    I used to have one of these. Miss it terribly 😦

    Not so much a technical fault as such, but once our singer arrived a bit later than the rest of us and was jokingly told by the promoter at the door that he had the wrong night. First we know about this is an hour later, frantically trying to locate the singer and discovering he'd got the train home. Anyway, the show must go on and all that. We're just about to go onstage when I discover my bass had been stolen. I think we realised the odds were against us at that point. And no, I didn't have a spare bass either.

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1429601038' post='2752936'] Why would you play anyone's bass lines at all..?? I just noodle with things that I've come up with and I'll be trying to the bass to sound like it could handle the sounds within the styles that I hear and play. I kind of laugh when I hear someone playing a standard bassline, tbh.. [/quote] Not everyone is able to compose their own music, or improvise.

    I'm one of the few who actually prefers the 424 over the 1024. Mainly because it does an accurate Precision impression, whereas the 1024 sounds a bit more 'refined' to my ears. The 1024 is better made but the 424 is still superbly put together and an absolute bargain for what it is.

    Later used to have a great mix back in the 90s, and bands were allowed to play far louder. These days there is a strict volume limit, and it's really noticeable. The heavier acts sound like they've lost a bollock.

    I picked this up on here a few weeks ago and it completely re-ignited a passion for the Jazz Bass. It's a fabulous bass, MIM and dating from around 1999/2000 I believe. It's in superb condition with just a couple of very minor niggles I have captured in the pics below - there is a light scratch to the finish beside the bottom strap button, and a previous owner has been a bit sloppy when drilling the body for the bridge cover, resulting in two small holes next to each other. The cover still fits securely, and if you prefer to put the screw back into the hole the second hole isn't really noticeable. No other body wear I can see, and the neck is pristine. It's an absolute joy to play and sounds fantastic. It's only up for sale as I have a Road Worn on the way. I have the bridge and pickup covers too if you want them. A previous owner has also fitted Dimarzio pickups. The bass is located in Dartford - test drives welcome, collection preferred or can deliver/meet if not too far. Trades considered!

    I'm having to put a few things up for sale to help fund my incoming Road Worn, so first up is my humble little Classic Vibe Precision. I only picked this up on here a few weeks back and I've been amazed by it - the build quality, tone and playability is fantastic. These Classic Vibes really are quite special and I reckon I'll regret selling it but needs must. I reckon it's worth more than I've put it up for but that's what I paid so there it is. The bass is in the rare Sonic Blue finish, now discontinued, and is in as-new condition. Bass is located in Dartford, Kent - test drives welcome, collection preferred or can deliver/meet up if not too far. No trade offers please!

    Foderas do nothing for me but it would be very hypocritical of me to comment on their pricing as I'm an Alembic nut! What surprises me is that BGM are reviewing Fodera yet again...
