Printing your own - now there's an idea that can save a lot of money ! All you need is the image on a white background I assume ?

Hey, welcome to the forum .

The active parametric synthesis could be referring to some EQ built into the cab. Tri-amplified means that lows, mids and highs have separate amps with active crossovers. This should give far greater SPL capability and lower distortion than a conventional rig.[/quote] Do they have flux capacitors too ?! .

Yeah have played a couple in Sound Control. They're ok basses, i'd put them in the same category as Squier / Yamaha starter basses.

Wow they look... expensive !

Is it made on the same line as the normal BB's ? If so it seems very expensive considering a normal BB is around £350.

If it had a bridge pickup too then I could perhaps put up with it .

I would never pay full price on expensive items (basses / amps) unless I thought it was already a bargain. Ticket prices do generally invite a bit of leeway for bartering, just how the industry seems to be.

Classic BB's rock, but the pickup there just makes me think it's some homebrewed experiment, looks wrong to me .

Hi there Paul - I see you found your way here from eBay ! Hope you enjoy the forum.

No such thing as 100% unless they're the original strings too .

Out of curiosity - why do you want to know ?

I'm sure they'd let you play them, after all - how would you know if you like them ?!

A Jazz will never sound like a Stingray - it's the pickups that give each their signature sound. A J-Retro won't make it sound like a different bass, it will however enhance how it already sounds.

Yeah i've had this once, it was a roasting hot day plus no air con in the room. It was the amplified cymbals that did it... felt like my whole brain was shaking around and like I was gonna drop.

Welcome to the forum - an extreme in tastes there, Squier and Overwater !

Ok - I think the conclusion here is you'll have to try both and see which you prefer .

You'd be better off with [url="http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk"]http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk[/url] - Far East doesn't have a lot of stock.

Having played both i'd go for the Squier - felt a bit more solid and sounded nicer .

Though, the only weak thing there, as I've spotted, was your vocalist Was he drunk or somethin'? I'll get my coat...[/quote] He's the reason I left the band - he can't sing .

[quote name='99ster' post='209307' date='May 30 2008, 01:21 AM']I would love to - but not on a website like this. As it's not me that would get the legal hassle, but the guys that run the site.[/quote] Thanks for the consideration - and yes, please don't mention any names .

Wow, that'll never happen to me. The missus only like cheesy dance tunes, I could sit here and play Portrait of Tracy better than Jaco and she'd ask me to keep it down.
