)

    Status and Modulus are both outstanding if installed professionally/competently. There us a US brand to be avoided at all costs buy the name escapes me

    Hard to see on my phone but is that a rosewood board? If so, nice!

    Irrespective of the rights and wrongs, it'll be a 'small print' issue. If there's no small print, then a key issue is the relationship you have with the folks involved and whether you want to risk that for a bit of form filling and hassle with the likely outcome that whatever happens, you won't be out of pocket anyway. Might not be relevant, but when I was a pro-cyclist I had a pretty serious crash and was told that if I wanted compensation - it was the result of a technical fault with one of the bikes - I had to sue my sponsors. Biting the hand that feeds is never a good idea!

    Yes, but I'd want one of these for the era we play http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMAZING-Custom-Hand-Painted-Rickenbacker-4003-Electric-Bass-Guitar-4001-/111421475532?pt=Guitar&hash=item19f13ccacc (of course, we all know that various members of the Beatles played various basses on various tracks and albums, but you get my meaning)!

    Thanks Martin, despite some deliberation, I think I'm going to keep both my Ampegs and move this on.

    Hi Jake Hope all's well mate. Re tone, I don't really play arco so if you're asking how it sounds in relation to the clip from the Martin site it would be hard for me to say (I suspect that even if I did, it would still be hard for me to say if you get my meaning). Re shoulders, this bass is extremely easy to play in that respect and as I think I've mentioned above, it's nothing like as tiring to play as some I've owned. Anyway, I gig/socialise around Surrey/Hampshire a fair bit so I'd be very happy to meet up with you sometime for you to give it a play? Cheers Chris

    Ha ha, thanks for the above guys, it's certainly a monster. I'd love to sit this between a Modulus Sonic Hammer and a Mesa Boogie 1516EV, it would be the ultimate bass set-up.

    You have PMs

    Ha ha, I've gigged it in the odd pub and had a loads of lovely smooth tubey headroom. Whilst I felt a little over equipped and it was a PITA to load, the bass coming through the floor made it worthwhile

    [quote name='Mike' timestamp='1406325500' post='2510730'] I've got a cheaper DB to offer but not sure I could make up the shortfall, especially after buying an imac. Tricky. [/quote] Happy to open a discussion Mike

    [quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1406035101' post='2507688'] Neck - '71 Fender jazz, with binding and walnut strip. Very yellow and crazed finish. Has had a rosewood fingerboard added (was built as a maple one piece). Plays very well indeed, fingerboard has the lightest of playing marks, no significant wear. Chunkier 70's profile, and a touch deeper overall due to the added fingerboard (although it really doesn't look or measure any bigger than a standard neck plus frets). Ex-Beedster...but thats not uncommon around here. [attachment=167318:IMG_0914.jpg][attachment=167319:IMG_0916.jpg][attachment=167320:IMG_0913.jpg] [/quote] The neck is absolutely outstanding, great player and great looker, made even better by Paul Herman at Wal who worked his magic on the board just before I sold it to Duncan. It's probably worth not far off the asking price for the whole bass to be honest

    Now sold
