It can be done on a 5-string (and even on a 6-string) but it does take some practice as it's certainly not as easy to slap as it is on a 4-string.

Surrey A bit too far. I will get the money together and get it off him in the new year. I'll also keep an eye out on here in case a better deal comes up. Thanks.

I do not know. He said it'd be the kind of thing a local shop could do for a small fee. I would presume saddle adjustments

Ok thanks for the tips. It's my friend selling it who I've known for years so I do trust him not to pass on some bodged nightmare . As for the reason for not fixing, he upgraded and got a musicman and stopped using this. He then stopped playing all together about 3 or 4 years ago now. As you can see from my signature at the moment I have a shine warrior 5-string. I like the action on it but I'd like to get something better. I'm draw to Fenders and I'd ideally like to get a '59 Jazz but there's a slight problem, money... As such I'm looking at something slightly lower but still with the great Fender sound.

Hi, I'm considering getting another bass off my friend. It's a fairly recent mexican fender jazz bass. He's told me it needs a quick MOT, bridge resetting etc. and also one of the knobs has come off. Any ideas on how much it's worth?

I was looking at those and they look pretty good. I'll pick one up at some point when I have some money!

Hi, I'm Alex. I've been playing bass since the beginning of 2009. I had wanted to play for a while but I ended up with some money and finally got a guitar. On the other hand, I've been playing drums for about 9 years (that's what I'm really good at) I also operate a small 'recording' studio and I work as a sound engineer part-time.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll inevitably be back! Alex.

Alright, thanks for the advice. I'll try and find a used boss then. As for the DI, I'll get one of those as well!

Thanks for the help guys, this seems like a good forum. I'll hang around. All I'd like to get now is a distortion pedal for some of the songs I play... Behringers look cheap, are they alright or are they one of those things that go into the barge pole category?

Damn it man You said that about a minute after I paid for the other one! £140 including delivery.

Alright, thanks for your help. I think I'll go for it. Replacing my Stagg 20BA So anything is an improvement!

Cheers Wayne I only ask because the ad says this [quote]A front panel CD input means you can play along with pre-recorded backing tracks, while also doubling as a line output for recording situations.[/quote]

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='538903' date='Jul 12 2009, 10:25 PM']A DI box would be best it's just a question of whether the amp would loud enough to monitor yourself over the band.[/quote] The other amps are 50W and 60W. Plus we use stage monitors Also, RE: my other question, is there a Line Output on the amp?

No DI output, hmm. Am I right in thinking DI could (in theory) be taken from the headphones? It should be alright, just needs to be turned down mixer end Or split the signal with a stomp box and take the DI with that? As for type of band, it'd be used in a studio therefore for many genres of music. If I took it live it'd be Rock or light metal. But if the amp is set to 70% and the proper volume comes from the PA I can't see any problems. Although there might be something I'm missing here. Actually, [quote]A front panel CD input means you can play along with pre-recorded backing tracks, while also doubling as a line output for recording situations.[/quote] Couldn't I just take a line out then?

Ok, thanks for the quick response! It would mainly be for practice/studio work so the volume won't be a problem When taken live it'll be DIed into a pa system so should it be alright? P.S. £85! second hand?

I'm looking at replacing my current (rather small) bass amp. Has anyone used one of the Ashdown Perfect 10 Bass Stacks? I can get one for £140. I was just wondering if anyone has used one and can tell me whether it's a complete waste of money (If it is )
