only got the one now so its my 82 JV squier P/J, dunno what its worth but paid about 450 for it. Would be gutted if it got nicked or damaged though.

£800? You lucky s*d! With that much the skys the limit! EBS, David Eden, Aguilar all pretty reliable aren't they?

You could buy one of these instead: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EBONY-THUMB-REST-THUMBREST-MUSTANG-JAZZ-PRECISION-BASS-/230813934168?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item35bd952258#ht_674wt_1270"]http://www.ebay.co.u...8#ht_674wt_1270[/url] .... and they're made of real wood.... (they [u]are [/u]fab by the way) [/quote] +1 theyre ace, loads nicer than the stock fender sh**e

if its a fake its a good one.

i think the PF 500 will have that ampeg sound, but im sure purists will tell you its nothing like the valve driven tone of a classic SVT. I preamp mine with a dave hall valve pedal and im pretty happy with the sound now.

sounds faulty to me! Never had that with my PF 500 with gain and volume at 2 o'clock or higher, send it back, heard some units are faulty.

thanks for the tip, off to homebase!

Has anyone ever come across a duff new Yamaha guitar or bass? [/quote] nope!

Nope!

yep no bargain now!

[size=4][sub][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Good Review, I have the same and had problems getting the sound i want, but found cranking the bass right up with some mids into 2 1x15's gives me almost the sound im after. Never having owned an ampeg before i was really surprised at how definative the "ampeg" sound is, but ive got used to it and rather like it! Dont rate the compressor much so i use a markbass compressore and one of Dave Halls valve pre amp pedals. I keep mine in a laptop bag which it fits perfectly.[/font][/sub][/size]

[i]good for a polish, bit greasy mind..ooeer missus.[/i]

reckon id make the trip for a day session!

A bit ignorant when it comes to these.

or seymour duncan quarter pounders, but i think you may struggle for 50 squid, i think £80 might get you awesome set of pups.

ah christ, these things are idiot proof so everyone will tell you what they're currently using is fine. So currently i am sporting a boss Tu-3 and its fine.

i think for an eleven year old, he's an incredible talent, once the flashy "look at me" stuff wears thin I imagine he'll grow into an amazing musician.
