Hurrah..! yeah for sure Gaf... nearer the time, we can all arrange to meet up... Yvonne a friend im going with spotted this teaser on YT.. the rehearsal for this and other spring gigs... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNX4wOj5EeI&feature=player_embedded[/media]

I know there are other threads on this but i just wanted to know whos attending... As ive not met that many bass chatters... it would be great to meet those who are going..! Maybe exchange numbers and have a drink and a chat at the bar...as the only person i will recognise is Mark... or Gafbass but not sure if hes goin?

what did you pay for it... was it brand new when bought, second hand?

I think Marks shop is the best bass shop in the UK... ive been there and for a person who likes everything bass, his shop is amazing... even though hes not into Aguilar... !

the worse phrase when someone is explaining how good there bass is..... "It plays like butter"... what a pointless non descriptive load of nonsense... very annoying...

oh thats cool my friend... really glad you enjoyed as much as i did dude...

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1334361806' post='1615343'] firstly it's the feel of the neck - neither of mine (Bitsa Jazz and Blade 5 string) are high-glossed, and I'm much happier with that. They sound great too, but I've gone the opposite way about it than you -John East press all the way baby. I can dial in 'my sound' no matter what amp I'm using. They've both got at the lovely 'growl' in spades too. . Excuse me, I must go and play one of them... [/quote]Paul im not one for a glossy neck either.. over the months ive used very fine wire wool to take the gloss to a great smooth matt gloss....its so nice to play... , i really dont think a pre would add that much more to its character.... if any, i would add a Aguilar OB3 on board, for some huge power, but there are no holes going into this bass... by the way those Blades are killer instruments

that you love so much... for me its that classic 70's spacing jazz growl and punch from my MIJ 75 jazz... the amazing neck.. the simplicity of the 2 volumes and the tone.. it does what it does, and more, so well... im sure this sort of tone was the inspiration, for the first person to build a super jazz.... what makes your bass very cool to you....?

for me this is groove playing.. Gene Perez on a Jazz Bass.... yes i have posted this before... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc8aCFWjdDk

this tune has been a favorite of mine for a long long time.. a total underground groove classic.. i just love the synth voice on this track...[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqtFeY_wU80[/media]

ouch... remember kids... dont drop your Warwick on its knobs... should be ok mind...

1000 being the highest ive seen... but i see them being sould secondhand for 800... ?

A thing just occured to me.... An MIJ 75 RI non export (like mine) is prob worth around 600/700 max... then i see people selling there MM Jazz for as much as 1000... My Jazz has USA pickups, while the MM has japan pickups... i really cant see how the Miller is worth so much more.. i actually think a non export 75 MIJ is a better bass... no bitterness here,...just sayin..

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2ZEtWA-N9w&feature=relmfu[/media] This reminds me a lot of one of the more famous Acid Jazz tracks but I can't think which one [/quote] Incognito covered this... is that what your thinking of..? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzQg9Zcdlfk&feature=related

sorry the first two are hideous... really cant stand all that headless stuff.. just reminds me of a guy i used to know who wanted to marry Mark King... more evidence of a maker trying to solve a problem that doesnt exist

Check how much padding these extra pockets have as there's very little on the Mono. [/quote]its a standard MAcBook so a little smaller than your pro...
