Thanks for that. I figured it was reasonably modern as it's Indonesian. Not to my tastes but just curious

I thought I'd come across most models but I don't recall these [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SQUIER-FENDER-BASS-GUITAR-/160521965787?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item255fdad0db"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SQUIER-FENDER-BASS-G...=item255fdad0db[/url]

I think it depends on the colour of the bass. The red ones on my Rotosound flats clash more but I have the strings you mention on a Mocha Brown 1978 P-bass and the colour kind of works there. Perhaps with a different colour bass they'd be more of an issue for me?

I've done all my electric bass shows this year on 2 basses and it would have just been one but I'd lent one to a US band who were touring so when we did a couple of shows with them I used the one I'd lent out. After a few years of GAS I never thought I'd get back to that stage and it felt good

One of the coolest looking basses on Basschat IMHO

I used to hate them but I quite like them now. I like the green on the Fender 9050s stainless steel flats as it happens.

As a blanket generalisation it sounds like you want to aim for pickups with a vintage or traditional tag. This is what I use and interestingly most pickups tend to be designed to give a bass more omph & the vintage repo pups are lesser sellers (only found this out recently talking to a Seymour Duncan rep). Personally I really rate Seymour Duncan and would advise you check out [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/basslines/vintage-1/sjb1_vintage_fo/"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/bass...jb1_vintage_fo/[/url] Failing that I do like Wizard and the 64s would be a good second choice [url="http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/shop.asp?category=Bass"]http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/shop.asp?category=Bass[/url] I've usually change pups in my basses. I'm not a big fan of Fender pickups these days. It's a fairly simple mod but tends to really wake my basses up

Welcome Norm

Happy Xmas one & all I hope 2011 is a great year for us all

[quote name='Clarky' post='1066445' date='Dec 22 2010, 08:56 AM']I can't resist seafoam green and wanted a good Jazz so I recently bought Chris Kelly's 1990s Bacchus 62 Jazz[/quote] I do like that

I'm in agreement with skankdelvar's initial post. As long as you are up front about your needs & goals. I spent 8 months playing with musicians where the drummer wanted to play loads of functions and the singer didn't want anything more than a weekly rehearsal. Ultimately it split the band up. I found it useful getting together and fine tuning my chops, even though traditionally I've always been about getting out & playing live. I bet there are a lot of players in your position. Good luck

I was at school near Swindon in the very early 80s so XTC were pretty big news. I'm not a huge fan of the 80s but they were a great band

[quote name='TimR' post='1066321' date='Dec 22 2010, 12:00 AM']I used to be a critic. Now I just watch and enjoy. Occasionally I'll discuss their performance if I'm with another musician. Mostly I'll try to be positive about everyone I see. It's not easy to play live and anyone who gets out of their bedroom and puts the effort into rehearsing and playing a gig deserves some respect.[/quote] Couldn't have put it better myself

If you can afford it, have lessons. I'd also recommend just playing with other musicans. Don't worry about if people like different stuff, you'll progress faster playing with other players. At 15yrs old there is plenty of time to find your dream band / players so you may as well learn with some others whilst you are getting yourself up to speed.

Adding myself to a long list of people who can't help you with what size Allen key you need, welcome to Basschat

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1066046' date='Dec 21 2010, 07:19 PM']Old/proper Orange stuff has the bass and treble no mid Bandaxall tone stack, which is pretty linear, both in the middle is flat style.[/quote] This would be a rare example of me embracing the modern world then because I have my mids on about a 4

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1065467' date='Dec 21 2010, 10:47 AM']Whilst I`ve not used the AD200B, from what I understand the Terrors eq works the same.[/quote] All Orange gear appears to work on the same simple set up. If you like it, great, but if not then it isn't for you.

Sadly yes, and the resale value is pretty non existent too It may be worth keeping half an eye out on these pages for a general 4x10 flightcase although it'd have to be local as the postage costs have to seriously compromise any potential good deal

I think weight is important but not essential. Only one of my Precisions is a bit heavy and it's not a barrier for me using it. Like you say, I've played heavier basses than Precisions. However a good weight is a factor and when considering making a purchase through an online ad the weight on a bass can be the difference in me being prepared to drive X amount of miles to try it out.
