Tone is important to the individual. It's not the cake but it could be the icing. I do see logic in the OP post though. I do enjoy the quest for finding sounds similar to those I like, to putting my stamp on a sound and to talking about it on a Bass forum. It isn't what drives me though.

Welcome Felix - Feel free to post pics of your 1976 Precision in our gear porn section.

And it's sold! (not me - I'd be scared of customs charges!!!). Looks pretty legit to me but I'm better with later gear, I must confess

Nice basses & I too have an Orange Terror head and Ampeg cabs. All good fun [quote name='Shire' post='1062405' date='Dec 18 2010, 12:55 PM']Morning guys/girls[/quote] At the risk of exposing you as a pit dweller, tis nearly an hour into the afternoon at the time of your post!

Fingers crossed the crowds are too

Welcome

Bass. Cable. Amp. Job done. Nothing against effects but just not for me

We don't gig in December due to people's family & work commitments (the drummer is Santa!) so we miss out on all the weather causing bookings to be cancelled. We're not exactly a good time party band so we step aside for those who are.

I own a fretless that has been fretted by the previous owner. The dots will be out of line but you learn to adapt. Less of a good idea if you play a lot of different basses - so two others isn't a big problem. I'd think very carefully before proceeding though.

I look forward to the review Kev. I was tempted by the green Hutchins hollowbody myself but they are a bit of an unknown brand for me - I've read about them but not played one

Hi Mike, welcome to Basschat

Don't believe I got as far as the order but phoned up to stock query & the guy I spoke to was very helpful & professional. I didn't place the order as I handle my GAS better these days but he said any order placed before 2pm is despatched same day.

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1060936' date='Dec 16 2010, 08:03 PM']The Terror is great, makes life so easy, and coupled with my Sansamp sounds great.[/quote] Good to hear I'm still yet to get mine in rehearsal as my mob stop in December. Roll on the New Year!

[quote name='ped' post='1060780' date='Dec 16 2010, 05:25 PM']NO HIPPIES ON BASSCHAT[/quote] That's why this guy was on Talk Bass then?!

Are you no longer happy with the Orange Terror or just looking for an alternative?

Welcome to the forum Kiat

[quote name='ped' post='1060769' date='Dec 16 2010, 05:19 PM']My worry would be that he would end up looking like a hippie.[/quote] Some days that is the look I'm going for!

Looks good to me. The other alternative is a brillo pad just to take the edge off a shiny substance

[quote name='bigjohn' post='1060592' date='Dec 16 2010, 02:22 PM']Also - where's the best place to get them?[/quote] EBay was where I got mine. I like bass strings like gurders so these suited me. That said I'm happy with my 55-110 gauge Rotosound flats which seems to be my string of choice these days

I wouldn't be put off any bass I could try for myself but with the Jedson there are a fair few flagging up warnings so I wouldn't buy online. If you could try it in person you might get a rare exception but I would very much look to proceed with caution. Or hold out for what is good.

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1060025' date='Dec 15 2010, 08:51 PM']Well I`ve spent stacks of money on different basses, only to realise that the very one I coveted from the first, the humble Fender Precision, is the bass for me. With all the basses I bought, I always went for a specific sound, and they were never quite there, as it was the P sound that now realise I wanted. Still, it was fun, if costly, getting there.[/quote] +1 to all of that

I've no idea but it might well be over priced

It's great fun. What I found is that you may have to leave the Nitromors on for longer than you'd think. It usually takes a few coats too to get it all off. And you have to post the results! My old thread may prove interesting & the pictures should give you an idea of what to expect [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=94725&hl=stripping+body"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...=stripping+body[/url]

I've not owned a 5 string but if I did it'd either be a Jazz 5 or more likely a Ray 5. It's not on the cards but you never say never
