[quote name='jwbassman' post='505920' date='Jun 4 2009, 10:49 PM']Ok - so I've been asked to bass for Boogie Nights [Disco Inferno, Boogie Wonderland, Shaft etc]... Great as my Overwater fretless is I just don't think it's the right choice for this gig - the question is, what is? What do you thing I should be using, your thoughts appreciated...[/quote] Erm...my 75 Jazz RI......Sorry for the plug....

Used Lakland 44-01..Very good bass...You will be hard pressed to find a better bass than this for the money..IMHO

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='505962' date='Jun 4 2009, 11:34 PM']TBH there are Corvettes and there are Corvettes; you could essentially be asking 'what tone can I expect from a Fender [insert any manufacturer with a large range]' because the Corvette that I own is very different from say the one that 'Waldo' has for sale from the one that 'clauster' has, as much as say a P bass 'v' a Jazz 'v' Squier 'v' a CS. In the Corvette range there are passives, actives, Jazz pups, MM, MM +Jazz, $$, (to name but a few) BO, NT, cheapies, expensives... do you see where I'm coming from? Best advice... Go out and try one because they are all different (inc. neck dimensions). [/quote]Thanks WH, i have my eye on Waldo's Corvette..Wonder if he likes Jazz basses?

Holly Mother thats awsome!! -
A Corvette was the bass i used to drool over when i first started playing..So im thinking about maybe purchasing one.. My Q is, what tone can i expect compared to say a Jazz or a Stingray5.....I have never played a Warwick before....Which is the best Corvette model, i always liked the FNA Jazzman...Are they weighty? Do all Warwicks sound similar, What can i pick up a Double Buck or FNA for these days? Thanks for any comments...

[quote name='Kongo' post='501360' date='May 30 2009, 12:57 AM']LOL you can tell this forum is UK based...Try saying that over on an American one...They go ape! Everything has to be American...[/quote] Im not so sure Kongo.. i know a very dear bass player girlfriend of mine in the US ,and she has confessed to me that MIJ are more consistent than USA instruments...Shes been playing for years in Go Go bands and and her favorite is a 62 RI MJ... its a "True Solid Sunburst Jazz Andrew",.. she says.. You like what you like, no matter where you are

So what can i expect..I have a SR5,but i suspect its not like playing a SR4...What can i expect, thats different from a Jazz..I love the honk i get from my Jazz, its the funkiest tone ive heard this side of Meshell on her Celinder...i could fall in love with the growl of a Jazz..... What can a SR4 Give me that the Jazz doesnt??Im talking String tension(most important), weight, tone, ?? Thanks for the opinions in advance..

[quote name='Linus27' post='500679' date='May 29 2009, 11:05 AM']For your money, you could get a Stingray or Lakland secondhand and the quality of these basses are very high. Yamaha also. Fender can be hit or miss although I have never had a poorly made Fender. The Dirnt Fender does have a very very fat neck so be aware of that.[/quote] I agree with Linus,... MM, or Lakland,.... in the ones that ive played are very consistent, and always very well made. my stingray 5 is the best made bass i own...Like Linus said...Fenders are sometimes, very hit and miss..For me Cij or Mij Fenders are always good..Period.. Unless its USA Custom shop, because the one i got is supreme. I have said this before..Japanese made instruments are so well made..they seem to have a great attitude towards quality, IMHO...Why do you think Roger Sadowsky went there for his of shore production.

Forum newbie looking for Bass buying advice...
bubinga5 replied to squarejawbassist's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='squarejawbassist' post='499410' date='May 27 2009, 10:43 PM']Yes, I was ogling that earlier. I'd love to stretch it but I have to get some graphics software with the money I was bequeathed - hence balancing something that's an investment, something that's a "want". Heh, I guess buying a rare bass would be something of an investment though. Dammit, now I'm talking myself into spending more... I was warned that would happen when visiting the sales section![/quote] Its worth it bro, there great basses.... -

[quote name='GЯДИК' post='498859' date='May 27 2009, 03:13 PM']I sold mine on here last year for £700, I don't think you'll get £950[/quote] If you want to price your bass that low, thats your perogative, but the trick is to price high then get haggled down.. Im not saying i will get 950 but its a waiting game..
