Thats a very classy looking jazz bass.... love the blocks against that smokin pickguard..

why oh why would someone who had a Vigier, who knew about, or owned such an instrument, sell to cash generator.... ? they buy for way under the sale price that you could poss get on ebay... says a little about the seller imo... anyone missing a Vigier..? also who designed that bass,.... a blind man, that control layout is possibly the worst ive ever seen

[quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1324373294' post='1473416'] Hi there, I've got a non-export CIJ 75 Jazz, which I got from John at Far East (the one in my avatar). It's a great bass, but I'm ultimately realising that I prefer a rosewood board, so am a.) looking to get one direct from Ishibashi - and they seem to be able to sell direct rather that just through the U-box, and b.) will be looking to sell my current one. If you are interested, drop me a PM. Either way, I can say that they are fantastic basses! Cheers. [/quote]PM'd

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1324340488' post='1473314'] Hold on a minute didn't you have one of these not too long ago? A surf green one if I recall..... Not sure if this guy is still operating? Some nice basses but not cheap [url="http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk/index.php?f=data_fender_japan_new_guitars&a=3"]http://www.guitaremp...new_guitars&a=3[/url] [/quote]well i had a very old 62 RI.. ..... im after the CIJ US 75 RI.. a totally different beast...'

yeah i was thinking Ishibashi, but its all used, which i dont mind but you never know what the previous owner has done with the neck etc.. also the Yen + shipping and tax costs always confuse me...

wicked... hes a lucky dude, and your a great dad....

Can someone give me any info on the best and EASIEST place to order a non export CIJ Fender... i have been saving for a new bass which was going to be a Nordstrand but im out of patience and the CIJ non import Fenders are killer...., so i think this is maybe where my money is going.... i would prefer brand new but isnt there a place where they are second hand... im after the JB75 US with matching headstock..... im aware of a couple of internet dealers but would like any new suggestions... isnt it Far East guitars and another company i cant remember

Have been studying this particular tune and just dig the thought and execution that goes into it... think ive prob listened to it over 50 times.. Fantastic drumming, spot on bass playing... one of the best rythm sections ive heard.. Steely Dan never dig anything boring.. the music for the most, had so much imagination... never has there been a band i learned so much from... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIX8Avhkv2Q

No doubt this is the best Victor Wooten groove playing ive seen... no slap just his awesome fingerstyle...... some of the best bass playing ive ever heard for sure... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-hyEYi0O-M[/media]

Please can someone recommend me a good album to listen to for a good start.....?

well its funky to me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdBShxnovLQ

it will knock some run of the mill tat bass like a Fender into a cocked hat with little effort! ive played many great Fender's... alot easier to play than any Warwicks ive tried.. the tone has so much more character too.... played an awsome Streamer II though..

Now you dont see many of these... early TRB 6 P with a natural, quilted maple top..... what a bass..... [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/fs-ft-feeler-yamaha-trb-6p-natural-finish-beautiful-825719/"]http://www.talkbass....autiful-825719/[/url]

i love smooth soul like this.. there are quite a few young chaps and girls that play at this level.... this chap has some great brazilian genes matched with a great style.. gonna be a master.. shame its all about his showman ship all the time..

why would you want some one elses tone... never understood that

many heard these.? great Bernard grooves.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRGGxYpkICo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e849pS9DjXE&feature=related

this is so good.. Bowie at his best for me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSHY1_ux8rs this tune has such a great simple way about it.. a little Prince i can see here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu2NWaaXAt4
