Aha i knew it was you..i saw you on youtube with the Progress and put 2 and 2 together....im erm.... Andrew that played with The Fennel briefly before...Pete and CO (may) have mentioned me...i saw you play at the Frog... Anyways i was thinking you had a Fender jazz, with my recommended tone adjustments....I take it the OW Jazz is active..if so, do you know what pre is in it?

[quote name='silddx' post='875440' date='Jun 23 2010, 02:18 PM']I agree, what's the point of taking the risk? B5 - I like that avatar, it's a great shot. Are you going to keep it this time? You are becoming known as "the man with a million avatars" assuming you are male this is.[/quote]He he, no im male...androgynous maybe,..the shot is of Erykha Badu...i love some photography and this IMO is a great shot..prob wont stay there...i should prob find a hobby hey..

[quote name='Ajrt' post='875426' date='Jun 23 2010, 02:03 PM']Although I have never tried it myself, I can't imagine there would be any damage. The finish on basses is normally waterproof. If the bass wasn't plugged in I can't see the electrics being damaged either. As long as the bass isn't left wet then there shouldn't be a risk of rust or warping. Don't quote me on that though.[/quote] Are you kidding me? if water gets into the pots they will not work properly...water in the neck joint, after time this will have an effect on the wood...some basses have porous finishes..you cant get water out of everywhere..rust is not good on signal points.. use a dummy bass..

Are you serious...NO...cant see that doing the bass any good,,...even if its not plugged in..if its active and there is any water left in the pre it will fry it..the pots will suffer too...also water might will get into the pup windings... i guess this is mute if you dry it out really well...seems like alot of hassle...is it your bass? expensive?i wouldnt risk it

Dont think any of those bassists used flats on those recordings..roll off the tone on your jazz..is it a fender...The Mc Fadden and White head tune sounds like its played on a P Bass..so does the Bee Gees track... That tone for a jazz, i would roll off the bridge and roll down the tone... Hey NJE i didnt realise you were a cheltenham man...me too!! Hey do you play a Overwater at the moment...what band have you played for recently?

My Sei Jazz..never get bored...what i plug the amp into is another question...Generator?

im not sure

[quote name='steantval' post='870247' date='Jun 17 2010, 09:26 PM']How do you folks attach these you tube videos to your posts? I cannot seem to work it out.[/quote]Pull up Bass Chat...then open up a different page with you tube...Pull the cursor over the address of Youtube location at top...then copy and paste to Bass Chat text page..did that make sense..

Had 13, down to 2...Im pretty much gas free..but i find it hard not to want this bad boy..

This is a great idea Dave..i will add later

Most have seen these..but some maybe not...and im bored so... Excuse the mishmash of pics.. Fender 24 fret Jazz...Great bass...miss it... Fender MIJ 62 RI...This was a cool bass, Custom Shop pups that were hot! Fender USA Jazz 5...Nice bass, great Jazz growl..Nice color... Fender USA 75 RI...Looks the buisness, loads of mids this one..Awsome slap tone...Wasnt too keen on the all gloss finish though.. Fender USA Custom Shop Closet Classic 1970 LTD Jazz...Best Fender ive owned...for some reason i get bored and want to trade...im an idiot..never again.. Sadowsky RV5..What a tone, what a bass..Couldnt get the action i wanted though....Ordered for Roger when prices were low! Warwick Corvette $$ 5..Huge tone...Im not a warwick man though...Dont like small body's...Didnt mind the neck though, i can play most necks Sting Ray 5...I wish i had never let this go...Amazing build quality, solid S5 tone, lovely neck..And a lovely matching headstock.. Lakland 55-01 Glockenklang pre with Nordies...Great bass, nice tone from this combo... Jack Read Custom NAMM bass...Traded for this bass..Was ok, EMG's a little harsh without a preamp...good slap tone though... Elrick/Cort 5...This was a really nice playable bass, but the preamp let it down... Ostinato 4...Took a gamble when i bought it from the Gallery...it paid off, this bass was amazing...The EMG OBP2 combo was smokin... Yamaha TRB6II...To date (for the price) the best made, pro instrument ive had..Amazing tone, heavy.. Sei Jazz 5 U Retro, Bartolinis...What can i say...Blows them all away,,Build, Looks, Tone, Weight, Feel, Neck, Versatility...They are all top notch from a world class instrument....Ive never played better.... IF i had GAS (which im fending off for now) i would prob look to Sei... sorry to bore some with these pics again..oh the Sei is pre U Retro..I hope Gwillym doesnt mind me using his pics

This is from Ed Friedland.... What does he mean by this? Quote... Their construction design allows them to fit on basses from standard 34" scale to 37.75" scale. If you play a 35" scale 5-string that strings through the body, DRs will definitely fit.....

OBBM it is then...looking like real quality at a great price...

DR's for sure...i love the Marcus Millers..oh and they are bendy! big fat tone with zing! best string on the market IMHO..

[quote name='chris_b' post='869251' date='Jun 16 2010, 05:16 PM']OBBM.... where have you been???[/quote] swearing at my lead

???? ive googled it?

Well i have a rehearsal thursday and my lead has given up the ghost!! its just a cheapy, so what do i expect...have had loads of sh*te leads so looking for a good one... Looking to spend £30 ish...Any recommendations...i was thinking George L's or maybe a Planet Waves...I do not want moulded jacks..

Check Juan's groove in this... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz50iA39L9c&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz50iA39L9c...feature=related[/url]

nearly let this go.. why oh why... Sei 5 string Jazz bass Swamp ash body, Olive wood top, Bartlolini's, U Retro preamp,weighs 8 poundsish....one awsome bass...

the fact that there great instruments is not the issue for me...im sure there great...its the fact that your playing an instrument that hanckers after someone elses tone, look, vibe...ok im prob being harsh...and cynical
