  1. There's a Jap one that's just popped up in the Classifieds, jump all over that one if it's in budget.
  2. I'd say (and of course these things are very subjective) that it's very close to the Stingray sound which I define as very 'Hi Fi' sounding. A dark and woody P-Bass this is not, although you could EQ it to get close to that. It's all about the low-mids, except that on these (and Stringrays), it is accompanied by a high end 'zing' which helps cut no end. Cheers, James
  3. I think you're about right on price. Japan made which is in its favour, Foto Flame, which isn't. Reckon that's still a fine bass for £300 and will almost certainly play better than yer average Mexican-made effort which it would be up against cash-wise.
  4. It's an Aries, originally comes from the West Midlands, although its father was a Liverpool dockworker who relocated due to long term illness. It enjoys long walks in the park and warm sunny days and if it were president would make all vet bills free of charge. Its plans for the future include travel and the ultimate dream of opening a Michelin-starred restaurant with Raymond Blanc in rural Oxfordshire.

    hello

    Hi and welcome Sorry, but my name is James too. Can we call you 'Terry' or something? It'd be easier.... Cheers, The Real James
  6. Bumps, up side your head, say BUMPs upside yo' head....
  7. I totally agree with you greg, we should all be supporting our local music shop, but sadly the difference for me is not a little extra. My local charges £24 for D'ads. Stringstar have just sent me some, complete with order tracking, arrived next day for £14. The tenner, for me, is just not an acceptable amount of markup to be paying.
  8. Bass is for sale once more after buyer failed to show for an agreed meetup. One wasted lunch break and a £20 parking ticket later and the bass goes back up for sale or P/X with cash my way.
  9. As long as the paint is not damaged (lacquer flaking or crazing) then Autoglym Super Resin Polish, available from Halfords for about a tenner, produces very nice results.
  10. Excuse my ignorance, I've not seen these that much before, but in the shot of the headstock it looks like there should be two retaining screws running down through the nut - but there aren't? Is this correct? Or do they serve some other purpose? Cheers, James
  11. This is currently on hold pending arrangements for a sale Will update the thread asap once I've more info
  12. Sorry, it's sold - I can't find the facility to lock the thread
  13. Had it about a month now MB1 and although it sounds great, i'm not gelling with it as I hoped If I had limitless funds, it'd be worth keeping, but as is I'd rather get something that will get more play-time. Cheers, James
  14. Hi all, Just recently bought this but as I have small hands I am finding the neck a bit of a struggle, being used to the slim Jazz necks. Looking to get back what I paid for it, £250 (now dropped to [b]£225[/b]) but can include a hard case which fits it well for £35 on top, otherwise it will be well packed in a suitable box. Postage would be around £15-20 inclusive of the hard case and appropriate insurance. Cheers, James
  15. The bass ya bastid Of course the electrics don't work in the Alfa!
