It just seemed poor, the fretboard wood was very cheap looking.

We have a forum for this already: http://basschat.co.uk/forum/4-gear-porn/

I saw this yesterday when I was there. It looked a bit naff.

Unless you spend a lot of time changing tuning between songs and they're causing you problems then I wouldn't waste the money. Mine are perfectly good and i've never had an issue with them.

Thanks for the opinions chaps. I think i'll go for the Corvette, as it already has a preamp and I could effectively turn it into a FNA Jazzman (apart from the angled neck pickup). Now I just need to decide what pickup to go for. Anyone ?! Seymour Duncan are quite cheap on Thomann at the moment.

You can sell it. Ignore the mods I always have done.

This forum?!

I'm reliable and he knows it .

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1427703338' post='2733096'] Shouldn't you ask a Mod ... no, wait ... [/quote] I'm not a mod . I like both, different instruments with different sounds but either would work for me in a band as they are.

I want to put an MM style humbucker on one of my basses but cannot decide which. Should I do it on my Precision or Corvette?! I know the position is not going to be the same as a Stingray unless I do it on the corvette which also has the EQ already there. Does anyone have any experience of a P/MM setup? I think the Corvette will be the right choice but I just want to see what others think.

It's quite deceptive, the gap is huge and eliminates the scale difference.

My Lakland does all I need. Everything else I have is superfluous just to satisfy my lust for variety.

I have my Dad's upstairs and it has standard Chromes on it

Since my son was born my band split up (not linked) and I don't have the time or inclination to gig for a while. I have made sure not to sell what I don't 'need' now as I may in a year or 2.

Can this group be used to sell shortscales too? My Dad has a Hofner he wants to sell.

Sorry paul h it's long gone

I haven't bought it since the editorial and management changes. It's too focused on boutique basses no-one can afford and jazz soloing techniques.

I paid £999 for my Lakland but wouldn't sell for under £750. They go for that too which is high considering their retail price. The D Lakins are only just over £1k for a Jazz and less for a Precision. Which is very much in line with Lakland Skylines.

If I wanted a Fender style bass at the moment this is where I'd be heading without any further thoughts.

I wish people would realise that staggering the ferrules does not change scale length. This is determined only by the distance between the bridge saddle and nut. The actual achievement is lowering the angle between the saddle and ferrule minimising the stress on the winding of the string making it less likely to break.

I play all of my basses within a few minutes of each other every few weeks just to remind myself that I have an amazing collection and to tell myself how I need nothing else. Except a Thumb 5 and a Stingray.

They're decent but I wouldn't pay more than £175 for a mint one.
