It happens a lot i'm afraid - people feel that they can freely criticise pros on the internet with little reasoning other than apparent envy of their abilities. It's happened with nearly every one that gets mentioned and it's quite tedious. FWIW I was at Bass Day 2008 and saw Hadrien, amazing talent but his music was really not something I could dig.

[quote name='dunetune_jazz' post='693690' date='Dec 26 2009, 01:07 PM']Ped understand where you coming from and also understand the such and such and he said she etc etc .. As I have had to deal with it like wise but I still totally disagree with keeping this law and there are plenty of places to list basses for free without using Ebay ... such as gumtree, findit freeads etc we could be here all day. But I still think it takes away rights from the seller if we are trying to achieve a flat and fair playing field.[/quote] In the nicest possible way - we are providing this forum for free and it's probably the best place there is for selling it to someone honest that will not cause you problems, I think it's a bit grumpy to complain when a simple rule is introduced for the general benefit of the community. It's a topic that's been mentioned for months and months, has been reviewed and general consensus taken into account.

I'm sure it'll be fantastic quality, but what the world does not need is more Jazz copies. It's a saturated market and no-one has to scratch around finding a high quality Jazz bass. I'd be more interested to see them coming out with something SOUNDING like a Jazz but with a less carbon copy design.

It depends a lot which model you had in mind - i've reviewed and owned a couple so might be able to shed some light on them.

The PM system is not broken, locking thread .

Hmm, can anyone post a screenshot ?

Me and ped ran the Bass Direct stall there last year, it did get pretty intense ! There was a definitely volume war going on at times and by the end of the day I was totally 'bassed out'. Didn't play my basses for days afterwards ! Missed it this year for numerous reasons but glad to hear it went well.

Looks like ped is doing some housekeeping..

Hey there fellow Brummie. Where abouts are you ?!

Apologies for the outage chaps. You'll be glad to know it wasn't the forum at fault but a network outage on the host side of things.

Sounds a reasonable idea to me, i'll give it a week to let more opinions form .

Cheers Gadge - will see how easy this is to implement .

What are you comparing it to ? By default with a single humbucker in the position it is, it will very punchy - you won't get the fat thump you would from a Precision style bass. I wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with your bass, it's just designed that way.

It seems to be fixed now ! I suspect phatmonkey sorted and didn't want to tell me what he did .
