That bass is sooo good! I'm still thinking of buying one. I play it every time I go into my friend's shop & it outplays many Fenders, Lakland Skylines of various types, etc. Excellent bass. Buy one before they're all gone, I say! Rich.[/quote] Please stop it. I tried an MM22 last week and it was bloody great. Really tempted to order an MM32 but i'm getting married in 3 weeks and would probably have grounds for divorce pretty quickly !

Darn, there's goes my early retirement.

Does that mean I can start charging for them ?!

Don't take my observations as gospel - I don't know what i'm wittering about most of the time .

I look forward the the first pics with some intrigue

Wouldn't get enough for it for me to sell it really, it's cheap as it is so I might as well keep it knocking about .

Yeah PMT is my favourite store - me and tonyf had already spent over an hour in there before we went to SC !

Yeah, I think the place I tried it sucks for demoing basses anyway, so that didn't help. Come to think of it i've never been impressed with anything soundwise in there... (Birmingham SoundControl's bass dungeon)

It brought up a talkbass review linked back to you![/quote] I'm famous ! ^_^. The pedal is fantastic, just at the moment I can't find a use for it (i'm currently in funk band).

FWIW i've got a box of 10 Procells that I use.

I quite liked the red actually.. They had a DJ5 too but I never did try it.

Never heard of a serach function.

Nah mine hates it. She dislikes me playing and thinks it's a load of noise.

9v is 9v in my book.

Ok - I shall rephrase my point. The Lakland I tried didn't seem any different to a Fender Precision (Mex) on feel or sound from my initial impressions, those being very brief and in non-familiar conditions. I imagine if I took it home and tweaked it i'd get a great sound, but it wasn't happening instore. I think for £800 I expect the differences to jump out at me.. rather than being subtle.

Rosetti will be the official UK dealer for them soon, and we should get some stuff for review in the late summer .

What are you looking to learn ?

Ibanez have pretty tight spacing - check out an SR505. The 'Fenders' as it were (Precision / Jazz / Stingray) will have fairly wide spacing in comparison.

This one must have been about 8lbs, my Stingray is 9-10lbs and this was a lot lighter. As I say the neck just seemed to be made from really cheap and bland looking maple, of course entirely cosmetic but for £800 I expect decent wood. Soundwise maybe I didn't give it a chance, I was using an unfamiliar Trace rig and not in a great room. It didn't sound bad, just it was like any other Precision, be it Fender or a copy.
