Buy something !?! No, I took a bass in for commission sale.

Great pics, I just happened to be there on the day as the others and recognised Bluejay .

This is a particularly annoying example I found recently; SPB-3 Quarter Pound for P-Bass: http://youtu.be/XHUySLAjp0g

Designer basses, like designer goods are by no means more fit for purpose than 'common' goods but satisfy those with a high degree of disposable income who want the elite items.

I hope not, those reviews were awful and the authors annoying.

My main bass is a 5 but I play some 4's too. I feel limited in terms of notes on the 4's but conversely more comfortable. I have a 6 too that I play the least, I lack the dedication to learn it properly and probably sell it for something 'easier' that I'll use.

Without the Made in USA in the headstock I'd have thought it was a Squier. However, I did not play or plug it in, so this is not the most comprehensive review.

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.
