love it! my favorite Chaka album by far.. The big guys bass playing is just out of this world.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNArTCG6j2A"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNArTCG6j2A[/url]

Maze.....what a track..what a vid..in my top ten favorite bands.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waSM0rXDLys"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waSM0rXDLys[/url]

'The Greek' just reminded me of this classic.. 80's groove with a bit of electro, at its best.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e1XUnOSxAs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e1XUnOSxAs[/url]

My sisters husband had a Low End LEJ5 for a while, and i was in love with it... very versatile.. i could dial in any, and i mean any tone.... was really light too.. really wanted to take it home....not sure about the T Bird.. there was a pink J on here that looked nice.. Dan Lutz is a monster player from what ive seen.. Loves his Gospel..

i think this dingwall has a lovely colour combo....

I cant remember where i saw it but there was a Gold Celinder with a tort guard and it looked amazing..that would be my choice.. or a cream Dingwall with a tort guard...

i thought it was Les Claypool..

IMO the work ethic from Japan is far beyond any other mass produced make of bass... this doesnt stop at instruments..i remember watching a film about a Honda factory.. the way they organise there workforce and the thought they put into manufacturing is very impressive. i wouldnt hesitate in buying a Crews bass or a Moon etc..

i put a set of DR low riders on mine and it was awsome..the B was super tight... a hex core makes a difference on a B string IMO... i

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1105766' date='Jan 28 2011, 12:41 AM']My blue pearl with the black gloss pg and black knobs looks the bollocks! mm do seam to do colours very well and I have never seen a poor finish on one either, I was looking at the Teal and maple one that was in the fs last week and I thought how nice it looked then realised it was identical to my 2002 the main reasons I went knew was the fact I really wanted the normal ray EQ and alnico pup so already that limited me to fairly new (2008) ones and it was from Santa anyway [/quote]Pete everytime i see yours it reminds me of my old one damn you.. same colour...

[quote name='risingson' post='1105762' date='Jan 28 2011, 12:36 AM']Yes nothing gets past me! Unfortunately my financial position is poor, we've just released our debut album and we're back to promoting it as best we can right now and it involves a lot of work for little to no return. Hoping this will change soon, it's a shame otherwise I would have snapped it up mate![/quote]yeah it was like the the bus was 2.90 but i only had £1.10.. and it sailed passed..

[quote name='risingson' post='1105685' date='Jan 27 2011, 11:02 PM']It's the only bass I'm interested in buying at the moment. The price of them has gone through the roof though! EDIT really like the last one, Paul Turner used the exact same one (colour, piezo, everything) back with Jamiroquai on the 2005 tour, sounded ace.[/quote]Did you see the one for £600.. i would without doubt buy 2nd hand.. the great thing about (among other great things) SR5's is they are so comfortable to play..other 5's ive had like a Lakland 55, or a Fender J5, are a little bit of a stretch..but the SR5 like the Sei, are a breeze..the SR5 was nicer than the Sei for B string and comfort...just a very together 5 string.. everything was there..

Their basses are usually better than the USA ones! But if you're just after a good passive jazz bass, you really can't go wrong with the Classic Vibe Jazz bass. For a little bit of cash, you get a bloody brilliant little bass. I wish I'd never sold mine![/quote]arent CIJ's hard to find now?..Squire's are certainly great basses.. they dont touch MIJ Fender though IMO.. this is an MIJ played by Julian Crampton.. i played this very bass through a phil jones suitcase combo, when i spoke to him at the jazz cafe back stage he said all he changed was the bridge... he had the action very low for a Fender... he said it cost him £500.... this is a vid of that bass..

go MIJ.... USA quality at a third of the price

i dont get GAS (MUCH) these days, but what keeps popping into my mind is an SR5.. i had a fantastic one, but let it go for financial reasons.. it was the only bass i really regret letting go.... The one i had was just an incredible bass.. weight, playability, the build quality was the best ive had, the punch and tone were amazing..... im getting the need to get one again.. Im either going to sell some studio monitors or save... the one i had was on here a while ago for sale... did anyone buy it?....if anyone can remember the sale of my old one can you link me...Was blue with matching headstock.. These are really nice.. my vote goes for the Sequoia Gold Finish 2008 LTD SR5.. just lovely.. or the white... oh or the sterling silver...they were always very good at combining colour combos Music Man....
