[quote name='Johnston' post='838006' date='May 15 2010, 11:14 AM']Just noticed they are all 33.27" scale rather than 34". For the rick-a-like you could understand but why do the others short too.[/quote] They do look Fab for the money. What difference in terms of sound will that shorter scale length make?

[quote name='richardd' post='837881' date='May 15 2010, 08:08 AM'] Bump [/quote] Hi Rich, how goes it? If i can sell my Stingray, i would be very interested in this. Just thought i ought to offer a straight swap though if you fancy it?? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88074"]Black/Black/Maple Stingray4[/url] Cheers mate. Tom -
Have thought long and hard about this and finally decided to part with my favourite "Ray"................. [size=4][color="#FF0000"]Thought some more and decided to keep!!! [/color]:[/size] [s]My first real decent Bass. Never played a better sounding one, it has loads of Bottom end compared with any others i've had or tried, no idea why...but it just has ok!? I bought an American Deluxe Jazz a few weeks ago now and i just cant go back to the neck on the Ray, lovely as it sounds. It is in great condition and only been owned by me from new. There is one small ding on the top of the body shown below. It will come with a new set of strings, I will either put them on or leave in the case for you to put on as you prefer it done. I would like £700 firm. Free delivery in the UK. + Will ship anywhere else at buyers expense. Trade-wise. Straight swap for a Sterling or newish US Jazz, would probably be happy to do a deal on a nice Jap or mexican Jazz with extra cash to me, maybe an Aerodyne non export model... Try me, just as long as it is jazz/sterling type necked. Appologies, pics not the best, will e-mail more/better pics if required..[/s]Cheers Tom

Hi. Welcome along! Tom

Whilst on subject of the Aerodyne, (I quite fancy one) More Basschat induced GAS How easy is it to drop an onboard pre-amp into one? And is it possible without doing any routing for battery etc... Thanks in advance peeps!

[quote name='StevieC' post='829260' date='May 6 2010, 07:10 AM']Planet Earth - Duran Duran (Played with a pick, though fingers is my normal style) Cissy Strut - The Meters Steve[/quote] How weird...I literally just discovered the work of "the meters" on spotify randomly about 5 minutes ago in a rambling "related artists" chain of links. Great band and Cissy Strut is an amazing tune.......anyway.. Start of the chain was RHCP, listening to "pretty little ditty" by them cos thats what i have just learnt. (very pleased with myself, can't wait to show off at band practice)

[quote name='faceman' post='826108' date='May 3 2010, 01:06 AM']Does anyone have any suggestions where to begin, what to read, watch! Also any beginner slap tunes that could be worth trying?[/quote] Like some of you other guys got the pop thing fairly quickly. It took me ages and ages to get the slap thumb thing right, mainly it just didn't sound right, then i watched some old aussie guy on youtube explaining in real simple terms and suddenly just got it! Then it only takes years and years of practice to get faster and remain accurate!!! My tip for a good beginners/first slap track is "jungleman" by RHCP. It is nice and slow and groovey. And pretty simple too. Have fun!

Nice one John. I am always full of admiration for people who are preparred to make the effort to organise these sort of events. Will be nice to meet up.... I will be there!! Tom

[quote name='Rosh' post='803739' date='Apr 12 2010, 02:02 PM']I didn't mean the basses, I'm sure they are fantastic, I just meant not being able to contact someone I'd bought a bass off overseas without playing it would worry me slightly, as would the constant use of capital letters in the ad![/quote] Hmmmm. He is a big volume seller, very good feedback....It does say to... "please call me" instead?? There is a returns policy too if you read the blurb in his shop page. They are also B stock items so i imagine the margins are fairly tight if you know what i mean. Nothing to get too worried about i would think, I'm only lurking at the moment anyway, no bidding as of yet, need to sell a gu$%*ar to raise some funds first. It just looks like an interesting option..... Thanks for the concern though!

There is a shop in the states, selling B-stock Schecter basses on the Bay. see yer: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SCHECTER-OMEN-EXTREME-5-5-STRING-BASS-GUITAR-BLUE_W0QQitemZ130381961280QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item1e5b5ed840"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SCHECTER-OMEN-EXTREM...=item1e5b5ed840[/url] I am feeling pretty much G.A.S free on the 4 string front nowadays, just really want to have another bash at conquering the 5ers. Quite interested in a 35" scale one too, so this seems to fit the bill quite nicely. Spec and finish seems brilliant for the money...too good to be true? Opinions please... Cheers Tom

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='797135' date='Apr 6 2010, 01:29 AM']I got my SVT-3 pro for around 425GBP and that was with a case bag thing that racks it and keeps it relatively safe. Not really had an issue with it's volume though, it does 450 w at 4 ohm and 275w at 8 ohm which isn't weedy, but no good having all that wattage if the cabs can't cut the mustard. I recon 1k is a nice budget you can get a good new or brilliant used for around half then you have the rest to spend on a nice cab[/quote] +1 I got my SVT-3pro from Andy67 on here for around the 400 mark. It has a brilliant sound for what you are doing, spend 5-600 on the best Cab you can get and you will be sorted. I have never had any loudness issues with mine + today i took delivery of a Mesa Powerhouse 410, also from here for 500 ish. It is now officially a VERY LOUD setup!! It keeps up with two cranked 100W Marshall-All valve Gui*%$r amps and those noisy, crashy drums without even breaking a sweat!!! Have fun! Tom

Squier Jazz Classic Vibe - undergoing make over
TommyK replied to Grand Wazoo's topic in Bass Guitars
As a dairy farmer myself i am finding this thread to be of much interest. Dave, You are giving me cow bass GAS, which is as we all well know, not good for the environment! -
Cool. Do they do it in LPB or Sunburst?

I had one of these about 18 months ago which i bought on e-bay for £130!! It is the only bass i regret selling! It convinced me that 5 strings were doable and i loved it. So stupidly i traded it with 2 other fenders for a Stingray5. Although the Stingray was a little easier to play (the necks are W-i-d-e on the Squiers...) it didn't sound half as good to my ears...! (and i love my Stingray4) So i ended up going back to 4s again. I Think the output of these, especially the low B is phenomenal for such a bargin price, think no more....go and get one, if you don't like it i'll have it off you!!! Seriously I am selling a fairly pricey bass at the moment and buying a slightly cheaper one to replace it. I am hoping to get another Squier Jazz V with the left overs
